As someone who grew up with AC, I was one time in Brazil and got stuck in a place without AC. Needless to say the first few nights was hell. I just couldn't follow asleep. However after few days, my body just adjust to the local temperature, and really enjoyed it. In fact, going into mall with AC just feels too cold for me then. Of course there is a limit to what our body can endure, but there is something to be said about exposing and adapting our body to the natural elements instead of just adjusting the environment to make what is comfortable to our body.

Hmm why is it 186.1MB? Where Search is only 2MB? And blocks ads. Seems like much needed browser that is NOT Chromium based. Seems like DDG team can learn something from the way how Search is built.

The point is NOT older, rather decentralized!

From a efficiency perspective centralized anything seems better at first glance, however decentralized anything just seems more resilient in the long run like nature and/or our universe.

People should always compromise speed for data sovereignty! Who said: that in this digital day and age, information about money is more important than money!

>That these frontier models are so powerful

Maybe powerful might NOT be the right word to describe them, they are just non-deterministic, there for we going to see this kind thing more and more.

With the state of current Android locking down to iOS level of closeness ( https://keepandroidopen.org )

Since my last smart phone broke, I have held out on getting a smart phone for personal use. Sure for doing professional stuff for work, I'll use the work phone, but NOT going to pay my own money to get a surveillance device now.

If you are a business, and the you don't have a web site working, then yeah too bad.

Until Ubuntu Touch or something similar catches up and can run on old smart phone in a reliable way (not having to hunt down ROM like LineageOS ) it will be going back to before 2007 for me. It is more inconvenient sometimes, but life is also better in many ways.
