I feel like a significant amount of my friends would be caught by that too

And there are plenty of ways to mitigate that such as having a window in which cancelled subscriptions can be reinstated.

Making software and services awful because theoretically a bad user is going to misuse it is dumb, it’s the very core of enshittification.

I know it’s easy to see things that way but the reality is they’re people and if we went to move into a better future then we’re going to have to work out how to convince people to move forward with us.

It saddens me how many purportedly on the left seem to want nothing but conflict and violence. It feels like they’re working to try and make things worse simply so they can feel some foolish sense of pride at being right or play out some childish freedom fighter fantasy.

Think of the children being used to push an agenda that helps the very wealthy? Well I’ll be, what a totally new and not at all predictable move.

Ban all ai that aren’t owned by rich people, make open source impossible, restrict everything that might allow regular people to compete with the corporations - only then will you children be safe!

So it is just over extrapolated junk that doesn’t add anything to anything, good to know.

This is basic math, articles are written in one language but there are lots of languages they can be translated into so if a site written in English has a Spanish, french, and Portuguese version 75% of that counts as ai translated garbage - because apparently having stuff available to non English speakers is a bad thing now?

As for ‘poorly’ What’s their mechanism for determinng it? How much is well translated or are they just assuming it’s poor because it’s possible it could be? Likewise what percentage is human translated and how do they determine that? Or is it another assumption to fit their narrative?

Clickbait doomer nonsence.

The rest of the money goes into fighting for software freedom, developing infrastructure tools and other things they’re very open about.

Personally I don’t donate because I prefer to help small open source efforts where a little money makes a big difference, especially protects which I believe could help emerging open source communities grow or inspire more cc content. I’m glad Mozilla exist and that they get so much money from Google and donations

Maybe don’t come to technology subs if you hate tech news? I guess you’re just here for the Elon posts or something?

AliExpress bots have probably already read this comment and put together a ‘panic inducer top quality rechargeable usb frequency tweeter for wedding, birthday, sonic warfare, corporate and special event’ which you can buy for five dollars

Mozilla do spend a lot of money on software development, 220 million last year, out of total expenses of 425 million which came from a taking of 593 million of which 81% comes from Google.

But let’s be fair, if every bar and liquor store switched to selling meth and kids dad’s brought them their first meth on their twenty first birthday, weddings had a traditional opening the meth moment, etc then things would be a lot worse.

Yeah but looking out the window as your plane crashes isn’t going to change the fiery death that a system shutdown on a modern airliner will inevitably bring.

I get what you’re saying but a window is a structural trade off too, they’ve obviously done the testing and determined it’s a sensible design choice

Guy kills ten black people and Lemmy comments are all ‘yeah but death sentence and prison are wrong, maybe we should get him a nice job and somewhere to live, I’ll pop round to massage his feet once a week…’

Using SAF especially e fuels it could actually turn out to be a very environmentally sustainable mode of transport for long flights.

Plus if people flew to a sustainable resorts rather than take a cruse for example it’d be far better.

It’s really not, flying without looking out the window is very common especially for NASA and the USAF.

Oh gosh a noise the volume of a distant car door closing! Panic!

If we hadn’t wasted all our time and resources on wars and luxury yachts we probably would be

Probably be too busy in the garden looking at flowers, or too fascinated by the complexity of the emerging properties of neural networks and things.

Thanks yeah I’ve downloded it and there are loads of little quests, I’ll give it a try
