  • Firefox browser falls to AI. What do we do now?

  • tell us more about how you didn’t read the article or watch the video

    specifically tell us how you missed ladybird’s developer being a fascist who’s already vibe coding the worthless fucking thing

    actually no, maybe just don’t fucking post here

  • after a decade+ of Mozilla dropping the ball on purpose and violating user consent, thank fuck we’ve got you! somebody needed to pointlessly restate the latter half of the video while carrying water for the millionaire CEO of a nonprofit grift and I certainly as fuck would rather fucking die

  • you've got so much in common with an LLM, since you also seem to be spewing absolute bullshit to an audience that doesn't like you

  • imagine being this dedicated to being fucking mid

    e: correction, rolling over and exposing your belly for generative fucking AI of all things isn’t mid. it’s fucking broken behavior, especially right after similarly unpopular garbage (crypto, metaverses) pushed by the exact same people failed in the market because the target audience mostly just sneered at it and refused to buy in

    like I’m sorry you feel like you’re forced to buy CoD 7 or whatever other AAA games succumb to this shit, but have you considered expanding your tastes past garbage? if you want to say fuck you to Tim in a language he understands, go play a good epic game or a a great epic game for free instead of paying $80 or $200 or whatever the fuck these jokers think it should cost for fucking trash.

  • thanks! I tried to link it in the usual way, but I think a bug might have blanked the url box before I hit post.

  • KeePassXC doubles down on AI use

    Jump

  • like god fucking damn what did keepassxc do that made all these little fuckers pledge allegiance to it? what about this mediocre blog post is convincing? did y’all miss the context that this post is accompanied by a bunch of posts on other official keepassxc accounts where they give incorrect and potentially dangerous information in defense of their use of LLMs?

  • according to the slop coders, their slop isn’t slop? oh do tell!

  • gonna have to start cleaning up some of the posts from the more long-winded assholes with opinions that aren’t more complex than “well I trust them to not let the technology known for creating security vulnerabilities run wild on their codebase, because they made the exact same promises every other project makes when they go all-in on slop”

    for a fucking password manager of all things

    Jump

  • oh no what happened to that thin veneer of reasonable centrism when you were defending a password manager of all fucking things incorporating slop code? could it be you just fucking love slop?

  • hopefully I have a little credibility here.

    LLMs do make decent first-pass code reviewers

    hahahaha nope

  • I saw that! fortunately once iocaine is configured it seems to just work, but it's also very much software that kicks and screams the entire way there. in my case the problem wasn't even nginx-related, I just typoed the config section for the request handler and it silently defaulted to the mode where it returns garbage for every incoming request.

  • nope, you’ve been getting caught in the fallout from us not having this yet. the scrapers have been so intense they’ve been crashing the instance repeatedly.

  • things are happening

    I'm still kicking the tires but if this works then there might be a bit of downtime soon to make sure scrapers see more of this

  • oh wow you’re just like this all the time huh

    no wonder you came in here to scream for a disgusting chicken sandwich incorrect one of my posters about their use of a common English phrase and post yet more LLM apologia barely disguised as critique

  • yeah nah we don’t need this centrist AI booster crap here but thanks anyway

    But from all sides really, also wild to just claim they don’t know what a zero day is and that’s just made up.

    some motherfuckers really see a security vendor claim a zero day can’t be exploited at scale for a local application, ignoring gigantic classes of vulnerability enabled by misconfiguration, combined exploits, or malware, and go “woof, maybe it’s true! they do make my favorite password manager after all, who are you to say they’re wrong” as a bunch of Russians walk off with their bank info

  • you like 80% of the claptrap keepassxc posts? no wonder you came into this kfc asking for a double down. we haven’t even served those since, like, the mid-2010s

    the project’s sudden commitment to code review excellence is the exact same shit every other project pulls when there’s justified backlash in response to a policy that allows, and therefore encourages, slop code. that keepassxc keeps officially posting through it, defending code-oriented LLMs as “generally accurate”, and fucking up and showing that they don’t understand their own threat model, is the double down. I don’t particularly give a fuck that they’ve remained remarkably consistent in their policy of accepting garbage into their codebase, or that their blog’s response to the backlash has been, golly gosh, so measured! if this is how their team conceptualizes risks to a piece of software whose breach would constitute a catastrophic event.
