Took me a moment

I enjoyed this so much more as it was at 24 upvotes when I came upon it. Just barely qualifies for plural of dozen.

The only important topic.

I don’t fucking care about peeling paint and aelge, or the world cup, or the heat wave (unless we’re talking climate action).

Thank you for using your influence to send this message, and for beautifully putting into words what we all feel.

Not a meltdown at all. Calmly spoken nonsense. Title is clickbait. There, I’ve slammed them.

No no no! The “show all posts in reverse chronological order” cannot be a description of an outcome; it is phrased as a request or a command. The outcome description would be “posts get shown in reverse chronological order”! Also there is no way to show all posts, that’s not really possible with finite resources.

Unless you were thinking of an algorithm that prints out text “show all posts in reverse chronological order”, then you are completely right in that being the outcome.

Article is fluff, just read the source of info: https://www.firefox.com/en-US/whatsnext/

I like built in ad blocking and further privacy protection. I’d like to see more of it, to firmly establish where firefox stands in the big tech war against personal freedom.

Unpopular opinion - for me Firefox is a joy to use. I appreciate that we still have a strong alternative to web monopoly. Sure things could be better but when was this not true? I’ve used it for many many years and there’s nothing on the horizon that I would consider as alternative.

I spent few years using it professionally and mentoring others, but never felt comfortable with it. Small eternities spent fighting the language constructs and solving typing puzzles. My take away is that I could just barely fit the C++ in my head and then there’s no room for anything else. I’m done with it for good.

Flags didn’t do much for us so far.

Being in “this is obviously wrong” category, I have no choice but to downvote this.

I sense a story? Tell us more, why’d you get it and then remove it?

Not kind at all!

Do it to have a laugh but don’t kid yourself this will change anything. Your time is limited and precious, the machine can scale beyond our comprehension. It doesn’t feel and can’t be humiliated or humbled.

It’s not even about skill atrophy, it’s more subtle. You can quickly relearn forgotten skills.

Unlearning a habit, on the other hand, is much harder. If you get into habit of reaching for AI anytime something hard needs to get done it’s going to wreck your internal motivation and reward system. meme_historian describes it really well in this thread, I noticed the same thing happening to me.
