Yeah but now instead of using highly specialized language models to extract calendar information and explicitly create an appointment, it now uses a generalized model that gets it wrong more often than not. So it’s better (for investors).

Firefox main problem with profitability relevance. They need more people to get people to use their tools

So I just have two questions.

1. How does this get new users?
2. How does this help retention?

The only answer is it doesn’t and we don’t care because we’re going to cash out.

I’m not running away, I’ll still open Firefox tomorrow like yesterday because the browser landscape is terrible and the shadow of what Firefox was is still good.

But I’m looking for the disruptor because as questionable as a lot of the new smaller browsers are, there are people out there trying and it’s going to happen.

Cool.

And the best part is, if I set it to never I get the websites I was actually looking for.

Between the fact I’ve been using a date picker for ages in Firefox, the fact dates and times are hard, and the title of the issue that’s clearly a zombie issue. I’m surprised they were able to close it at all.

I mean yes but also credited as the inspiration to start YouTube so also the same as it ever was?

Protected from government censorship. Companies have strong protections allowing for controlling the speech on their platforms.

And if you asked Roberts he’d probably say since companies are people, as long as it’s used to protect conservatives they have protection for controlling their platforms speech as a 1st amendment right.

I agree. I’ve thought about it a lot and I still don’t have any sympathy for them after the harm they’ve caused. I see why it’s news worthy enough they might reverse it, and why it would be political speech.

But also I think they made the right choice to take it down. If blsky wants to be the better platform, it needs to be better. And not having an exception for this is the right thing.

That was kinda my point. If qt breaks them again and arch updates and links the new QT are they going to come after them too? The position OBS took on this originally seemed like an open source disaster. It sounds like they moderated to something reasonable and that’s great.

This whole thing has been kinda wild. Every Linux distro bundles obs linked against their own libraries. Because fedora did it in a flatpak it was suddenly a problem?

I get developers being frustrated by buggy downstream builds flooding their queue with useless reports. They ain’t got time for it and can’t do anything about it. But this is open source software and obs had a bad take on distributing it IMHO.

Glad fedora was able to talk it out with them.

"Man we really got trounced in that election "

“Yeah we should really work on our image”

“Yeah. Oh I know! You know how everyone hated that tik tok ban?”

“Yeah?”

“Well what if that, but more!”

“But people hated the ban…”

“Oh right, no, the movie industry is paying us to do this.”

“Oh why didn’t you just say so.”

This keeps getting better! Tell me more!

Nuclear though, never had a problem with excess heat at one of those. /s

Not a lawyer and haven’t seen the lawsuit but I’ve watched a lot of legal eagle and other lawyers and I suspect it’s not about them manipulating codes. I also doubt this is the sort of case trying to set a precedent in any legal sense.

Likely it’s just boring fraud because they deceived content creators and users with lies to make money.

A different company doing the same thing but being honest might be unethical and terrible but probably wouldn’t be sued.

It’s funny because it’s true.

But also av1 is open and widely available and based on Google’s vp9 so… Maybe it will work out.

All you have to do is use powershell. maybe the worst shell ever created. Though some of these AI enabled shells have me second guessing that opinion.

That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.

But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.

Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”

Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”

Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.

You think it’ll take that long? Seems optimistic.

Misread the summary to say data driven delusions and that seems accurate.

Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.

Though skimming the news around epic’s attempts to make a store, you “can” make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?

So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.

It’s almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they’ve created a market where they don’t have competition…
