The monogamous girlfriends are (apparently) also on different apps.
- Comment on Firefox is Getting a New AI Browsing Mode 3 days ago:
Yep. That’s already how the current “machine learning” functionality in Firefox works, you need to go into about:config to turn it all off. Y’know, because it’s such a niche thing to want when you’re using a (somewhat) privacy-focused webbrowser.
- Comment on Firefox is Getting a New AI Browsing Mode 3 days ago:
I suppose it’s fundamentally an issue of trust, and in recent years Mozilla did a lot to erode that. Even if an AI could theoretically be private and local, I’m not willing to believe that it’s actually going to be.
- Comment on Firefox is Getting a New AI Browsing Mode 3 days ago:
You probably already live in some sort of bubble if you’re a Firefox user. Most people straight up don’t care about the things Firefox offers, and what it offers (better privacy, a functioning extension system including adblockers) is diametrically opposed to using LLMs IMO.

Who the fuck asked for a Firefox AI browsing mode?

You really think they came up with that title yourself?

implying ephebophilia isn’t bad
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 4 days ago:
I mean, can she? Some kind of coercion isn’t completely implausible.

It’s certainly a brown.
- Comment on Tobacco conference to weigh up stubbing out cigarette butts 1 week ago:
A PR scheme doesn’t necessarily have to be completely fake, though. If a cigarette filter does reduce the harmfulness somewhat, it’s still better than not using one (if you dispose of it properly), but tobacco companies can still spin it like it’s basically not harmful at all with a filter.
- Comment on Tobacco conference to weigh up stubbing out cigarette butts 1 week ago:
Furthermore, plastic filters “don’t provide any meaningful increase in the safety of cigarettes”, he said.
Interesting. I’ll have to read up on that, seems rather counterintuitive.
- Comment on I will never not be angry they we are made to believe these types of comments are genuine discourse. Why is it defeatism is always the top comment even when your talking about a pedophile president? 1 week ago:
It’s kinda funny that you call this opinion a shitpost. Is this some really brainy meta post or do you just not know what a shitpost is?

- Comment on Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to practically surveil everyone? 1 week ago:
Does it? OCR is still pretty bad, it’s definitely going to be more annoying than plaintext. It might be worth it, but that doesn’t really make it that much less of a pain in the ass to deal with. You might need to use symbols that aren’t alphanumeric (along the lines of QR codes) to make the conversion to plaintext more reliable.
- Comment on Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to practically surveil everyone? 1 week ago:
What if you start sending encrypted letters and don’t write your name on it anywhere? Though that would definitely be annoying for the recipient.

- Comment on Localizing English error messages makes it slightly harder to search for solutions online. 1 week ago:
Oh yeah. It sucks trying to search for tips, solutions etc. when you only know the localized terms, and it’s rare that help resources in different languages are even somewhat useful.

I suppose I’m relatively spoiled as a German.
FAAMG or whatever they call themselves now) are now laying off massive amounts of workers to replace them with poorly implemented AI.
I do remember setting my webbrowser to English to avoid YouTube’s absurd automatic title translations, and that was before the LLM hype …

Countries with proportional representation pass laws that require big majorities all the time. Trying to identify the one issue that prevents sensible laws seems like a fool’s errand to me.
