  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

  This evidence is not well founded and I dont believe this is a real problem. Its the same as the reaction to cellphones even if studies suggested they are bad, we all still use them and dont care.

  There is only an environmental impact in AI in training in the places that have water issues or use fossil fuels on the grid. Otherwise its the same as any other power use.

  Plus model training costs arent relevant to firefox. We dont factor in the power usage for creating the linux kernel when we talk about linux or any other software. There isnt any good reason we should care about 3rd party companies power generation costs. I dont think about how much power the steel plant used to build my car nor should I.

  none of those features are slop. They are amazingly useful features. Removing them from the hands of average users by putting them behind an extension would make Firefox a much worse option and exclude a ton of people for no reason.

  Your opinion is based on nothing and you have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re just a reactionary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont consider any of those features to be bloat. “Harmful to every living thing on the planet” wtf are you referring to here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  So no text to voice/voice to text, no translation, no ocr, no summarization, no scam detection? These are useful ai features to have in a browser IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your gaming highlights of 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Beyond all reason. Its my first RTS in that genre and its amazing. The community is probably the greatest part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What steps can be taken to prevent AI training and scraping of my public facing website?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You could put your website behind a cloudflare anti bot check. But realistically, your website is public facing and these bots are scraping the public web. They will eventually get the data from your website.

  Is this written by the AI? Its devoid of any substance and the “author” is just pissing and shitting about not having the infrastructure they only realized they want after they started watching NJB videos a few years ago. Horriblely written article, not related to technology at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Proton Sheets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually like only office but i prefer it to be in browser

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Proton Sheets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  isnt that just libre office?

  Its always had extreme content from both ends

  I do not get what they trying to say here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Proton Sheets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been wanting a sheets alternative and I really do not like libre office. This is huge

  Spineless admin. The evil stuff seems to be the only things the dont back down from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bluesky did a lot right. I really hate it because of that. I think its going ot eventually win out and become exactly the same as twitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont find them addictive, just useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont want corporate platforms to be the only ones to implement recommendation algorithms. The problem with the platform is its a blackbox not that it has algorithmic recommendations. And the fediverse will do it, there is already the beginnings of recommendation algorithms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those arent the steps. There is a 6th one because you have to go find content. Whats served up by default is random and not very good compared with the algorithmic feeds of other platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 2k hours in rimworld and I cheat like a motherfucker when my favorite pawn dies. I might go through a run having revived the same pawn 10+ times. I’ll do all kinds of weird copes like oh its fine because I will also delete this stack of 10k silver or i’ll delete another pawn as sacrific. However in multiplayer games nah no cheating, I can win fair and square.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  my gaming pc runs at like 50w idle and only draws a ton of power if its being used for something. It would be more accurate to consider a PC to be 1.75x more power than a NAS but then account for the cost of buying a NAS. I’d say NAS would probably take 2-4 years to pay off depending on regional power prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure just cause 3 didnt have an option to disable it and it was horrible. They fixed it later I believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didnt see the part where they mentioned trying to leave. Also why would I assume this person is financially struggling, they are likely getting paid in the hundreds of thousands.

  Ford V Dodge is a meme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every game should have the option to toggle motion blur off, toggle frame gen and upscaling off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you keep working there. After that two hour demo of the app i’d have given the highers ups shit until they fired me. Sometimes you got to use your professional status to tell people they are doing a bad job

  This could be huge. I hope they find a decent middle ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah like stringing 5 chatgpt’s together saying “you are scientist you are product lead engineer etc” is dumb but stringing together chatgpt into a coded tool into a vision model into a specific small time LLM is an interesting new way to build workflows for complex and dynamic tasks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. By breaking down the problem you can adjust the models to the task. There is a lot of work going into this stuff and there are ways to turn down the randomness to get more consistent outputs for simple tasks.
