I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
Don’t fall for it, Germany. There’s never going to be a convenient time to stop burning fossil fuels. The economists will never tell you it’s a good idea, unless it’s in some comfortably distant future that will never come. Do it now.
it only has about 2000 downloads, so proceed with caution
It’s got a github link, the repo is owned by someone who looks legit, it’s existed for a while, and there probably aren’t enough users to tempt anyone into selling it to bad actors. In my view that makes it look about as trustworthy as any unfamiliar extension can, without actually inspecting the source code.
The fork seems to have been around since 2023. Did the spyware version get removed only recently?
It seems like that would be a pretty good shower thought if I could make any sense of it at all. Profile says “prompt engineer.” Did an LLM come up with it? Or is there something I don’t know about David Mitchell and/or Slavoj Zizek?
It’s a good bubble! Like those little bubbles you get in champagne, except this one’s the size of the entire western hemisphere. It’s so fizzy with innovation it’s going to be worth every trillion dollar bill it incinerates. Your investments might end up worthless but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped bring about the birth of General AI, who will be along any minute now, the superintelligent robotic overlord that will soon rule over your life. It’s going to be so amazing it’ll be worth literally all the money in the world. Stop trying to make bubbles go away. Stop trying to think rationally. The AI will do that for you.
They don’t need you to buy anything right now. They want you to see the ads, remember them. Think of them when you hear the brand name. Know that their products exist. Maybe even mention one of those products to your friends in conversation some day, or just nod in recognition if someone else mentions it. They’re buying space in your mind.
Civilization is on the decline, well past its peak, and probably will be for another hundred years at least. At a personal level I’d advise you not to worry about it too much. The things you can do to make the world a better place are the same things they’ve always been.
Tetris has a CEO? Does she hang out with the President of Pong and the Mayor of Space Invaders?
Remember when Google tried to bring remote “attestation” to PC web browsers? Everyone was horrified and they were forced to back down. Somehow when it happens to phones, people are slower to understand the danger — as if they’re not real computers, and naturally should belong to someone other than their nominal owners.
Having scanned through the list of movie titles in this thread the one I most want to watch again is The Third Man.
Oh great it’s time for that again. So many things they might try to do to protect the children. So few of them that would not do more harm than good.
Please let this government fall before they fuck it up too badly, and the same to its successor. Delay is all we can do, and hope we can hold them off long enough for the utter stupidity of “age verification” systems to become obvious to even the politicians as its failure in e.g. the UK continues to play out.
Yeah. I live in one of those places were everyone else thinks it’s necessary to own a car.
I used to believe that owning a car was necessary.
At this point, after so many design updates, my tab bar is restyled with css, my window manager knows that the browser is always fullscreen and never gives it a title bar, except when it does but then it’s just the plain normal system one, all the extra toolbars and widgets that can be removed have been removed, and I absolutely never see the “new tab” page. I’m not going to care if the back/forward/reload buttons look slightly different. Here’s hoping I don’t even notice this one…
You’ll notice in the image above that web page content isn’t flush to the sides of the browser window, nor does it extend up to the tab bar. Instead, web content sits ‘framed’ within a rounded container
WTF Mozilla are you fucking kidding me
Sure it sucks as a currency, but it if you’re the only town doing it then it might work okay as a tourist attraction to draw in any remaining wealthy bitcoin enthusiasts.
You could do worse than starting with some Kropotkin.
I think you’d be better off if you’d done some reading first before forming opinions about it.
No. The less carbon that is added to the atmosphere, the less severe the damage will be. Economic collapse will only increase the motivation to rely on cheap and dirty fuels, not to mention the incentives to cut down all the trees and exterminate all the wildlife.
