I mean that there is several indicators that Google did indeed try to sabotage other browsers on YouTube.

History disagrees with you on this one.

Luckily I sit right next to my home server and can hear when the fans kick in under load. The absence of noise tells me I don’t have this problem :)

Is your argument pro market regulation or against market regulation or just there to stir up shit?

The EU is a heavily regulated market economy. Broadly that creates better outcomes and higher levels of happiness for its citizens.

Microsoft may not have that cash at that jurisdiction; any big company with tonnes of cash still often take out loans because it’s cheaper to pay it back that move cash from one jurisdiction than another. If the nuclear power company defaults and Microsoft backs the loan, I’m still guessing Microsoft pays back the loan.

What do you mean when you ask “how much money will Microsoft make out of this?” If they’re taking a risk, in the way our economy is currently organised, they stand to lose and they stand to gain. You do realise most nuclear power stations were state guaranteed private companies right? Are you against the nuclear industry, the way we organise our economy, or Microsoft’s actions specifically?

The risk of nuclear is tiny, but real. That’s the way with all nuclear companies. Why should who runs the plant influence the form in which we support any clean up required if the most terrible thing happens (ps: It won’t, but that’s another matter and one I’m sure you’ll want to debate endlessly about too)?

They are seeking a LOAN.

Firefox is getting so small it’s starting to disappear out of the testing matrix. Confluence has issues with it, you can’t always log into Vanguard on Firefox, many news website layouts have overlapping elements on Firefox, quite a few shopping websites too (H&M in Europe has a long-standing but with putting stuff in the shopping basket until they revamped their website a couple of months ago). Etc etc. I see it ALL the time.

I don’t know if it’s the CEO, the board or the wider leadership team but I agree they haven’t been laser focused on building a better browser and that isn’t good enough.

You do understand those forks do 1% of the work required to keep the Firefox codebase performant, standards compliant and technically sound?

If Mozilla disappears those forks will too.

But that isn’t the balance that’s being struck. Mozilla is trying to balance between useful services being available for free and people’s right to privacy. If you’re using any websites that has staff employed, they’re more likely than not being paid for by advertising.

Is he, or has he ever been, a communist or associated with communists! We demand an answer!

You wouldn’t add AI to a hand bag?! You wouldn’t add AI to a car?! You wouldn’t add AI to a baby?! You wouldn’t shoot a police man?! … and then steal his helmet?! … and then add AI to it?!

Said, let me guess, Altech.

Correct.

Ah, Mr Donning Kruger, it’s nice to meet you.

Barely usable results?! Whatever you may think of the pricing (which is obviously below cost), there are an enormous amount of fields where language models provide insane amount of business value. Whether that translates into a better life for the everyday person is currently unknown.

You will be kept alive at subsistence level to buy the stuff you’ve been told to buy, don’t worry.

Could solve a lot of problems for the rich, that’s for sure.

Ah yes, like how “fusion” somehow isn’t “nuclear”.

Ethics.

Which is to say not a lot.

But it’s not really a practical attack vector, if you’re worried about weaponisation. Simpler to just dump VX into the air.
