This is unpopular opinion, but for Firefox to live, Mozilla, as it currently operates, needs to die.

They forgot their core user base hates cloud and AI features. They want a simple browser that connects to web servers and displays pages. Meanwhile, executive are getting fat salaries and bounces while begging users for money on AI and other privacy intrusion projects like adding perplexity directly to Firefox. They lost their vision long time ago.

The decline of Stackoverflow 😱

This is how monopoly looks… Remember, not a single book author, artist, or FLOSS developer has ever been paid. They just used all of your data to train AI and are now making billions in profits while you struggle to buy eggs. This is why monopoly is so bad. #ai #microsoft #openai

Do you know why most sysadmins & experienced DevOps folks like to use #Vim ? It's because learning all of Vim's (A-Z) commands actually grants the user temporary telepathic abilities. You see it all the time. All hardcore Vim users, like those sysadmins, often seem to anticipate your needs before you even type them. They can practically fix server /cloud issues by editing text config files or deploy Ansible playbook before they even happen! Vim gives them superpower. I have spoken #unix #linux

Good god. This is what happens when people start to think ChatGPT is replacement for trained therapist/doctors and trust its output too much. People are losing loved ones to AI-fueled spiritual fantasies https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/

IT Recruiters are like:

"We are looking for a rockstar frontend developer that can write machine learning algorithms in HTML"

Haha, that's one way to deal with it. I'm not sure how effective it is, though.

It is a scientifically proven fact that experienced Linux and Unix terminal users develop an involuntary "Ctrl+C" reflex. This reflex is so strong that they have been observed attempting to use it during everyday conversations to interrupt unwanted monologues.

I can't open the official #Mastodon app on iOS; it just crashes. Is anyone having issues?
