I saw/heard an interesting take from a YouTube the other day.

They argued that forks are killing Firefox. Everyone using a fork doesn’t get counted in firefox’s numbers, they don’t see all the Linux user or people turning off AI features because we turned telemetry off. They only see the telemetry of the windows users that use the AI features everyday.

On one hand fuck Firefox’s current direction and the forks are great. On the other hand, maybe we should all use Firefox for some casual stuff just to keep the numbers up??? Keep shopping and banking stuff to the privacy respecting browsers, but the random Wikipedia rabbit holes can happen in Firefox.

And most debian user disable telemetry. Their numbers probably show its all windows folk heavily using AI because its the default.

An “expert” could be anyone who convinces someone else to pay them. The “expert” is probably the one that ran it through the chatbot.

No, that’s reddit. Here we’re all just depressed as we watch all the good things fall apart.

And the fix is a firmware update not a total recall? So its either buggy overcomplicated software or the update tweaked things to reduce the power draw so you got less machine power than what you were advertised.

Which honestly for a washer machine is pretty cool they can fix that sort of issue without the hassle of replacing the big machine, but if only these kinds of major safety issues could be figured out in pre-production.

The first edit was undoing a vandalism that persisted for 5 years. Someone changed the number of floors a building had from 67, to 70.

A friendly reminder to only use Wikipedia as a summary/reference aggregate for serious research.

This is a cool tool for checking these sorts of things, run everything through the LLM to flag errors and go after them like a wack-a-mole game instead of a hidden object game.

Neither of those are 1 word. At least hyphen them to pretend they’re one word.

Could be scraping our answers to train a data set to write their latest buzzfeed article. Reddit is so full of nonsense they need to come here.

I’ve never heard of this pamphlet, but I have a feeling you didn’t read it either because now I know about it.

My desktop computer is plenty secure, but I can install whatever app I want from any source. The OS provides security tools to help protect against viruses. Even on a Mac desktop you can install apps outside the app store.

Apple and Google are pushing for their app stores to be the only option. Imagine having one store chain in the whole world.

And while the app store apps have a verification process, they’re not impenetrable. Apps slip through the system and scam apps are allowed to run rampent. What’s considered malware now has also changed, 25 years ago an app constantly “phoning home”, scanning your data, other apps and collecting data would have been considered malware.

Devices would be most secure if we didn’t run any application.

I bet the US will be your full name + the last 4 digits of your social.

Tell her; “no mom, if some 30 year old man was tracking me, reading my mail, texts and tracked my location you’d be getting ready to murder him. Why should I let gmail get away with the same shit?”

Lol looking at a few different sources online, Denmark average snow fall is around 20-30inch (50-76cm) per year.

In the US average between states range from 0 to 645 (1640cm). 34 states are above 40in(101cm) and 23 states are over 100in(254cm).

Good luck biking through a foot (30cm) of snow when it gets dumped overnight and keeps going for another foot during the day.

Simple, we treat “corporate crimes” the same we would if a 30+ year old man committed them to a 18 year old girl, because that’s what’s happening. Once you’re 18 the “child data protections” go away.

They essentially planted bugs in every 18 year old girl’s life and if your phrase it that way, the masses will realize how horrifying it is.

Google shouldn’t have our entire location history, that’s called stalking.

Google shouldn’t have an entire log of our private messages, that’s called eavesdropping.

Microsoft shouldn’t be taking screen shots of our screen, that’s called spying.

Amazon shouldn’t be using security cams to scan us for “AI” purposes.

Apple shouldn’t be using our phone microphones for “data collection”.

Facebook shouldn’t be compiling, scanning and indexing our photos.

And it’s worse when you remember your HR managers use windows.
