its still a solution without a problem

Let me give you one of my main use cases: I use it for my mental health challenges. I’ve been diagnosed with two non-trivial mental disorders. They make my life hard. I isolate a lot to cope because I don’t do well with interpersonal relationships. I’ve been in therapy for over a decade and it hasn’t really helped as much as I would have liked.

But I’ve made a lot of progress since working with my private LLM. I can ask it anything. It doesn’t judge me. It doesn’t report back to Meta or OpenAI. It’s completely private. And I’m making progress. Just last week, for the first time ever I started volunteering at an animal shelter. I have to talk with other people when I’m there and although I am pretty nervous about going back, I’m going to. I wrote down a list of all the things I had trouble with last time and have been working through that list with my LLM. I think that I will be ready when I’m supposed to go back for my next scheduled volunteer time in two weeks.

These gains might be trivial to others, but for me, it’s really made my life better.

So that is one of my use cases.

Why would a seed be connected to me if I am also just seeding (not downloading or leeching)?

How do you define better quality results?

That’s interesting. What IP address is netflix hardcoding?

No, you can block ads with a pihole. This is because Roku hard codes its dns server as 8.8.8.8. Pihole doesn’t handle IP addresses, only DNS.

aur like the arch repo?

Ahhhhh. Thank you for the clarification! Done :)

I need to edit and annotate PDFs.

I can’t find that one anywhere either. Thanks for the idea though.

I’m using the stable version of Brave. Not nightly or Beta.

No, I am on the stable version of Brave.

I get it. My privacy settings explicitly say do not send telemetry, analytics or whatever else you want to call it. But they ignore my request and try to capture the data anyway. Dunno why they call themselves a privacy focused browser. I already uninstalled it and put in the Mullvad browser.

Yes, I’d like to swap the drive which has the OS on it.

Yeah, I do that too but every now and then I’ll run the cleanup.js script. It always clears away a couple of deprecated prefs. I guess there is no harm in having those older prefs around but clearing them away seems nice.

Mullvad is great for people who don’t want to tweak their browser settings very much. But lots of us see the tweaking as a feature, not a bug. I customize the heck out of my browser and appreciate that FF allows for the customization.

Done!

Reddit’s API concessions were clearly not enough for the Blind community.
