@cmccullough@polymaths.social @kde@floss.social My distro (Zorin) uses GNOME but I *do* sometimes find people complaining about GNOME being heavy/slower and not as customisable as KDE. If you were using GNOME before, can you say what the biggest benefits of switching were?

Replying to @nixCraft@mastodon.social

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I recall reading an article about some third party company that was receiving footage from these spy glasses and that company said the customers don't seem to realise how horribly invasive the glasses are. Figured people would slow down on buying/using them. I'm starting to think we *like* being spied on.

@veronica@explains.social I've still got Meta accounts for business purposes and my personal accounts have been scrubbed. My family still uses Meta, Chrome, Windows, and I feel sick just seeing those services in use in our household. I'm between a rock and a hard place. I can't convince them to change their habits, and I can't depend on the corporations to be half decent. So I'm just here watching them throw their data and privacy away to faceless corpos to sell it.

Looks like a cool project. I use Zorin. Minimum system requirements: CPU: 1 GHz Dual Core – Intel/AMD 64-bit processor RAM: 2 GB Storage: 15 GB (Core), 35 GB (Education), or 45 GB (Pro) Display: 800 × 600 resolution Though it uses GNOME and I believe XFCE is lighter.

@eff@mastodon.social @arstechnica@mastodon.social I read the article, and what I took from it is the dad is either an idiot or naive. He knows about the Discord breach, and claims he isn't a rookie with technology, yet he still goes ahead and lets his daughter submit identification. And this is after going through support hell with Discord. I just can't wrap my head around a parent willingly providing an opportunity for his daughter's info to be caught in another breach. Am I the asshole?

Replying to @nommiesav@social.vivaldi.net

@nommiesav@social.vivaldi.net @Tutanota@mastodon.social Yeah I was using Brave search very recently. I opted for it because as far as I can recall, they have their own crawlers/indexers or whatever they're called. I switched recently to self-hosting SearXNG and although SearXNG doesn't have its own crawlers, I can still use Brave search results (and basically most other search engine results) that I want. Admittedly though, I'm lazy and my solution isn't as polished as Brave.

@ebassi@mastodon.social @scaroo@floss.social Okay I think I get the gist of it now. Seems to convert the Latin alphabet into other languages outside the Latin alphabet in a way that tries to conform to our a standard way of writing/reading. I could be wrong but that's what I got of it. Thank you guys. So why the hell does that need AI?
