  Not this seems overly reachy Firefox hate. This feature pushed months ago didn’t it? I managed to turn it off without even having to dig, and I know this because I don’t even remember how to do it.

  Firefox defaulting a link preview gesture to on, but making the AI off by default, isn’t a dark pattern. Every new update doesn’t turn this back on if previously disabled. And trying to twist this into “Firefox is using dark patterns to trick you into using AI” just feels like an attempt to shove “Firefox bad” down people’s throats.

  I find the amount of Firefox hate Lemmy seems to display so odd, especially when literally every other browser out there, from chrome to brave to opera, and everything in between, barely ever gets even a mention.

  This stinks of negative advertising, and I’m getting so fucking tired of it.

  I need to point out, IPA isn’t magical. If you’re just giving it a quick swipe, or mopping it around, you’re not actually cleaning it you’re just moving the mess around. It’s fine for some in between stuff, but scrubbing with soap and warm water is going to be much more efficient at cleaning the plate.

  It’s always funny when a service “bans” the use of a VPN but you can almost always find a server that works.

  Funnily enough, the same thing goes for battery “packs” in UPS units. The UPS costs ~$2500? The replacement “packs” will cost a few hundred dollars at least. But the batteries are standard 99.9% of the time, and cost 1/4th the pack if you simply disassemble your existing pack and transfer the hardware onto the new batteries.

  I’ve saved hundreds doing this, and since the batteries are standardized, you can usually find a great deal on them beyond their regular price.

  Good thing the goddess’ abilities matched well with his own. Imagine things wouldn’t have worked out so well if she was the goddess of magical hats or something.

  When she asked him what blessing he wanted, I believe there were a number of weapons shown within her eye. I’m pretty sure he already got the “blessing of daggers” so he went with swords this time.

  You’re not going to be able to break through a lot of peeps Apple hate on Lemmy, it’s almost as strong as the Microsoft hate.

  I’m actually astonished you missed my point so… completely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How AI broke the smart home in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pre-Alexa-Plus it wasn’t AI, it was simple pattern matching with very constrained commands.

  They’ve replaced these very limited sets of commands with bullshit interpretation that tries to not only understand “like a human” but respond in a similar manner. Those same commands can now be interpreted in a number of ways, and you have no guarantee how it will be taken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How AI broke the smart home in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool, you gonna hang out in my greenhouse and wake me up when the temp drops below a certain point? What about alert me to an increasing trend of the sump pump running more often?

  Home automation isn’t just “Alexa I’m lazy turn off the light switch I’m next to” and presenting it as such is simply disingenuous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you can shove your passkeys into a password manager. It’s not actually “one per device” despite what seems to be the original intent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m legitimately confused by this. Why would you want an inherently less entropic piece of data that is inherently handled less securely to secure your data?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you figure that a passkey in a password manager is weaker? Especially when compared to username/password/2fa all stored in that same password manager?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily. If I use an anthropomorphic cat as an asset for a character who in the end is a robot, can you really say it took inspiration?

  Granted, I haven’t seen any of the assets. But placeholders aren’t inherently inspiration. They can easily just be random things to look at before proper assets are made.

  And even if they did take inspiration, that isn’t the complaint. Would there be a need to disclose if they used a generative AI to generate a picture, and they used that as inspiration? What if they saw an gen AI image someone else posted and used that as inspiration? Inspiration isn’t the problem, it’s the “use of AI in development” which seems silly when these could have potentially been wire frames and result in the exact same final product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno…

  If I make a mock up of a cake using toxic ingredients, then throw that out and make my cake from scratch using food safe ingredients, do I need to disclose that “toxic material was used when making this cake”? I don’t think so.

  Of course this kinda falls apart when they shipped with quickly replaced textures. But I also wouldn’t expect them to disclose the game as unfinished if they forgot to replace blank textures with the proper assets until just after release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone has a LOT of dusty computers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some more than others, and I believe some don’t at all?

  I’ve used commercially available stuff in Canada before and it was god awful. I avoided cleaning anything that wasn’t absolutely coated in dust simply because it left a film of bitter on everything. Which doesn’t sound terrible except you don’t realize how often you touch a surface then your face/mouth.

  I’ve also used “bulk” stuff in an enterprise setting, albeit in the US, and there was literally no bittering as far as I could tell. Granted, I wasn’t abusing it to get high or anything so maybe the tech has just come far enough to not need to make the room itself bitter, but it seemed like there wasn’t anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Host Weekly #150: Watchtower No More⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, any kind of automated system can just break. So many factors come into play. Azure build pipelines for instance just sometimes decide they can’t communicate with their own servers, causing a build failure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is such a weird take. Recall wasn’t even a glimmer in M$’s eye when this limitation was introduced. And it would take virtually nothing to add positions to the training, never mind the fact that they could just completely ignore the taskbar since the OS always knows where it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is literally one of the least useful comments in this thread. It boils down to “should have made a different decision 30 years ago, you deserve this.”

  Came here to say this. They even have decently priced “lifetime” accounts. Though that price raises by a reasonable amount every year or so.
