- oh ffs, I was just thinking about upgrading my current PC with a new GPU and CPU and just keeping the same 64gb of AM4 DDR4 I already have. But now even the prices for the CPUs are skyrocketting? Eff everything about this and curse Sam Altman.
- Because the future and market is certain, don’t you know?
- Ok, I’m never opening an svg ever again.
Found by a 16 year old, what a legend.
- > Junior devs losing their minds over why useEffect runs twice
Oh now now, even senior devs do this too :)
- Rented compute is fine, just plan for being able to lift and shift at a moments notice.
- Constantly Fantasizing? I was responding to a hypothetical based on interpretations of real statements made by the new CEO. It's a public forum for discussion. Firefox is something that is central and essential to my digital life.
I think the only person fantasizing here is you, about what random strangers on discussion forums do all day when not responding directly to topics at hand.
- I ran AdGuard Home for a while but it was causing too many problems for everyone else at home so I stopped.
These days I’m using AdGuard on iOS and ublock origin with Firefox on everything else.
- The best part is when the AI just makes up the docs
- I have used Firefox as my default browser through thick and thin for damn near two decades.
If Mozilla killed andblocking extensions I’d switch to Helium Browser in a heartbeat since they’re maintaining manifest v2 support for uBO and even ship it OOTB.
The web is unusable without a proper Adblock.
- GPT 5.2 can't even tell me how many rs are in garlic.
- Use open source software. Buy your own compute. Make the effort. It's worth it.
- As an old-stock Canadian (one side of my family settled in Upper Canada in 1782 because of the revolution, so I have very thick British loyalist roots)...I use British spelling. I explicitly reject the use of American English.
This is a nothing burger.
- Mozilla for the love of God I do not want “AI features” in the tool I use to do my online banking. Stop this madness.
Nobody is switching away from Firefox because it’s not agentic.
But there might be a small amount of people willing to switch away from Chromium slop browsers BECAUSE IT ISNT.
Why do you think Waterfox and Librewolf leave this crap out?
- You're taking the meaning of the word "inevitable" too literally.
Something might be "inevitable" in the sense that someone is going to create it at some point whether we like it or not.
Something is also not "inevitable" in the sense that we will be forced to use it or you will not be able to function in society. <-- this is what the author is talking about
We do not need to tolerate being abused by the elites or use their terrible products because they say so. We can just say no.
- OpenAI is scraping everything that is publicly accessible. Everything.
- Maybe for writing, but in digital art circles if anyone notices a mistake in your lines or perspective or any kind of technical error you will get the anti-AI cancel mob after you even if you didn’t use generative AI at all.
I would not want to be an artist in the current environment, it’s total chaos.
- Not ridiculous at all.
Rust coreutils are MIT licensed.
Canonical sells extended support and security packages.
It’s completely reasonable to think they will want to monetize additional patches on coreutils as part of their commercial offerings.
- Because Canonical has completely lost the plot and become infected by Rust zealots.
I'll ask it to write one-off scripts for me, like benchmarks.
If I get stuck in some particular complicated part of the code and even web search is not helpful, I will let the AI take a stab at it in small chunks and review every output meticulously. Sometimes I will just "rubber duck" chat with it to get ideas.
Inline code completion suggestions are completely disabled. Tired of all the made up nonsense these things vomit out. I only interact with an AI via either a desktop app, CLI agent, or the integrated agent in my IDE that I can keep hidden most of the time until I actively decide I want to use it.
We have some "foreign resources" that do some stuff. They are basically a Claude subscription with an 8 hour delay. I hate them. Id' replace them with the Github Copilot built-in agent in a heartbeat if I could.
