    Brave search does also have AI, but it doesn’t seem annoying, and you have to expand it yourself to see it. It isn’t shoved down your throat.

    Having an AI overview is handy to have around when you actually want it. On Brave it’s just available. Also it doesn’t tend to hallucinate what isn’t supported in the search.

    Maybe Brave is using a summary model and google is using a retro-fitted chat model. So theirs ends up opinionated and wants to share extra facts. But I can only speculate.


  • What we need is a good linux phone that is affordable, has hardware that isn’t slow, and isn’t over sold to an annual pre-order.

    Sadly, if the first two are true, the third one becomes an issue.

    What we need is a large company to see that is a sign of huge pent-up demand. Apparently, HP and Dell are both talking about switching to Linux as their default OS for desktops. Once all the desktop manufacturers find themselves in the business of selling hardware with Linux on it, either mobile manufacturers will copy, like Samsung, or the desktop folks decide to make their product smaller.

    What everyone has wanted from the beginning was a desktop in their pocket. The amount of time that no one has produced that despite major demand, and the amount of development that has gone into building any other stack, just feels like willful suppression at this point.

    Is there some government somewhere telling large-scale manufacturers that they can’t build something as free and open as a desktop that isn’t at least the size of a laptop? Because it actually takes less technology to make something that’s open than something that is closed. And there is just as much appeal for the consumer to not restrict them.
