Wait so you’re saying we can have these cars that can come pick up a bunch of people and it’ll be more efficient than everyone having their own car? What if we put the car on some kind of pre defined path, like a fixed one that can’t move. Would that make it more efficient?

Stop using mysql, you have postgres.

AI is exacerbating the damage we are causing by staying on fossil fuels. I see the issue is mainly political as we have green energy and all

What? The UK doesn’t care about people going hungry? Say it isn’t so?

How can we make that 2?

I agree they should have put the switch first but also dev is messy. At least you can about:config it. And even then your data isn’t being sold out to anyone unless you use it.

Hmm no

Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.

Thats the first paragraph from their mission statement here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/

Doesn’t say anything about environmentally friendly. Also I think this part “where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.”, and their stance on AI in their browser and it being opt in make sense. Some people want to use it. Let them have a safe and private way to use it. Maybe Mozilla can show how a privacy respecting AI experience can be. Wouldn’t that still be a net good?

They are just fork + patches, I think only one is maintained by the company that forked it but it’s an esr version and it’s an ad company.

There’s are 2 main browsers, Firefox and Chromium. chromium has a monopoly due to Google, edge, brave, etc. This monopoly allows Google as they dictate what happens to the chromium project, some implementations for features were never incorporated as it didn’t suit Google like JPEG-XL. Even tho its open source its main contributors are from Google. Google dictated the change to manifest v2 to ruin adblockers as it impacts their revenue.

This decision impacted all other chromium forks. I think all of them (maybe except brave cause they may have the engineering bandwidth) now lack maifest v2 support. All because a corporate entity decided it was better if users didn’t have adblocking capabilities.

They have even made changes to their implementations of various standards (HTML etc) and since most webdevs only test on Chromium, you end up with a subpar experience if you’re not using Google or Chromiums implementation of that standard.

So my question as I stated earlier. What’s the alternative to Firefox since even the alternatives are dependent on the work done by Firefox for their fork. And going to chromium is just allowing your core browsing experience (like adblocking) to be dictated by google.

Not defending but what’s the alternative to the chromium monopoly? Most Firefox forks people talk about are a fork of the Firefox version + some patches. You’re better off using Phoenix instead of those forks IMO.

Now India can have the Bhopal nuclear tragedy. Yay!

But again that’s not related to a committee stopping the implementation of a standard. It’s a scale of production issue, a labelling issue, and a consumer protection issue.

And I like having one port to just dock my machine in for power and display. I do understand how a separate port can help but I don’t see why we can’t have USB C working to its designed spec apart from the reasons I listed above.

Buy a supported cable? That’s a cable issue not a standards or forums issue

Oh boy it’s hunting season

Hmm time for the real Indian Revolution for fuck sake. These parasites gotta go.

This is to protect from ddos, not do the ddos

To be fair as a society we have never really cared about suicide. So why bother now (I say as a jaded fuck angry about society)

I can see your PoV. It’s a cool concept and I do think we will get to it but it’s going to take time and patience. There are so many weird niche edge cases that need to be sorted out before it can work without breaking anything, tbh if I’m talking about an agentic OS, it needs to live in its own container or VM. That way it can’t break my OS and I can just rebuild it incase something breaks. This is ignoring the privacy and security issues. Right now it’s still in the research phase IMO. And in no way something I would allow running in my (if I had one) company.

That makes sense. The bookmarks and settings kinda made everything fit better in my head, thanks!
