    I love that just tying Karl Marx into chat gpt is enough to turn it full on communist

    I briefly tried out AI dungeon yesterday after it was mentioned on here and all I did was name my peasant character Karl Marx and it threw a bunch of bandits at me (deftly defeated via karate) and immediately after, with no prompting other than the character name, it went OFF on the feudal class society and how its economic structure created the conditions for these bandits. It was great

        The problem is such an LLM is going to create economics equations that sound right but are completely wrong and then just make Marxist education even more confusing.

    Yeah, to anyone resisting leaving Chrome, just do it. This includes the repackaged Chromium browsers too like Opera, Microsoft Edge, Brave, etc.

    Google is pushing the button they said they wanted to push for like 15 years now. Time to move back to Firefox. I did it years ago at this point and don’t regret it. I hope they make the Firefox (and it’s relations like Fennec) on Android run better eventually though. Also looking forward to a gecko-based proper port of Firefox to iOS due to new EU laws that told Apple they can’t force their shit. Ublock origin on iOS… It’s all we ask for!

      I’ve had to tell a friend for the last 2 years that Brave isn’t what he thinks it is. Most recently about the adblock bullshit. I had to explain to him that it affects all Chrome based browser and reiterated that I’ve been telling him this whole time to switch to Firefox. I hope that 3 unskippable ads before his YouTube meme videos will finally pull him over.

      Now if Firefox can figure out how to not shit the bed with 40+tabs open at time, I’ll be happy lol.

        Firefox can run fine with a zillion tabs open, it’s just that certain websites start to panic and run tons of javascript if they’re left backgrounded for days (looking at you github). If you open the task manager (shift-escape) you can find and kill these (keeps the tab open, but it’ll say “your tab crashed” until you go to it and refresh it). This allows you to be even more of a tab gremlin.

          I’m been using the task manager more just to at least avoid keeping heavy recurse tabs open. Didn’t know you could kill them but let them open. I wonder if you can automate that for like after a certain time has elapsed.

            When you press x, it kills them but keeps them open. It used to close them. They changed it a few months ago, I think?

            Probably a mixture of an undiagnosed compulsion to keep things “clean” mixed with being a boomer and becoming an adult before browser tabs existed.

        Do you need 40+ tabs available all the times? Otherwise use Auto Tab Discard.

        This is from someone with tabs opened “a little bit” higher than 40. side-eye-1side-eye-2

        I have so many tabs open on my Android mobile Firefox that there’s literally an infinity symbol. I don’t know if I have 120 or 300 open. There’s no way to tell without manually counting. Please help. Performance is usually good though.

          I have anywhere between 8 and 20 open on Firefox on my phone. I spend less time on that one so it’s mostly a few old game guides and stuff I eventually send to my computer.

      PSA: Use ffprofile.com to generate a sensible default configuration for Firefox (telemetry and ads turned off by default). The installation is as simple as copying and pasting the files into a profile.

      Or use librewolf or GNU Icecat.

    You use firefox because you want to support a freer web and software landscape.

    I use firefox because it’s the only web browser preinstalled in virtually all GNU/Linux distributions.

      The reason that Debian had their Firefox called “iceweasel” for a while is that the Mozilla Public License (MPL) says that if you modify the code, you have to change the logo and trademark names. Iceweasel was exactly the same as Firefox but it had some tweaks to make it run better on Debian.

      It’s still Iceweasel on GNU FSDG compliant distributions (notably GuixSD and Parabola). Not that it’s an actual pressing concern nowadays.
