Well, if that’s how it worked before, they must’ve changed it. I installed it last night without paying and it never blocked me.
Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.
It wins in the sense that you still have access to the software and code, and you have the option to either hire someone new to maintain it or switch to something else. Closed source proprietary software only leaves you with the latter choice.
An important component of the cost to consider is how long we expect a company to support a piece of software, and how much it would cost to migrate everything when they drop support. FOSS wins in this regard, especially if you can get a support contact with the devs.
Yep. It’s part of their mating ritual. You can learn more about it at c/fuckcars.
I have no qualms about AI being used in products. But when you have to tell me that something is “powered by AI” as if that’s your main selling point, then you do not have a good product. Tell me what it does, not how it does it.
Oh, so you mean local vs external, not browser-based vs other local solutions.
What makes the built-in database easier to attack than a separate one?
Microsoft is working very hard at getting into this data game. Don’t think they won’t try making similar deals.
Are we looking at a future where we need a search engine to tell us which search engine to use for your queries?
If no one can make sense of the change, then you reject it. Makes no difference if it was generated with an LLM or copy-pasted from Stackoverflow.
Reminds me of this story of the wifi that only worked when it rained
This is a problem with the add-on store, not the browser. Do the forks have their own add-on stores? Or do they just use the same one that Mozilla provides? To the best of my knowledge, the only forks that have their own stores are the ones that wouldn’t be able to use Firefox plugins anyway (e.g. Palemoon).
I don’t think forking Firefox is going to change what you see in the add-on store. You would need someone to run their own store. Or just install the plugin manually.
In Canada too. It’s not that common, but also not out of place to see people doing their regular commute on skis.
I’d be surprised if being born with a specific face configuration isn’t protected in the same way that race and gender are.
Somehow, we manage to accept organ transplants despite it hurting one healthy person a little to help an unhealthy person a lot. What’s stopping us from treating birth control the same way?
This needs to have multiple levels of “openness” to distinguish between having access to the code, the dataset, a documented training procedure, and the final weights. I wouldn’t consider it fully open unless these are all available, but I still appreciate getting something over nothing, and I think that should be encouraged.
Same. I keep thinking back to my time TAing for an intro programming course and getting students who just add random braces until their code compiles. That’s me right now with Rust pointers.
