Are you using a custom browser theme, or rocking the default look?
@Clygro because #Apple says "My way or the highway!" in terms of #design and #customization!
Or just use you AI locally
I completely understand the concerns about relying too heavily on AI, especially cloud-based, centralized models like ChatGPT. The issues of privacy, energy consumption, and the potential for misuse are very real and valid. However, I believe there's a middle ground that allows us to benefit from the advantages of AI without compromising our values or autonomy.
Instead of rejecting AI outright, we can opt for open-source models that run on local hardware. I've been using local language models (LLMs) on my own hardware. This approach offers several benefits:
- Privacy - By running models locally, we can ensure that our data stays within our control and isn't sent to third-party servers.
- Transparency - Open-source models allow us to understand how the AI works, making it easier to identify and correct biases or errors.
- Customization - Local models can be tailored to our specific needs, whether it's for accessibility, learning, or creative projects.
- Energy Efficiency - Local processing can be more energy-efficient than relying on large, centralized data centers.
- Empowerment - Using AI as a tool to augment our own abilities, rather than replacing them, can help us learn and grow. It's about leveraging technology to enhance our human potential, not diminish it.
For example, I use local LLMs for tasks like proofreading, transcribing audio, and even generating image descriptions. Instead of ChatGPT and Grok, I utilize Jan.ai with Mistral, Llama, OpenCoder, Qwen3, R1, WhisperAI, and Piper. These tools help me be more productive and creative, but they don't replace my own thinking or decision-making.
It's also crucial to advocate for policies and practices that ensure AI is used ethically and responsibly. This includes pushing back against government overreach and corporate misuse, as well as supporting initiatives that promote open-source and accessible technologies.
In conclusion, while it's important to be critical of AI and its potential downsides, I believe that a balanced, thoughtful approach can allow us to harness its benefits without sacrificing our values. Let's choose to be informed, engaged, and proactive in shaping the future of AI.

My current desktop for May/June 2025. Curious about the setup? Feel free to ask questions and comment!
It’s Friday. Skip the meeting. Make your browser look cooler instead.
i've already tried a skeuomorphic style for my desktop, so it was time to go to the other, minimalist end

#PewDiePie has embraced #Arch #Linux, sharing his #setup on #Instagram with the caption, "Had to be done."
He made the switch to enjoy greater #customization and #control over his #tech #experience.
This move has excited the Linux community, with many speculating that his influence could lead to a #boost in the platform's popularity among his followers.
No two users are the same. Vivaldi gives you the freedom to make your browser truly yours.
Vivaldi’s like the person who customizes their phone homescreen to match the season.

Look back on the themes you’ve given a rating to.
On the Vivaldi Themes page on vivaldi.net, you can download browser themes created and shared by the members of the Vivaldi Community. If you’re logged in to your Vivaldi account, you can also give it a rating on a 5-star scale after installing the theme.
To view all themes you’ve rated:

Bring back the Home button when moving the Address Bar to the bottom in Vivaldi on Android.
When you move the Address and Tab Bars to the bottom edge of the screen, the Navigation Bar, together with some useful buttons, will be hidden. For example, the one taking you back to the Start Page. Luckily, there’s a setting in Vivaldi on Android that you can toggle to bring it back.
To add a Home button to the Address Bar:
If you want to open a website instead of the Start Page when tapping on the Home button (and New Tab button), go to Settings > General > Homepage to set the web page link.

People use Vivaldi differently. Some build elegant workflows. Some just change the theme 14 times.
Tip #689
Hide seldom used buttons on Vivaldi’s Start Page on your mobile for a cleaner look.
While customizing the appearance of the Start Page is fun, you probably don’t do it very often. The same goes for manually adding new Speed Dial bookmarks. If that’s the case, feel free to hide one or both of the buttons in Vivaldi on Android and iOS and use alternative routes on occasions you do need to access these features.
To hide the buttons from the Start Page:
When these buttons have been hidden, tap on the 3 dot menu in the top right corner of the Start Page and select “Customize Start Page” to access customization settings. To add new Speed Dial bookmarks, select the right Speed Dial folder when adding an open web page as a bookmark or add one manually in the Bookmarks Panel.

Choose between a playfully dynamic or a fixed accent color for your browser theme.
Do you prefer your browser theme’s accent color to reflect the website you’re on or do you want it to stay the same no matter which site you’re on?
