It was Arch btw.

This is a pretty good summary of the problem.

The way they are forcing AI on everyone and into every aspect of their browser especially when a large part of the people who use Firefox hates that shit is going to end Firefox.
The reason you don’t hear it about all those other browsers is because people have always known they don’t give a fuck what the end user wants.
Firefox used to be different. But all good things deteriorate over time. Watching it happen in real time to a browser we all use and used to love is why you see it so much posted especially in places with like minded individuals like Lemmy.

If you’re in the USA I would wait until the dickhead in charge is gone or else you might wake up to find he told Taiwan to eat his ass and charge 600% tariffs on all goods coming from them.
I mean its a joke, but how unlikely would it be really?

Yes they will absolutely fuck you on it IF they even allow it at all.
You know, in the spirit of “free markets” and all that bull shit.

Could you actually do this? I assumed it would all be some weird proprietary hardware that wouldn’t work in a regular computer setup but I’ve never really read up on it.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 1 week ago:
Lol pricing computer parts like they do fish in an expensive restaurant.
What a time to be alive.
- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 2 weeks ago:
It’s an extremely volatile asset. I think last “bull run” cycle it lost like 40% of its top.
But it also gained that 40% on the way up too.
Its just a gamble. I like crypto but memecoins and the like have bastardized it into something that, in my opinion, it wasn’t ever supposed to be.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 2 weeks ago:
If you’re “mindblown” about this then you shouldn’t be the CEO of any division of one of the most profitable businesses on the planet.
- Comment on Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time 3 weeks ago:
Waymo “presumably” paying for what they destroy isn’t the same as saying yes, they will 100%. Its pure speculation.
And its not a goalpost move, driving puts you and everyone else at risk humans have been tested and insured to drive. This thing is like in BETA version.

Difference is a driver can be held accountable.
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 3 weeks ago:
The same people that experimented on him psychologically in college are the same people who prop up Palantir.
Not saying I agree with what he did or what you said, but facts are facts.
He was part of some of the same experiments that were a part of MKULTRA.

Probably use some AI bullshit to scan what you’re watching/doing on it and block the sites that way.

Of course you can, but none of them will ever be in a position of power and the only two parties you can vote for both support shit like this, as you said.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 3 weeks ago:
Have you tried the above yet? Try it.
And if that doesn’t work contact their customer service and say you don’t have the option to use another device and you need to set up SMS verification or you’re going to have to consider another card. I bet it will work.
- Comment on Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time 3 weeks ago:
Puts on red!
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 3 weeks ago:
I do SMS however before I had this phone I had a regular stock android phone with the Capital One app on it and I wonder if yours isn’t working maybe you can use the app on a stock android and set up SMS verification on that, then switch to the other non stock androids phone and I bet it will work.
You might not have to take this step, but if it isn’t working with SMS verification on the Brave browser try that and see if it works.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 3 weeks ago:
I use capital ones website on graphene OS and have full access even to temporary cards and all that.
It didn’t want to play nice with Vanadium so I had to use Brave browser just for the banking stuff. I have a friend who uses cashapp and chase banking that way as well.
Only thing that doesn’t work is tap to pay and its only because Google are dicks and won’t allow it. Small price to pay to not have one of their spyware loaded versions of android on the phone though in my opinion.
- Comment on 1X Neo is a $20,000 home robot that will learn chores via teleoperation 3 weeks ago:
So in my imagining of how this would work out I think you could buy it outright maybe if you wanted and avoid the subscription OR get it subsidized somehow where insurance or government or facility you’re in pays part or most of it and then you would be stuck with the subscription model for using it. Kind of like you lease it from them, sort of. I could maybe even see where if you buy it outright you don’t pay the subscription but upon death it goes back to the company/facility but I think that will be a new way of doing things. It might even be a part of the condition for the overall subsidization of the industry. This is all just guesses though but I don’t think its that unlikely if you think like a greedy VC.
The reason they would do this for this technology in particular is because the end goal would be having no more cnas and stuff like that you would eventually after many many years of perfecting the technology be able to have these robots do all of that.
The long term projected profits will be insane. Again, this is just my guess but I believe it would work out very similar to this.

You’re forgetting those eye watering return charts they will be promising. The government will probably give them kickbacks or something similar to get it established at first. They have definitely done this in the past to help businesses (Texas Instruments, Foxxcon, Amazon, Volkswagen and many others they spend about $200 billion a year doing that)
Also when someone dies they don’t get buried Egypt style with their robot, that unit would be the property of the company/insurance/facility and go to the next person. Although I will admit mortality rates among elderly is something I didn’t consider but disabled and injured or otherwise handicapped people will be the customer base as well.
And I don’t know if I said it in this comment or the other one but getting them into facilities/hospitals will absolutely be the end goal of all this but they have to go slow and test it all out first which is why I think getting them into homes will be the first goal.

As soon as it really started gaining any kind of traction to be comparable in size and scope to the government they would try to kill everyone involved. And I hope wouldn’t succeed but…
They don’t give a fuck about what the constitution says, sadly.
And sure sure National Guard someone will say LOL they’ve killed us before and they’ll do it again because they are still government controlled.
- Comment on IBM Unveils Digital Asset Platform as Demand for Tokenization, Stablecoins Grows 3 weeks ago:
That’s usually for people who trade crypto so they stable up during dips or whatever then buy back in.
Personally I think it defeats the whole purpose of a decentralized currency to have it tied to a Fiat dollar. Would be more beneficial to have it tied to a resource of some sort or something similar for some semblance of “stability”. In my opinion, of course.
- Comment on IBM Unveils Digital Asset Platform as Demand for Tokenization, Stablecoins Grows 3 weeks ago:
But that’s just the problem isn’t it? You highlighted yourself how untrustworthy the US government is.
So what if you live here dude? Can’t easily get Euros and shit although gold and silver is an option for now until they pass a law banning gold again like they absolutely did before.
So what then? Put it all into their dollar? Fuck man idk. I definitely hate memecoins and shit but crypto as a whole doesn’t really seem like that bad of an idea to me. You can hide it a lot easier than gold and silver and they can’t bring a sniffer dog that will find bitcoin in the backyard.
Sure they have electronics smelling dogs but if you memorize a seed phrase and don’t write it down its yours forever so far they can’t read your mind and extract it from you short of torture but even then they have to know prior that you had it before and that you didn’t forget the seed phrase.
I agree crypto has a lot of scammers and ignorant shit attached to it, but I also agree that blindly putting ALL of your eggs into the fiat basket isn’t the best idea either. I think diversifying between certain (definitely not all) cryptocurrency and gold and silver is the best bet. I know I know people will hate me for saying that but damn I don’t understand why people know to hate the government but LOVE their money and don’t ever question that at all.
- Comment on Apple becomes third company in history to crack $4 trillion market value 3 weeks ago:
Oh man I want VIABLE Linux phones to be a thing so so bad.
I love Graphene but Google just makes it harder and harder for them to do what they do and eventually I’m afraid they will find a way to shut most of their functionality down completely. Despite graphene has discovered critical vulnerabilities many many times over the years and helped Google by immediately disclosing them.
Linux phones need to happen and I would love to see it happen soon.

Because this is much easier to exploit than people you have to pay fairly. Sad, but very true.
Like everything else in America the value of capital is the only thing that matters! See the healthcare system as it is right now if you need proof of that.
