- Comment on Latvia bans teaching Russian as second foreign language starting 2026 2 hours 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 8 hours 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.

Why are you assuming that the infotainment center in a car can take over steering at all?

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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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" 2 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" 2 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" 2 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.

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 Hurray! This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source 3 weeks ago:
This is such a shortsighted take. After the initial hurdle of migration, you’re free of licenses forever. It won’t take long for the savings to match the initial costs, and after that it’s more money in the bank until the Sun explodes.

I actually like this idea. It provides more girth for when I make pro-Google threads on Lemmy, set notifications to vibrate and shove the phone in my asshole.

- Comment on The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme 4 weeks ago:
I think your question comes from thinking that anybody involved in this grift cares about anything other than short-term results. They would sell their own kidneys as long as they only had to deliver after the next quarterly earnings report.

Thank you!
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 4 weeks ago:
Conservative lawmakers don’t know anything about porn, because if they ever recorded themselves fucking and the recording got out, they’d go to jail for statutory rape.
They’re generally very comfortable around Grindr though.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 4 weeks ago:
I apologize in advance for how pedantic this comment will be but “half the US now requires” obviously refers to half the administrative units (states in this case, could be counties or municipalites etc) while “half the US is required” would refer to the population, so technically the post title is not wrong because of the population distribution.
I’m going to wash my hands now so that my fingers forget they typed this.

To be fair, they claim to take all their moral cues from a book writtem by our shitty slave-holding and sheep-fucking ancestors. This is par for the course.
