- Comment on Inside Project Nova, Firefox's biggest redesign in years 11 hours ago:
“Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”
All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.
- Comment on Adobe modifies hosts file to detect whether Creative Cloud is installed 1 day ago:
I’m trying to think of legitimate reasons why an installer should be able to edit that file, and I can’t think of any. Seems like the OS should lock it down.

- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
It shouldn’t need to reveal DOB to any other party. At most there should be an API that returns a boolean indicating whether the user is a child. DOB is too much information.
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
It’s weird that this guy is pushing it with “it’s the law” justifications while claiming it’s so ineffective as to be harmless. Why not just do nothing? That would be even more ineffective at collecting users’ dates of birth. He seems oddly eager and strangely confident that all the steps he’s taking to comply preemptively won’t be misused in future.
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
Even if you give a false DOB, it could be one more weapon in the armory of trackers and fingerprinters.
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 2 weeks ago:
That’s not reassuring. It sounds like they don’t want home users to be able to get any router they could manage themselves.

- Comment on Former Prince Andrew Arrested in Britain Over Epstein Ties (Live Updates) 1 month ago:
Andrew doesn’t seem very smart, so they’d have a pretty good chance of tripping him up in questioning and getting him to incriminate others. But he has been arrested for handing over sensitive information (basically spying, or being a useful idiot for spies), so the questioning may not be about other things that went on with Epstein.
- Comment on AI is destroying open source, and it's not even good yet 1 month ago:
What’s different for Chinese manufacturers that means they wouldn’t make the same kinds of market decisions the big companies outside of China are making? Why would Chinese companies be more willing to sell to home users?

- Comment on Louis Rossmann spent the week using AI to get his repair business #1 on google - The Modern Internet Is a Joke 1 month ago:
Is Kagi really that much different? I used their free trial for a while and the results were very similar to what I’m used to on Duck Duck Go, so I just went back to that. Maybe I should try it again.
- Comment on Louis Rossmann spent the week using AI to get his repair business #1 on google - The Modern Internet Is a Joke 1 month ago:
Could this be turned into a business opportunity for someone to start a search engine prioritizing real websites that don’t sound like AI? It could carry some advertising or charge for a no-ads version. People would use it. What are the main obstacles that stop anyone doing this? Is it just this scale of the modern internet or the expense of training a model to downrank anything that smells like AI? Or is it that all the people who might provide initial funding are all-in on AI slop?
- Comment on The Transformative Power of the White ‘Race Traitor’ | From Schwerner and Goodman to Good and Pretti, white people putting themselves in harm’s way has helped galvanize Americans for justice. 1 month ago:
While Trump officials moved to sully their reputations, Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist who in 2022 dined with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago, characterized the pair as betraying their whiteness by standing up for immigrants of color. “We are outnumbered by nonwhites,” he said on his livestreaming show. “And you feel bad about this race traitor? That’s what they are. You feel bad about this lesbian poet and Alex Pretti, the male nurse? You feel sorry for these race traitors that laid down their life in defense of this scheme?”
Each time you think you know how disgusting these Nazis are, they prove themselves more disgusting still. And stupider.
