Brave and Opera are both forks of Chromium that incorporate upstream changes. Firefox is an entire browser.

Along comes a smooth talking con man

He has the best words.

I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.

That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.

Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.

In chats between humans, I agree that it’s near pointless to try to censor. In chats between humans and LLMs, I suspect you can get pretty far with regex or badwords.txt filtering. That said, I haven’t tried, so who knows.

Teach your kids to play music with cat /dev/fd0 >/dev/snd.

Sorry if I offended you? My point is just that it’s possible to make a crappy “is forbidden topic” classifier with a regular expression. Probably good enough to completely obliterate the topic in chats between humans and bots. Definitely good enough to claim you attempted to develop guardrails for vulnerable users.

We’re still interacting with LLMs through layers of classical software, which can be programmed to detect phrases related to suicide.

Do not give Bezos ideas about uploading brains to the cloud. He would make AWS CloudEmployee, an employee-as-a-service product that lets you scale your business up or down, without expensive layoffs and bad PR.

I am a weirdo and always get things backwards that the rest of the population has no trouble with.

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey made no sense when I was a kid because I focused on the bottom of the thing I was spinning instead of the top.

Same with the stove. Wtf is the “front” burner? I mapped the four burners to the four seats of a car in my head, and I thought the front burner would be the ones farther away from me. 🫨

The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether “swipe left” refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I’m looking at stuff that was previously on my right.

Maybe the procedure would fix whatever’s wrong with their brains. Like, maybe Trump would slowly regain the ability to form complete sentences. I’m imagining a Flowers for Algernon situation where he wakes up one day, reads his own Wikipedia page, and is briefly ashamed before the non-neural parts of his body crap out.

Yes, please focus on the Global Dryness problem first. I must be wet at all times.

Oops

It’s not a failure of the web, it’s a failure of corporations to accept their place as just a tab in my browser. It’s also easier to track users, exploit vulnerabilities, etc. from within a mobile app.

Yeah, there really should be some expectation of stewardship in exchange for absurd post-Disney copyright durations.

Oh, so we’re playing street ball now.

Except SIZE_MAX I suppose 🙄

Lol not as original as I thought!

How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of “Windows” again.

Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:

• Kablam!
• Telefenestra
• Portle
• Microsoft micro/do
