Many such cases

Fool me thrice…

That’s banished from polite editorialising for being rude to drivers, cars kill so many we’d ban them from all cities already if the press hasn’t been inventing euphemisms for a century. It sometimes leaks into reporting about this new mode of vehicular terrorism. They’re so objective they can’t yet tell whether it’s a deliberate henious act or just normal car insanity which is treated as a sad but unavoidable fact of life where the car just swerves due to conditions and stuff. Interesting to see in the wild.

P.s. though, with self-driving systems, that title will probably be technically correct again at some point

I didn’t sell your shit, I collected it and shared it to keep myself comercially viable.

It’s just Firefox but you trust some nerds they’ve weeded all of Mozilla out. It comes with ublock origin installed and a simple searchbar homepage. It’s great because Firefox is great and the nerds who added value by stripping bullshit did a good job, but if Putin replaced them with some blyat and pushed an update I’m not sure I’d notice on time.

It doesn’t have to ONLY be inherited for the effect to be present, it’s about 75% inherited, which is quite enough for a scifi premise to stand up better than most scifi plots.

You mean eugenics, but it shouldn’t be an ideological position, reality in this case is that intelligence is actually very inheritable, around three quarters is a summary of decades of research.

It’s not even liberalism, it’s pragmatism. It’s simultaneously giving software as a commons and trying to restrict it, an extension of culture wars that’s so ineffective it gives the other side an easy win once they set up chudwhale as a script that forks the latest codebase but with no blocklist and a pepe mascot. Just time unspooling. I might be depressed.

I fail to see how it’s even possible for an open source project to dictate what content is acceptable. Also, the entire idea is contrary to rms’ FOSS goals (for any purpose), other than being completely ineffective. I can understand the need for agency and contribution to whatever resistance can be mustered, but this is larping.

What are you using now?

We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate,

Fuck off Mozilla. Maybe don’t pay CEOs millions and don’t force things like Pocket and LLMs on users if you want to be commercially viable, I’d gladly pay for Firefox that doesn’t make me dodge new features and services. But it would be a donation towards development of a browser that is commons, since you have no product to sell, only GPL’d code that’s mine as much as yours.

You have NO fucking leverage, Firefox is better than Chrome, but there’s projects that will gladly repackage your code with no telemetry whatsoever for any platform while you’re brainstorming just the right amount of monetization to prevent the frog from jumping.

It’s kind of sad I don’t use Chrome and therefore never think of it, while I like and use Firefox and am therefore constantly at odds with Mozilla.

This is the stupidest shit, moral panic levels of miscomprehension. I mean, I was miffed and promptly removed safetycore because I don’t mind seeing sex organs and don’t want shit using battery for no reason, but wow Forbes.

Edit: ok, the article is not so bad, just the shitty blurb from some forum reproduced here on Lemmy.

Good thing you put a permissive license on that so the whole of humanity can benefit.

It’s really a smart attack that’s not easily countered and since the weapon is an open source license everyone benefits from tech getting into public domain. RL has shown there’s even less of a moat than we thought initially.

If you like RPGs, I highly recommend giving it a try.

At 15€ or less certainly, they can get fucked with 70€.

there’s no reason not to check it out!

I wouldn’t pay Microsoft for a subscription if it was the last way to play games left.

Windows 11 is shit and you’d be much happier with Fedora. You don’t need a nrćew computer, just install it on this one. That said, you can move the start button to the left and even install https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu if you force yourself to try sticking with Windows

My “get fucked” goes to every hosted LLM. If it’s not running on my hardware, I’m not interested. I don’t want it to gaslight me according to someone’s instructions or shill for a product /service (which, you know is coming). The difference is like waiting in line to speak to an expert at the counter vs. having said expert blindfolded and chained in your basement.

That’s not even a novel description of Curtis Yarvin.

there is nothing stopping them

how can they do anything?
