I thought Mozilla lost the google funding in the monopoly ruling?

I feel like this video touched some larger philosophical points about technological progress. It’s to work and create with restraints. If there are no limitations you end up with an unfocused mess.

I wish we applied the amount of scrutiny seen here to actual billionaires.

I think it will be the last one I run as well. I’ve always gotten grumpy with updating my OS since XP. I skipped Vista and 8 entirely. So I went XP > 7 > 10. I tried out Cachy OS and it works great. Did I have to go in the terminal at times? Absolutely but I have to go into the command line in windows sometimes too. Only thing keeping me in Windows at the moment is some windows only software and hardware drivers.

Headline should be: Person sneaks example of vagrant copyright infringement on a scale not previously seen into National Museum Cardiff gallery.

What alt front ends are there? How would you bypass the age check? Back in the day I didn’t have an account and you could get around it using third party sites but those don’t work anymore as far as I know.

AI increases my power utility bill
AI takes my water
AI increases the price of GPUs
AI increases the price of RAM
AI makes my search results worse and slower
AI is inserted into every website, app, program, and service making them all worse

All so businesses and companies can increase productivity, reduce staff, and then turn around and increase prices to customers.

Calling Project 78 insane is a bit much.

They added AI which I thought was one of the main points of using an alternative search engine so you could get away from that nonsense?

I have a 55 inch plasma TV and that thing is massive. When I bought it, it was larger than I wanted to get. I don’t get why people are shoving these massive screens in their living room to watch the nightly news.

If you aren’t sitting pretty close to a giant screen there isn’t a discernable difference. People are just buying into marketing because there has to be something new to make you buy all your stuff over again.

Forcing users to ditch WIndows 10? I can’t help but feel like this is a giant media campaign by microsoft to make people switch to Win 11. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. I can still use Windows XP if I want to.

Reddits search function was so bad it spawned an entire industry.

Can we tax rich people instead of listening to them say stupid shit?

The issue I feel, is we live in a society that equates money with importance. This guy over here made lots of money so he must be smart right? No, no it doesn’t.

The headline should be Stop Talking to Technology Executives, Tax Them.

I’ve been in a permanent state of alarm for months now. I have anxiety and a weird twitch in my eye. Why aren’t our politicians and news orgs alarmed?

This article and also this one at https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250306-inside-youtubes-hidden-world-of-forgotten-videos were interesting reads. It would be nice if they offered some pointers on how to better find this stuff.

The rules only apply to low paid employees. You bet your ass a regular federal employee could still be fired for receiving a free lunch.

Could be, possibly, maybe, if it works, if its reliable, we hope, if its affordable that it could change how people use glasses.

I’ve been enjoying CachyOS as well. I haven’t gone digging into documentation too much but when I search I typically end up on Arch related forums. Chatgpt helps a lot too.

I would dual boot first. I’m doing that myself at the moment with Pop OS. I disconnected my existing drives leaving just the drive I’d install Linux to. Ran the installer, then reconnected. I hit f12 at boot to select startup. I did this to avoid dealing with grub or messing with the windows bootloader. I haven’t had good experiences with it in the past.

My biggest problem with trying Linux at the moment is I have a USB audio mixer that Linux refuses to enable. I can tell it sees it, it just won’t list it as a selectable audio device or send audio through to it. So I have no sound.
