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.

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?
I’ve heard Elon Musk (or was it Karpathy?) talking about how camera should be sufficient for all scenarios because humans can do it on vision alone, but that’s poor reasoning IMO. Cars are not humans, so there’s no reason to confine them to the same limitations. If we want them to be safer and more capable than human drivers, one way to do that is by providing them with more information.
The article is about Google. Why does it matter that it’s missing from the Alphabet handbook?
Shit takes time bro. We’re all trying not to starve to death here.
Responding to your first two paragraphs:
The enjoyability of a piece of art isn’t independent of the creator. I will only speak for myself since I don’t know other people’s experiences. When you see something that tickles the happy part of your brain, part of that emotional response is in knowing that there’s another person out there who probably felt that way and wanted to share those feeling with you. In experiencing those emotions, you also experience a connection with another human being. The knowledge that you’re not alone and someone else out there has experienced the same thing. I wouldn’t read through the credits because I don’t care who that person is. I just care that this person existed. When you look at AI generated work and it just feels empty despite the surface beauty, this is the missing piece. It’s the human connection.
I envy all of you who have uncommon last names.
Some Willy Wonka experience thing in Glasgow. Entire event was AI generated apparently.
I block ads using uBlock. Does that count?
We don’t close it. It’s never been a problem.
Well, Chrome OS is a thing.
too
Funny that you say that. I always get the low end phones so I don’t expect much performance-wise. I didn’t even know it was possible for me to have a reasonable mobile web browsing experience because Chrome was always so awfully laggy while also making everything else lag and I didn’t expect Firefox to be any different. Then I actually tried it, and holy shit the internet actually works. Not only that, I can’t even tell that I’m browsing on a shitty low end phone.
Why haven’t we seen any of that happening?
I don’t understand what you mean by “The Chinese Room has already been surpassed by LLMs”. It’s not a test that can be surpassed. It’s just a thought experiment.
In any case, you do bring up a good point. Perhaps this understanding is in the organization of the information. So if you have a Chinese room where all the query-response pairs are in arbitrary orders, then maybe you wouldn’t consider that to be understanding. But if you have the data organized such that similar queries/responses are close to each other and this person in the room doing the answering can make mistakes such as accidentally copying out the response next to the correct response and still make sense, then maybe we can consider this system to have better understanding.
Ah, gotcha. You weren’t the only one to say this, so I thought there might be something more to it.
What’s the problem with GRUB and will it impact someone who sees the boot menu maybe three times a year at most?
Unfortunately, windows likes to wake your computer from sleep to update and reboot without your permission. All unsaved work be damned.
Needing to click to play a video is a Firefox feature, and it’s been there for ages already. It doesn’t allow any audio to play until you interact with the page.
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).
