Not in the browser. From web pages sure, but it sure as hell sounds like they’re going to shove ads in the browser like MS has been testing in the start menu. Once that starts who knows, maybe they’ll have their own little Chrome manifest v3 rollout that breaks adblocking for webpages too.

Based on this and the past year of “mistakes” it’s sure looking more and more like they’re trying to push ahead on the enshittification path.

If they’re so desperate to find other sources of income why does the Mozilla CEO not take a pay cut out of that 10 million/year

Organized Religion is just cancer at this point

We’re going to explore doing so in an organic method across our products using the methodology that big tech is generating money, but with a Mozilla spin.

Hm yes, the “we’re built different so we won’t be affected by enshittification” option

that support advertising in clients (Firefox, MDN, Pocket, Fakespot, etc)

Ah, the “Mozilla Spin” is to put fucking ads in Firefox, got it.

Pretty neat, crazy how good AI speech is getting.

Don’t worry about the downvotes, posting AI stuffs outside of AI communities catches the anti-AI folks attention real quick around here. They love to rail against anyone using AI, not just the giant corpos like they should lol.

Gaming is one thing, a lot is GPU bound anyways, probably the same with “physical modeling”

But you cannot tell me your “data processing” would not be greatly sped up by using a newer proc (assuming it’s not also GPU bound). Does it work, sure, but if it takes you 2 hours for it to process now but <30 minutes on something newer that’s just a waste of time, resources and money. It’s incredibly inefficient.

On the flip side, if all your work is GPU bound no wonder a 3rd gen proc from 2012 is keeping up lol

The R5 2600 is not only newer than my old i5 and faster, it also has a LOT more threads (12 vs 4) and an extra 2 full cores

Making it excellent for the multi threaded workloads (VMs) and leaving room for non-multithreaded optimized workloads

I have an RTSP client program running all the time displaying a handful of camera feeds. It had a ~45-55% average CPU usage even with GPU decoding/encoding enabled on it.

That same piece of software on my much newer 7600 changing absolutely nothing else software wise (I just dropped in the SSD from my old build) that same software barely cracks 5%

iCUE (for Corsair RGB control (yes I know there’s open source versions I just never got around to it lol)) had a similar story with ~30-40% before and barely 4% now

That’s why they have door to door salesman now, they’re getting desperate lol

Looking at you, Samsung

*Samshit or Samsuck whichever lol

Motorola Backflip FTW!

bad battery bloat

We call that a “Spicy Pillow” sir

The enshittification warning signs are going off everywhere, Mozilla is being corrupted before our very eyes. Now is not the time to hand wave it away.

Keep an eye out for Oct 12 though! According to the roadmap that’s when 10.10 is due out, I believe it’s already entered feature freeze

Still working for me

I was a subscriber for like a year, man that was a wild ride lmao yea I knew it was too good to be true for long, but I rode that train till the card started declining lol

I saw more movies at the theater than ever or since in my life during this time, I legit ran out of movies to watch and had to re-watch many lolol

I called it months ago with the whole Russia fiasco and then reiterated with the whole ad company buy out fiasco. Downvoted both times.

Mozilla is on a path of enshittification and from what I see the “safeguards” that were put in place to prevent enshittification of FF are eroding

ChatGPT 4o:

Trump’s statement seems to convey a rambling attempt at explaining the moral influence of religion. He’s essentially saying that religion motivates people to be good because of the belief in an afterlife (heaven). Without that belief, he suggests, people might wonder why they should behave well at all. He struggles to articulate the idea clearly, repeatedly circling back to the notion that the promise of heaven is a reason to be good.

In simpler terms, he seems to be saying: Religion gives people a reason to strive for goodness because it offers the reward of heaven. Without that, people might question why they should bother being good.

o1-preview (the fancy dancy reasoning one):

Certainly! In this statement, Donald Trump is emphasizing the importance of religion in promoting moral behavior. He suggests that religion gives people a reason to be good because it introduces the concept of heaven as a reward for good deeds. Without the belief in heaven or an afterlife, he implies that people might question the purpose of being good and could potentially disregard moral standards. Essentially, he’s arguing that religion and the promise of heaven motivate individuals to behave ethically.

They still explode in some cases. Plenty of clips of li-ion not just catching fire but exploding similar to how a firework might explode.

I did not say they did, but they can explode violently

Shrapnel, no, but Lithium-Ion does explode. Especially on a full charge

It works well…when a parent makes an account for the express purpose of parental controls. The “issue” are the fake accounts (i.e. “finstas”) that the kids make themselves in which they lie about their age.

Also, side note, Googles child accounts work OK, I would not say they’ve got it on lock. Did you know if you get your kids a debit card and they’re under 13 Google will NOT allow them to add it as their own payment method no matter what consent I’m willing to give to them?

Yea, I had to do a parent sanctioned age-lie to Google so now Google thinks my kids are all 13+ just so I could do the extreme thing of teaching them money responsibilities in an age of digital transactions SMDH

Because they won’t need to figure stuff out on their own to the same degree.

Lol they will the second they get hit with that “you need to get parental consent” screen, that’s how it happened to us all.
