Was that bullshit necessary, Mozilla? Well let's wait until they start fucking up Thunderbird, good bye then. Guess it's time to look into Librewolf and better bird again.
@serrebi Yeah, if I want AI I can have AI but I don't understand how they even remotely think anyone would find it useful if they force it and stuff it up my throat. And they can a 100 times say you can turn it off, it's effort, and I don't want it to be on my computer in the first place.
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.
Cette année, mes enfants ne savaient pas s'ils étaient trop grands pour un calendrier de l'#avent. Ma fille en a voulu un, mon fils ne savait pas trop. Je lui ai finalement pris un ensemble de petits objets que j'ai moi-même mis dans les pochettes d'un calendrier Père-Noël en tissu. Et donc tous les jours de décembre, je vais le voir "Alors y'avait quoi aujourd'hui ? Montre !". Je crois que je le soule... En plus il est en voyage scolaire depuis samedi, je tiens plus, je veux savoir
@menelion C'est l'adolescence, ils hésitent, pensent qu'ils doivent abandonner quelques trucs de l'enfance pour grandir. À nous de leur expliquer que c'est pas indispensable...
I have been under distress lately due to personal circumstances that are outside my control. I cannot find a permanent job that allows me to function, I am not eligible for government benefits, my grant proposals to work on free and open-source proje…
Attached is a recording from about 1904 of the Columbia Quartet singing O Come All Ye Faithful. naturally the quality of this recording is ... not good, but this is still a very pretty version of the song.
Honestly I can't wait to move out. Nope, for nothing you might think the typical teenager would want that. Simply so I have complete control over the network. This internet situation kills me. We have this stupid DSL connection we probably pay way to much for for the fact the landline is broken at this point and should honestly just be turned of anyway, we have a stupid FritzBox which, is dumb. And here's the thing, LAN doesn't feel like LAN. The speed my FirtzBox shows can never be reached anyhow, I don't even have a clue how much speed we're paying for... And slowly my desk is getting to small for all these experiments. Just got a switch to extend the one LAN cable that goes into my room to also connect the Raspberry Pi to have somewhat faster internet. It worked, sort of, I guess.
At least according to that FritzBox, we have quite the best DSL you can get. I mean let's not mention LAN is basically useless with DSL imo, like the WiFi is almost as good, which is frustrating. But fuck just give me fiver already and save me from that 1900 tech.
The curl project moved over its source code hosting to GitHub in March 2010, but we kept the main bug tracker running like before - on Sourceforge. It took us a few years, but in 2015 we finally ditched the Sourceforge version fully.
In other depressing IoT news, iRobot, the maker of the popular Roomba vacuums, files for bankruptcy and sells itself to Chinese company. Hello cameras and mics in bajillions of homes.
https://www.cbsnews.
The rhetoric "Bad, iRobot is now owned by Chinese" is racist.
- It's not like the US has privacy protection / safeguard for what the robot record / store - It's not like the US is a democracy anymore - It's not like it was made in USA either. Actually the new owner is also the manufacturer.

No problem at all. also let me know if I can be of assistance. I may have some free time over the weekend if you nee dhelp setting stuf fup or have tech questions.
@lerven Yes, I will gladly take you up on that offer. We ran into a problem where apparently we were showing no visuals, and I did the exact same thing on a test last night and there was visual, so I'm not sure what's going on with it.
There are a few reasons for that. Sometimes OBS doesn't remember the correct window. I had tha tissue with Rimworld last weekend, and it was super frustrating.
My coworkers were surprised when a client was irritated that we asked him to check if an interface is accessible, but I thought it was entirely justifiable since the burden of #accessibility testing shouldn't be placed on folks with a #disability.
It should not be. We usually do that, and most of us are happy to assist, especially if we have some expertise, but yes, the client was right… I mean, *had* right to be irritated.
Well, the problem was mostly with our phrasing of the request. We were not asking him to check if an interface was quantifiably accessible as much as whether the interface was comparably easier for them to use with a screenreader than other options.
Pensaba que entendía las bases de la álgebra lineal (vectores, matrices). Pero me he puesto a ver las fundaciones, las propiedades de un espacio vectorial, y resulta que no. Aprender es bueno.
Aunque a veces te encuentrass con cosas como, "El espaceio vectorial formado por las funciones que mapean los números reales consigo mismos constituye un espacio de infinitas dimensiones." Y bueno, ahí la intuición geométrica se va un poco a tomar por el culo.
Pero el tema parece ser que te puedes montar un espacio vectorial con cualquier campo que se comporte bien con una adición y multiplicación, y las funciones hacen eso.
@yo Efectivamente, pero lo que me suele costar más es entender casos en los que no se usan matrices o vectores al uso porque el campo es una cosa más extraña. Por ejemplo los polinomios forman un espacio vectorial. O las fórmulas proposicionales (hasta equivalencia lógica) con xor como suma y and como producto forman un anillo abeliano, que te permite montar un espacio vectorial con {0,1} como escalares en GF(2). Es la álgebra Lindenbaum-Tarski.
