Wow. This pic alone made me feel so much better. Such a pleasant vibe.

Damn it we need Private-R1 now

I don’t follow news. If it’s big enough, it will reach me some or the other way.

I used to use perplexity until that news came in about it being a front runner to help companies replace workers who went on a strike demanding better work conditions. (Or something along those lines, I only remember the details sparingly)

I have used Duck AI and Brave AI to replace it.

What does this mean?

AI service by Duckduckgo which offers anonymous access to popular AI models like Chatgpt, Claude, Mixtral, Llama.

There are tons of apps which don’t have a dark mode and you are writing off fediverse app just because it doesn’t have it. Fediverse apps should be supported instead being judged harshly.

Someone needs to answer this

How is Duck AI then when it comes to privacy? I use it a lot.

Even better use Farside

Short-form content is addicting and it is working. In my country tiktok is blocked so the userbase is shifted to either Instagram Reels or YT shorts.

Personally I have them blocked on my revanced but at times I use shorts when I need some quick solution for something like shortcut to reboot graphics driver on Windows, a quick stretch to ease my neck pain etc.

You inspire me to try different sorts of games

Gemini is really far behind. For me it’s Chatgpt > Llama >> Gemini. I haven’t tried Claude since they require mobile number to use it.

It’s not like Steam gives free stuff often. And they give really really old ones too.

Nooooooo Mull is dead now? It’s my default browser.

I hope someone picks it up and forks it like we have Cromite for Bromite.

This is not a shower thought but ok ig

I live in a city and it didn’t map out every address here, like my friend’s address for example. But I feel its fine because that way everyone’s privacy is maintained and if I want to share my location to anyone I can use those unique links associated to my place. Besides that it mapped almost all of the public places and even has navigation built into it(which I thought wouldn’t be available).

These are my initial impressions. Let’s see how it fares up as I keep using it.

Why can’t they be a website than an app for Dekstop?

Also understood that they’re not open-source but are they privacy-respecting?

Edit: Went through their privacy policy and seems they’re privacy-focused. I will be trying their app now.

Downloaded it. It’s crazy how its not really that far behind gmaps.

It is explained in their github.

“Glide typing (only with closed source library ☹️) library not included in the app, as there is no compatible open source library available can be extracted from GApps packages (“swypelibs”), or downloaded here (click on the file and then “raw” or the tiny download button)” https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard#:~:text=Glide typing (,tiny download button)

In the app, you go Advanced > Load gesture typing library > Select your downloaded library.
