Definitely, a Spotify boycott would only be necessary if they ran ads for ICE, but that would be ridiculous...

Why would you oppose ICE though ?

Are you a criminal ?

Were you calling for boycotts in 2015 when Obama presented Tom Homan the Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Executive for his effectiveness in deporting illegal immigrants while serving as the executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations at ICE ?


I get a cookie banner accessing that page.

You need to wait for a meta-blog about removing banners from the blog

As an Android power user (I’ve ran Lineage, Graphene, rooted with Magisk and passed safetynet) that’s moved to IOS this last month. My subjective opinion: app quality is the same.


I have both an iPhone and an Android phone and I agree. The largest chunk of apps are the same anyway, using something like React Native or Ionic.


It very much depends. These days most apps are developed so that they’re equally trash on both.

The apps that are more specialized to reach OS tend to prioritize iOS because if you look at app revenue, iOS users wildly outspend Android users. At least this was true when i was doing mobile shit a couple years ago

That doesn’t mean the android app sucks, but it’s usually given lower priority. New features and updates will usually hit iOS version sooner and things like that

“AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.”


And then in the same article he goes to write that Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser", which makes AI sound like an intrinsic trait. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence if you ask me.


You could turn Pocket off, you just had to do it every time you updated because they decided to be user-hostile and keep jamming it down users throats (I'm still baffled as to why).

I'm not hopeful.


That wasn't my experience with Pocket. It stayed off for me on Firefox for Linux.


Personally, no I don't see it.


Without knowing anything about the particular person, in what ways a black thumbs-up is different than a non-skinned thumbs-up?

Adding a skin-tone is saying there ARE differences, but any difference you can name are actually prejudices about blacks. What was meant to be a simple "ok", "agree", etc. now is charged with an "I don't think you/others and me are the same kind of humans".

That's why using skin-tones in emojis is actually racist.


Yes simple things such as becoming employed at Mozilla to perform corporate espionage for Google.


Corporate espionage targeting an open-source project?


White collar crime is very much a real thing and some of the most successful organizations got that way because they broke the law.

We don't live in a meritocracy and nice guys finish last.

That's just how things are.


I found that hopping to different VPN servers is a mildly inconvenient workaround for that.


Give https://docs.openwebui.com/ a look, you'll be able to access it by using your desktops IP while on your laptop (providing you're on the same network).


And if I did my own taxes, I wouldn't know if I were in legal trouble until audit day as well!


If you hired a competent professional accountant, in all but the most contrived scenarios you wouldn't have to worry about legal trouble at all.


Except now, you can hire a competent professional accountant and discover on audit day that they got taken over by private equity, replaced 90% of the professionals doing work with AI and made a lot of money before the consequences become apparent.


This is such a fun timeline


Yes, but you're going to pay through the nose for the "wouldn't have to worry about legal trouble at all" (part of what you're paying for with professional services is a degree of protection from their fuckups).

So going back to apples-and-apples comparison, i.e. assuming that "spend a lot of money to get it done for you" is not on the table, I'd trust current SOTA LLM to do a typical person's taxes better than they themselves would.


I pay my accountant 500 USD to file my taxes. I don't consider that "through the nose" relative to my my inflated tech salary.

If a person is making a smaller income their tax situation is probably very simple, and can be handled by automated tools like TurboTax (as the sibling comment suggests).

I don't see a lot of value add from LLMs in this particular context. It's a situation where small mistakes can result in legal trouble or thousands of dollars of losses.


TurboTax handles it fine with what are effectively a bunch of defined if-else statements.


It's not exactly the same, but as an alternative to what jauntywundrkind you can use V4L2-Loopback and OBS to create a virtual webcam and use that to share your screen. I find it really handy being able to switch between either just my cam, my desktop or both.
