More like yes please, I get better results and better customization, and no ads or paid results.

It makes my life easier and speeds my workflows up. And unlike free alternatives I almost never find myself reverting to Google.

Kagi literally documents how this works in their blog post about it: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass

Perhaps you should start reading before writing?

Yeah, but they hold none of the actual real emotional needs complexities or nuances of real human connections.

Which means these people become further and further disillusioned from the reality of human interaction. Making them social dangers over time.

Just like how humans that lack critical thinking are dangers in a society where everyone is expected to make sound decisions. Humans who lack the ability to socially navigate or connect with other humans are dangerous in the society where humans are expected to socially stable.

Obviously these people are not in good places in life. But AI is not going to make that better. It's going to make it worse.

Any fork will die a slow and painful death of it can't get the necessary funding for project management and maintainer salaries.

It will also dwindle, hard, towards irrelevancy.

In world where the only viable browser is one owned and operated by Google.

Wtf you on about?

The grand majority of all costs for Firefox are in engineering salaries. And there is no million dollar CEO relating to the nonprofit's expenses, that CEO is paid for from funds from the for profit organization.

Browsers are CRAZY expensive to build and maintain. And teams of engineers are crazy expensive.

Found the Linux user.

Not Arc though, they would have said so

Really wish we didn't have bots posting at all

I use jellyfin, and jellyfin is not safe to expose to the internet.

They have a handful of vulnerability and security holes that have been open for like 5+ years now. And the old emby architecture is quite difficult to work with.

32TB right now.

Got +80TB coming in the mail!

And offside backup coming soon ™️

And your simple command that covers all the file types supported, on any platform, is... What?

If you're gonna bitch, and say your alternative is better, you had better cough up the alternative or your just full of shit...

I mean, why not?

They integrated accessibility focused, local, AI pretty well.

Loads of folks bitched about it because they were triggered by "AI", but it's essentially invisible, as it should be.

I hate naming things, that's actually something AI is good at, hell yeah, let it name my shit for me please.

Then again, these communities are always full of Debby downers who hate on everything.

It's going to take years once it actually renders pages correctly to not only be fast but also secure.

And then it's going to take at least a decade for it to build the necessary ecosystem and ancillary tooling (use. Devtools) that other major browsers have.

And very likely unless it gains significant funding it will never catch up.

At the end of the day, browsers are absolutely crazy expensive to develop. It takes a significant number of engineers not only to maintain it but to build new features and keep up with web standards.

Mozilla is in a tight spot where they want to separate themselves from Google's funding, but to do that they need to make money.

They have a user base that is very difficult to monetize.

Which means the user base which cares about privacy has put themselves in a position where they will now lose privacy in order for the tools they use to continue existing.

It's a shitty situation all around.

Naw, that's what shitty AI is for

I've seen it several times on Lemmy, Reddit, my news feed, my bloody RSS feed....etc

And I block ads., I don't see ads, but now social media in general is just half astroturfed ads.

Ah yes, an internet classic.

Instead of engaging in meaningful conversation when the topic gets tough, you would prefer to fall back to insults.

👏

Have we collectively forgotten that Facebook tested manipulating users emotional states all the way back in 2014?

Where they tested to see if people with depression can be even more depressed if their social media feeds are manipulated to take away positive interaction.

I mean, yeah, so is electricity, aerofoils, and explosives. Old tech.

I'm not sure what your point is...

Whoosh

I mean probably because the scripting languages typically don't provide the lower level utilities necessary to securely wipe files?

You're not deleting files in a typical sense. You also need to scrub over those files so they cannot be put back together forensically.
