ai slop

might be worth looking into

I’m not sure of anything, I would look into it further were I planning on using it, which I might do in the future, Garuda KDE lite looks like a decent distro.

From the little I have looked into it, it is all meant to be checked, adding an extra layer of protection, as long as your trust the people behind it (much like official I guess)

I only use official and flatpak, I wouldn’t even use flatpak if official had more.

Chaotic aur might be worth looking into if aur is what you want. Everything there is theoretically checked.

if you tweet, I would rather you were on a different internet, or preferably on a different planet.

friends don’t let friends use the AUR

The page is crap on mobile browser with the same ad blocking extension as I use on pc

The page is the issue.

It’s not ads, I don’t get them, haven’t done for years.

The page is fine on pc.

That website is horrible on a phone

I switched to noai.duckduckgo when startpage went ai. It is a lot better than when I tried duckduckgo in previous years, and definitely better than startpage was. I haven’t noticed any issues with search returns.

This looked legit until reading the post title

" The party has been variously characterised as left-wing and right-wing, as well as populist, nationalist and conservative."

“Leaving the EU and NATO were on the table for ÖP. Regarding NATO Allard claimed that Sweden cannot trust or rely on NATO and that the country should instead seek to massively increase its weapons production and also become a major arms exporter, arguing it would benefit the Swedish economy”

"The party advocates for remigration policies, strong secularism, and assimilationist policies such as immediate closure of the Islamic charter schools.[70][71][72] Markus Allard initiated heavy debate in 2025 by claiming that Sweden is “the land for/belongs to the Swedes”

They also want to remove fuel taxation, they are pro nuclear, and are anti wind turbine.

Yes of course it is a problem when the usa, france, russia etc do it, it obviously makes them evil countries. Weapons exist to kill.

The usa is responsible for approximately 42% of the global arms market. 1 country, 42%, clearly not the good guys.

As mentioned in the last line of my comment that you replied to.

I’m sure you can hand select passages about hitler that also suit your stance while making him seem like kermit the frog.

Since when are weapons not a problem?

One of the co-founders/co-ceo’s almost single handedly funded a racist political party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Örebro_Party that wants Sweden to manufacture weapons.

The other co-founder/co-ceo stated he did not agree with it, but also doesn’t really care because ‘free speech’

Mullvad stated that users who were not happy could apply for refunds. some have, some haven’t.

Lemmy, and other social media platforms have multiple threads about this, including very obviously biased threads designed to mislead people into believing it was the company who made the donation, or that there is only one ceo.

Paying mullvad does equal funding that political party.

nice cop out there, perhaps you should join the mullvad marketing team

An email and vpn provider promoting themselves as privacy conscious, and then developing ai should set off alarm bells. I was previously a customer of proton (email and vpn), you don’t have to pay attention to their products, social media, and customer service for long to realise that marketing is their strong point. Purple-washing may become a term for faux privacy companies in future.

“Given that many of us use Proton services and are privacy conscious” ~ oxymoron
