OpenAI admitted that it can be confusing for users to choose between all the different models, but the company has quietly published a document that makes it easier to understand ChatGPT.

I can't use Firefox because of AI and privacy not the default anymore.
I can't use LibreWolf because it's based on Firefox and lots of default values are broken.
I can't use Chromium because it's mainly controlled by Google.
I can't use Brave because it's just a cryptocurrency browser and crypto doesn't have to be there.
I can't use Vivaldi because it's not free software and it's also based on Chromium.

What can I use?

GNU IceCat (aka Ice Weasel) like in 2000s?

Panel 2: (Everyone looking at penguin) "Do you have a moment to talk about Linux?"

The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are one hell of a special place!

Looking out from a ride towards a glacial lake and jagged mountains. The light is dappled on the lake and fog partially obscures the peaks.

Loch Shiel from Glenfinnan in Lochaber, Scotland.

Sunset over the Lochaber Hills in the Western Highlands. In the foreground an island covered in Scots Pine trees, with snow dusted peaks in the distance.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

Downloaded #OSMand today, we'll see how that works locally.
Although government institutions here use Open Maps, so I think it'll be fine, already discovered much more detailed trail maps than Google (wish I'd known that before) and I can pre-map a route with it, like #MapmyRun and save the #GPX file to my phone, then export to my watch...so that's really handy, but best of all the Gulf of Mexico is, and always will be the Gulf of Mexico!
