Changing the brightness or WiFi settings can be very useful for many people. Not everyone is a Linux nerd and knows all the ins and outs of basic computing.

They probably wouldn’t be such a laughing stock if they were successful.

Its a good point but you can always have even lesa market share.

Don’t tell me Linux mint would still be Linux mint without the a desktop environment like Cinnamon. An os is the collection of all the software not just the low level code.

Work on useful alternatives to big corpo crapware = lick the boot?

Mkay…

The potential for damage is much higher

Doubt it. Maybe Microsoft can fuck it up somehow but the tech is here to stay and will do massive good.

I guess we’ll see. 😃 In any case I wouldn’t want my Linux desktop to be 5 years behind if they do take off on other platforms.

Fair enough…

I agree. Openai have sold everything they supposedly stood for.

It is always easier to blame an -ism than built in conflicting human tendencies.

Right, another aspect of the Luddite movement is that they lost. They failed to stop the spread of industrialization and machinery in factories.

Screaming at a train moving 200kmph hoping it will stop.

Its an interesting discussion. But I disagree you have a clear cut fact.

Just because it’s a computer writing things with math why do you say it is not intelligence. It would be helpful if you could be more detailed here.

That’s just nitpicking. Everyone here knows what we mean by AI. Yes it refers to LLMs.

Reminds me of Richard Stallman always interjecting to say “actually its gnu/Linux or as I like to say gnu plus Linux”…

Well no Mr Stallman its actually gnu + Linux + Wayland + systemd + chromium and whatever other software you have installed, are you happy now??

Now that you said it the name is kinda fitting haha. But its actually not intentional. All of my posts are brave related, but its just because I like the software.

Yeah I understand. FF don’t call themselves a “mainline” normie browser though. They mislead people by marketing themselves as privacy and users interests first.

I disagree. Even those who don’t care about privacy should have maximum privacy from their browser out of the box. People have a right not to be mistreated by nefarious actors.

Those who care for privacy aren’t the ones most harmed by Mozilla’s complacency. As good as LibreWolf is I wonder if it has even 1% of the users Firefox has.

Firefox markets itself as a privacy browser. Its their go to shtick. So the comparison is fair.

I think it is not misleading as the vast majority of non-techy users never tinker with such settings, so what the developer has configured out-of-the-box is what matters.
