Do ISPs "offer" them on a non-optional basis?
- Comment on Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo | TechCrunch 4 months ago:
Actually I don't need to read it, because I suffered too. Downgrading was a workaround applied by librewolf to fix another bug that also caused data loss.
The root of the problem is still there, that librewolf just applied a patch without any revision.

I tested it with a 16GB model and barely got 1 token per second. I don't want to imagine how long it would take if I used swap instead.

The question is quickly answered as none is currently that good, open or not.
Anyway it seems that this is just a manager. I see some competitors available that I have heard good things about, like mistral.

If (as it seems) the point is not impersonation but damage to the person's honor/image, where exactly is the line?
If realism is the determining factor, what about a hyperrealistic human work? And if it is under human interpretation how realistic it should be, could a sketch be included?
- Comment on YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave 5 months ago:
I’m from a generation that had no pause or fast forward on the TV before the internet.
Me too, but using ublock for a while it's easy and quick to become intolerant of ads.

It would be great to have an ultra-low power mode for emergency calls.
- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 5 months ago:
I can already see it: "We'll do whatever we want without accepting any responsibility and we'll spy on you to monetize it. Click here to accept."
It's a complicated issue, maybe with summaries, requiring affirmative consent only for certain actions, or splitting them up? I don't know, it all seems messy. But I hope it leaves behind the expectation that we lie by agreeing to sell your firstborn's soul after reading for hours in legalese.
- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 5 months ago:
Read by almost no one. It is interesting because in many countries contracts are considered invalid if one of the parties is not properly informed and still accepts, affirmative consent is legally crucial. Everyone knows that EULAs systematically violate it, for some reason no one cares.
- Comment on Outrage in Iran after woman whipped for refusing to wear hijab 5 months ago:
A good reverse example would be the old testament, which speaks openly of killing sodomites, but western cultures are by far the most progressive on gay rights; even the vatican itself is more tolerant than much of the world.
- Comment on How crowded are the oceans? New maps show what flew under the radar until now 5 months ago:
Moreover, when their owners fall into the water they do not attack or intimidate them. Probably, like most animals, they don't even understand that boats are inanimate things controlled by humans.

That you want to continue this and keep throwing out crude provocations only reinforces my assumption.
You don't even have a good excuse, at no point have I mentioned you and this is a huge post full of rudeness, in any case that you take it as an allusion speaks volumes. - Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
You are as pitiful a troll as ggsu7.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
I understand the point (especially if some can't use downvotes) but I hope the alternative isn't something like this post, because I don't think I've ever seen a less civil one.

If you're not going to contribute anything but your rage, you should shut up. This is what the downvote button is for.

- Comment on The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages 6 months ago:
The absolute nosedive of firefox's share, its erratic and pointless development, the waste of money... there are many valid criticisms against mozilla and its mismanagement, which one do you prefer?
- Comment on The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages 6 months ago:
If the first one on the list was so expensive and so counterproductive, I can't imagine the rest...

Sure, I have them on sale.

Oh, you were watching? You were a troll after all. Blocked.
- Comment on Each Bitcoin transaction uses 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages 6 months ago:
Bitcoin is the first in a huge series of crap to speculate on, but it's not the whole thing. For example, several central banks are creating their own centralized cryptocurrencies, which are fundamentally opposed to that.
- Comment on Each Bitcoin transaction uses 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages 6 months ago:
That's not my point, I haven't tried to convince anyone to trust anything nor have I minimized anything. I don't know if you're a troll or just want to argue in bad faith, but I'm out.
- Comment on Each Bitcoin transaction uses 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages 6 months ago:
How have you managed to twist it into a fallacy? You shouldn't make these claims, because if anything you used a hasty generalization or fallacy of composition.
Not all cryptocurrencies are bitcoin nor do they work the same at all. For example, many don't even use "mining", which is the source of bitcoin's outlandish energy waste. I have no interest in defending cryptocurrencies, but at least don't do so in defiance of common sense.

Bitcoin ≠ Cryptocurrencies

Hehe, this is why modern feminists are a joke, criticizing sexism while praising sexism.

COOL! Anyone who refuses to surround themselves with too many people of any identitarian group should never hold a position of power. It's great that they rule themselves out.

I thought this had already been implemented. How many times have they already delayed it?
