I have no sympathy for GAFAM, but Mozilla sucks even more and you can’t convince me otherwise.
- Comment on The Global Rise of Low-Quality AI Videos: new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos 3 days ago:
My algorithm is as simple as avoiding YouTube altogether and finding what I need elsewhere (preferably in text form).
- Comment on If you save someone's life and then you save her life again next year, how many lives did you save? 3 days ago:
In some languages (i.e., italian and spanish), “person” is a feminine word (the word itself has ha gender, grammatically). Maybe OP isn’t a native english speaker and they’re just translating literally their thought.

That would be great

I don’t get it at all.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 2 weeks ago:
Brave works fine for me and that’s all it matters. I don’t care about made up “controversies” of and internet drama. As if Mozilla didn’t fuck It up several times along it’s miserable history.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 2 weeks ago:
Still slower than Chromium plusI don’t want to give market share to Gecko because fuck Mozilla.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 2 weeks ago:
I know. Still, it has a bit less flexibility isolation than Brave (fingerprint protection, ephemeral storage and so on).

Abandoned FF in 2021 and went on Brave because fuck Mozilla. No regrets. Vivaldi is cool as well, but I think that the adblocker is a bit weaker. I’d switch to it otherwise.

That alone would solve 99% of the problem.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
sighs… I take you never heard that hard coded IP addresses can’t bypass you router (using iptables/notables) forcing queries only on port 53 of your server of choice and that DoH/DoT servers can be blocked by a simple DNS blocklist (a feature in both ControlD and NextDNS, for instance).
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
Why not? That plus a good router forcing all DNS queries to you server of choice (e.g., Asus+Merlin) is the way to go.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
Just use a DNS blocker ffs.
- Comment on I sometimes can't sleep at night. Perhaps my brain's "CMOS Chip" battery ran out and my circadian rhythm defaulted to my "factory settings" of Beijing Time (UTC +8), which would explain my insomnia. 3 weeks ago:
But(t) that should be done carefully, as if one pits the battery with inverted poles may stay awake alla night long.
