Thanks for the detailed answer. This is a lot to take in for someone who never paid attention on how I wear my clothes lol. I’ll try to break it down and start slowly.

Damn it we need Private-R1 now

I used to use perplexity until that news came in about it being a front runner to help companies replace workers who went on a strike demanding better work conditions. (Or something along those lines, I only remember the details sparingly)

I have used Duck AI and Brave AI to replace it.

AI service by Duckduckgo which offers anonymous access to popular AI models like Chatgpt, Claude, Mixtral, Llama.

How is Duck AI then when it comes to privacy? I use it a lot.

They shake your fist anyway

I’m the same except I don’t have productive hobbies like you. I refuse to do things which are popular. Not all but most things. I don’t refuse them because they’re popular but when I feel they’re popular for no reason.

I refuse to use Instagram, tiktok because they have no reason for me. I don’t posts pics or videos of mine on the internet and content there is largely trash. But I use YouTube.

I refuse to watch mainstream movies and series because for some reason I don’t like watching humans act. But I watch anime.

I like time with my family. I just don’t want it to be extravagant.

Being on keyboard doesn’t me I shut myself from all social interactions.

Gemini is really far behind. For me it’s Chatgpt > Llama >> Gemini. I haven’t tried Claude since they require mobile number to use it.

Great message my friend.

Why can’t they be a website than an app for Dekstop?

Also understood that they’re not open-source but are they privacy-respecting?

Edit: Went through their privacy policy and seems they’re privacy-focused. I will be trying their app now.

Nah man it’s fine. The joke’s popular and I am sure they didn’t mean it. Thanks though.

Nope I am not that open irl

I actually wanted make a joke on that in the post itself lol.

Oh no…

Gemini would be only a system app right? Then I should be able to disable it too right? This is something Google app on your device already does I believe.

I would never pay to a service that is privacy intrusive.

Damn here I thought everyone gets to have only 24hrs a day.

CODM and PUBGM do exist

But OP did really meant that people who can’t use PCs are braindead idoits, which is very harsh. People who are using PCs at their workplace for the first time or have learnt using Windows for the sake of getting a job do be very cautious like that. They only used them in constricted way and never got to play around with it. You can never learn how a device works without playing around with it imo. Just because you had more experience with PCs doesn’t mean you have right to call who are inexperienced brain-dead idoits.
