Just about every consumer facing operating system, search engine and service is using AI now to some extent. I’ve seen folks switching to #openbsd from Linux/Mac/Windows…but what about other services? Proton has AI, and damn near every internet search engine has AI, even the ones that claim to be private and secure. I’d be interested in hearing some realistic tech stacks and workflows that don’t involve tools with AI in them or created with the help of AI. If you are willing to share please comment.

@Kingu@sakurajima.moe anyone who votes AI over ICE really needs to think about what is actually impacting lives.
Has anyone played with this, and how have I not heard about this until now.....
(stock) Google Android is becoming more and more just a platform for Gemini AI. I owned a Pixel for a few years and this has been and continues to be the case. Third party apps are only there because Google knows you need them. Gemini is basically in all the major Google services apps and even if you go through and toggle everything off you are still feeding the AD monster with metrics. GET AN ADBLOCKER ON EVERY DEVICE THAT YOU CAN. (easiest way to fight back against AD companies)
Paying for Brave Origins, or even a search engine seems like a more and more viable choice. Sadly we are reaching pay to play territory.

I know it’s early yet but….. #aluminiumos to #grapheneos for laptops? 🤔
Obviously hardware support needs to be there.

@blainsmith @lopta ditto, i'd say Fedora or Debian. Both offer stable platforms, no snaps by default.

@dwarmstrong@fosstodon.org yeah I had a similar experience with Bluefin a while ago. You learn quickly it's just containers all the way down.

@Mer__edith@mastodon.world Google services already does a lot to increase battery drain in the background so I'd consider not having it running all the time a decent trade for security over convenience.

I’m sure someone somewhere in human existence has quoted something similar but that just came to me this morning and it’s applicable in more than just computing.

@freechelmi@mastodon.social @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org currently no. Only Wildvine L3, software DRM on Linux in browser. It’s not something Framework can fix. Good question though.

@rl_dane@polymaths.social there doesn’t seem to be a marketable reason to capture video footage of human beings that doesn’t involve tracking in all it’s capacities. Especially in public places. And Meta is keeping all of that data, even worse if the faces they are scanning have accounts, rest assured that info will be associated. If it was any other company I might give them the benefit of the doubt.
Replying to
@freechelmi@mastodon.social @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org no it’s just a measuring point that can be made for comparison. Something the layman can understand versus some obscure battery benchmark. Apple uses similar examples.
Replying to
@rootwyrm@weird.autos @cR0w@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange @Viss@mastodon.social not getting into a internet dick measuring contest with you man. You sound very aggro. I agree with majority of the points you make but best example is Lenovo Thinkpads, after supporting repairing them for the past 13+ years I’ve seen them switch to soldered on ram, internal batteries, locking down BIOS features….I’m talking about business grade laptops, nothing near the $5K range. (Maybe that is why I’m making ignorant opinions online) Personally I could never spend that much on a laptop. At that price point I’m looking at desktops.
Dell and HP and also guilty of the same crimes above and I can’t say if that’s the cause of Apple doing it first or where the industry was just headed at the time.
Replying to
@freechelmi@mastodon.social @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org I don’t know if this was translated correctly. To be clear, not being able to do 4K streaming from the browser is a DRM limitation imposed by content providers like Netflix. The blame lies with them, not Framework and not Linux.

So I’m testing out #Ubuntu2604LTS on an intel #thinkpad T14 gen 4 and the standby battery life is atrocious. Went to bed around 10pm, closed the lid and when I woke up in the morning it was completely dead. Am I missing something. I thought newer kernels handled sleep and power settings better? This is borderline unusable.

I don’t think Gnome 50 likes my KVM switch. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS did the same thing and so did Fedora 44 with Gnome.
