They declared they have no AI features. The features in Firefox are still AI features. They aren’t needed. They’re a waste of development time and are useless.

I literally say this as someone that has contributed to Firefox.

I use it probably ten times a day!

Lemmy world uses cloudflare. Cloudflare blocks problematic IPs. Someone on that vpn IP has been doing naughty things and so the IP was flagged. Just switch your location in the vpn and try again.

Good opportunity for him to say he doesn’t have the money right now, can she buy him the plane tickets and get himself a nice little free trip to LA. She’ll obviously say no, and boom he’s out of it.

Not a joke, that person tried to take over a Colorado sub from my wife. We both saw exactly what he was doing and refused.

Am I the only one that has noticed the massive increase in buggy software across almost every domain? Like, EVERYTHING has so many more bugs now. Things just break constantly. AI isn’t one shotting fixing bugs, it’s one shotting making hundreds of new ones.

it’s not subversive. it’s a string, it has no effect on the code output. Only a rogue bot would interpret it as anything except a string. No human user would ever encounter an issue.

the amount of people that do not understand how big of an improvement passkeys are is really saddening. They think that somehow these tech companies are utilizing this in some nefarious way, rather than the very very simple explanation that … tech companies don’t want to be responsible for more breaches.

Passkeys are so simple and such a huge improvement that it’s literally all upsides and no downsides. Either you use their passkey managers like you would their password managers and it’s safer for them, or you use your own password manager with passkeys in it and it’s still safer for them.

You have a vast misunderstanding of why passkeys aren’t transferrable or usable outside of those providers. It had nothing to do with lock-in, but because every implementation was different. And no, you do not ‘depend on the site’ to let you use that option instead of a major provider. There’s a standard now and everyone is following it. If you can use a passkey you can use your password manager to manage that passkey.

Not unique to you. Been using Github every day for over 15 years and it wasn’t until I started using Refined Github that it was easy to find the releases page. Horrific design.

Scrapers yes, but the majority of AI bots hitting programming.dev do announce who they are.

I’ve only partially read over you wrote and am heading into the mountains on vacation, but I will try to read over what you’ve written here sometime this weekend.

AI bots will sometimes get stuck requesting the same URL over and over again for no reason. Make sure you check the user agent of the requests.

I did. Didn’t function at all. Had a ton of issues with the sound card and the nvidia graphics driver also shit the bed multiple times and many games didn’t work. Same for mint though.

I mean sure, but you can say the same about any resolution possible. At some microscopic distance on a 42k display you will be able to see the difference. Your scenario here is pretty much “if you use a display in a manner it wasn’t intended then you’ll be able to see the difference in resolution when you compare it to a display that is used in the manner intended”

But that could easily be due to the quality of the projector rather than the resolution. Everyone in here saying they notice differences is completely missing the point. You’d need to compare against the exact same panel type, manufacturer, model year, etc with the exact same manufacturing processes in order to come to this conclusion yourself.

I mean that part makes sense. This is essentially the exact same community. Linux users will spread to any “general” Linux community on the web.

It’s pretty hard to fit all of what you just said into a meme. For example your meme does not say that windows users are “dismissing any alternative out of hand”. It says windows users that refuse to switch. Maybe they hate windows but they literally must use Fusion 360 or AutoDesk or Meshmixer or RealityCapture or one of the numerous other software options that just do not work on windows.

Anyway, if what your meme is actually about is people that only use the browser and then refuse to switch but still constantly complain then yeah you’re dead on.

No I’m talking about complaining about the problems you’re having with Linux not asking for help with anything. It’s literally happened in this exact community here, where people ask what issues people encounter with Linux, and if I (or others) say I have any issues I get downvoted to hell.

Yeah it’s super weird, if you go to a specific forum for help, like cachyos or bazzite, the community is bearable, and sometimes very helpful without being rude. But if you go to a general forum and state you’re having any issues with Linux you’ll be downvoted to hell and told Linux is still better than windows.
