That’s awesome! I bet that gives you some really good insights to the two platforms.

I wish FPGAs and other more purpose built and purpose suited options were available in my IT equipment. They can do amazing shit, better and more efficiently. Just wasn’t ever available to use for me at least.

New taskbar from ground up. And despite all the requests to bring the feature back, their reasoning amounts to “we’re too lazy”

Weird. I guess solely from a stability standpoint it makes some sense. Or from a limited Dev team. But not much else makes much sense for skipping all that.

Yeah, the more ai by default DDG puts in, the more I look elsewhere. AI assists wouldn’t bother me nearly as much if it was all opt-out by default and a toggle to opt in.

Are they skipping minor bug/tweak/feature stuff or security patching?

Man, missed opportunity there on WaterFox. Could’ve been WaterBear lol

edit: tardigrade joke, though I imagine most will catch that.

Just run with ClownFox, or maybe PeanutFox, or just whole ass into CircusClown.

So while I generally agree with everything you have to say here, there are only two things I want to add.

Firstly, and potentially my more salient point, a lot of end users doing something is nearly never a reason to do something, if that thing itself is bad.

Bringing to my second point, AI is being done in the worst, and nearly most unethical, way. Participating in that front is only encouraging this behavior amongst heinous tech leaders to continue this farcical push to oblivion.

And while this isn’t a point of contention worth discussing, since it’s entirely my already decided opinion that I have no interest in reconsidering, but AI injection is a step further into enshittification of the last true competitor to google. It erodes mindshare and trust among the loyal and evangelizers. I know personally I’m now a little conflicted on recommending FF. On the one hand, it’s still the best recommendation, but we’ve also watched this type of decline many times before and it generally spells the end when a product goes the direction of trendy fads and enshittifying for short term gains at the expense of long term gains and user trust.

They don’t have a litre. Just have a large, Farva.

It sounds horrific…but have you ever HAD a near liter of cola in one sitting? And then basked in the caffeinated sugary afterglow?

I want to live in the most boring ass times. Once in a lifetime events are not all they’re cracked up to be.

I’m not moving any goal posts. You made a statement that equates to “but it is easy if you are american so Americans are whiners” and that’s just plain false. Easier than some countries, sure. But still not easy.

Just because a couple barriers are removed, doesn’t make the process easy and accessible. Glad you can galavant about with nary a care, I wish I were so priviledged as you, but that’s not realistic for the overwhelming majority regardless of country of origin.

I use 2x on certain videos where some talks really slow and I want them to get on with the explanation but don’t want to scrub through it trying to hit the right timestamp.

I can definitely understand that. It’s especially bad coming back to an old save. Feels like Gandalf in Moria “I have no memory of this place…”

Also…

Fuck you Shoresy!

Oooooo ship ship.

We’re all too private for that lol

Fucking hoisted by our own petards.

Don’t do it unless you are into technomasichism.

The trouble I’ve found with most communities is they are waaaaay more into anything than I am. People get stupid over unimportant details and become annoying pedants that are difficult to talk to because they are more concerned with correcting you than just embracing a shared enjoyment of something.

Still a great idea for some people and media though.

No one is whining about having a strong passport though. You’re giving a false equivalence. In most cases it’s about not having the funds, skill set, or resources to leave.
