And they use ULA's Atlas V rockets even though Amazon's CEO owns a competing rocket company. Space is hard 😂

Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don't care whether it's written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.

Isn't that what Xwayland was created for? What sort of applications are these?

A few things to point out:

• Microsoft created this extension and pays money to develop it
• Despite that, they give it to programmers for free. It is still free of charge.
• They explicitly said that using it outside of their products is forbidden (according to article: at least 5 years ago), they just didn't enforce it
• Someone (here: Cursor developers), despite that, used it in their products and started to make money from it

What exactly are you mad at? When will programming community finally understand that Microsoft is not a non-profit company and its primary purpose is to make money?

Thank you for reminding me of existence of this network. Have they already joined fediverse as they promised?

To be successful, Firefox should not only try to keep up with the competition, but also offer some unique features that would attract new users.

I agree that LLMs are overhyped, but in my opinion they are quite good at summarising text. We all hate clickbait titles, and this feature has the potential to actually combat them. And what's unique about Firefox's approach is that it's truly private. No other browser offers this.

hey @[email protected], here's a hint: you don't have to use it ;)

Extension members seems promising, but the way they are implemented seem kind of strange to me. I still need to create a static class to declare extension? Why not just get rid of class and declare extensions as "standalone" elements?

Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I'm used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D

What is this

Wow, have they just realised that not every single thing computers do is actually useful to anyone? I think screens that show things when nobody's looking cost a lot more on a global scale.

Naah, boring

So... the US government doesn't have to fund it anymore? So that is an advantage for them in this situation, what is the disadvantage? Or was that their goal all along?

It reportedly works entirely on your machine (as it meant to be privacy preserving by default). So it will probably see only the data you can see.

Maybe because it is, an article says later "Saltiness aside" 😏

Forgejo is such a terrible name 🙄

This should also be part of git repo (but maybe not downloaded through typical git clone as it might be too large though). Has developers of git ever considered doing this?

Is talking on Lemmy ok?

Can anyone ELI5 why it's bad? Apart from contributior being Microsoft

Imagine a website showing a weather forecast. Maintainers of this page are running a webserver and a service that analyse raw meteorological data to calculate tomorrow's weather. In exchange they are making money out of ads.

Now there is an AI agent that enters that page on behalf of user, gets the forecast and show it back to user. User never sees an ad, maintainer never sees his revenue. How is that not stealing?
