- I think Firefox is an excellent browser. Their problem is simply that they have too much revenue for too many years. They need a fraction of that. If I were the ceo, I would drastically cut back operations. Scale down the org to 10% of its current strength, keep shipping a solid and boring browser, accept donations that directly support development of the browser. No fads, no ai, just a high performance, bug free, standards compliant browser. The users and donations will come. Firefox will survive. One year of google revenue can kar them for 10 years of lean operation!
- At this point Microsoft needs to start over with Windows, preferably build on Linux. Valve did it and built a better gaming OS. Microsoft can do it for the rest of us.
- Because as TFA reported, Copy-Item is much slower than the GUI.
- People download it only when their phone is stolen.
- Jellyfin is great for this if you don't want to put the computer right next to the TV. Set up your torrent program to download to a particular directory and set up Jellyfin to watch it. The most seamless experience to watch anything. The only downside compared to Netflix is you need to wait 10-15 minutes to let the torrent finish. Also sometimes you have to hunt for the subtitles if you want them.
- Alexa has this annoying habit of being non-deterministic.
> Alexa, turn on the bedroom lights.
> OK lights turn on
In the evening:
> Alexa, turn on the bedroom lights.
> I'm sorry, I don't know a device called "bedroom lights".
How is it even possible to build a computer system that behaves like this?
- Even more ridiculous that the same mistake continues in Windows 11 today!

- Fundamentally any centralised message relay system will have enough metadata to know something about participants and maybe even things like message frequency. If you truly want anonymous communication it has to be p2p.
- Microsoft is a multi-trillion dollar company. Is it too much to ask for them to develop and maintain two separate Windows flavors with different focus?
1. Windows 11 - keep doing what they are doing, add AI, ads, all sorts of guardrails, whatever the 80% of users need
2. Windows 11 Enthusiast - Bring back Win 2000 theme, no guardrails, best-in-class dev experience, hyper-optimised for gaming, no AI, no ads
I would pay significantly more for the special version that I did for my Win 11 pro copy.
- I have never in my entire life wanted to "generate an image or video". I like taking photographs and recording videos because they represent the reality of my life. Who would ever want to "generate" fake images as a matter of normal daily activities?
- Usually there's a couple of options for internet access based on your address, not hundreds of servers.
- I never understood the hate for Recall. The idea is definitely good. In fact I want this sort of feature to work across my devices. I guess people don't trust Microsoft to implement it in a secure way?
- > during a time they were still using slide rules
tbh i would rather they use slide rules than chatgpt to build rockets.
- I remember using overlay mode in Winamp AVS made it run much faster. Wonder why that was.
- How much does it cost to run this sort of website? This one in particular has been a great help to me many times.
- > We don't train or retain anything related to your codebase.
It would be good to have this mentioned on the website somewhere, as part of a privacy policy. Right now I can't find any details on the site, which is preventing me from trying this out with a production repository.
- Why is the scroll so unnatural on this page?
If a game is well made and people enjoy it then what's the problem with utilising AI generated code or assets? What's the objective?
