They have the budgets, and connections, to market that theirs is safe, and open source with ai is hackers, witches, and communists.

“big company”, big media, and big government are likely to try to use that as a reason to try to control open source, or at least manipulate what people think of it.

“I made this” is a warning sign now

It’s wednesday night here, seems a decent enough time

fuck russia though

If you really, really need to go down the wrong path, vivaldi is most likely the best choice
