Yes. And copying does not equal stealing. While we're rambling about broken metaphors, pirates have to physically get you and threaten violence. Imagine if they just copied your car or newspaper instead, without breaking anything.
Is the Firefox snap perhaps on a spinning rust drive?

(I boot from SSD but have spinning rust for /home - so I can hear when Firefox is hammering the drive. It seems that any time it updates or fails to quit cleanly it thrashes the HD for maybe 10 to 20 seconds the first time I visit something like facebook or youtube.)

> I don't think the cybertruck is "pushing the human race forward" in any capacity

I suspect, It can have the iPhone effect on the car design the upcoming years. When it's radical enough, the boilerplate doesn't work and makes you ask the fundamental questions that boilerplate was keeping you from asking because it was good enough.

The answer might not necessarily be "Cybertruck", it can even be public transport but just the fact that it strays far away from the current state is enough to push humanity forward.

Isn't the solution to this problem to just distribute the source code. Let package maintainers worry about creating binaries for their distros.
I agree. With how much resources are invested into Android for offering an OS for consumers, desktop Linux distros using the freedesktop stack are missing out. It is not easy for distros to acknowledge the sunk cost.
And isn't AI suited for what you want? You can already ask ChatGPT to generate stories, structures for meaningful choices, rules for varied gameplay.

Everyone on RCS can fall back to MMS just fine

4-5 minutes is clearly insane, but Firefox in Ubuntu taking 10s of seconds for a fairly simple profile to start is why I went back to Debian after a few months of Ubuntu.
I'm really not swayed by "we must use this turd because the alternative is nothing". "Nothing", to me, is a technical challenge and a sign I should probably start writing the thing myself.

Yes, not everyone has the skill or time to do that, but it's also no reason to accept half-baked solutions that don't take the user's system resources into account. Compute may be cheap but it's still a resource we need to use wisely. Not everyone is running a system like the developer's Macbook Pros on 5GHz wifi hooked up to fiber.

> Mastodon is better in every way, so it's a net win.

Making easily disprovable statements is not the way to win people to your side.

Searchability is weaker. Login is all over the map. Links don't work. etc.

These are the standard problems with non-centralized software.

I really don't understand why Mastodon didn't use/create something like the "magnet" links used for torrents. That way, even if you lost the server, as long as you touched something that had the appropriate hashes, you can access the information.

I use Mastodon, but it is not better in every way.

You can get Firefox to open all the tabs you last had open when it starts up, this way you can close and open Firefox whenever you want, and you'll always be right back where you started.

This doesn't save the page state, so if you were filling in a form, you'll lose that information, but it does mean that wherever you reopen Firefox, you end up pretty much exactly where you were when you closed it.

I guess you'd still need to regularly close and reopen the browser as a whole (I do that at end of the day anyway when I turn my machine off), but it may be more convenient than losing state.
Millions of Cats is still really a great book, one I love reading to my kids :-)
The Apple ecosystem of platforms take steps forward all the time, and they do a pretty good job at keeping binary compatibility with releases decently well while they are at it. They partly do this by only shipping C, ObjC and Swift platform frameworks though.
Firefox keeps competing on the wrong things.

See ARC browser. It's developed by a minuscule team but what they do is turn the experience of browsing the web into pure smooth pleasure. They will never in a million years gather enough talent to outcompete the V8 engine, but what they can do is develop better user workflows to empower them.

Firefox could be such a workhorse of a browser. They could add so many features to make the lives of academics, researchers, journalists and professionals in general better. Who cares if it's a bit slower than Chrome if it allows to efficently write my article or keep together the sources for my thesis?
Session manager plugins solve this in my experience. It's a little annoying that FF doesn't already have this and you have to use a plugin for it, but only a little.
> just going off the numbers, the US has been contributing more military aid than all other countries combined

The US has given the most in absolute numbers, but that's mostly a result of the fact that the US is by far the richest nation in absolute numbers.

When you look at aid given to Ukraine as a percent of GDP [1] you won't find the US even in the top 10. Instead the biggest contributors are European nations that directly border Russia.

Thus I don't think it's accurate to characterize the European countries as dragging their heels. That's more of a Germany thing.

