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

    Jump

  • do we need them wasting resources on superfluous chatbots, when i can already get many already good and estabilished options elsewhere whenever i want to use them?

    not everything needs this overestimated tool shoehorned in, regardless of whether or not people like to use it in any of its forms, and mozilla is not in a position where they can just waste time and resources like this because ai hype.

  • i get the sentiment, and i hate their pampered out of touch ceos too, but their offline llm translation or whatever is actually sick.

  • sad truth. google probably maintains one in a good enough state to sell us ads and sell our data (and all of the perks of owning an effective monopoly), that's where the real money is on the internet now sadly.

  • Government retreats on Victims of Communism memorial names in aftermath of Nazi controversy

    Jump

  • so if i understood this correctly there will still be a monument commemorating the nazi "victims".... except their names won't be on it?

    whitewashing nazis to be anticommunist should not surprise me anymore by this point but still.

  • Do you think Chinese companies will pick up the slack when it comes to consumer RAM and SSDs?

    Jump

  • don't worry, they will block china off their market to try and prop up their crumbling industry.

    Jump

  • more broadly than ram, from what i've been reading, they are already gearing up to do just that. semiconductors are one of the few industries they are behind on and it wouldn't even be wise to depend on their rivals for their computing.

    whether or not they will be able to pull it off before the couple of years it would take for western manufacturers to meet demand, or the ai bubble to burst is anyone's guess, but i don't think so.

    a bit of speculation but i don't think they would hate to be the gatekeepers of rented cloud computing to recoup costs after ai busts either so who knows, maybe we do need china to come sooner rather than later and flood the market with cheap computer chips.

    stealing intellectual property from billion dollar corporations to be morally neutral

    i consider it to be beautiful and commendably moral to steal back what they basically made us do for money/survival then claimed as their secrets only they can profit from, causing the whole predicament we are in in the first place.

  • Secret Documents Show Pepsi and Walmart Colluded to Raise Food Prices Across the Economy

    Jump

  • my problem with taxing the rich, is that you don't eliminate them as the puppet masters of the show. the us itself used to tax the rich an absurd amount but ended up exactly where they were before all over again. it is a stepping stone i wouldn't mind, but has to be accompanied by a departure from capitalism to be truly effective.

    the assumption people won't produce anything of value without financial incentive is incorrect too. humans did just that for thousands of years before the invention of financial systems, and do this now even as cost of living and lack of free time pressures mount. (eg. the open source community)

  • What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?

    Jump

  • ctrl+r on bash will let you quickly search and execute previous commands by typing the first few characters usually.

    it's much more of a game changer than it first meets the eye.

  • being surveilled is always bad. difference being one of them are constantly starting conflicts and meddling with foreign elections, the other haven't been at war for decades.

  • Secret Documents Show Pepsi and Walmart Colluded to Raise Food Prices Across the Economy

    Jump

  • the inflation thing is honestly just a smokescreen for the rich taking more and more from us, and writing it off as a "normal thing of the economy in these trying times". which to be fair it is, its just that it has accelerated in the post-pandemic world are people are noticing it more.

  • Why did you move from Windows to Linux?

    Jump

  • told this story before but windows 10 force rebooted overnight after spending hours fucking with it so it doesn't, while still being able to update manually.

    lost me quite a bunch of work that was rendering in the background and the important deadline. lost the will to further put up with microsoft.

    if it were just a couple of people and just trump. this would not be an issue. it goes way deeper.
