  • Firefox browser falls to AI. What do we do now?

    Jump

  • if you’re here to recommend ladybird, tell us why you’re doing advocacy for that trash fire in spite of the well-sourced, ah, downsides pointed out in article and video linked from the OP.

    same for brave. I don’t give a fuck if privacyguides told you it was the goodest browser.

    if you’re here to advocate for ladybird or brave and haven’t read the article in the OP, fuck off. don’t come here pretending to discuss something you haven’t read.

  • why are you holding out for a browser that the OP correctly calls out as being developed by a believer in white replacement conspiracy theories who also vibe codes his browser?

    actually don’t answer that, don’t fucking post here unless you’ve read the article

  • how are the defaults for librewolf? I’m considering switching but I’m hearing mixed things about the defaults occasionally breaking sites. waterfox seems pretty good too, but I don’t see it packaged as frequently as librewolf.

  • tell us more about how you didn’t read the article or watch the video

    specifically tell us how you missed ladybird’s developer being a fascist who’s already vibe coding the worthless fucking thing

    actually no, maybe just don’t fucking post here

  • after a decade+ of Mozilla dropping the ball on purpose and violating user consent, thank fuck we’ve got you! somebody needed to pointlessly restate the latter half of the video while carrying water for the millionaire CEO of a nonprofit grift and I certainly as fuck would rather fucking die

  • you've got so much in common with an LLM, since you also seem to be spewing absolute bullshit to an audience that doesn't like you

  • for anyone coming here to kneejerk defend calibre’s shithead developer because mindless advocacy is the only use you have for open source software:

    • we don’t give a shit that the LLM crap is optional, it’s still damaging
    • we don’t give a shit that the LLM crap might run locally, it’s still supporting a system built on mass theft
    • there’s no such thing as an open source LLM you fucking clown
    • please enjoy the calibre dev repeatedly stepping on rakes that smack him in the face when multiple computer security professionals showed him 10+(!) severe vulnerabilities in a setuid root mount program nobody asked for that he implemented for frankly fucked personal reasons over the strong objections of his own community
    • if you use calibre in a server context then none of this is workable, but calibre’s developer only cares about his personal desktop and he wanted slop so fuck what anybody else wants I guess

  • Epic CEO wants Steam to remove AI game disclosures

  • imagine being this dedicated to being fucking mid

    e: correction, rolling over and exposing your belly for generative fucking AI of all things isn’t mid. it’s fucking broken behavior, especially right after similarly unpopular garbage (crypto, metaverses) pushed by the exact same people failed in the market because the target audience mostly just sneered at it and refused to buy in

    like I’m sorry you feel like you’re forced to buy CoD 7 or whatever other AAA games succumb to this shit, but have you considered expanding your tastes past garbage? if you want to say fuck you to Tim in a language he understands, go play a good epic game or a a great epic game for free instead of paying $80 or $200 or whatever the fuck these jokers think it should cost for fucking trash.

  • like god fucking damn what did keepassxc do that made all these little fuckers pledge allegiance to it? what about this mediocre blog post is convincing? did y’all miss the context that this post is accompanied by a bunch of posts on other official keepassxc accounts where they give incorrect and potentially dangerous information in defense of their use of LLMs?

  • gonna have to start cleaning up some of the posts from the more long-winded assholes with opinions that aren’t more complex than “well I trust them to not let the technology known for creating security vulnerabilities run wild on their codebase, because they made the exact same promises every other project makes when they go all-in on slop”

    for a fucking password manager of all things

  • oh no what happened to that thin veneer of reasonable centrism when you were defending a password manager of all fucking things incorporating slop code? could it be you just fucking love slop?
