Him being a fascist and all kinda overshadows that.

A generative AI model doesn't require the exact thing it creates in its datasets. It most likely just combined regular nudity with a picture of a child.

Mozilla still does pretty good without any donations, and your donations will most definitely not be spent on Firefox.

I thought I ate the onion...

You're just posting fake clones of the official websites again. The original website was taken down. The ones you linked are just other pirate streaming websites using the same name for recognition.

Most anime piracy sites just put the episodes into a few video hosting websites, and then embed those videos.

I am not trying to rationalize it, I literally just said I was neutral.

I wonder how Windows would perform against Linux with all bloatware removed and telemetry disabled.

It's not CSAM in the training dataset, it's just pictures of children/people that are already publicly available. This goes on to the copyright side of things of AI instead of illegal training material.

That is the best sentence I've ever seen.

That's a fake clone...
The original site was this.

Cockin on a bike? What did you write there?

Tell me too when you find them.

What the fuck does that mean?

Blaming the user and saying there are alternatives really doesn't work.

If you don't stand up against Pixel phones getting enshittified, then Fairphones are also going to get enshittified. If you don't stand up against U.S. airports getting spying facial recognition, then U.K. airports are also going to get spying facial recognition because they now know that nobody will give a shit.

Now Firefox is also getting enshittified, because just look at the most popular web browser. Google Chrome is literal spyware and they get no actual pushback, and are instead getting rewarded so Firefox copies it.

So, for example, instead of saying "Stop moaning about Netflix and torrent your movies even though you might get arrested if you don't have good opsec in countries with strict copyright laws.", push back against those changes. Boycotting works, telling your friends and family how Netflix is fucking them over without putting the blame on them works, even a Mastodon post works. But a half-assed response to an obscure article that blames the user doesn't work.

And without poo it's just an L.

Wow! $800,000 worth of cocaine is crazy!

I'm not neutral about child porn, I'm very much against it, stop trying to put words in my mouth. I'm talking about this kind of use of AI could be in the very same category of loli imagery, since these are not real child sexual abuse material.

Miru for anime is pretty good.

Mozilla's funding did mostly consist of the Google partnership (86%), but as you can see, it's not their only source of income. And you really don't need half a fucking billion just to develop a web browser, which is open source, which also gets community contributions. This is made pretty obvious by their current revenue (>$1,000,000,000) and their CEO's whopping $5.6 million salary.

Don't donate to a shitty for-profit that masks itself with their non-profit company. Instead donate to something like Ladybird, whom are currently in early development but have no plans on adding features that actively spy on you (FakeSpot, Pocket), and they don't need $500 fucking million to develop a web browser.

And if you're going to talk about Mozilla's social work, just don't. I've already seen it.

Some western countries have very strict copyright laws (e.g. Germany and the U.S.) where if an ISP sees you accessing pirated content, your internet access might be cut off or you might even get arrested.

Use Kotatsu on Android or Komikku on Linux as manga readers & downloaders so to not need to deal with porn ads.

If you're using a trusted VPN like Mullvad, it doesn't matter really.

Check the community Megathread. It has pretty good websites, even desktop programs.

Mullvad Browser is pretty good on desktop.

I believe I have become a skilled enough mage, so I'd prefer solving this on my own.

That's a whole other thing than the AI model being trained on CSAM. I'm currently neutral on this topic so I'd recommend you replying to the main thread.

I was about to say a mantis shrimp, but I think it wouldn't really matter if it was a seashell anyway.

I don't think Fox 5 is associated with Fox News.

I would use OnlyOffice instead of LibreOffice since it has better overall compatibility with MS Office and overall better UX.

What the fuck lmao

I don't really have superglue right now, and the screw looks like this far up, not sure it can be called tight or not.

(Screwdriver for comparison, couldn't really find something better.)

I do have a gigantic flathead but it doesn't exactly fit, though I will get one in the morning and try out your advice if I can't get it out by then. Thank you!

Thank you. Yes, they are also developing their own web engine, which is a very complicated piece of software because of the current sad state of the web. But it doesn't excuse any of the things I mentioned, and web engine development still doesn't suckle up that much money as we can see from their current revenue and other efforts to make an independent web engine such as Ladybird.

I do not mind Mozilla starting other projects, but if you're talking about FakeSpot or Pocket which are getting integrated into the "more private alternative to browsers like Internet Explorer, and now Chrome" by the "non-profit" whom "prioritize people and their privacy over profits", I think you need to take a look at those privacy policies I linked in my previous comment.

I agree with you on your last paragraph, but there are some things I'm bothered with. Mozilla is (or was) a company that focused on one thing, their web browser. Apple and Google are (and were) different, in that they have a vast range of products to maintain. And Gecko is most definitely inferior to Blink in terms of speed, although I'm not familiar with any of their "modernity".

I just need something that supports gopls and some basic features such as syntax highlighting, reasonable indents, code-completion etc.
