Am definitely human.

  • Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser"

    Jump

  • At least they're consistent, you gotta give them that much. 😞

    There's also the Ladybird browser that I really, really wanna cheer for. I could easily see it becoming the "saviour" that was Mozilla's role way back when.

  • Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser"

    Jump

  • Mozilla is not financially secure.

    Not while they pay their ever-changing string of CEO's millions and their contributors... wait, do they even still have contributors?

    Says I, who's been using nothing else for decades.

  • You've probably met someone who has killed a person

    Jump

  • ...or someone who killed themselves...

  • What's your favorite font for reading ebooks?

    Jump

  • Since the first time of seeing it on a Mac (Plus, probably), I've been in love with Palatino. It just seems to flow so nicely, and the italic is gorgeous.

    I missed it for many years until I found TeX Gyre Pagella.

  • Never Too Late

    Jump

  • For anyone not familiar with the Firefly show, your comment makes very little sense. So I'd just drop in to help.

    As a little bonus, did you notice that the AA guns in the very first battle scene were Wayland Yutani branded?

  • Mozilla’s 'Rewiring' to AI – Saving the Web or Saving Itself?

    Jump

  • Adding to Vincent's reply, if Firefox truly goes away then we'd be looking to (only) Ladybird to save us.

  • Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

    Jump

  • That is disgusting.

    For what it's worth, I never have less than hundreds of tabs across dozens of windows, and I don't think I've ever pissed in a bottle.

    Also, it's not about bookmarks, I have a ton of those too - many of them with keywords for power querying.

  • TIL: There is an open source "Alexa replacement" project

    Jump

  • I just want to build a little thing on an esp32 or my old raspi 2b that responds to any "Hey Google/Alexa/Siri" with an indifferent "nah, mate". I just haven't gotten around to putting or together yet.

  • What old movies hold up because of a lack of special effects or because clever use of effects?

    Jump

  • And they got disqualified from the Oscars "because they cheated" -- the following year there was a brand new nomination category for computer generated effects...

  • It's a valid question

    Jump

  • When the fuck did you compare? Uh, wording, but whatever.

  • Eternal Damnation

    Jump

  • And "hellpers" on the cover, tee hee.

    Jump

  • That last one is fun. Look at it for long enough and you'll realise it's actually a colour photo.

  • Deep-sea scientists filmed something astonishing and very rarely seen swimming over the seafloor in Chile

    Jump

  • It's not OP's fault that the actual article title is click bait. They were kind enough to give the actual lede.

  • AI companies are growing selfaware by the day!

    Jump

  • They are! They're slanted differently, one is seen from the top, the other from the tip.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • Or battery life. I could care less if the new phone is 0.64mm thinner, spend that volume on extra joules instead.

    Sincerely,those of us who remember pda's with 14- or 25-day battery life.

  • 3D design software for 3d printing?

    Jump

  • Same! I find sketchup so incredibly intuitive compared to the other apps mentioned here, it just vanishes into the background of what I'm creating. Granted, it's got a few quirks running under Linux, and getting an STL file out if it requires a few hoops, but I can do things I can't do otherwise - not that the other apps can't make the shapes, but the parametric paradigm inhibits my creative flow.

  • Get over yourself

    Jump

  • Poodles with guitars, yes. 🤩 There weren't many people looking like that in regular life.

    I don't know if I'm supposed to recognise the "now" dude but he looks like not a celebrity, just someone you'd pass by on a fashionable street.

  • Get over yourself

    Jump

  • That's funny, but it's also misrepresenting. Cross-dressing want really something that men would get away with u-assaulted ... unless you're Freddie Mercu. For how "manly men" were portrayed, look up Don Johnson with skinny ties and shoulder pads.

  • Removed

    The renaissance has ended. Millions must burn at the stake.

    Jump

  • Used to be, people wore boots with heels for functional reasons (to not slip through a saddle's stirrups). Nowadays, posh non-riders wear them to look fancy.

    True in 1627, I guess, true now as well.
