If you have worked at Mozilla then clearly you are going to have a better understanding of the company than I do. But my perspective, and I believe of many others from the outside looking in, is that the company is mismanaged, focusing on t

How did you come to the conclusion that it's not? Google being bloated is not a good justification for why Mozilla should be bloated too. Someone in the comment below suggested that Ladybird was built by about 10 people. Call me naive,

I am not a bot and I am not associated with this company in any way. But I am a happy user of Ente Auth as well. This AI thing they made however just gives off "we have to do something with AI or we'll be left behind" vibes.

I agree. But I am also sick and tired of humans prompting some LLM about the points that they want to say and having the LLM generate the response. Online communities will never be the same again.

I (along with many others) always thought that Astral being VC backed is going to lead to a future disappointment for the community.

People around me (including engineers) all casually use things like Alexa, Google Home, Ring, Nest, Chrome, are always signed into Google, have all sorts of apps installed on their phones, and have no problems giving up their phone numbers

Did you even read the article and tried going through the process? Suggesting the user to download the app is front and center and the link to apply online is tucked away in a link at the bottom. Not great, but fine, I'll live with tha

Stopped using notepad when they added co-pilot. Stop shoving AI down our throats.

To me this feels like a marketing gimmick. "It was the RSP that was constraining our tech. Just see the progress we can make without it now". And the hype and funding continues.

> We'll try everything, it seems, other than holding parents accountable for what their children consume. The mistake in this reasoning is assuming that they are actually interested in protecting the children.

That's not what happened here though.

Anything trying to break the browser monopolies in a meaningful way deserves the hype, IMO.

With humans though, I wouldn't have to review 20k lines of code at once.

All of a sudden various governments and tech companies want to do age verification. Co-incidence?

I didn't say anything about voting at all. I am saying the rich influence policies with their money.

If the custom PC market forcibly gets converted to pre-built PCs only, I don't see why intel is selling less CPUs. So I don't understand your point here.

What's next is no custom built PCs. They want us running dumb thin clients and subscribing to compute. Or it will be like phones. We'll get pre-built PCs that we aren't allowed to repair and they'll be forced to be obsol
