Firefox is not Chromium-based so this particular one is not related. As for Vivaldi they explicitly have not included any AI in the browser, and i just checked and it doesn't have this

That said, Firefox *IS* going all-in on the AI bug in their own way ("Our Torment Nexus will be Open Source and ethical!"), that's why i migrated to Librewolf, which strips off all these non-features, one of like 3 spinoffs that do similar things (the others were Zen Browser and Waterfox, Floorp went vibe-code, so save for that one any of the other 3 will serve you well enough and choosing one is a matter of taste)

Users: "Work on the goddamned browser instead of wasting time, effort and money on stupid AI!"
Mozilla: "Here's even more AI!"

I see things like these and I get severe mixed feelings, on one side this shitshow is a time bomb that will cause untold damage for many, many years, but on the other I always get a bit of weird relief of "Yes, it's not just me"

On Linux you can do exactly the same 0-byte file thing and remove write permissions for it, and if Chrome changes them back and overwrites it (probably won't but in case) you can just do it again AND change the owner to the root user (so that even your user won't be able to modify it), or worst case scenario do the "nuclear" option of making it immutable with "chattr +i", almost nothing ever reverts this
Of course the best choice is always to abandon the Chrome spyware

Considering my luck at dice when playing wargames which use D20s I'm quite unsure, it could ALWAYS be worse 😅

Years ago someone made an Imperial Guard guardsman version of that guy as an STL, but it disappeared shortly before i could get it, i imagine the GW Legal Ninja got to it, but we need multiple versions of it for many settings. I do know there used to be (maybe it's still available) a version of him that was Brent from Goobertown, he made a video about it 😂

Earlier saw a mention that the System76 person is fighting for a FOSS excemption on the California bill, if that succeeds and becomes a precedent this would be only for commercial OSs, although even that is bad

I think they should consider setting up an Anubis proxy or something that does a similar thing, i mean, even the United Nations uses it: https://xeiaso.net/notes/2025/anubis-works/

I predict this will split Fedi in two, then the connected half will be fagocited by Facebook, the split half will likely never recover again, so yeah, servers will continue to be up but the Fedi will be dead

In my defense i didn't knew better at first, and once i did i stopped and so did a huge majority of nerds i know, we do have the right to fuck up and correct our steps. And there's just no freaking way I'll ever trust Zuckerberg! Maybe if i got some form of brain damage or something i guess, otherwise it's not happening.

The problem is that these days it's not easy to distinguish them at a glance, Google Glass were *easy* to spot, but these aren't
