Yep, “AI” is a very fancy database query masquerading as science fiction.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Any decent privacy-friendly Duolingo alternatives?English
276·2 天前I use Duolingo every day, seems pretty effective to me.
I’m not sure how it’s a privacy nightmare. I gave them my email address for spam and a false name.
To avoid the ads, I use it via browser (firefox with ublock origin) on my phone instead of on the app.

The expansion is called Fangs of Asterkarn and is gonna have a bunch of cool stuff! I think they said it’ll be out Q1 or early Q2 next year.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Where do British Christmas traditions really come from?English
35·4 天前What an awfully written and excessively reductionist article.
Arguing against Christmas as a Christian or Consumerist occasion would have been a better use of their time.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Atari Gamestation Go $180 - Thoughts?English
24·5 天前Seems like an absolute ripoff.
Fair enough, I totally agree about Ubuntu, although Mint doesn’t have most of the bad Ubuntu stuff. What it does benefit from is Ubuntu’s superior hardware support, PPAs (most important for up-to-date Mesa) and GUI stuff like Driver Manager/Update Manager. For a beginner or casual user there’s no contest.
Yes, I know Mint is downstream of Ubuntu, that’s how I know it doesn’t include Snaps. What exactly other “nonsense” is there or was your statement just a general LMDE puritan hand-wave?

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5LinuxEnglish
31·6 天前Waterfox. As I understand it, Librewolf goes to extremes for privacy to the point where it may impact your browsing experience. Waterfox cares about privacy too but not to the same extreme.
Which Ubuntu stuff does Mint Cinnamon have? I thought the point of Mint was that they removed a bunch of that stuff like Snaps.

Technology@lemmy.world•RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC buildersEnglish
61·7 天前Instructions unclear. Purchased a 5090, 9800X3D and 64gb DDR5 RAM for playing Terraria. Also, it has shiny lights.
Could it be Stickwars?




The killswitch isn’t safe for bittorrent on your own PC as they have a tendency to expose your IP briefly when the connection drops before it kicks in. Binding your torrent client to your VPN network is 100% reliable though so no need for a seedbox.
