It’s true though. Saying this is not necessarily meant to be the end of a discussion.

They want to sell thinner phones, but the optics needs some room to be useful, so it shows. The little range they can get with keeping that much width do a lot for image quality.
We had IoT, Web3, and now AI. Part of it seems linked to very good salespeople pushing it onto other salespeople.
For the first two, we’ve seen business spinup quickly and have very aggressive arguments, backed by cash, pushed onto existing business as “the solution to everything”. Only to burn down later as a gimmick nobody really cares beyond a handful of niche applications.
So far with AI there’s a handful of “big name” business that pushes it as the ultimate solution for everything and are injecting ton of cash in that discourse. We just have to wait a bit if the last part of that happens. After that we’ll go back to normal until the next “big thing” gets propped up.
reCAPTCHA v2 visual challenge images are all pre-labeled and user input plays no role in image labeling
That’s funny, because when I’m faced with this, I keep adding/removing one of the image randomly and it keeps accepting them as ok.
Expecting politics to be all bangs is part of the problem of modern politics.
From the outside it really seems that a large amount of the USA administration is actively working against the USA’s interests. Which sounds weird.
Lots of changes. Not much on the outside, but fix breakable/broken stuff, be more efficient, this kind of things. Not having to worry about your own body betraying you seems like a good idea.
Well, his “followers” where already convinced to vote for him, and he’s so far out that people that did not follow him already actually have enough brain to not equate “assassination attempt” with “he’s a hero”, so there’s that.
Sometimes I just get tired of having to fight against software to have it behave in a semi-decent way. The same way you technically “can” run a decent windows installation after removing/disabling/blocking a ton of stuff, I don’t really want a browser that can be trusted after you had to tinker with dozens of settings to just get back to basic non-intrusive behavior.
I said this in another thread on the same topic somewhere else, but considering user tracking as an inevitability that we have to accept means we’ve already lost on that front.
No one believed that it could work except some japanese guy
There is a difference in not knowing how to do a thing and someone coming out doing the thing, and knowing how something works, knowing it’s by design limitations, and still hoping it may work out.
Not with the current tech. It can go faster, have more detailed output, maybe consume less too, but there seems to be a ceiling on what LLM and their derivative can do. There has been no improvement in that regard, and people that look into it are pretty confident that it won’t happen at this point.
Well I heard about a guy that told the collective advertisres of the platform to “go fuck themselves”, maybe this guy should be investigated.
I’m just finding no confirmation that they send them unencrypted over the Internet
Even if they were sending them with proper E2EE to their server, that would still be a huge fucking problem.
I’d argue it’s a bit worse than PXE booting, since they talk about having the actual bootloader on a USB stick, whereas the same thing could have been done by having the boot process remote too.
This was not a vote for leadership. It was a vote for one of our houses. Unless the president decides to play nice (spoiler: he won’t), we won’t have a prime minister from any left party, causing things to be difficult for the right but not impossible, as there are provision to force some laws to pass for the prime minister, and outright impossible for the left to do anything because they’re unlikely to get support from a right-oriented prime minister, and are unlikely to get an actual majority vote on anything.
Basically, unless something really unexpected happens, this will result in a stalemate for a while. Which is, admittedly, the lesser of two evils, but kinda sucks anyway.
as Electron has no integration with the rest of the system,
You pretty much can use Electron to build an application and use native OS-specific features. It only requires thinking about it and a bit of work, but technically isn’t much harder to do than with anything else. And there are some things useful in windows for that, based on user login credentials.
But ultimately, if the developers didn’t care about doing that, it won’t happen, regardless of them using Electron or writing fully native apps.
This is not a subreddit, and this is the original article’s title.
Firefox has a tendency to embed optional extensions as impossible to uninstall core features these days, so it would not change much.
Firefox has always had our backs
It’s been going in a less friendly direction for a while. Embedding of mandatory useless extensions, aggressive advertising, deals to display more and more content to more users, disregard for user settings on multiple updates, opt-out telemetry, and now telling you that you’re using it wrong.
Sure, you can navigate through various settings to disable most of these, and check back on updates for settings that toggles back, or are simply renamed and mysteriously got back to their default, intrusive value. But we should not have to do that.
And that’s not even touching the issue with the Mozilla Corporation itself.
Firefox is the alternative browser, but it certainly isn’t there to “have your back”.
Because saying things, even if they are known, is a thing humans do for various reasons. It seems that sometimes they need to be reminded simple truth.
