Firefox has a new CEO who is pivoting the project into being an “AI Browser”.

Baby steps.

All private ownership of land is deeply morally suspect. Nobody made that valley, someone was violent enough to make a claim stick. Usually several people, over a long period.

I got made fun of for crying when my grandfather died. Over 30 years ago. So I stopped.

You may just be having trouble with the idea that people can reasonably and seriously see the world from a point of view other than your own.

Or it’s all a bit!

Who can say? No matter how I answer it’s not really evidence, you can draw a 2x2 decision matrix here for both answers and both possibilities. All four outcomes are plausible. Choose the answer that makes you happiest.

People make real friends online. Who they don’t know in person. You’d be telling your child to toughen up and get new friends.

If I included a self destruct button beside the AC controls and claimed that it was driver error that was the problem, how credible would that be?

Bad drivers and shitty “self driving” are how the cars are unsafe.

No matter how it happens if they crash more often or have worse outcomes when they do, then they’re less safe.

… Why would I care if they miss me?

Why would I care about their opinions at all? I’m pretty sure we care about each other’s opinions about equally as is.

I think they’re being disingenuous, because the government has been spying on all of us via end runs around the rules like “five eyes” for decades. If they want to go all CIA on you they just ask an ally to do it, then return the favor and spy on the people of other governments for them. All legal and above board, it’s just “intelligence sharing”.

And the NSA isn’t even barred from monitoring you in the fist place.

I think it’s somewhat naive to assume anything isn’t being spied on by the NSA. They don’t have a history of being picky.

There’s no perfect system. Patches are not perfect and can add security holes. The old code is imperfect too, and if you do not patch those holes will remain. One needs to weigh the risks against each other. It’s an optimization problem.

If and when security is a primary objective, limiting patches to what’s necessary is a good idea. Best of both worlds.

No means no, Microsoft.

If we’re discussing what’s legal it’s 100% relevant. DMCA makes circumventing a digital lock a crime in the USA.

If we’re discussing what’s moral, then talk less. Nothing about the DMCA was moral.

What Federation is being Federal to you? If it’s the USA, overriding your property rights was the whole purpose of the DMCA.

Dead bodies are not people and don’t have rights. If there’s a harm done, it has to be to someone else. Like surviving relatives or something.

If you’re looking into that, it might be worth considering some of the Android portable like the AYN Thor.

While they are usually focused on console emulation, on the more powerful units you can run older windows titles on them via emulation as well as any native android stuff you feel like running. The battery life of anything ARM beats the hell out of anything x86. There are also form factors available worlds better than the Legion or Steamdeck if you actually want something you can carry around in a pocket.

The aforementioned AYN Thor is about the size and form factor of a 3DS and retails for $250 for the cheapest model. So if you’re looking for something to tide you over until you can get a full gaming PC/Gabecube/Steamdeck 2, it might be better “half measure” than a Legion or Steamdeck.

I think trying to make a dish that’s going to please more than 75% of the population is all fine and good, but I think as long as most people like it you’re fine.

It also has a 0% failure rate in live strikes on targets.

Legally, technically: no.

Philosophically, practically: if you believe it’s murder when you do it, you are a murderer mentally. You decided to kill a person, then followed through with it. And the first time is always the hardest.
