This is because librewolf reports itself as firefox for privacy, and vivaldi does the same thing with chrome. Their is no vivaldi string in their user agent.

Should the ChrisTitus Ultimate Windows Utility be officially recommended on Privacy Guides?

Why Linux is Best for Most People

I put zorin on my parent's computer 2 years ago, while its a great distro, their windows app support is just marketing, its an out of date wine version with an unmaintained launcher. Worse than tinkering with wine yourself.

Llama models tuned for conversation are pretty good at it. ChatGPT also was before getting nerfed a million time.

Any self-hosted speech-to-text / text-to-speech LLM available?
Scrubbles's comment outlined what would likely be the best workflow. Having done something similar myself, here are my recommendations:
In my opinion, the best way to do STT with Whisper is by using Whisper Writer, I use it to write most most messages and texts.
For the LLM part, I recommend Koboldcpp. It's built on top of llama.cpp and has a simple GUI that saves you from looking for the name of each poorly documented llama.cpp launch flag (cli is still available if you prefer). Plus, it offers more sampling options.
If you want a chat frontend for the text generated by the LLM, SillyTavern is a great choice. Despite its poor naming and branding, it's the most feature-rich and extensible frontend. They even have an official extension to integrate TTS.
For the TTS backend, I recommend Alltalk_tts. It provides multiple model options (xttsv2, coqui, T5, ...) and has an okay UI if you need it. It also offers a unified API to use with the different models. If you pick SillyTavern, it can be accessed by their TTS extension. For the models, T5 will give you the best quality but is more resource-hungry. Xtts and coqui will give you decent results and are easier to run.
There are also STS models emerging, like GLM4-V, but I still haven't tried them, so I can't judge the quality.

How to go about getting delisted DLC from Steam?
Are you on windows or linux, if you managed to fond the dlc files, you can most likely(not 100% sure it works with delisted) use creamAPI to make steam think you on them. On windows I've used CreamInstaller, which is a handy GUI that does it for you. I seem to recall I did it on my father computer running ubuntu, but don't recall exactly how.

Revolt tries to be a discord clone/replacement and suffer from some of the same issues. Matrix happens to have a lot of feature in common, but is focused on privacy and security at its core.

I use similar feature on discord quite extensively (custom emote/sticker) and i don't feel they are just a novelty. Allows us to have inside joke / custom reaction to specific event and I really miss it when trying out open source alternatives.

The best way to run a Llama model locally is using Text generation web UI, the model will most likely be quantized to 4/5bit GGML / GPTQ today, which will make it possible to run on a "normal" computer.
Phind might make it accessible on their website soon, but it doesn't seem to be the case yet.
EDIT : Quantized version are available thanks to TheBloke

Being able to run benchmarks doesn't make it is a great experience to use unfortunately. 3/4 of applications don't run or have bugs that the devs don't want to fix.

The training doesn't use csam, 0% chance big tech would use that in their dataset. The models are somewhat able to link concept like red and car, even if it had never seen a red car before.
