No, I don't think Zen Browser is "the Internet's favorite browser". I think it is very popular among a very small part of the Linux community that you happen to follow. (This post is brough to you by "Hyperbole + Thumbnail = views") #Firefox #ZenBrowser #Gnome #Linux

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Weird; everything is anti-capitalist and anti-enshittification, and then suddenly there's a bullshit thing about "taxes and socialism bad" (or something?) at the end? Not making sense.

The one thing I agree with Torvalds about is this: "Linux isn't a "social warrior" project". I have been arguing this for years, and people have yelled at me because they think that Linus created the kernel for ideological reasons when that NEVER HAPPENED. That is other people who have imposed their own ideology on someone that has never shared their view; Linus created Linux because he was poor, not because he believed in "free as in freedom". #Linux #AI #Tech #LinusTorvalds

Bought a new TV today for the first time in 17 years.

Forgot why I HATE modern TVs. Smart TVs have the worst UIs of any device in the history of mankind.

@alda this reminds me of some tech column I read which argued that the reason Microsoft higher-ups are so in love with integrating LLMs in Windows is simply that after the founders left, nobody at the top understands how an operating system works and want Clippy 2.0 to hold their hand 100% of the time.

@rachaelspooky@cyberpunk.lol Never understood the need to abandon Firefox for Librewolf tbh. (Plus it's not available on Android, and since I use the sync feature extensively...) Also while Firefox is already fighting for it's life as the last browser people know about that isn't Chrome, it seems weird to cause them harm by jumping to a fork.

@slothrop See also loot boxes in games. The 2010s were a wild ride until courts stepped in and at least forced companies to put in barriers for real money purchases; the court case where a father sued Electronic Arts over his son's 10 000 pounds (I think it was) purchases for FIFA did have some results.

Oh wow. My Reddit account got a warning for threatening violence... when talking about a fictional character in an RPG where you literally shoot the character (it's a quest where you are tasked with an actual assassination).

The price of AI moderation I guess...

Living outside the former Roman Empire is always interesting when people who come from regions that were inside the Empire does history documentaries.

"The Fall Of The Roman Empire was a DISASTER" ... Yeah? have you asked the Goths about that? I think they were pretty damn happy. As for us up here in Scandinavia, we barely noticed. The guys we traded with still spoke the same languages, still traded the same goods, but maybe they didn't wear Roman sandals anymore?

@angiebaby@mas.to Trackers is the thing, really. Like if a small site I like asks me to disable my adblocker to view their unintrusive ads? Cool. Problem of course is that despite me doing this their page still insists I have an ad blocker active because my browser's built in TRACKER protection is still on. Because the tracker is the important part for the ad company, not their banner ad up in the corner.
