It’s worse. They’re proud they don’t know.

Yes it absolutely is still a burglary. Classic victim blaming.

I asked Claude to rewrite my Rails app in Brainfuck and it refused. What are we even doing here?!

Just one more new model bro the next one is AGI bro just give me a trillion dollars and I’ll build the datacenters and everything will be perfect bro I promise bro please

> a crazy ask of even very computer savvy users

Why?

When Mozilla updated Firefox with the AI chatbot feature the first thing I did was look in settings in how to remove it. When that failed I just googled it, which pointed me to about:config and which keys to look for.

Much easier to figure out with your intuition what `browser.ml.chat.enabled` could possibly mean than running pwsh script.

All it takes is a bare minimum of curiosity.

It's absolutely absurd.

We are at the stage where we can engage in AI warfare with bespoke AI generated weapons.

Nice.

Using the government propaganda press release is certainly a choice.

China has been engaging in "unfair, non-market policies and practices and intentional, state-directed policy of overcapacity and lack of rigorous labour and environmental standards" for decades, but Canada only changed their minds when Biden told them to.

"You know, there’s a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say ‘we need to go green fastest…we need to start investing in solar" -- Justin Trudeau

Yeah, I'm sure he did it because he gives a fsck about human rights and fair markets.

> company claims they "built a browser" from scratch

> looks inside

> completely useless and busted

30 billion dollar VS Code fork everyone. When we do start looking at these people for what they are: snake oil salesmen.

They slop laundered the FOSS Servo code into a broken mess and called it a browser, but dumbasses with money will make line go up based on lies. EFF right off.

It's not hard to search for a few keys in the about:config menu or to set a group policy. If you can't be bother to do this you have zero business running random scripts that update your system configuration that you have no idea how it works.

Normie users would be better off reading some detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do it by hand using built-in methods than to run random code from the internet that can be malicious.

My mom is 75 years old and barely knows how to use a web browser to begin with. There is zero chance I encourage her to run random pwsh scripts from the internet.

God forbid we're going to start giving them AI agents to do this kind of stuff for them. God help us.

> I feel Canada only set tariffs on cars out of some deference to the US auto industry

That is exactly what they did.

https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/electric-vehicl...

> The tariffs follow a May announcement by U.S. President Joe Biden of 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.

> Trudeau said on Sunday night that he had discussed China and other national geopolitical issues with U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan.

> smells like rolling out a Canadian auto market that is not dependent on the US

The last federal election was almost entirely decided by which leader made the best pitch to Canadians on who would be better equipped to handle Donald Trump and to make the economy less dependent on the USA as a whole.

They don't care about improving the browser anymore. They just want to make it into an AI browser.

Seems like this is for the people that need to execute random powershell scripts they don't understand in order to turn of telemetry and copilot on Windows because reading about the registry and group policy is too much for them.

So this is what happens to open source now? It runs out of money and one of the big corpos gobbles it up. Lovely.

I think donating to the Apache Foundation is preferable.

At first I aggressively banned anyone that submitted slop to my projects.

Then I just took my hosting private. I can’t be arsed to put in the effort when they don’t.

I am fairly aware of what I don’t know and incrementally try to fill in the gaps when I can.

Vibe coders are proud of what they don’t know.

They will be in for a rude awakening.

The also brag that Claude Code wrote all of the code.

Not a good look.

Instead of vibing out insecure features in a week using Claude Code can Anthropic spend some time making the desktop app NOT a buggy POS. Bragging that you launched this in a week and Claude Code wrote all of the code looks horrible on you all things considered.

Randomly can’t start new conversations.

Uses 30% CPU constantly, at idle.

Slow as molasses.

You want to lock us into your ecosystem but your ecosystem sucks.

They are free to have a sense of entitlement or to try and engage with the project maintainers/owners but there is nothing that obligates them to reciprocate anything at all.

The Brits should be grateful that a government with such horrible ideas is comically incompetent. Sometimes just keeping the status quo is a good thing. Having a government that just constantly enacts legislation isn’t necessarily good.

A useless government is preferable to an even moderately competent tyrannical one.

This is what the APIs are for. You pay for what you use, just like water.

You run the agent in a rootless container, all files are mounted via read-only filesystem mounts and you give the database user only select privileges.

You secure your LLM the same way you’d secure any other user on your system.

No the expectation of FOSS is that code is provided AS-IS with NO WARRANTY because that’s what it says in the license.

Never because the AI companies are gonna buy up all the supply to make sure you can’t afford the hardware to do it.

How's that piece of paper working out for you guys right now?

and here I am with my main PC with CPU mitigations off and SE Linux completely removed

come at me bro

never in a fucking million years

never crickets, definitely never maggots

You mean a technology primarily created by stealing content without attribution is being embraced by people that want to steal without contribution? Shocking!

won't somebody think of the poor trillion dollar company!
