I’ve been using it as my primary browser on Android for years so I don’t really have much to compare it to, but I haven’t had any issues with extension compatibility. It includes changes from Tor browser and Arkenfox so it’s more privacy-focused than on performance.

I’ll just throw out Mull from DivestOS’s third-party f-droid repo as an up to date alternative. The newest versions are incompatible with the main repo but here is their explanation:

Updated Mull to 131.0.0, has 14+1+25 security fixes from the previous 129.0.2 release. In order to resolve the compilation issue introduced in 130, Mull is now compiled using Mozilla’s prebuilt clang toolchain. This however is incompatible with the F-Droid.org inclusion criteria, so these updates (for now at least) will only be available via the DivestOS.org F-Droid repository. Please note, while this adds a prebuilt dependency, the result does still remain FOSS.

They’re already ignoring robots.txt, so I’m not sure why anyone would think they won’t just ignore this too. All they have to do is get a new IP and change their useragent.

Another lemmy echo chamber… It’s pointless to show another kind of opinion.

Sounds like you maybe just have a habit of entering conversations on topics you don’t know much about (and in this case self-admittedly don’t even care about), so you get a lot of people who are more informed and do care expressing their disagreement with you?

Have you considered just not doing that?

This is already implemented on a lot of the settings pages on 11.

Edit: just wanted to add I don’t think well. I use it at work.

I have a feeling the people making fiber internet faster aren’t the same people installing it in neighborhoods.

The product was an LLM.

I never switched to Proton for exactly this reason. I’d much rather use a service that does one thing really well than one that does 20 things okay.

It’s all just to keep you locked into your subscription. Now they want you to keep other money tied up in it too.

Acts as a wildcard for any directories that exist between arteries and clot.

lol Japan invents the three major optical disc storage mediums that became ubiquitous and their government says fuck that and just keeps on using floppy disks

RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.

America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.

1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

I also take money from possible fascists because I need it to survive. It’s called having a job.

Am I missing something in this article? I’m not defending either company, but it doesn’t seem like they actually have any evidence to confirm either is doing this.

The world’s top two AI startups are ignoring requests by media publishers to stop scraping their web content for free model training data, Business Insider has learned.

It claims this, but then they say this about the source of this info:

TollBit, a startup aiming to broker paid licensing deals between publishers and AI companies, found several AI companies are acting in this way and informed certain large publishers in a Friday letter, which was reported earlier by Reuters. The letter did not include the names of any of the AI companies accused of skirting the rule.

So their source doesn’t actually say which companies are doing this, but then they jump straight into this:

AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are simply choosing to “bypass” robots.txt in order to retrieve or scrape all of the content from a given website or page.

So they’re just concluding that based on nothing and reporting it as fact?

You are both speculating about what triggered the lawsuit because the only people that know for sure what triggered the lawsuit are the publishers and they aren’t talking.

If all public libraries are using CDL and the publishers have only sued IA, who flagrantly violated CDL, and they sued them only 2 months after they started violating the CDL, then that certainly seems like a very possible factor in the lawsuit, right?

Exactly, why didn’t they just ask Lynn Conway for her preference when writing the article?

That would be way more complex to have the motherboard play than a sequence of beeps at different frequencies. Especially at the time.

What makes the internet archive well-equipped for that? They have money from donations? Donations that were more than likely intended for preserving the archive, and not facilitating book piracy in an obviously illegal way that now requires them to piss those donations away in legal fees?

Yes, Apple, like many other corporations, uses FOSS components in their closed source software because it saves them money from free labor. There are also parts that make sense for them to distribute under a free license because they need developers to implement them in their software to work with their OS or browser.

That doesn’t mean they’re actually benefitting the FOSS community in any way, it just means the FOSS community is benefitting their closed source software for free.
