Been called an idiot for saying that I wouldn’t trust Firefox as far as I can throw it like 2 months ago after they made telemetry opt out.

I can’t believe that someone who is privacy conscientious would just stick to their guns rather than watching out for their privacy.

I just hope someone else picks up the shards and runs with it and then we can all just focus on making them better instead of getting riled up over a god damn browser lol.

POV: you are sitting in a comment section right before all of the arch enthusiasts start proudly proclaiming their allegiance. You know it’s calm for the moment, but the storm is most certainly scheduled.

Yeah the perfect amount of stupid where you actually wanna try to get good at the game. It’s awesome.

“rehydrate your energy” lol

This might be a wild take but people always make AI out to be way more primitive than it is.

Yes, in it’s most basic for an LLM can be described as an auto-complete for conversations. But let’s be real: the amount of different optimizations and adjustments made before and after the fact is pretty complex, and the way the AI works is pretty close already to a brain. Hell that’s where we started out; emulating a brain. And you can look into this, the base for AI is usually neural networks, which learn to give specific parts of an input a specific amount of weight when generating the output. And when the output is not what we want, the AI slowly adjusts those weights to get closer.

Our brain works the same in it’s most basic form. We use electric signals and we think associative patterns. When an electric signal enters one node, this node is connected via stronger or lighter bridges to different nodes, forming our associations. Those bridges is exactly what we emulate when we use nodes with weighted connectors in artificial neural networks.

Our AI output is quality wise right now pretty good, but integrity and security wise pretty bad (hallucinations, not following prompts, etc.), but saying it is performing at the level of a three year old is simultaneously under-selling and overselling how AI performs. We should be aware that just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s good, but it also doesn’t mean it’s bad either. It just means there’s a feature (which is hopefully optional) and then we can decide if it’s helpful or not.

I do music production and I need cover art. As a student, I can’t afford commissioning good artworks every now and then, so AI is the way to go and it’s been nailing it.

As a software developer, I’ve come to appreciate that after about 2y of bad code completion AIs, there’s finally one that is a net positive for me.

AI is just like anything else, it’s a tool that brings change. How that change manifests depends on us as a collective. Let’s punish bad AI, dangerous AI or similar (copilot, Tesla self driving, etc.) and let’s promote good AI (Gmail text completion, chatgpt, code completion, image generators) and let’s also realize that the best things we can get out of AI will not hit the ceiling of human products for a while. But if it costs too much, or you need quick pointers, at least you know where to start.

Admirable

I wanna punch racists and Nazis so bad.

Why the fuck do you think you’re better or worse depending on your skin color or ethnic background?

This is basic biology, how you are is almost completely disconnected from what you look like.

I’m so sorry for all that stuff. Hope you found a way to deal with it.

Basically by letting it linger in your mind and then when you make a song you remember certain things about it and some of those things you try out.

Now legally it gets complicated, but it always comes down to how close you are to the original.

Because on Netflix what you’re skipping is something you expect and maybe even want to see. On YouTube it’s ads, which you don’t necessarily expect nor want to see. And the skip button is just associated with that.

Also, on YouTube you sometimes have to skip multiple consecutive ads, sometimes you have to wait for a few seconds, and sometimes you can’t skip them at all. It’s not made to be practical, it’s made to serve you as much ad-time as possible, as that is the bread and butter for YouTube (contrary to popular belief they don’t make a lot of money, so it makes sense. Although I’m not sure I like they way they try to make money to stay in business).

They do but the amount of information is way smaller for the others. With your search engine of choice you’ll find the posts though if there are any.

Played it on PC and it’s really cool, although I was hesitant at first considering it looks a bit like those cookie cutter role based rpgs that just want to rent a spot in your wallet.

Yeah honestly this makes a lot of sense to me.

Reading the comments on this makes me realize how often we think about animals, considering we apparently have thousands of different ways to categorize them, even if it’s more by vibe than anything else…

Their lawyers are vocally rubbing their hands rn

Right after Ubisoft added an offline mode for the crew 2 iirc

Your first paragraph makes a lot of sense to me.

The second paragraph I have a very different opinion on, because there’s a difference between patterns of abuse and having to deal with a shitty situation a few times. And although there’s people who don’t take any shit and will fit you for small inconveniences, there’s also a lot of people who have learned to endure almost every situation for way too long.

My mom has been working overtime for years and I’m scared she’ll get overwhelmed eventually. Every one of our band mates got bullied in school and just endured it. A school friend told me he was the black sheep in an Asian family and he just had accept it. I’m sure he’s way past his limit but he’ll still try with them. A friend of mine has a dad with narcissistic tendencies and a mom with major health issues and an aunt who almost killed her multiple times intentionally already. I tend to not speak up because sometimes I get it wrong and it fucks me up in major ways.

As you can see I know a lot of people who wait way too long until they change things, and if they spike up a bit more, they could be holding a successful job and maybe even keep their sanity. Goes to show that everyone is different and every social dynamic is unique.

One of the bigger cities in Germany.

We have a mayor for our district, who is basically a blank slate to 95% of people. It doesn’t help that he lives together with his family in a different district. He is a member of one of our political parties and specifically one I don’t particularly like.

For some reason I was in the same school class with his son, who was pretty chill, but got very annoying when it came to politics (of course).

So basically the mayor does a lot of city management stuff but the average person has no clue who he is or what exactly he does.

I would imagine that’s very unique compared to most other countries but I’m not sure.

Yeah the other comment is kinda rude but I genuinely wanna know

I guess it is very interesting to think about that analogy, cause I never fully thought about that.

The camel was miserable before.

Which means the camel tried to last through it until it broke the camel’s metaphorical back. Which I guess also tells me that if someone says that to me, they are saying someone suffered through something way too long until they finally reacted. I never really thought about it as a hint that you didn’t have to bear something, you could have spoken up earlier already.

This explanation might be too detailed but I just realized that so maybe this is interesting to someone else.

Hopefully this makes some of the Firefox shills finally realize it’s time to change our recommendations.

I’ve heard so much shit lately about Firefox, it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.
