Just disable the animation?
- Comment on Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Adds and avoid the Bloat) 1 week ago:
I do not want the dev tools and neither the Extension framework, can I get rid of those? No? Being able to completely disable the features is not enough how? How does the code laying bare on your harddisk get in your way of using FX? They already promised a kill-switch. And you saying it turned on after an update is but an anecdote.

And at some point someone will tell me what is so horrifying about these new features? Mozilla might be the only company trying to provide privacy first AI features. What exactly is so bad here? You can even disable these features if you do not like them at all.
- Comment on Petlibro: Your Pet Feeder Is Feeding Data To Anyone Who Asks 1 week ago:
I never understood why people would buy their products with an internet connection. They sell perfectly fine dump-automatic-feeders where you can configure everything with the controls on the device itself. Have a 5l dual-feeder (did cost me 100 bucks) which usually lasts for more than a week, perfect to leave the cats alone for a weekend away. Combined with automated waste disposal the only thing you need to do (other than maintaining the machines from time to time) is pet them.
- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 5 weeks ago:
I mean yes, that is why I wrote the edit. It does seem like you could do this properly, by allowing AI to do rough translations of new articles and humans do proper localization afterwards. And prevent AI from overwriting localization of text that has not actually been altered in the original language.
- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 5 weeks ago:
Why? They have free (as in free beer) volunteers. AI could do translation for pages nobody had time to translate yet but taking over the localization seems unnecessary.
- Comment on Only a few years left 1 month ago:
Some of these test you should do far earlier. I had a full check-up at 30 to decide when we should start regular checkups. My doctor said 40 is fine but we still check a lot of stuff once a year (full bloodwork including B12 and skin cancer screening).
The earlier you catch something the better.
- Comment on Huawei unveils new trifold smartphone before Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal 3 months ago:
Weird idea to put part of the foldable screen on the outside of the phone. Classic foldables at least protect their sensitive screen when closed.

It does not, they detect the VM.
- Comment on Switzerland Slammed With 39% Tariff Rate in US Trade Blitz 5 months ago:
We will see, he already pushed the date these tarrifs will be applied to next week (7th).
On the other hand, just fuck the US, maybe can can finally signe the contracts with the EU, are most important trading partner. And maybe cancel those F35s? I guess we won’t because our government are a bunch of little children that would rather bow down and kiss his feet.

At this point I am using the voice of Wolf from The great north when he does the actual voice. I don’t remember how it actually sounds.
- Comment on US criticizes Germany for labeling AfD 'extremist' 8 months ago:
Was gibst denn du für einen absoluten Käse von dir?
Umbedingt auf die paar Immigraten schauen, nicht auf die Berge von Gewaltdelikten durch Rechtsextreme.
Das einzige Problem ist dass die AfD nicht schon lange verboten wurde.

50% of my code is written by Intellisense…
- Comment on Meta’s AI research lab is ‘dying a slow death,’ some insiders say. Meta prefers to call it ‘a new beginning’ 8 months ago:
That is not true, we use Vision/LL Models to extract data and structure said data from documents. It is amazing how easy it is compared to OCR and needing to know where which information is located.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
The government already lost a case against Threema when they tried to force them to spy on their users. This is a Verordnung which is not a law but has to adhere to existing laws. So it might be challenged once more.
If this trough though than it has always been legal and it is just the executive making it an actual thing now.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 9 months ago:
I own a BambuLab A1M as I want a printer that just works. And while yes it is all proprietary they do sell replacement parts for most parts.
While I will not forgive them for their latest moves I am quite happy, I turn it on, load an stl into BambuStudio and let it run without any issues at all.
My next printer will however probably be a prusa as they are Europeans and I love that they keep everything up to the user so far. But I can not deal with anything that is more DIY than a Prusa, it is a tool for my hobby…not the hobby itself.
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 10 months ago:
This is perfectly legal, the law only says that the user must freely choose to allow the website to save said data. You can opt out here and not use that website.
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 10 months ago:
Valve is such a weird company, on ome hand they do things like this, on the other hand there ia CS gambling.
- Comment on German Power Slips Below Zero as Negative-Price Phenomenon Grows 11 months ago:
The article says declining, not collapsed. The EU says it has to move quickly but with a potential shift (due to right-wing and conservative parties regaining power) from renewables to nuclear that could fail.
I mean the reason for why this happened is clear, Europe always relied on cheap Russian gas which is, at least for people who have just a sliver of humanity, a no go and there is no cheap replacement except for renewables. I guess if the Germans would have invested in renewables earlier on this whole issue would not exist.
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 11 months ago:
I had the unfortunate experience thaf major upgrades on Debian did break the system twice alreay (different servers though). Doing small, incremental package upgrades seems like less of a risk, I can more easily track major package upgrades.
Also it is my homelab, not a production environment, a place where I try new things and play around. So curiosity is always a reason as to why I do things as well.
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 11 months ago:
Moving my servers to Arch (EOS) as my trial for one during 2024 was successful, rock solid. Swapping my router to a Unifi Express as I am switching to an ISP which finally allows me to do so.
