No, public companies and cooperatives are completely different things

The investors is not who they’re talking about sharing profits with

That’s not what they said at all

It’s also worth adding, though, that the convention of only running for at most two terms had existed pretty much since the establishment of the republic (until FDR broke it), when Washington and Jefferson each chose not to run for third terms

It’s nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance

I’m such a dunce, I didn’t spot your username 🤦

Thought I was asking a db0 random, not the NaN himself

Slightly off topic, is db0 one of the anarchist instances you’re referring to? I know it’s a generally leftist instance, but don’t know much more detail than that

Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil

The words in the middle are the key difference, though:

Communities are groups

Communities involve (i.e. are not) topics

Communities involve (i.e. are not) individuals

The social structure of Lemmy is fundamentally centred on groups, and that’s what makes it distinct from other fediverse platforms, even if there is some interoperability

What’s with your name, buzz?

I, too, work in a similar type of company, and can confirm from experience that Linux can get just as absolutely fucked up by a bad kernel module as windows.

And it’s not just changes to the module that can cause things to go wrong.

For example, the kernel released alongside the latest Ubuntu LTS included a change that conflicted with our module behaviour, so machines with that kernel or newer would panic on boot.

It was a super minor change, but when you’re deep in the weeds, it’s really easy for these things to be brittle. But that’s just an inherent consequence of the fact that this sort of stuff is intrinsically low-level interaction with the OS itself.

This is just straight up wrong. Additive noise is an extremely common - fundamental, even - part of data anonymisation.

It’s like saying “if you have to use randomisation to encrypt data, then it means the data can be decrypted. randomisation is irrelevant”

I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger

Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!

Pleasure doing business, good sir

Ah, I missed that alt text specifically is local, but the point stands, in that allowing (opt-in) access to a 3rd party service is reasonable, even if that service doesn’t have the same privacy standards as Mozilla itself

To pretty much every non-technical user, an AI sidebar that won’t work with ChatGPT (Google search’s equivalent from my example previously) may as well not be there at all

They don’t want to self host an LLM, they want the box where chat gpt goes

There’s plenty of situations where even a contextless generated alt-text is a huge improvement on no alt-text at all

Mozilla isn’t in charge of the extension API, it uses Chromium’s WebExtensions API

The alternative is only supporting self hosted LLMs, though, right?

Imagine the scenario: you’re a visually impaired, non-technical user. You want to use the alt-text generation. You’re not going to go and host your own LLM, you’re just going to give up and leave it.

In the same way, Firefox supports search engines that sell your data, because a normal, non-technical user just wants to Google stuff, not read a series of blog posts about why they should actually be using something else.

Bold to go with the pro-auth-left take

I’m just going to ignore the long responses to stuff I didn’t claim in the first place
