I know and don’t mind the jokes, you folks are doing a good job on communities that I follow. I started “teachers” and “education” subreddits a lifetime ago with a free-speech-absolutist mindset and quickly realized that they become a cesspool without someone grinding through reports 24/7.

“Still kinda related”

Please, Lord, let me never become a moderator, keep my reasoning intact.

Sure, those two are ok, I guess, so long as Firefox doesn’t download models before I try using them for the first time. However, I emphatically don’t want and wouldn’t use and would be miffed if any tl;dring AI plugins weren’t optional. Mind you, we’re only here discussing this because we were asked about it and now there’s people replying as if ours are ludicrously luddite opinions that stand in the way of progress and Mozilla’s success.

Well, la di fucking dah. You’re telling me they have to bundle the solution to make people realize they have problems that fit. I’d just like a lean browser that understands Ublock Origin is its primary concern and focus because it’s its main advantage at the moment. Bundle that if you’re in a bundling mood.

I for one do know that and am not against AI religiously and have used it to great effect and STILL DON’T WANT TO DOWNLOAD IT WITH MY BROWSER. Just make it an addon.

I feel like you’re doing the classic Lemmy/Reddit thing of seeing the letters “AI” and automatically freaking out, before looking into what they’re actually doing. We aren’t talking about ChatGPT integration here…

They asked and we think they shouldn’t waste money on it and everything they do should be optional and not bundled by default. Why do you think we didn’t understand?

The primary, only, thing you could come up with is “I don’t want privacy focused translation, because AI”

Also this one is really tenuous to the point I’ll say fuck your interpretations of what I wrote. It should be: I don’t want ANY translation to inflate the browser. Publish them as a separate exe or a Firefox plugin. They bundle it because it’s a bunch of shit most people don’t need and would never seek /download.

Without realizing the the grand majority of all translation tools that don’t suck have been AI driven for like 8+ years (Long, long, before LLMs of today).

That’s presumptuous, I’m perfectly aware of it, but I’m not downloading the grand majority of translation tools with my browser.

I filled it, but there’s no avenue there to express my complete disdain for AI and how shit it can make a product. Just make everything AI optional, don’t make me download data for shit I’ll never use.

I like the sound but some moments of those preachy recitals that read like tumblr poetry make me pine for his Cubanos Postizos phase.

Just realized from the comments that Shaun Martin died this summer, that’s a bummer.

Then please point me to an instance with less shitty privacy policy than this

FUCK r/technology. FUCK Reddit. FUCK u/spez!

What year is it

Let’s replace one proprietary service with another. It looks so good with its API wide open, like it’s never getting enshittified.

Nostalgia edition is a sure sign it’s bleeding players and they obviously have no idea how to replicate that success with fresh gameplay under a fresh name. It would be of immense help for Epic if their store took off (it even has cart now), but they destroyed a lot more goodwill with exclusives than they got with freebies. I hate-claimed 300+ games for free, never install anything from there and still wouldn’t pay for an exclusive. Even if I didn’t hate EGS I would never buy a game unless it’s been out for a few years and is deeply discounted. Good luck, Epic, you’ll need it, you overextended yourself and it’s downhill from here.

Technically very good, looks like a good use of engine and art direction. However, as an extraction shooter that requires slow and tactical gameplay, it has an uphill battle to make people stick around and it better offer a huge pool of game-changing loot or it will have 30k max daily players. Also, the robot enemies don’t look like something you’d want to shoot at for a 100 hours, Helldivers 2 has two (about to become three) completely distinct enemy factions, one with blood and guts and the environments change all the time.

Just the last two panels are stronger IMO
