Except when they get you drowned

It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary.

That’s pretty standard. Most FOSS projects don’t have corporations feeding them 100’s of thousands of dollars. Even when they do, well people still say gimp is far worse than ps. Blender is one of the rare complex projects that can compete with proprietary alternatives.

And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?

My best guess is that it’s really expensive and time consuming. I’d be surprised if those really good proprietary models didn’t cost $100k+ just for training.

which will happen over and over again until the end of humanity capitalism.

I fixed it for you.

Ever heard of the terms faulty generalisation, sampling bias, or echo chamber?

First time I’m hearing about Waterfox, but it’s strange they’re leaving in the regular tabs. I hope they add the option to remove them instead of having to use custom CSS like in FF.