So wouldn't chrome have the same issue?
Arguably, Tolkien did say (in the Silmarillion) that orcs were corrupted elves, and then also said (in Unfinished Tales) that orcs were corrupted Wose. Then he also said that Saruman made orcs from corrupted Men.

Most plausibly, since there are numerous cases of different groups of orcs looking at least as different from one another as, say, Hobbits and Men and Wose and Dwarves, "orc" is just a term for any humanoid whose form has been corrupted by a Dark Lord.
Because I don't think Musk's collapse of society paranoia is something I would like to discuss. The designs says it, that's why I don't directly address the article.
> Firefox gets into the adblocker business

This would be an abysmal decision all around. Firefox doesn't have enough market share to command any sort of price for this, and selling ad-blocker access would immediately destroy all trust in Firefox as a product.

Look, business is about maximizing profits and minimizing costs. Business should absolutely not be looked to as an example of an entity that makes sane or suitable tech decisions over the long term. Their goals are different from everyday users, and both are different from power users and programmers.

Why should normies suffer through worse software than those that know what they're doing? Web-based "native apps" are that worse thing.
Fiction:

1) Betty Smith "A tree grows in Brooklyn". Maybe a bit too sentimental, but still very pleasant to read. Apparently this book was a WWII classic, but I never heard about it before.

2) Kazuo Ishiguro "An artist of the floating world". Maybe, not as strong as his other best two novels, but pretty interesting anyway.

3) Olga Tokarczuk "The Books of Jacob". An extremely long, but at the same time incredibly interesting book. It tells the complex story of a Jewish sect in Central Europe in the 18th century. It was a long read but it was definitely worth it.
Now I see it, thanks :-)
Not true. Not even humans have that level of manipulation. We employ humans despite the lack of these features.

That means these baseline features are 100% fully negotiable. They're negotiable all the time because we employ humans that DON'T have these features. Thus LLMs don't need the features either.

Either way, we don't understand LLMs well enough to even predict whether future modifications will or will not have the features you claim. Such a hardline claim that it will never "fully be there" is illogical. Nobody predicted that transformers could lead to LLMs, nobody can predict what LLMs will lead to.

Does anyone know what the SotA foss local demo of something like this is? I'd really like to try and understand first hand what the limitations are.
Yeah, I don't know about that. Most people for whom I know that, myself included, wrote their dissertations in Word. It's fine.

Yes, float placement in Word can be tricky. It can be tricky in latex too.

I'm not saying it's the ultimate tool for the job. I'm just saying it's fine. There are some things to look out for, particularly with figure placement. As there are with latex.

On the upside, you can use EndNote which is quite good, you can use comments and tracked changes, and wysiwyg is ultimately just the superior paradigm.

If you're telling some unsuspecting grad student that they need to write their thesis in latex, and they don't yet have experience in it and they don't have a massive amount of formulas to write, you're doing them a massive disservice.
I like the plugin approach for this.

I don’t have a need to efficiently write an article in a browser - or code within a browser which is more my thing. I have a dedicated IDE for that, and leave browsing to browsing.

Browsers imo should just be browsers and leave the end user applications to the web app developers, plugin developers, etc. So in that sense I’m happy with where they are, and very happy they are doing their own stuff rather than being another Chrome-based browser.
Palmer Luckey has a VTOL kamakaze drone startup. The video demos look impressive but it remains to be seen how effective they are in the field.

That being said, I'd rather we focus on peaceful endeavors that improve our quality of life, instead of on destroying things. That's a billionaire managerial class game, IMO. Make people dependent on the system so pleasing the managerial class becomes more important to survival. If history isba guide, this system will only last as long as the imperial order remains intact. There are many long term domestic & geopolitical pressures on the imperium & I would not be surprised if it collapses within my lifetime.

Some of the people in that 2005 discussion got it: 6502 is neither RISC nor CISC, it predates either concept.

It's an impoverished instruction set, trying to get the most utility possible out of a very limited number of transistors that you could fit on a chip at the time.

Early mainframes (pre IBM 360) and minicomputers (DEC PDP-8, DG Nova) were designed under similar constraints and were similarly quirky and hard to use effectively. They also tended to have very poor code density which, combined with small memory sizes, made things such as bytecode interpreters and threaded code popular, despite the order of magnitude (or more) slowdown that imposed on already slow machines.

