This is a really valid point, especially because it’s not only faster but dramatically cheaper.

The thing is, summaries which are pretty terrible might be costly. If decision makers are relying on these summaries and they’re inaccurate, then the consequences might be immeasurable.

Suppose you’re considering 2 cars, one is very cheap but on one random day per month it just won’t start, the other is 5x the price but will work every day. If you really need the car to get to work, then the one that randomly doesn’t start might be worse than no car at all.

Getting wasted in bars and clubs is not how one finds quality life partners.

Similarly, if no one is into you, that might be because the core of your identity is feeling desperately lonely while getting drunk in bars and clubs.

He keeps trotting out the same old schtick though. Just yesterday / today at his mara lago presser, more Biden stuff.

Obviously. Why is that threatened by this antitrust ruling ?

4. His thinking is completely inflexible. He’s quite simply unable to adapt to his new opponents. He’s spent so long practising insulting biden in the mirror and now he can’t use his repertoire.

Nonsense. The users who have left are an infinitesimal portion of users.

This article doesn’t even bother to explain the connection. I don’t get it if I’m honest.

booking.com is the worst I’ve encountered. There’s a captcha type anti-bot thing that I can’t pass with firefox. I think it uses canvas.

edit: another I use all the time is called echo360. It’s the platform my university uses to host lecture videos. The player just plain doesn’t work in firefox - blank screen.

So that makes odysee’s behaviour OK?

Yeah it really does seem this way.

I’ve never been a “free speech absolutist”. I acknowledge that censorship is problematic, but it seems much less so than the alternative.

I hadn’t heard of this.

The FAQ says it’s not a 1 for 1 replacement. There’s a lot of features which can’t be ported.

It’s probably better than nothing for most people, but not as good as uBO was.

Still, I wonder why it’s not mentioned more often.

Meh.

Librewolf already breaks loads of websites with it’s fingerprinting resistance - just get used to turning it off.

In any case, you already need a chromium fork handy for all the sites that just plain don’t support firefox any more. I’ve run in to weird issues in firefox that don’t arise in chromium several times in the last month. This is going to get much worse.

As for changing browsers. I don’t care very much. I don’t use many browser features like bookmarks or passwords.

The article seems to be based on a number of flawed premises.

Firstly, that chatgpt is the only LLM. It’s not, and better, stronger, cheaper alternatives are likely to emerge.

Secondly, that LLMs are a step on the way to AGI. Like any minute now they’re going to evolve. They’re not, they’re a one trick pony which is making coherent sentences. That’s it.

Even if that were true, and it seems unlikely, that’s still an order of magnitude more than the ladybug devs.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Seems a little idealistic.

If ladybird actually achieves any sort of userbase they would take the same deal in an instant.

a Herculean undertaking with too few engineers and too many standards

Yeah, as a layperson this is my take. If mozilla is struggling to stay in the game then I just don’t really see how an unfinanced indie team has a shot.

WDYM “independent” ?

Isn’t mozilla / gecko more or less independent?

We didn’t migrate “as a community”. All the same communities still exist on reddit.

Good lord. If you think lemmy votes are an indicator of solid reasoning I don’t know what to tell you.

Communities aren’t going to move away from lemmy.ml because no one cares enough about this issue.

You can dream that that’s how communities ought to work but they just don’t.
