I deleted my account just before the deal. It's also the enshitification of the platform.

Fun fact: Android uses Linux

Only after Claude surpassed them by taking a moral stand. Classic.

Motorola announced today a partnership with GrapehenOS. Soon, we will no longer need Google Pixel.

I'm not a heavy phone user, but I have GrapheneOS installed. I think it requires a bit of tech knowledge, but it's cool.

There is Friendica that is an alternative to Facebook.

Personally, if it's not federated and decentralized, it's hard for me to take it seriously. I'm totally okay with new social networks, but if it can't talk to other servers, what's the point?

Yeah, I love OwnCast, it's actually so much simpler than Twitch, and it has no ads.

Host your own OwnCast (https://owncast.online/). It uses ActivityPub and is part of the Fediverse.

I stopped using Kijiji a long time ago and recently deleted my account. It's dead to me. FB Marketplace is one of the few reason why I still have my FB account.

I hope to find decent alternatives eventually in Canada.

Those are very fair concerns. That's also why I'm prioritizing local open source AI over big centralized datacenters.

• It doesn't need water.
• It is private and doesn't collect data.
• I pay my own electricity bills.
• Smaller models tend to me more efficient for simple tasks.
• I use RAM and hardware that I already owned before the AI bubble.
• I'm smart enough to understand that AI isn't perfect and can be delusional.

While AI is still AI, it does make me feel better.

Not sure if you're anti-AI or something, but I intend to use chatbots. To me, it is now like this: local > claude > everything else

I know which AI chatbot to use now. Thank you Donald!

They spy on you to make money, not to save lives. Got it.
