I switched from chatgpt pro to lechat and have been using lechat for several weeks now.
It's so bad comparitively that I am considering to just not use AI anymore.
I used chatgpt daily many times and minstral le chat is just.... Incapable of understanding contextual things. It has still a long way to go before it can really compete, sadly.
It's so bad comparitively that I am considering to just not use AI anymore.
This is the way.
i barely use AI anyway, so to me Le Chat is just as good :3
I found this too and looked if there is something I could do to use chatgpt anonymous. I figured that might be better than continuing to use them in cases I expect le chat to be subpar. DuckDuckGo has an interface for this, although i haven't figured out much 'better' of a solution this is. You can go to http://duck.ai/ chat anonymous with:
According to DuckDuckGo (which is also US-based) your chat will not be used as training data. If someone here has more knowledge please provide it because I'm just not sure if this is much better than using ChatGPT directly except that openai doesn't get to build a user profile of me.
Signal was made in the US and paid for with US funding though?
Decent list, but I'd recommend Threema instead of Signal
doesnt that cost money?
Nothing is for free. If not with money, youre probably paying with data
EDIT I misunderstood the post, this is what you're using, not what you're recommending, sorry about that!
I will still include my original comment below.
Still, I use and can recommend XMPP and the provider magicbroccoli.de! Arne the admin is also a swell guy!
Bold move recommending US Signal over European Telegram!
I'd personally trust neither very much; one's US funded and the other clearly not as secure outside โsecret chatsโ.
But what about Threema? Or a European XMPP provider like the excellent magicbroccoli.de?
magicbroccoli.de
Tell me you're for weed dealers without telling me you're for weed dealers xD
any reason for XMPP over Matrix?
Hm fair point!
XMPP is focused on personal chats, calls and group chats. It's a better drop-in replacement for Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.
Matrix is great too, although it's focused on channel-based, administrated chat rooms. It's got a higher barrier of entry but is an excellent replacement for Discord, Teams and Slack for managing companies and other organised groups.
They fill in different use cases and are both excellent decentralised services with the possibility to avoid non-European digital services!
Bol doesn't seem to ship to germany :(
no, only to belgium and netherlands unfortunatly :/
into the trash it goes
Isnt startpage american?
no :D
Seems startpage is partly owned by Americans (system1). Seems they own even more than 50%. So how can you say its eu search website?
i didnt know.. its so hard to find a good search engine thats also european๐ญ
I've had good results with Qwant so far, been using it for some months now.
