  • Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox

  • I literally got banned from the “awfulsystems” Lemmy instance for suggesting that Firefox isn't horrible. No exaggeration, there was nothing else to my comment than a polite suggestion that Firefox is pretty good actually.

    If that ban isn't driven by hate, I don't want to see how real hate looks like.

  • This shows how unhinged the whole recent hate on Firefox is. Turning off GenAI is literally one single setting AND Mozilla is doing things infinitely better than others (e.g. the translation feature is completely local, and having a chatbot in the sidebar is opt-in)

  • Me choosing to mention the name and not the photo doesn't make me a clanker.

    That being said, she uses the same photo on her 5 picture Instagram account, which also shows an article she wrote that contains the same photo again!

    So very likely that she isn't a person, but some GenAI driven sock puppet account.

  • You're barking up the wrong tree.

    piss on this guy

    was the assumption that I questioned with my comment. I didn't assume anything myself.

  • That's incorrect because in order to lie, one must know that they're not saying the truth.

    LLMs don't lie, they bullshit.

  • Our AVR (audio video receiver, aka home theater amplifier) can be turned on via home assistant.

    Felt magical the first time I turned it on by clicking a button.

  • The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven't seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)

  • Sorry, I'm not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn't up for debate. As far as I understand, it's a well-settled fact. Read the article!

  • No, there's no center and no edge, the big bang happened everywhere at once. The universe might be finite, but only in the sense that it's looping back on itself, not in the sense that it can possibly be a sphere (which has both center and edge). So your mental model of an explosion in 3D space doesn't fit: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/10/is-the-universe-infinite-new-evidence-challenges-our-cosmic-understanding/

    Metaphors like this at helpful for approaching understanding, but you can't extrapolate from them. There was no 3D space in which the big bang occurred, “nothing” is not the same as “a patch of vacuum in spacetime”. An explosion doesn't start as dimensionless singularity, it starts with the matter that explodes. And so on.

  • Earth is fine, it's seen worse than humanity. Geology doesn't care about what biology does.

  • There's also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.

    Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there's no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.

  • Why do you prefer wasting everyone's bandwidth with the shitty 30 year old JPEG image format when every browser and every actively developed image viewer/editor supports WebP?

    Even lossless WebP is a bit better than PNG, but compared to JPEG, there's just no question.
