gloflo··on Welcome to Ladybird, a truly independent web browser
That's ridiculous though. Performing a search is taking text I entered, concatenating it to a URL and opening that.

Nowhere in that process does Mozilla need to know about what is happening in the local browser of the user.

By that logic, and with some hyperbole, a text editor would need a license from the user to be able to turn their keystrokes into visible text display.

It smells really bad of privacy violation, data hoarding, targeted psychological manipulation (also known as advertisements), and behaviour analysis. That is why people are reacting so furiously.

Thank you! This comment made my day.
gloflo··on Did missing/corrupt dates in COBOL default to 1875-05-20?
There is zero proof that what was quoted is actually cause for any payouts. The examples you cite are likely not similar at all.
gloflo··on Did missing/corrupt dates in COBOL default to 1875-05-20?
And that means what?

Data values are nothing without the exact context in which they were created and the exact context in which they are used. That's like level 1 data analysis.

Publishing such data without context is deceitful.

And all your traffic would be watched and monitored by an US American company which already has access to vast amounts of your internet browsing behaviour.

gloflo··on Three Observations
"as we get closer to achieving AGI"

AGI as defined by OpenAI as s "AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits", right? Because what they are doing has very little to do with actual AGI.

gloflo··on How to Run DeepSeek R1 671B Locally on a $2000 EPYC Server
Considering the power of three letter agencies in the USA and the complete unhingedness of the new administration, I would not trust anything to a contract.

I wish it was clearly communicated if a series was fully planned and with a final ending, or not. The best series I know are selfcontained, single season series with a clear overall story telling.

That's what the AI is for, no? /s
gloflo··on Windows 7 boots slower if you set a solid background color
I am not OP and I see nothing of the sort you are implicating. The writing is dry humor and funny. The expert repetition of the word "expert" for the obvious non-expert expert delivers a good bit of the story.

You might be under a misconception here. The workout is happening with the real body in the real world. "VR" is just a medium of choice for extra fun and motivation, like playing a game.
gloflo··on Using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment
Just 200 flights? I would expected a number at least 100 times that. 200 flights of that range are what, 0.1% of a single day of global air traffic?

All of that is crazy in terms of environmental destruction but this makes AI training seem nothing to focus on to me.

gloflo··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
I doubt it is about data. It should be about digital heroin and psychological warfare.
