- Comment on Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox 8 hours ago:
Does Zen Browser even include the AI shit from Mozilla? I know for a fact that neither Waterfox nor Librewolf do.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 3 days ago:
I have never walked past a parked car with the windows up and heard what was being said inside unless the person inside was yelling.
- Comment on The A in AGI stands for Ads 3 days ago:
Ads Get Investments.
- Comment on China's economy grows 5% in 2025, buoyed by strong exports despite Trump's tariffs 3 days ago:
Shouldn’t that reas “thanks to Trump’s tariffs”?
- Comment on Took you a while... 5 days ago:
You know you can just keep what you already have on Steam and just buy wherever else from now on, right? It’s trivial and the idea that you need all your games to be on the same platform even if it means rebuying hundreds of them is hilariously stupid.
Lutris can connect to Steam, GOG, Epic and Humble Bundle among others, and you can access everything in one place if that’s important to you.

As a nonbinary, it’s definitely penis.
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 5 days ago:
And 7. They’re fuckijg immature assholes (in both senses)
- Comment on FTC bans GM from selling drivers' location data for five years 1 week ago:
“For five years”. So they can after that? What the fuck?
- Comment on Musk says Tesla is moving Full Self-Driving to a monthly subscription 1 week ago:
And I would think that before releas8ng the feature they’d have to get it to stop constantly crashibg cars into large stationary objects.
It’s probably vibe-coded.
- Comment on Why the PS5 ROM Leak Could be a Turning Point for Console Security 2 weeks ago:
Another potential reason to buy a PS5 now, I guess?
- Comment on EU's new "Open source strategy" needs feedback and input 2 weeks ago:
I also want to know this.
- Comment on Latvia bans teaching Russian as second foreign language starting 2026 2 weeks ago:
Thank you for the clarification. I really was confused.
- Comment on Latvia bans teaching Russian as second foreign language starting 2026 2 weeks ago:
I’m confused. So bilinguals in Latvia can’t learn Russian but everyone else can?
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
The biggest problem is training all the employees to use the new system. Even if they’re still using the same programs, 80% will complain just because the Start Menu logo is different and the other 20% will complain about something only slightly less irrelevant. Then there’s the IT department having to change their workflows (their complaints are actually valid). Then there’s the downtime during the transition and the sunken costs of whatever support packages the company had hired previously… Yeah, transitioning a company to a new OS is hard.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 3 weeks ago:
Why are you assuming that the infotainment center in a car can take over steering at all?
- Comment on What are some common *unforced errors* to be wary of? 4 weeks ago:
You’re not alone. This is pretty much a universal struggle.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 4 weeks ago:
“Cool while it lasts” is still better than “terrible now and forever”. Hopefully Waterfox survives long enough for Ladybird to get off the ground.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 4 weeks ago:
Exactly my case as well. There are several Firefox-based browsers better than Firefox itself without the bullshit: Zen, Mercury, LibreWolf, Floorp… All are good options. But the dev behind Waterfox made a public commitment to keep this AI crap out of the browser. That sealed the deal for me.
- Comment on Brazil court rejects new Bolsonaro appeal against coup conviction 4 weeks ago:
For context, his alleged violent bouts of hiccups have mysteriously gone away since his arrest.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 5 weeks ago:
And what say you of the preliminary evidence suggesting that using AI is making people less capable of thinking for themselves, or people becoming emotionally attached to AI girlfriends/boyfriends, or people who killed themselves either intentionally or accidentally by following LLM advice, or the fact that an overwhelmibg majority of companies who made AI a crucial part of their functioning are losing money or going bankrupt? These are part of the social cost and they all point quite strongly towards it being a very bad idea to rely on AI for anything.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 5 weeks ago:
The social and environmental impact of AI training and use is what I’m referring to.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 5 weeks ago:
Plugins exist. There is no excuse for bloat8ng the browser with these seldom used niche features by default, espexially when they represent 5% if what the AI component is doing and the other 95% are harmful to literally every living thing on the planet.
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 1 month ago:
OP, what do the names for Brazil and Peru mean?

Oh, that’s fair.

Just because you don’t like an answer doesn’t mean it wasn’t given. And it’s quite obvious that the only answer you’re willing to accept is “capitalism is the only economic system that can allow us to not live as animals”, even though that’s demonstrably false, so I don’t know why you want people to do your research for you other than ego and immaturity.

Simply create a system where it is impossible for a singoe person or faction to have enough power to do this kind of harm, and be constantly vigilant against any erosion of the safeguards.
It’s extremely simple when said in this way, but it’s also nearly impossible in practice.

It’s more like saying “the problem isn’t the several aggressive madmen with loaded guns shooting at you, it’s when the bullet hits you that’s the prohlem”.
- Comment on That's interesting 1 month ago:
It’s only a lethal dose because it’s too low. 10x should be where 8tnreally atarts working.