It is interesting to contrast the 6502 with the earlier 6800 designed by many of the same people in their previous job. The 6800 is in fact much more RISC-like, with a very regular instruction set, and addressing modes no more complex than 16 bit index register plus 8 bit offset, which is very familiar to anyone working with modern ISAs such as RISC-V.

The problem the 6800 has is that there is only one register that can be used as a pointer, which means something as simple as a memcpy or adding elements from two arrays together requires you to load the single index register from memory, use it to access the data, increment it (probably), and write it back to memory. All this taking 18 cycles and 7 bytes of code. And then do the same with the destination (or other source) pointer.

The 6502 on the other hand uses its indirect addressing modes to allow you to directly work with up to 128 16 bit pointers stored in Zero Page. And if you're accessing the same elements in each array/string then you can use the Y register as an offset for all of them, and only have to INY to step between them -- and check for Y wrapping if the arrays are larger than 256 bytes.

Loading a byte from one array, storing it to another, and bumping Y takes 5 bytes of code and 13-14 cycles in total on 6502, vs 14 bytes of code and 36 cycles on the 6800.

Also the 6800's 2nd accumulator, B, gets very little use, and mostly as a loop counter which makes most of the instructions that can operate on it a waste of opcode space and silicon.

The 6502 is really quite ugly and complex in comparison to the 6800, but it is much more effective in its use of code bytes, memory cycles, and transistors.

The Z80 is amazingly very comparable overall to the 6502 in code density and use of memory cycles, despite a very different design, but uses twice as many transistors. The 8080 also uses more transistors than the 6502, while being quite a bit less effective than the Z80 or 6502.

I wouldn’t bet on that last sentence. The leaders were about 100x more mature then than the ones we will likely have at the time we are next faced with an existential threat (meaning 1-10 years from now likely). Everything is a meme and a joke and a way to score political points. If a politician thinks they can own the libs / stick it to the filthy republican right by causing/allowing the global system collapse into complete chaos, they’ll happily do it.

Now, they’ll regret it instantly as they suddenly notice how everything they take for granted is suddenly not true (imagine if, thanks to abdicating naval superiority, sea transport becomes nearly impossible thanks to rampant piracy). But it’s not guaranteed that things can be undone.
Does this only build Windows applications, or can it do the same for MacOS/Linux?

be great if you could build/package python code easily to run on native OS's without having the user install python, etc first.
People with actual design education created macOS and Windows 11. Both of which strip back features in the name of design purity.

I see KDE more like a professional piece of equipment. And when viewed through that lens, I think it’s designed rather well.
That's literally his job.
I think it could be beneficial because it would be easier for those who wish to pay. They would not have to do extra step looking for that opportunity.

I personally do not like (in soft words) when button says one thing and delivers something else. So I think renaming Download into ‘Download options’ were you give choice download ‘ free’, ‘donate’, ‘pay for pro’ etc as you like is acceptable and feels good enough. I do not see why in that case it should reduce number of downloads but every prediction is always a prediction and nothing is better then the real life test.
The trouble is you're trying to distribute it as a binary yourself. The there are two traditional ways for distributing software for Linux:

1) The system package manager. It will download a binary from the repository which is the right one for that system.

2) make && make install. This is mostly for software in development that hasn't made it into the package manager yet. It will compile from source and produce a binary for the target system.

All the problems are from people trying to do something other than this.
I'd pay more for credible privacy. You'd think this could support a small business, even assuming there's no angle for a grand VC-funded startup. (Yes, easy for me to say.)

Nebula actually did use to let you download your data and tell them to delete it. When I was looking last year, though, they'd moved to some new model (which I assume this post was about).
Firefox is great! It is my daily driver. However a lot of small things irritate me. For example, make Firefox fullscreen and open a long page. Move your mouse to the far right of the page and drag down. The page will not scroll. You need to carefully put your mouse on the tiny scrollbar to make it work. Chrome, Safari on the other hand work as expected.
It works a treat on those other operating systems and pairs well with pyinstaller to make a single executable.
