finally some good news.

humans are perverts. who knew?

might? ascii art has a pervert problem.

Just wanted to drop a quick note that I donated to the Dark Reader project. long overdue. I use Dark Reader every day across multiple browsers and it's become one of those essential extensions I install immediately on any new setup. It genuinely reduces eye strain, especially during long hours of reading documentation, sometimes i forget I'm even using it.

The fact that it works so well across a huge variety of sites is seriously impressive. Huge thanks to the Dark Reader team.

cool, more airplane space junk collisions in our future. thanks.

its so they can put ads in it without you being able to block them like you can in Thunderbird.

no

no, AI is supposed to reduce the labor costs for companies. that is how the AI companies are marketing their AI services to corporate C teams. any other benefits that their marketing departments are pushing to the public are smoke screens.

no

once we've gotten rid of the nation state and private corporations own everything then certainly everyone will be better off. /s

996 culture can pound sand. lame.

salary aside, the vibe coders are exposing themselves to increased cognitive decline which should be a strong enough incentive to avoid AI to begin with. maybe they already had a cognitive impairment before reading this MIT study and can't understand the risk.

If left to the generosity of companies to allow us to control the hardware we purchase then we will never be able to modify the hardware we purchase again. There are no inalienable rights that we, as humans, do not define and legislate ourselves. If we want unfettered control of the hardware that we purchase then we need to codify it into law.

Anyone who doesn't agree with this is a collaborator and should be publicly shamed.

you don't need analytics for most of the stuff you do.

never provide these services with personal data / identifiers.

regardless of what the corporations say we do own the devices we purchase.

meat crayon

they also want me to stop using ad blockers.

No thanks. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I will just stop using your service if you require age identification from me.

Cool, more railroad monopolies, yay.

Internet communities are heavily censored if you want discuss anything that falls outside of mainstream centrist or conservative right-wing narratives. Try discussing left alternatives to capitalism on any of the major platforms. Shadow banned to the void. Even discussing industry centric unionization efforts and workers rights issues gets you zapped.

maybe MS is a bad example, MS is also a monopoly in many respects. Most companies aren't these giants. We've all been in a situation where the C team/upper management make terrible decisions like this without concerning themselves with what the employees doing the work have to say. There are more of those types of situations than being an employee for a market sector monopoly. a company can thrive without its board of directors and handful of owners, but now without its employees.

Does it run Doom?

This is another argument for need more democratically controlled, worker-owned enterprises. There shouldn't be a situation where this is possible [As VPs/Directors have told me on multiple occasions "we sell to the decision makers." And with how short-term decision making is for most companies, ESPECIALLY large/public ones, it's very easy to make that sale via "no one ever got fired for..."/bundle deals/incentives/etc.] The devs doing the work should be the ones making these decisions collectively, not ignorant, short-term thinking execs.

That correlation has pretty much been debunked.
