Mozilla Warns DOJ's Google Breakup Plan May Hurt Small Browser Makers: The maker of Firefox browser said in a statement the DOJ's blanket ban on search revenue-sharing deals would disproportionately impact smaller players that rely on such agreements, while failing to meaningfully increase competition in search https://news.slashdot.org/story/24/11/22/1112255/mozilla-warns-dojs-google-breakup-plan-may-hurt-small-browser-makers What do you think? Is Mozilla correct here?

You know what? Fuck this. I am done with writing code and stuff.

Suppose you see someone, perhaps your co-worker or friend, or someone switched from Windows to Linux and struggling with the command line. What would you do?

Good. One of India’s largest news agencies, Asian News International (ANI), has sued OpenAI in a case that could set a precedent for how AI companies use copyrighted news content. Asian News International filed a 287-page lawsuit in the Delhi High Court on Monday, alleging the AI company illegally used its content to train its AI models and generated false information attributed to the news agency https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/18/indian-news-agency-sues-openai-alleging-copyright-infringement/

Hello world!

A big warm welcome to all of you who recently joined #Mastodon from X/Twitter! It's awesome to have you here. 😄

I'd love to connect with you all! Come say hello and let me know if we were already following each other on the old site. Let's make some noise on Mastodon! 🐘 Haha!

There are hundreds or even more of Linux distributions, each with its own quirks and philosophies. It's truly like the Wild West of operating systems!

WTF? how is this even legal? 🤨 paid internship? so this is the future they were talking all along, flying cars and living on the Mars? LOL.

Did you know that the original Unix devs were so obsessed with efficiency that they designed the "rm" command to have no confirmation prompt? Legend believes this was to save precious milliseconds, as they thought "real Unix users" would never make mistakes. Of course, this led to many accidental deletions and the birth of the infamous "rm -rf /" command, which could wipe out an entire system with a single typo.

If Rust Lang is so good, why do Google and Apple still hire new C++ developers? :thinkerguns:

Classic Windows apps like Paint and Notepad are also getting LLM (Generative AI) support. There is no reason whatsoever that Notepad should do more than text editing. Microsoft has gone crazy with these tools. Of course, as part of these tools, your text in Notepad is sent to Microsoft under the name of Generative AI, which then sells it to the highest bidder. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/11/06/new-ai-experiences-for-paint-and-notepad-begin-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/ Stick with FLOSS tools and OS and avoid this madness. Keep your data safe.

Can you guess what I am doing?

When did you join the cult of #Linux?

I started in 1994 ;)

Definitely not lazy, but I am a lazy #Linux or #Unix user ( ⊙‿⊙). Thanks https://www.commitstrip.com/en/2017/02/28/definitely-not-lazy/
