Yep. It’s part of their mating ritual. You can learn more about it at c/fuckcars.

Microsoft is working very hard at getting into this data game. Don’t think they won’t try making similar deals.

Are we looking at a future where we need a search engine to tell us which search engine to use for your queries?

This is a problem with the add-on store, not the browser. Do the forks have their own add-on stores? Or do they just use the same one that Mozilla provides? To the best of my knowledge, the only forks that have their own stores are the ones that wouldn’t be able to use Firefox plugins anyway (e.g. Palemoon).

I don’t think forking Firefox is going to change what you see in the add-on store. You would need someone to run their own store. Or just install the plugin manually.

Responding to your first two paragraphs:

The enjoyability of a piece of art isn’t independent of the creator. I will only speak for myself since I don’t know other people’s experiences. When you see something that tickles the happy part of your brain, part of that emotional response is in knowing that there’s another person out there who probably felt that way and wanted to share those feeling with you. In experiencing those emotions, you also experience a connection with another human being. The knowledge that you’re not alone and someone else out there has experienced the same thing. I wouldn’t read through the credits because I don’t care who that person is. I just care that this person existed. When you look at AI generated work and it just feels empty despite the surface beauty, this is the missing piece. It’s the human connection.

If you disagree with the article, I’d like to see something a bit more substantiated than “it’s bad”.

Well, Chrome OS is a thing.

Punitive justice may not make sense without free will, but restorative and preventative justice still does.

How do you dry things? I’ve tried pre-washing things before to reduce the friction to cooking, but everything always go bad so much faster because of the extra moisture.

too

Funny that you say that. I always get the low end phones so I don’t expect much performance-wise. I didn’t even know it was possible for me to have a reasonable mobile web browsing experience because Chrome was always so awfully laggy while also making everything else lag and I didn’t expect Firefox to be any different. Then I actually tried it, and holy shit the internet actually works. Not only that, I can’t even tell that I’m browsing on a shitty low end phone.

Why haven’t we seen any of that happening?
