Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.

Pretty sure you can disable those by click on the settings wheel visible in the bottom right. Or just use librewolf :)

Western ones are also shitty tho. AMD and nvidia constantly changing up their naming schemes. Adding random X and T letters.

Bought an orange pi recently and had a similiarily confusing experience with naming schemes.

Yup this is the way. The resulting .kdbx database file is encrypted so you can even synchronize it over an untrusted provider. Otherwise you can use something like syncthing to keep it strictly peer to peer.

Thank you for extending this chain of tomfoolery :) I was thinking that Mint would make a good setup for a continuation.

Mint is an operating system based on Debian, while Ubuntu describes a set of closely related Bantu African-origin value systems that emphasize the interconnectedness of individuals with their surrounding societal and physical worlds.

Yeah this is like asking “Why rob a bank when you could just rob a random person on the street”

Sure you can do that, but the comparably tiny amount of money you get is not really worth the effort and risk.

Nah its just part of the MLM scheme that is “AI”. Its useful because they said it would be useful. Its worth the investment because it cost a lot of money. Once you realize that all these companies care about is revenue and “growth” then it all clicks. It doesnt have to work or be profitable, it just needs to look good to investers.

They will even go as far as firing loads of workers and saying publicly that they “replaced them with AI” while in reality those workers were just doing something that the company was willing to sacrifice. They just replaced something with nothing to make it look like their magic AI can actually do things.

Cory Doctorow put it better than i ever could: https://pluralistic.net/2025/05/07/rah-rah-rasputin/
The whole post is good but i will just quote this section.

The “boy genius” story is an example of Silicon Valley’s storied “reality distortion field,” pioneered by Steve Jobs. Like Jobs, Zuck is a Texas marksman, who fires a shotgun into the side of a barn and then draws a target around the holes. Jobs is remembered for his successes, and forgiven his (many, many) flops, and so is Zuck. The fact that pivot to video was well understood to have been a catastrophic scam didn’t stop people from believing Zuck when he announced “metaverse.”

Zuck lost more than $70b on metaverse, but, being a boy genius Texas marksman, he is still able to inspire confidence from credulous investors. Zuck’s AI initiatives generated huge interest in Meta’s stock, with investors betting that Zuck would find ways to keep Meta’s growth going, despite the fact that AI has the worst unit economics of any tech venture in living memory. AI is a business that gets more expensive as time goes on, and where the market’s willingness to pay goes down over time. This makes the old dotcom economics of “losing money on every sale, but making it up in volume” look positively rosy.

Why? They are pretty similar in price. Also Valve can afford to sell the SteamDeck at a massive loss, because they get lots of money from the games people buy to play on it. The orange pi neo is also significantly higher performance with twice as many cpu cores and a way stronger gpu.

Yeah i just checked the video and it appeared for like 2 seconds as a side note. He never even tried Brave apparently.

I still wonder to this day if this thing (Neuro-sama) isnt just a really elaborate mechanical turk setup.

That number combined an estimate of time saved by not having to develop software covered by open source and the profits reaped by companies using open source in production

People will be mad at this, but they can and should just use a different license if they are unhappy with leeching.

Efficiency is also a major problem i think. You can always just slap a higher power APU in there, but then you also have to cool that thing. And that means either a higher RPM fan or a larger device with a bigger radiator.

Yeah absolutely zero chance anyone is gonna make a modern smartphone with all parts from a single country. Maybe in China but definitely nowhere else.

For URLs just put the URL into the lemmy search and it will find any posts with it.

For images there isnt really anything because it would require hashing all images uploaded to all instances and then allow people to search through them which is computationally expensive. Basically you want reverse image search like tineye.com but only for lemmy.

Yeah there isnt anything of the same size with significantly more power afaik. Gotta go with a laptop then if u need the power.

Thats fair yeah

The greater strength is achieved by turning concrete into a composite material with the addition of steel or other fibers.

Fiber reinforcment is thousands of years old.

Basically they used pyramid age tech to outplay billions of dollars worth of weapons tech.
