  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

  • Yeah, lemmy is really a hell of an echo chamber on certain topics. I see both pros and cons to AI, and that balanced view makes me literally the most anti-AI person in my social circle.

  • Pornhub saw a 22.4% increase in Linux traffic over 2025

    Jump

  • A percentage increase is a relative increase. The thing you're thinking of would be described as "percentage points".

    Yes, as I pointed out it is technically correct. Just a misleading first impression.

  • Sure! As is currently written, it gives the first impression (to me, at least) that the traffic share of Linux has jumped from x% to (x+22)%. Now I understand that this is subjective, but I believe that's how many people would read it at first glance as well.

    Again, there's nothing technically inaccurate about it, but the 22% number there is imo distracting and tends to lead to misunderstandings. I would personally write it as "Pornhub sees Linux traffic share increase from 5% to 6% (22.4% increase) over 2025"

  • 22.4% of 5% base, so in actuality a 1% increase. While the title is technically accurate, it's very misleading.

  • Roomba maker iRobot swept into bankruptcy

    Jump

  • They were a few hundred million in debt. That's gonna need more than a reorg to handle.

  • Roomba maker iRobot swept into bankruptcy

  • What market share? The article is very explicit that irobot went broke due to competition.

  • How much mileage will it get once my lard ass doubles its weight, though?

  • Social safety nets are very much a regional issue, depending on the country they've actually improved.

    Housing & cost of living is something that affects everybody equally, so it's somewhat weird to bring it up when discussing a particular profession. We're ALL having trouble buying a house.

    Rise of hostile music distribution services... Major studios and music distributors have ALWAYS taken advantage of the power imbalance to shaft musicians. I don't know if it's just before your time, but the idea that they were being paid better in the past is laughable. Musicians having to tour and sell merch so they can pay their bills has been a thing since forever.

  • Source? I remember artists being treated very shittily in the past too, I'm not convinced things have improved / declined significantly for them.

  • There's also some blame to put on consumers. A large portion of the complaint queue is Karens who sap the will to live of any worker who has to deal with them.

  • It's almost as if English doesn't have multiple terms for just about everything.
