Interesting what this guy and Elon Musk have in common…

Easier to have ambition when you’re not using it.

I’m curious why you’d consider it a good conversation if this was the result. Clearly it wasn’t for them.

The vegan community recommended people to move to Lemmy.ml or hexbear 🤦

Funnily enough, the reason they switched to those was to use the data to train machine learning (AI) models, just like Google’s recaptcha was originally pictures of words from old, scanned books so they could transcribe all of them “for free” and train their transcription algorithms.

Wonder if the recent antitrust ruling about Google paying for being the default search engine will affect Mozilla’s funding.

Despite what others have mentioned, running a different LLM locally, it’s also possible to get ChatGPT to do this sort of stuff by telling it to participate in a “debate exercise” and giving it its talking points.

No, they’ll just see the management summary that Firefox occupies less than 0.5% of their users’ marketshare and prioritize their budget accordingly.

If you use a third-party analytics service such as Google Analytics, as almost all serious parties do (with their nice dashboards and reports), then you’ll notice Firefox is severely underrepresented because the request never reaches Google

Also, Firefox is in a tough situation where they have to purposefully shoot themselves in the foot, because their builtin tracking protection means Firefox usually doesn’t show up in a lot of browser usage stats.

That is patently false. It was developed to help develop the Linux kernel, which famously has multiple decentralized repositories managed by different maintainers.

The fact that most companies use it in a way you describe, with only one central repository, does not mean that git is not distributed.

Please point out the actual transphobia? You can’t just use that word willy-nilly.

So you’re always behind, patching up small bits of code that don’t comply with your guidelines, while letting big changes with, by deduction, worse code quality through?

You don’t quite understand. One of the major drawbacks of UUIDs over monotonically increasing id’s is the lack of ability to sort them. Not just for manual querying, but for index operations, caching, data locality etc.

It’s very handy and is a big part of the reason why Twitter developed Snowflake IDs, which are basically like UUIDs v6 and v7.

The UUIDs specs are quite easy to understand and definitely not “enterprisey”.

They chose “version” because they are just that, versions. Improvements over the original design that benefit from new insights and technological improvements. We’re lucky they had the foresight to include a version number in the spec.

A lot of people in this thread who don’t fully understand how UUIDs work…

What a weird set of events. It’s not even clear what was actually used as infection method.

Welp, this is the most left field KilledByGoogle entry yet.

Maybe they should pretend it’s right next to the WMDs. I’m sure they’ll find it then.

Fuck me, ten years already?

Oh no! Anyway…
