Floorp misses the mark for me. Waterfox and librewolf seem to be a better fit for most people.

Always celebrate more options, though. I hope ladybird does well and doesn’t shit the bed the moment it gets some market share.

These days I’m tempted to just write myself a super minimal front end to Servo though because I don’t want 90% of what modern browsers ship with.

What a dumb world we live in where this has to be an argument. These women are athletes; let them dress like it.

So, like, are you just not capable of building an argument not built on strawman hyperbole?

I’ll have to look at this when I get a chance, but my understanding of these products is that a “custom model” isn’t from scratch using only your data, but that they add your data to a core model that has already been trained to behave in certain ways… using data that isn’t yours.

“All genAI bad” is a nuanced take. When you look at genAI from a moral, ethical, or sociopolitical perspective it always demonstrates itself to be a net evil.

The core technology is predicated on theft, the data centers powering it are harmful economically and to surrounding communities, it is gobbled up by companies looking to pay less to profit more, and it’s powered by a bubble ripe for bursting which will wreak havoc on our economy.

GenAI is indefensible as a technology, and the applications it may have for any tangible benefit can probably be accomplished by ML systems not built on the back of the LLM monster. We should all be protesting its use in all things.

It’s hard to use just “active users” to project anything. They define an “active user” as someone who has commented or posted in the last month, so it is a number that discounts lurkers and treats bursts of news-heavy activity like a surge of signups.

I haven’t seen any actual numbers that define how many people actually migrated, but I have seen a lot of speculation and feelings on how many it might be.

I’d advise against assuming anything here without hard numbers to back it up.

I have considered this, as the only reason anyone would willingly eat celery.

You may want to look into specialist counseling. Tinnitus can’t be cured but there are definitely techniques to help you ignore the symptoms and focus elsewhere so they fall into the background.

I feel that you’ve severely misrepresented or misunderstood why people don’t show up to things. Assuming that they’re just addicted to instagram or whatever is such a crappy take.

Most adults are tired. They’re under paid, over worked, over stressed, and just plain worn down. The weight of a world designed to crush them has done its job very well.

People don’t show up because they’re depressed and stuck in a hole they don’t know how to get out of.

These posters should be illegal.

3 mostly solved this, it was way more reasonable. 2 was a great game with fantastic voice acting that was really diminished by the character models.

It’s frustrating that a small number of really good franchises are locked into the Nintendo bullshit business model.

Xenoblade Chronicles, Zelda, Mario, and a couple of other series running on Steam Deck without the emulation nonsense would make me tremendously happy.

Well, there was the inclusion of the Brave and Yandex indexes which ruffled some feathers for sure, but I personally lost faith in Vlad as decent human when they outright refused to add a widget linking to suicide prevention resources to searches regarding suicide because they would introduce “moral bias”.

Adding a widget for suicide prevention hotline on top of ‘how to kill yourself’ result would be manifestation of one such bias - in this case moral - meaning, human interference into search results for moral reasons.

The reasons are many, but the main one is to ensure we provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year.

From the company that brings you the same fucking game year over year, with paid dlc to get the same maps from old games again.

Is this like… real? Seems like it’s coming out of left field.

Same. Questionable leadership but a very solid platform.

Yeah, that’s the one.

It’s good that someone finally invented a way to move cars around. Can’t think of any other way you’d get them from point a to point b.

This entire thread is giving me the “oh come on”s.
