So you don’t know what you’re talking about any more than I do and there is nothing I can learn from you. Why didn’t you say so in the first place instead of wasting my time?

Why do you think I’m sure? Do questions assert certainty?

You write as if you know what happened and why Welsh is dying out. Answer the questions then instead of whatever moral grandstanding you’re doing.

How long have Welsh people have internet? How many Welsh people have and had the means to archive the language, maybe even try and popularise it? How long was the Welsh government held back from (and probably they were) from teaching it a schools? Did nobody have the chance to create free, accessible Welsh courses for anybody to access? How many Welsh people that could speak it made an effort to teach their kids and others?

There are options to keep language alive. I can understand it being wiped out (many examples and ways to do so), but if it survives and the people speaking it don’t make an effort to spread it, modernise it, and adapt, then it is also self-inflicted. Look at the Baltic countries. Estonia tries to keep up with the times and allows the population to vote on Estonian words that should enter their dictionary instead of the anglicised ones.

Mozilla took big money and lost users due to focusing on money and keeping the status quo. Money is necessary, that is undeniable, but too much money is bad and I think the evidence is quite clear that this is one of those cases.

Of course the English banned it in school look up Welsh not.

Your rage made you a word. What?

I ask a fucking question?

Kinda self-inflicted isn’t it? Or did the UK ban Welsh at schools?

Lol, so because Anslopic train on proprietary and security sensitive data, it had to be blocked. I think that exposes the problems with how they retrieve their training material and where they get it from. Maybe the paid prompts which shouldn’t be used for training are being used after all? Who would’ve thought!

There are hundreds of millions of Firefox users? That can’t be right.

And Big Goo pays well, but at what cost? Has it really made Firefox better?

Good to know that the people in Mozilla are actually capable of leaving. What I don’t understand is why they don’t all leave together and get themselves leaders who actually care about Firefox instead of the dollars. I bet that if there was a big push by Mozilla employees to a new browser on top of Servo (as was originally the plan?), they joined whatever foundation Servo has, and they made a lot of noise about it, many people would be itching to move their donations over from Mozilla to OpenCollective.

Firefox lost users not only because Big Goo threw thousands of engineers at their own browser, but because they actively fucked up nearly everywhere they could. Sure, FF got faster and more stable and and and, but it also introduced a ton of crap nobody asked for. They also had random projects that had absolutely nothing to do with Firefox which just wasted their time and money.

I worked on desloppifying a codebase, but had to do with AI. This was a job. Spec driven development didn’t work on that project but targeted refactors did.

Setting up a project to work with AI is not easy, IMO. You need rules, and skills, and commands, and whatever else they call it in order to be productive, otherwise you spend your time fighting with the the AI.

You’re right to question 10x and 100x productivity gains. Those only exist if you’re not willing to look at the code. I’ve had people tell me “code isn’t important”, then run into issues, and ask me to help out. The code was indeed important. Therefore, how you use AI is the important part here.

Using AI to write the entire codebase is cute. It might get your project to MVP very quickly and then you have to hire somebody who knows what they’re doing to fix all the stuff in it. I would recommend using it in a targeted manner:

• ideation
• code analysis
• targeted refactors
• boilerplate
• mini features
• bug detection

As an example, connecting an AI to an MCP like Ghidra for working with decompiled binaries is impressive. You do have to stay on your toes all the time and verify what it says, but it changes the while experience.

Once you let it loose to make bigger changes, it will inevitably fuck up while spitting out reams of code at you. Reviewing all of that is the bottleneck because it requires Actual Intelligence. Using another Artificial I to review what the previous AI did is only useful for bug detection or exploit detection (in my experience). For architectural mistakes or clean code (whatever your perception of that is) has only lead to pain for me.

So yeah, not 100x, not 10x, but maybe 1.1-1.5x. More if you’re careless or don’t know what you’re doing and Just Want It To Work ™️.

They are right about what they wrote. Additionally, Euro-Office is developed on Microslop’s GitHub. I don’t know where libreoffice is developed.

I don’t know what kind of a GUI you’re building, but there are simpler options than Tauri out there. Slint comes to mind.

It is very possible, yes, but Proton has to wise up and stop falling the bullshit or stepping into it. Andy Yen said some really stupid stuff supporting Trump and the Republicans which killed my belief in the company. With him still at the helm, I don’t trust them.

All this new stuff doesn’t even bother me. There, they are reacting properly.

What does bother me is their technical claims of not being able to read your stuff, storing encrypted at rest, and so on, but nothing being opensource besides the clients. That bothers me a lot. So, I’m trying to use fully opensource options and self-hosting where I can.

Email is a lost cause. It just leaks too much data. Hopefully someday we’ll move away from it. If we can convince governments that email is an insecure means of communication, then maybe we can move the needle.

Welcome 🙂 We hope you continue enjoying it!

Proof ?

Edit: none, it seems

Pro: it’s GLOSS - Gratis Libre OSS.

Con: it’s run terribly. The Linux foundation could be doing a much better job. 1-2% of its funding go into the linux kernel.

Straight to jail.

As in email? You must be joking. They are the worst. Even for encryption they are bad. They leak metadata like crazy.

Matrix is a step up. Unless that’s what you mean by “mail server”.
