- Safari use less CPU power than Firefox, chrome being the worst of them all.
It's even more obvious when watching video where safari will be 5 to 10 points lower than Firefox.
Harder to say when it's rendering page but the fact of the matter is that I tried both for years, Firefox always drain the battery faster.
- > people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
> Second: our business model must align with trust. We will grow through transparent monetization that people recognize and value.
> Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.
I like what the interim CEO was doing, focusing more on the browser and forgetting these side projects that leads to nowhere, but it seems it's back to business with this one.
- Does it matter ?
No really, I'm not trying to be edgy. Does the font we're using to read a document matters??
Last time I checked, scientist agreed that the best for an average user is the font you're used to. Serif, sans serif,.. didn't matter. Just keep using the one you always used.
So I don't get why every so often, Google work on a new font. Pick one and stick to it, user don't care.
Or am I missing something ?
BTW, personnel opinion but the only fonts i found to really look better than anything else were apple fonts. They don't make things easier to read but they just look so nice whereas Google always feel meh.
- > I have a feeling that the long-term economics of this don't really work. OpenAI is burning money and Altman has already gone out in public saying how Sora-generated content is being made in large volumes for little audience.
Let me introduce you to ponze scheme. He is feeding the hype, that's all that matters right now. More and more cash... The only real winner will be Nvidia when the bubble explode.
- > Sure, in America millions will die or be bankrupted by healthcare costs every year, but that's better than spending a single $ from your own wallet if even a tiny fraction of it might help pay for someone else's medications right?
I do believe your question is false, we don't spend a tiny amount of our money on healthcare.
Around 20% of our revenue, in France, goes to the universal healthcare.
And yes, I would rather manage that money myself because I believe I am better at doing so that my government. Isn't that one the core beliefs of Americans ?
The issue is that there must an actual free market, enforced by government, and not some kind of oligarchy where drug price are kept artificially high amongst reseller.
- I just checked insulin price in France, we have SANOFI 100 UI/ml 15ML for the price of 20€.
How is it possible to have 300$ Vial ? Sanofi ain't exactly a charity and they are doing extremely well financially, 300$ is obscene. If they sell it at 300$, there must be people buying it. Who are they ?
- When I say market, I'm referring to economic and more specifically to health market.
- > It's virtually impossible to find out how much a medical procedure actually costs. Most hospitals and clinics refuse to even estimate as a policy, which has led to the creation of things like pre-paid services for labor and delivery. Those are quite rare.
That's absolutely incredible. Yeah if you can't even get a pricing,i don't see how you could make any decision whatsoever.
- in some part of europe, we have national healthcare so basically people don't think they are paying their medications, like there was some magic money.
in that case, you don't care if you drug cost 10€ or 2000€ because you aren't spending a single € from your own wallet, at least if you don't factor in taxes.
Contrary to the USA where it's a much more responsible market, people do pay for the medications or they get it paid by their own insurance but it cost them directly a lot of money.
I would think that americans would be much more vigilant about what medication they take, the price it cost, and so would have much lower pricing. That's just how free market work, and technically there are many medication manufacturer and many customer.
Is it the proof that a true unregulated free market doesn't work ? if left unsupervised, big companies are going to buy smaller companies until they are monopoly or make secret, behind the door, deal to keep price up.
It's what the USA is made on, the idea of freedom and free market. i believe the idea of unregulated market is more recent, think the 70's, but surely in the 50 years since then american would have pushed back against it and not elected people like Trump who are all in.
- My take on macos. It's the less bad of the three. It's not bloated as windows, not susceptible to break as Linux and the desktop is more coherent.
Sure it ain't perfect but it's quite better that the other 2.
- Honestly we could consider Chromebook just as Android. Yes technically they run on Linux kernel but there is so much going wrong. It's far from what everyone think when saying Linux desktop.
- > Taking Zepbound definitely reshaped my perception of obesity though, compared to Keto which required constant, intense self-enforced discipline avoiding 4/5 of any menu, being on a GLP1-a and able to eat what everyone else is eating but just stop and not feel hunger pains or cravings convinced me the attitude of "fat=lacking discipline" is antiquated and ignores real variance in how different people experience hunger/satiation.
Well I always assumed that people are fat because they are eating too much...of the wrong thing.
I lost 10kg not long ago, 20 lbs in American, and never ever i did feel hungry. Quite the opposite, i would be stuffed to the nose on fruits, vegetables and meats.
And believe me when I tell you I ate like an ogre.
I challenge anyone to actually gain weight on eating only vegetable fruits and meat. After losing these 10kg, I tried to gain 15kg of muscle and overeat on this regime to the point to want to vomit, couldn't gain weight. When I added fat and cereals, weight increased so fast I had to slow down.
With the average caloric expenditure being 2200 kcal for a normal healthy man, not even doing sport, the average vegetable being 300 kcal per kg, it means you would have to eat 7.3kg (16lbs) of vegetable per day.
I don't know you personally but I can safely say that you can't eat 16 lbs of vegetable per day, or 5lbs per meal. It's physically impossible.
So yeah I guess that how people experience hunger/starvation could play a role, but it's not the full story.
- > later switched to a low dose of much cheaper grey market semaglutide for maintenance.
Do you plan on staying on a 'low dose' of semaglutide Ad vitam æternam ?
I'm asking because I believe that's one of the negative of these kind of drugs, it's effective at losing weight but as soon as you stop you gain back all the weight whereas learning to eat healthy is slower but more durable.
- Orion for Linux and windows is actually a huge thing. I'm sick of having to choose between chromium clone and gecko clone, I find WebKit to be very efficient and Orion on my Mac was very good.
The only reason I didn't use it is because safari, I already paid for all the extension i need and I found safari to be better on iphone. But compared to Firefox or chrome, this is so much better.
- maybe i'm less smart that your 8 years old, i remember i wanted to switch the bottom bar to the left and the overlay was so cumbersome... i tried a few things and ended up breaking the layout.
- What i mean is that the keyboard shortcut in gnome application is lackluster. there must be a dozen per app, whereas on macos every single function has a keyboard shorcut. Even KDE has more.
- I often see people praising gnome for it's keyboard efficiency but they are not even 10% as good as macos.
If they cared so much, they would have keyboard shortcut for everything, in every app, with the top bar displaying menu and every shortcut attributed to it, just like macos.
Instead you can use the keyboard to switch an app, close it and so on but once you are working inside, you immediately need to take your mouse. What's the point ? It saves 1 second and confuse lot of beginners.
- Honestly that's one of the thing where Linux is truly behind other os. Design really need someone to step up, gnome choices are really debatable, kde is great but c'mon.. it's not for beginners or people who just want things to work.
I found that Linux mint desktop environment is the best of both world, zorin a bit behind then everything else.
- What do you think about YouTube showing pornographic advertisement to kids? Do you think they could, or do you think they must ensure that it's not displayed ?
Because I don't see how scam are less illegal than showing pornography to children, yet you wouldn't dare to tell me it's fine.
That's just miss interpretation. The way he told that was probably badly reported by the journalist and now it's getting miss understood.
Let's be honest and give this guy an honnest chance instead of witch hunting.
I really didn't like his interview and his blog post but even then, judge on the facts and not the talk !
