We can go further. We need to support science and dream.

If you used Ungoogled Chromium why did you switch and recommend Helium? Can’t you achieve Helium settings and tweaks on Ungoogled Chromium? Why add an additional party to potentially delay security updates?
Its just as open source as the other chromium based browsers
What are you talking about?
They also have very valid reasons for keeping the features that make the UI unique closed
What valid reason? The UI closed source is a terrible move. We have no idea what they added to the UI that can be pushing trackers, or even worse (You can’t verify there is no master keylogger / session stealer).
Youll find that parts of brave arent actually open source either, such as their built in AI or the build in crypto wallet.
What are you talking about? Brave is generally considered fully open source at the browser client level. The entire desktop/mobile browser client (including Shields, ad-blocking, anti-fingerprinting, Brave Rewards client-side logic, Leo AI client integration, etc.) is open source

Well, truth been told this is not literally correct. Their comment is getting a lot of downvotes.
For Android, Vanadium in GOS is a better option than Brave.
For computers, I have to say that this comment has some foundation. Why?
For general navigation (things that don’t require login): Use Mullvad Browser
For logins (things that don’t require total privacy and require better security: email, bank account, etc): For now use Brave (or Trivalent if you are using SecureBlue, or Ungoogled Chromium if you are techy savvy enough to keep the uBO extension working reliably)
With this premise, of privacy and security in PC, is difficult to outcome Brave for the later in terms of convenience.
Brave is open source, if you have a problem with something on it please bring it to us. The bloatware can be managed via settings (although very annoying and not sure when enshifitication will become unbearable).
For those recommending Vivaldi, Vivaldi is not completely open source. So, no, I can’t trust it.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Many Americans Are Open to Car-Free LivingEnglish
2·2 months ago100%.
American cities need more dense areas. Buildings with 4 to 6 floors, commerce in the first floor, great public transportation, and walkable streets. That is it. No suburban homes, no skyscraper, no parking lot mega commerce store areas, no huge highways in living areas. Let’s get rid of the cars. We can do groceries more frequently and walk home.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Intel's upcoming Core Ultra X9 388H is up to 8.7% faster for 1T perf than Ryzen AI Max+ 395 — Panther Lake gains significant ground on Strix Halo in early Geekbench leakEnglish
4·2 months agoIntel is closing the gap but one year later. They also didn’t integrated TB5 yet in this gen which is a big appeal in those low powered CPUs. There is the discrete support but many tests showed that so far the performance on TB5 is underperforming compared to Oculink 4i.
On the positive side, overall is good news the merge of Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake. I’d definitely consider those new Dell laptops with Linux support and TB5 although Dell needs to reduce the outrageous price.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?
3·2 months agoI feel that “works” is a very broad term. It can work but doesn’t mean that it will perform even or better in a good amount of games compared to Nvidia on Windows or AMD in Linux or Windows. Issues depends on specific games that one plays, one may be playing games that aren’t prone for those issues reported.










This distro has some good track. I hope we start seeing more people using it, and more important more package maintainers, to join the project so we have more applications available. The moss package manager is an interesting idea and I can see that as some sort of an evolution from a post SolusOS era.