Cuando las cosas tienen "forma" de matriz o vector ahí por lo menos es menos abstracto.
jejeje, estudié GFs en la universidad, y me sonaba alguna perversión de operar con polinomios mediante matrices, pero no recuerdo lo suficiente como para ser útil.
Pero bueno, ¿no es uno de los principios matemáticos que "todo es lo mismo"? Todo es una matriz, todo es una función, todo es un anillo... ¡el "si tengo un martillo todo son clavos" definitivo!
@yo Sí, la verdad es que es una cosa que me gusta y a la vez me exaspera un poco, porque de repente te das cuenta de que algo que estabas haciendo de una forma complicada e ineficiente se puede hacer de otra manera si concibes la estructura de otra forma.
En fin, llevo unos 4 meses desde que decidí a volver a estudiar un poco en serio, así que tampoco he llegado muy allá. Y cada vez que me intento orientar, hay más cosas interesantes pero todavía fuera de mi alcance: análisis funcional, lógica algebraica abstracta, el operador Leibniz... Por lo menos ahora vagamente sé de que va el tema, aunque todavía no estoy en situación de aprenderlo.
I need help from someone at #Microsoft or with contacts at Microsoft. I have quite a complicated question about Microsoft 365 billing. TL;DR: I'm changing the country of the subscription and don't want to lose my data. I have two solutions in mind but I'd like a suggestion from someone knowledgeable. I tried contacting tech support, but didn't go through the first line, and people at the first line… are not that experienced, at least, the person I talked with. Thanks!
Bloody hell #FreeBSD, why do you have to rebuild LLVM/clang every. single. time? Despite WITHOUT_CLEAN? Three changed files. None of them compiler-related.
And the docs I can find on meta mode don't work. Like at all. "No such target: buildworld"
Mozilla just named Anthony Enzor-DeMeo as their new CEO. He says:
“Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”
This might be the point in time where a successful project – #Mozilla – may need to be forked by the community (especially developers) into a new, unenshittified reimagination.
It's worked with LibreOffice (previousloy OpenOffice), MariaDB (previously MySQL), Valkey (Redis), ... and many more.
I have hopes that the recent turn of events won't kill the former browser of common sense. There's hope it'll become a 'PhoenizillaFromTheAshes' to arise without #enshittification.
Let's support a world with less #GenAI/#LLM and other shit in it, which is harmful to society, mental health, democracy as well as our environment.
Hey #Mozilla! Since you're hell-bent on shoving AI down the throats of #Firefox users. Maybe you should have reeeaallly doubled down and chosen an AI agent as your new CEO? C'mon I dare you! 😈
- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year - Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate") - Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma") - Is all-in on AI
That’s exactly the kind of bingo profile the whole community has been waiting for.
Newspapers really are bad at their job. I work at two libraries. One hasn't received the Sunday paper in like a month despite paying for it and reporting that problem each Sunday & Monday. The other hasn't received any papers in over a month because of an invoicing problem, the phone number on the invoice is disconnected, the consumer facing customer support says "that's not an account" and they don't respond to emails to the email they specifically tell you to email. My most recent email subject is "please let me pay you". Maybe I should contact the reporters to see if they'd run a story on this?
You’ve got to admire the attention to detail that the Harry Potter audible cast auditions have gone to, the car that Harry and Ron fly to Hogwarts does sound exactly like a light blue Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe
I've got to admire that you seem to be able to identify the color of a car by its sounds... but apart from that, I quite enjoyed the taste for detail in book 1 so far.

Nesplnitelná speciální prosba Dcera přišla s tím, že by se chtěla naučit #parkour - takový to skákání odevšud všude. Slíbil jsem, že využiju mocné síly asociálně sociální sítě #Fediverse, abych se poptal, jestli tu není někdo, kdo ho dělá a třeba by nám něco natočil (tutoriály a ukázky) na #VHSky
@MonaApp hi and thank you so much for this new version. I have a request. Could there be a setting to always expand the tab bar so that all of my tabs are showing at all times, just like it did in the previous version?
+1. The new tab bar is far less customisable, even if you don't make it scrollable in previous versions you could have more than 4 tabs. In Mona 7 you're limited to 4, and if you click more the other tabs you have open up into a small grid instead of a scrolling tab bar. If it's not possible to implement this with the new liquid glass design I'd honestly love an option to switch back because it's something I use extensively.
@stopka Já už myslel, že jsme navázali spolupráci i s @linuxdays. A on si tu svoji přednášku dal na Peertube Štěpán. Asi začnu dělat se svými přednáškami to samé.
@stopka Chtěl jsem si ji dát na svůj web, ale nechci tam cookie lišty ani závislost na googlu. Tak buď by tam byl jen odkaz, nebo si tam hodím vlastní přehrávač na vlastní peertube. 🤷
@stopka to je dobrý přístup. S videi z Vhsky.cz na vlastním webu by to asi bylo víc hraniční, ale myslím, že pořád obhajitelné bez cookie lišty. Cookies se tam používají jen k nezbytnému zajištění služby.
