Big Tech is getting more and more involved in politics. During the last US election, Crypto bros spent more than $100 million on the election, which got some of them out of jail. Now Big Tech is active again, this time with focus on AI, as reported in this Washington Post article. It is time to take a stand against companies that behave this way. #politics #AI #elections #technology #crypto #Browser #Linux https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/12/19/tech-super-pacs-midterms-ai/
The focus for us at @npub19rt0...adh9 has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like: - Work spaces and tab stacks - Tab tiling - Mouse gestures - Customizable keyboard shortcuts - Tracker and ad blocker - Panels and Web panels - Cross platform, encrypted sync function - Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials - Customizable dashboard - Massive customization options in general. - Notes functionality We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser - Mail client . Calendar - Feed reader - Proton VPN integration Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well. On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like: - Blockchain / Crypto currencies - AI You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive. We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you? #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #ios #Browser #Vivaldi #AI #Technology #Computing

You understand that Big Tech is getting too powerful when they try to undermine governments that regulate them. Elon Musk has been pushing for countries to leave the EU due to regulation and associated fines. Meta has been behaving in a similar way. Are you not happy that you are here? #AI #X #Twitter #ElonMusk #meta #facebook #socialMedia #fediverse #mastodon #vivaldi #EU

X deactivates European Commission’s ad account after the company was fined €120M | TechCrunch
X has seemingly penalized the European Commission's account after the commission fined the company over blue checkmarks and ad transparency.
Why is Big Tech so afraid of AI regulation? Big Tech continues to push for no AI regulation and it is having an impact. They want us to forget the damage done by the lack of regulation of user profiling. Instead they argue that regulating user profiling and AI would be a disaster. Clearly they are having some success with this strategy. Hopefully regulators will fight back, but in the meantime, you have a choice when it comes to OS and browsers. Choose the one that does not force AI on you. #AI #politics #technology #browser #vivaldi #windows #macos #linux
Elkjøp, likely the largest Norwegian based electronics store, is now running ads for Copilot where they speak about how great Recall is. Likely the ad is paid for by Microsoft. They show the picture below and they talk of how great it is that the machine remembers everything you have done with it (and has the pictures to prove it!). I guess when you make something that most people do not want, you just push it harder. Remember that you have a choice to move away from Big Tech. #microsoft #windows #Linux #vivaldi #technology #AI #computing #bigTech image
It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @npub19rt0...adh9 If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human | Vivaldi Browser
Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose ...

If you wanted another reason to dislike crypto currencies and AI, here you go. Not only do we have to deal with more scams, more slop, less privacy and a warmer planet, but we also have to pay for it through our electrical bills. Of course this is obvious. More demand for power means higher prices and crypto and AI uses a lot of power. https://www.forbes.com/sites/current-climate/2025/11/17/data-centers-crypto-mining-to-push-electricity-costs-higher-in-2026/ #Crypto #AI #Technology #Electricity #Politics
At @npub19rt0...adh9 we tend to take a stand when it comes to technologies that are in use in our industry. We have been clear from the start that we believe crypto currencies have no place in this world. Nothing that has happened during these last few years has changed our minds. Rather the opposite. What is your take?
