The same electroshock therapy that was used to try to convert a trans person in China? I don't think that's a good idea.

I had Custom OSs installed before. My bank works fine, but there are apps that require Google Apps. I'd say that's got pretty much to do with Google.

Well, Google is known for destroying its opposition.

Companies value liars who compete for the best readily made fake speech. Nothing new to see here.

This post almost make it sound like Facebook is a good place to keep in touch with people. The algorithm just wrecks the place, like with X.

The chinese understand that this is a matter of national security, as can be seen by the US limiting their access to high quality chips. This power over other nations production shouldn't be there.

Not to mention the algorithms that lock your attention to the ad. YouTube does this a lot. I just watch all the commercial, because it knows well (through diffing and other techniques) what I will watch completely. I guess I'll get used to it. I have also been clicking more on ads around the webpages, but I don't think this is to my liking. The technology is just getting better. This is really bad, but it's beyond salvation right now. I believe all we can do is mitigate the effects of ads on the Internet. I'm glad we have alternatives.

It doesn't hurt to kill processes that will freeze the computer.

I imagine the creator envisioned something like a package wiki/docs mixed with direct access to the source code.

As long as that philosophy doesn't reach FOSS philosophy, that's fine. Imagine if Fediverse social media suddenly didn't really want to "enshitify" their platforms, but included trackers and ads?

I don't know about it being stable. I've run python scripts that opens lots of images before, and my OS (Linux Mint) let's it empty my memory and freeze my computer, it isn't even a sudo command - that isn't stable behavior to me.

Windows 'just works'? What about all the programs crashes that you need to go through endless YouTube tutorials to fix? What about having to fill up a form and register your credit card for every closed source program you need to install? I don't think Windows 'just works'.

Not to mention all the "freeware" that doesn't do what it is supposed to do. Like if you want a background removal from your webcam.

I think it's funny you call people dense when in fact they see the difference with their own eyes. Like a small business owner is making less money and people try to convince him that it has nothing to do with the elected government. I don't think Fubar is the dense one here at all.

Gemini, Perplexity, Poe. Creating a Selenium script isn't that hard for them. You can try running your own, but it's more less likely that it will produce good results. Best coder LLM I've seen out there for hosting is Yi Coder 9B.

It needs a driver and the web-browser to be executed in headless mode. For Chrome that's chrome-driver. You can get it here.

To make a script for it, I recommend talking to a LLM. I have asked it to build scrapers before, so it does the job.

If you want a practical use of Selenium being demonstrated, you can see it in LucidWebSearch plugin for Oobabooga.

Interesting development, even if the humanitarian toll is there. Global players deal with that all the time anyway.

Finally, something done using only RISCV.

People are not assholes just because they're anonymous. They're assholes because they're sociopaths. The Internet still is the refuge for isolation and escapism. I don't think that will change, but maybe those people will be happier in the future.

I think the gaming community being made of socially awkward, isolated and unemployed people doesn't help the scenario. But I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.

If bits randomly got flipped 0 to 1, we wouldn't get stable software.
