The reason I hate AI generated code is because it's low quality and a pain to review. Similarly, AI generated images and videos are also low quality and not worth paying attention to.
If a game is well made and people enjoy it then what's the problem with utilising AI generated code or assets? What's the objective?
I think Firefox is an excellent browser. Their problem is simply that they have too much revenue for too many years. They need a fraction of that. If I were the ceo, I would drastically cut back operations. Scale down the org to 10% of its current strength, keep shipping a solid and boring browser, accept donations that directly support development of the browser. No fads, no ai, just a high performance, bug free, standards compliant browser. The users and donations will come. Firefox will survive.
One year of google revenue can kar them for 10 years of lean operation!
Revenue is good for the company - and they'll want as much as possible in order to support their obligations to the business plan, but unfortunately layoffs were still part of that plan these past few years. Mozilla's CEO pay:
2018: $2.46 million
2020: $2.97 million
2021: $5.59 million
2022: $6.90 million
2023: $6.26 million
I block requests to Mozilla infrastructure, not by mistake.
At this point Microsoft needs to start over with Windows, preferably build on Linux. Valve did it and built a better gaming OS. Microsoft can do it for the rest of us.
Jellyfin is great for this if you don't want to put the computer right next to the TV. Set up your torrent program to download to a particular directory and set up Jellyfin to watch it. The most seamless experience to watch anything.
The only downside compared to Netflix is you need to wait 10-15 minutes to let the torrent finish. Also sometimes you have to hunt for the subtitles if you want them.
Windows went through a pendulum swing of integrating touch (I think they ended up in a place where they expect users to use more of a multi-modal approach instead of touch-only).
I suspect Mac is going through the same thing right now as ipad is "growing up" and they're trying to reconcile all their UI. I'm a little surprised that Macs have never introduced touch.
Fundamentally any centralised message relay system will have enough metadata to know something about participants and maybe even things like message frequency. If you truly want anonymous communication it has to be p2p.
Microsoft is a multi-trillion dollar company. Is it too much to ask for them to develop and maintain two separate Windows flavors with different focus?
1. Windows 11 - keep doing what they are doing, add AI, ads, all sorts of guardrails, whatever the 80% of users need
2. Windows 11 Enthusiast - Bring back Win 2000 theme, no guardrails, best-in-class dev experience, hyper-optimised for gaming, no AI, no ads
I would pay significantly more for the special version that I did for my Win 11 pro copy.
