Yeah what a wasted opportunity which is very typical for Firefox

European countries already have a lot of open source software grants tho can you imagine if all thay money that goes to Microsoft and co would go to open source? That’d be crazy.

I’m a full stack dev as well and contemporary software is really not that hard given proper funding and structure. There’s nothing open source can’t replace.

Ive been using PWAsForFirefox for couple of years now and it’s pretty good tho a bit clunky at times as firefox updates tend to break some settings.

And reading through this article seems like I’ll be sticking with PWAsForFirefox:

web apps in Firefox will not use a minimal browser frame and will continue to show a main toolbar with address bar, extensions, bookmarks – though the ‘new tab’ button will be replaced with a button to open a normal Firefox window.

Lame.

I disagree.

All bots and astroturfers had no problem getting 500 karma or whatever with one /r/funny repost. Which just meant new users can’t contribute and every subreddit is left with power users and trolls.

This would be even easier to game on Lemmy as it’s much more open and federated so getting 500 karma by a bot would be super easy.

The only reliable way to moderate is manual review with technical fingerprint. I work in online fraud detection.

It’s still longer distance than cellular and it can get even better. Cell towers will always win.

It’s different tech that doesn’t suffer from starlink’s latency issues.

I’ve recently started to blindly learn instruments without any tutorials just basic overview and it’s so much more fun! It’s like playing video games without wikis and guides - great if youre not in a rush anywhere

I’d like to hear their attempt at explaining how that would be unethical

Best part of having hobbies is that you don’t need to be good!

Idiocracy is at least more entertaining

He’s right tho. China don’t care. You think the west will be able to outcompete China with such limitations?

And the end result is the same, no one was compensated and a dictatorship is running one of the most important new IT tools.

Oof

And my OP clearly stated that sat has uses but it’s compleyely overhyped otherwise. So I’m not sure what are you even talking about here if not just goal post moving.

How are satellites better if they will never be faster? Do we just accept life in 300ms latency? We will always need better communication so it makes no sense to invest into inferior product even if it’s more accessible currently.

Unless quantum communication becomes real thing nothing will match fiber and cell towers in the foreseeable future.

Sat is a fringe technology for war and extreme remote areas, everything else is already solved.

Seems like a skill issue tbh

It is AI in every sense of the word tho. Maybe you’re confusing it with LLM?

That is still AI though…

Good luck? Most of the world is already there. I had 3g in deep jungles of Thailand last weekend and even in the most remote places in China have wire these days.

The main point is that sat is limited by physics so cell towers and wire are upgrades over sat so it makes much more sense to start with better technology now as we’ll never need less connection.
