Regarding AI, I filled it in as following:

• What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?
  • Other (please specify): Fuck AI
• In your opinion, what is the most important work for Mozilla to do right now?
  • Other (please specify): Do not implement AI
• What is most important to you in AI?
  • Select nothing

Yes, the script uses git svn under the hood,
however it simplifies the process of a fair amount of steps,
to just x1 easy CLI command with an in/output parameter.

Nope, only SVN => Git

SearXNG: https://github.com/searxng/searxng

It enhances and respects privacy,
is open source and self hostable,
and queries multiple configurable search engines (google, bing, brave, duckduckgo, …)

You can find a list of public hosted instances here:
https://searx.space/

However I prefer to slap an instance randomizer on top, so each of my queries goes through another public SearXNG instance, for more privacy, and mostly, to bypass rate-limiting after frequent queries.

For this I use:

• On Desktop - GimmeASearX:
  https://github.com/demostanis/gimmeasearx
• On the go - SearX NeoCities:
  https://searx.neocities.org/

I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month, quite happy about it so far.

My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.

However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.

It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.

The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it’s an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.

No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS…

I’ve been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.

If you don’t want to switch to LineageOS,
then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

Happily been using it for a few years by now.

The enhanced privacy, extension and about:config support are great features to have.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

Sure hope so.

Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it’s a general “contact your government”,
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.

It’s a slow process and they’ll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you’ll be.
