This shows how unhinged the whole recent hate on Firefox is. Turning off GenAI is literally one single setting AND Mozilla is doing things infinitely better than others (e.g. the translation feature is completely local, and having a chatbot in the sidebar is opt-in)

The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven’t seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)

Sorry, I’m not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn’t up for debate. As far as I understand, it’s a well-settled fact. Read the article!
- Comment on Mama! 1 week ago:
The big bang didn’t happen in a pattern, it happened everywhere at once: nasaspacenews.com/…/is-the-universe-infinite-new-…
The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it’s not spherical. It’s either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn’t imply an edge). I personally believe it’s infinite and not repeating.
- Comment on Mama! 1 week ago:
I’m not philosophizing with this one, the idea that the universe might be truly infinite is very much an accepted possibility among physicists. There’s no conclusive evidence for or against infinity so something about your assertion here must be wrong.
I’m not a physicist, so I can only speculate what might be wrong: maybe it’s because an explosion in our understanding is within a medium, whereas the big bang didn’t happen “inside of a bigger space”. So the big bang wasn’t a point in 3D space because space only started existing with the big bang.

That’s pretty cool sci-fi!
- Comment on Mama! 1 week ago:
There’s also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.
Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there’s no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.

A homeless person freezing to death on the winter streets in the US is as poor as a homeless person starving in Lebanon. Who cares if one of them has a banged-up smartphone. They’re both dying.

I’m not living there, don’t assume things. And why do you think obesity means wealth? The trash food that makes their people fat and unhealthy is very much an expression of poverty. The wealthy there east healthy food.

What good does a handful of billionaires’ wealth do the poor in the US?

I’d love that. On Reddit, I used to see dozens of upvoted comments by people who only read and believed the headline, all appearing before the first comment written by someone who had read the actual article.

Exactly, thus Firefox.

Chill, I mentioned Russia because that’s where even the white dude this story is about had visa issues.

Most of them, sure. Every single one until proven otherwise, yes. Every single one, no qualifiers? No.
Brands like Shelly allow you to completely disable the cloud, which AFAIK makes them stop phoning home completely except for update checks.
I think a lot of “Home Assistant certified” brands are good privacy-wise, as that means that they don’t care about pushing you onto their proprietary cloud.

I also psyched myself into remembering magic stuff when I was an impressionable child and visited friends who are into Reiki.
They’re all hardcore covid deniers and generally conspiracy nuts now, so good thing we didn’t continue forcing ourselves to deny reality in favor of woo.

Just more unbiblical shit.
First they made up hell as fan fic, then they made up ways for innocents to go there.
I’m an atheist, but even I know that everyone deserves salvation according to the Bible. Jesus is extremely clear on that lol.

Firefox.
The classic versions of Firefox and Thunderbird are still at the heart of what Mozilla does. These remain our biggest areas of investment — and neither of these products will force you to use AI
