I agree, but also Waterfox just generally has a more free/unmonitozed default and the AI stuff is just an example. It’s a one-time switch to Waterfox and it’ will forever turn off/on the stuff that you would otherwise have to do manually.

I think this is a poor mentality. You’re essentially giving in and increasing Google’s network effect, making privacy harder for everyone. Choosing to use a more private service where possible will shift the power slowly, and there’s really no downside with email. You can do this with a free tier, no money required until it’s worth it for yourself.

They eat bugs and stuff. Not spiders though, that’s a myth (unless they’re already dead maybe).

I would love to see this by county for more detail. My state has a different language than my county and I know the counties around me are different too

He argues that models will become commodity infrastructure and that innovation and pricing power will have to move up the stack.

The likely winners will be the companies that control software distribution and delivery – operating system vendors like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, and cloud service providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

Surely you mean Vaultwarden

That’s wild to me because they’re everywhere where I live. I wonder if they’re #2 in at least a few places, just barely not getting a spot

I’m suspicious that Honda is not on here. No way they don’t make the cut

the studies included 370 people with anxiety disorders and 342 people without anxiety … The clearest finding was an 8% average reduction in choline-containing compounds in the brains of people with anxiety disorders … Good dietary sources include eggs, salmon, meat, poultry, soybeans, and some cruciferous vegetables.

I’d love to see .source

Could be used for a lot of different tech and non tech things: open.source, linux.source, lifehacks.source, re.source

Great potential

I don’t know about this specifically, but Rust in general is fast and at least memory safe (which helps with general security but doesn’t guarantee it at by any means).

I also used Brave for quite a while and anecdotally it was quite fast. So in my personal experience the performance is good.

I don’t see it as a step towards bring google-like, personally. But who knows with FF these days

I thought the same thing until I used it, but now I get it. It’s just nicer and more fluid to use

I love this because I have the opposite problem. I hardly ever use the Fn keys and my old laptop had them as the “default” and I had to press an extra key to change the volume or brightness which annoyed the heck out of me

I feel for the devs/engineers who try to appease everyone

Original for anyone else curious

By consolidating its reserves in Paris and upgrading to modern-standard bars, France has made its gold safer to manage and easier to sell or trade internationally. The sale also demonstrates how central banks can capitalize on favorable market conditions and generate substantial profits

Rather than refining and transporting the old stock, the bank purchased an equivalent amount of new, compliant gold in Europe, which now sits in Paris alongside the rest of France’s reserves.

The overall size of France’s gold reserve, around 2,437 tons, remains the same.

Best argument from the article imo:

It’s a simple matter of screen real estate. Virtually every modern computer display is widescreen, which is to say it’s wider than it is tall. Websites and web apps, meanwhile, are practically always vertical experiences. Whether you’re on a 13-inch laptop or a 32-inch behemoth of a monitor, the space from top to bottom of your computer is more precious than the space from left to right.

Felt a little cherry-picked to me, here’s a map to judge for yourself

This looks fantastic! Great work.
