Overall, I have the feeling that they made changes for changes’ sake but I may be wrong. Anyway, they lost (again) 10k users this year and I don’t understand how those changes would help (https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity)
The vibe coders and every person using an LLM can’t complain about it. It’s fair game.
Empty readme and no comments in the code. Its useless to anyone who would want to change or fix it. It’s junior’s code and unacceptable in a professional environment.
Don’t forget subscriptions. We were freed by Linux, GCC, and all the open source tools that replaced $1000 proprietary crap. They now have that money again through AI monthly plans.
A lot of people on HackerNews have a $200 monthly subscription to have the privilege to work. It’s crazy.

You had me until this fake detail, don’t lie to us.
Dan Brown knows the secret but he doesn’t want to say it. Dan Brown, it was in front of us the whole time.
In France you cannot fail a middle or high school class anymore. The official explanation is that it hurts the kids’ feelings. The teachers’ explanation is that too many people would fail.
It’s in France and I guess everywhere else. Students can cheat for free and no longer need to do anything, why would they study anymore?
I’ve also seen a few young engineers using ChatGPT to do their job because it’s easier than working. When I told them their code was bad (with mentoring and help, I’m not an asshole), they used another prompt that changed their whole code but it was still full of bugs.
We’re doomed.
Please tell me because I have been using Windows at home and at work for more than 30 years and I still believe that most people only need Firefox and LibreOffice.
For the past whole year, yes. Hacker News is now 1/3 technology, 1/3 politics, 1/3 AI. It’s annoying.
Yeah, it’s very easy… as long as it’s working, which it is not, at all.
And in a million years, people will still do everything possible except install Linux. Ubuntu is 20 years old and it was already a decent alternative to Windows back then. People are idiots and we shouldn’t be sorry for them.
How is it in any way legal?
GrapheneOS is weird. It’s advertised as “privacy- and security-focused” but in reality it’s a great OS for everyone, it’s like a pure version of Android without being too tied to Apple or Google. You can use the Play Store if you have an account, or Aurora if you don’t want one, and F-Droid is there for the weird stuff.
And what made me switch, it has fucking Android Auto to listen to the music in my car. It’s a bit tied to Google but it’s a huge bonus for me. And for work applications, the Google account is still available but sandboxed.
Is it like the Moscow Kebab, or the Egyptian Sushi?
Promiscuity is a word used by bullshit religious extremists.
Like eating mom’s spaghetti with a spork.
Unless you want to disable Gemini which tells you to go to the settings to find a hallucinated feature. Thanks Google, but you’re drunk!
The
historyof the CTO at a previous job was filled withdcandslbecause he was a fucking moron. Yes I’m still bitter that he earned way more money than me who had to fix all his mess.
