I feel a lot of the "complaints" about Firefox are misinformed opinions from a decade ago or more. I hear falsehoods such as "it's slower" or "it takes up more RAM" which are both …

This is why we all need to rally around Firefox (or Librewolf, or Waterfox, or whatever fork you prefer) and make sure that sacred goose is never tampered with.

What exactly was "bad" about these ads? They're eye catching, and it definitely interested me as a reader. Poor choice of title.

This article has clearly forgotten the past. People would read magazines, newspapers, nearby bottles of things, etc. The phone part is irrelevant.

Stuff like this is always why I ruthlessly and aggressively push back against any Apple fanboyism claiming that the App Store protects users or makes them safer somehow. This kind …

The MAS is a dead end. Nobody I know uses it due to how locked down and weird it is. Release it on homebrew or as standalone .dmg and it'll find new life.

When every other website (or its content) is AI-generated and not made by humans, we can't buy computers anymore, we're being forced to use AI at work (for no tangible benefit eith…

"But, like Guitar Hero, no outside creative skill has been acquired or developed." Spoken like someone who never actually played the games. GH developed my interest in music as a k…

Eight excruciating paragraphs before the author stops rambling and gets to their thesis. So much fluff.

Azure DevOps (Also MS owned but more stable than GitHub), GitLab, Codeberg, etc.

Nope. Unless Game Porting Toolkit is free and open like Proton, there is little to no prospect of the macOS gaming landscape to improve.

This is the kind of response I wish Torvalds had, instead of the "AI haters are stupid and wrong" alienation he posted.

Work should never feel like home. If you feel that anywhere, that's a major red flag. Same with coworkers calling everyone a "family" - nope, don't fall for that. Working remotely …

The irony that this is AI written.....

I don't know how you wrote that with a straight face. The site is really bad now. Every time I log in I get a full screen upsell ad, most of the features don't work, people get ban…

Youtube is pushing a lot of AI features without creators' consent. Some of it can be turned off but others cannot. It's becoming a major problem. Can't wait till they lose so much …

This is a case of an SV-brained person stepping outside the bubble and realizing that LLMs are not the universal savior they think it is. AI isn't well liked in a lot of places. I …

Can we please stop saying anything about "AGI"? I remember when people would be like "AGI in 3 months" / "AGI in 2024" / "AGI is confirmed in 2025" like stop, you don't know if it'…

If you watch any 2000s comedy film, or just do a high level skim of 2000s pop culture, that was a very standard trendy attire back then. My parents were into me looking like that i…

It is causing far more pain than benefit in the majority of institutions. Particularly the cheating. Many students are flagrantly using it + the detection tools either aren't confi…

Not going, but just adding commentary - Having a karma requirement for a physical meetup is a poor choice. People will come out physically if they truly care, gatekeeping it with i…

HIPAA is a real thing. It is to be respected. This study appears to be LLM generated so all confidence in it being a) accurate and b) respective of regulations has all gone out the…

Why are you both-sidesing this? Apple is doing it right, simple high level statements. OpenAI is acting like a teenager posting screenshots of literal texts and being overall petul…

Yikes. Big yikes. This is only showing with more clarity just how weak Altman actually is. It almost feels as if they wanted the same clout received from the "Thoughts on Flash" Jo…
