I put my steel in the fridge and it’s completely dried out now

Granted, it wasn’t very wet when it went in

Ok 👍

Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution

Why? This is a scientific article with a shitpost as the title

I should go to the library more

I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger

Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!

Pleasure doing business, good sir

Ah, I missed that alt text specifically is local, but the point stands, in that allowing (opt-in) access to a 3rd party service is reasonable, even if that service doesn’t have the same privacy standards as Mozilla itself

To pretty much every non-technical user, an AI sidebar that won’t work with ChatGPT (Google search’s equivalent from my example previously) may as well not be there at all

They don’t want to self host an LLM, they want the box where chat gpt goes

Well except for the fact that the salary option is:

• granted gradually over a year period
• requires you to do a full-time job

If they would be able to get even a slightly worse salaried job instead of being an MP, then the financial motive is - in contrast to your claim - actually in favour of him losing

There’s plenty of situations where even a contextless generated alt-text is a huge improvement on no alt-text at all

Mozilla isn’t in charge of the extension API, it uses Chromium’s WebExtensions API

The alternative is only supporting self hosted LLMs, though, right?

Imagine the scenario: you’re a visually impaired, non-technical user. You want to use the alt-text generation. You’re not going to go and host your own LLM, you’re just going to give up and leave it.

In the same way, Firefox supports search engines that sell your data, because a normal, non-technical user just wants to Google stuff, not read a series of blog posts about why they should actually be using something else.

Sorry, what’s that in hand-egg-ball fields?

“generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”

Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?

If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.

The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes

Criticising liberal policy is absolutely reasonable

Using “the libs” as a catch-all term for “anyone I disagree with” is the marker of an incoming terrible take

Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off

Word “libs” in first 5 words, opinion rejected

It’s difficult to quantify, but I think there is a compelling argument to be made - just off of my head, WW2 led to:

• the fall of German autocracy/restoration of German democracy (though Hitler did kinda break that one in the first place)
• Italian and Japanese democracy
• redistribution of wealth/power in Britain
• the 4th french republic
• alignment of the European democracies
• establishment of the UN
