I’m a big fan of starting the command with a #, then removing it once I’m happy with the command to defend against accidentally hitting enter

Putting ~ next to the enter key on keyboards (at least UK ones) was an evil villain level decision

Specifically, it’s when it’s sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders, including state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)

So I think executions are not murder by definition

It’s nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance

I, too, work in a similar type of company, and can confirm from experience that Linux can get just as absolutely fucked up by a bad kernel module as windows.

And it’s not just changes to the module that can cause things to go wrong.

For example, the kernel released alongside the latest Ubuntu LTS included a change that conflicted with our module behaviour, so machines with that kernel or newer would panic on boot.

It was a super minor change, but when you’re deep in the weeds, it’s really easy for these things to be brittle. But that’s just an inherent consequence of the fact that this sort of stuff is intrinsically low-level interaction with the OS itself.

Imo the second season gets even better, I’m obsessed rn

This is just straight up wrong. Additive noise is an extremely common - fundamental, even - part of data anonymisation.

It’s like saying “if you have to use randomisation to encrypt data, then it means the data can be decrypted. randomisation is irrelevant”

Ok 👍

Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution

Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!

Pleasure doing business, good sir

Ah, I missed that alt text specifically is local, but the point stands, in that allowing (opt-in) access to a 3rd party service is reasonable, even if that service doesn’t have the same privacy standards as Mozilla itself

To pretty much every non-technical user, an AI sidebar that won’t work with ChatGPT (Google search’s equivalent from my example previously) may as well not be there at all

They don’t want to self host an LLM, they want the box where chat gpt goes

There’s plenty of situations where even a contextless generated alt-text is a huge improvement on no alt-text at all

Mozilla isn’t in charge of the extension API, it uses Chromium’s WebExtensions API

The alternative is only supporting self hosted LLMs, though, right?

Imagine the scenario: you’re a visually impaired, non-technical user. You want to use the alt-text generation. You’re not going to go and host your own LLM, you’re just going to give up and leave it.

In the same way, Firefox supports search engines that sell your data, because a normal, non-technical user just wants to Google stuff, not read a series of blog posts about why they should actually be using something else.

Oh sure, there’s definitely lots of valid criticism of rainbow capitalism, but to be clear, it’s not pride month itself that’s the issue there - it’s corporations leveraging it for profit

But the serious answer is because LGBTQ people have been systemically discriminated against in pretty much every country

Literally the next thing in my All feed is about the previous US president having a chill time with a man who proposed stoning gay people to death

Bold to go with the pro-auth-left take

I’m just going to ignore the long responses to stuff I didn’t claim in the first place

Okay but this isn’t “oh no, there are tankies around”, it’s the admin of one of the largest Lemmy instances systematically suppressing information about massacres and genocide.

There’s quite a big gap between banning “opinions you don’t like” and defederating from a systemically auth-left instance, in the same way that defederating from an auth-right instance would be a no-brainer.
