  Wait so you turned copilot off, yet it was still reading everything you type?

  I thought Palantir made scandinavian power metal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK I think I see what you’re saying now:

  If everyone leaves Firefox because of this, Google would probably stop paying them to be the default search engine.

  I don’t see that as the biggest issue though. Once people are leaving, my guess is they’re just going to stop maintaining firefox regardless of how much money they get from Google. Cause why maintain a browser literally no one uses, instead of figuratively.

  No, using Google makes Google money. That’s why they pay mozilla go be the default.

  Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I haven’t idea what they’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically Firefox is operated by the Mozilla Foundation, and thunderbird by its subsidiary, MZLA Technologies Corp. This subsidiary also took over K-9 a while ago iirc.

  French evolves: it has a committee to weed out stupid.

  How are you going to stop people from using these “stupid” evolutions? That’s just not how language works. If this is really something France does, I’d imagine what they’d end up with is dictionaries that don’t at all match how people really speak.

  Yes exactly, honey finds you coupon codes. It doesn’t redirect you to go buy from someone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts

  Well yeah, that’s why you would put some cloud experts on the project besides the game devs if you’re doing things like this. It’s not just game developers working on the game.

  Doesn’t even have to be people feom the Azure team. Microsoft has plenty of resources to teach someone to be a cloud expert in other branches, they even offer certifications for outside people, surely they can manage a few of their own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hear me out, a Fediverse client that mimics Nintendo's Miiverse⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s the pretendo network, which continues support for the 3ds. Haven’t used it myself, but I think the miiverse network is also supported by them.

  So at least you can still use miiverse to some extent, though probably with way fewer people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reporters Without Borders sues X⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok maybe a very stulid question but

  The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced

  Isn’t that gramatically incorrect? Shouldn’t it be “The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday”?

  I see this kind of writing a lot in news articles so surely it’s not actually wrong, but that’s not how I was taught English writing.

  Mostly short, but the few longer flights ive been on were also Boeing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never flown in an Airbus, in the EU. It’s all Boeing or tiny propeller planes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clevo reseller wants get coreboot ported, ends up throwing a temper tantrum and banning Germany, Texas and AMD over unsatisfactory experience⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on everything we learned about coreboot, we think you can port a laptop board in 40 hours or less. There are tools that you can use to dump most of the code you need. For instance, the GPIO can be done in 30 minutes, as opposed to the 30-50 hours that was quoted by several developers.

  OK, so why didn’t you just port it yourself in 40 hours? Apparently it’s super easy.
