We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.
@zenbrowser Hell yeah!!! thanks for helping make zen browser with ublock origin pretty much the nicest way to browse the web!!!
@zenbrowser I kept forgetting to research how to disable Firefox AI in Zen and I guess this is probably why. Already off. Love it! Thanks Zen team
@zenbrowser Thank you! <3 Anymore it really feels like the walls are closing in with what choices we have left in our tech use. :C
@zenbrowser thanks. Quick Tip:
If you happen to want use AI, open a new tab, type the URL of the AI you want to use and go use it.
Pro level: you can bookmark it.
@zenbrowser thank you. I've been using Zen for several months now and I've been recommending it to people. At least I won't have to jump ship in the near future.
@zenbrowser You'll continue to do so until you get substantial funding from a big corp that will make you depend on this funding and therefore comply to all their AI tantrums.
You should also protect yourself from big corp funding mayhem, because that's pretty much what happened with Github when bought by 'crosoft, and Firefox when bought by, well, big AI-maniac funding tech bros.
How long before Mozilla file for bankruptcy?
| Before 2028: | 8 |
| In the next 5 to 10 years: | 9 |
| It wont go bankrupt but will go through a huge refactoring: | 4 |

It's crazy because they are Mozilla which was the codename of the Netscape Navigator browser which in turn was based on the Mosaic browser.
That make it one of the oldest open-source project on the Internet.
They should do better than this.
@Kingu
Idk how long Mozilla would be around they've been tumbling doing wierd stuff for a good while and the google dependency is always a risk.
But am i the only one that takes those AI pivot announcements a pinch of salt? Like blockchain and nft features were crammed into stuff and getting awkwardly removed again.
Someone that lives in busines-land sees AI as the current magic word for "we are relevant" In publically traded companies its ridiculous how successful this approach actually is.
It`s becoming great again!

Si jamais vous avez une expertise dans le domaine des addictions et du sevrage tabagique et que vous acceptez de témoigner en ma faveur dans le cadre du procès que me fait Laserostop, mes DM sont ouverts 😉 (le témoignage peut se faire juste par écrit). Merci !
Contexte : Laserostop est une société française qui prétend couper l'addiction au tabac en 1 séance grâce à un laser pointé sur votre oreille (auriculothérapie laser). Ils inondent les réseaux et les médias de pub et portent plainte quand on démontre que c'est du bullshit.
I received an invite to the early access to the Android developer console in my inbox yesterday, the one related to Google's new push to make developers verify Android apps that are distributed outside Play.
Google had talked previously about providing a specific verification tier for students and hobbyists, but with limitation on how many app installs it could have. Well that sounds nice of them, right?
But the question I had on my mind back when I read that was: How many devices would that mean? Ten thousand, a thousand, a hundred?
Turns out it means just twenty. fucking. devices.
I've heard Google has recently been backpedalling a bit on their original plans because of the almost universal negative backlash to the announcement, but I'm sure the "advanced app installation flow" they are introducing to install unverified apps will not be that great either.
However I do know that apps installed through ADB with USB debugging enabled is fully exempt from any verification (from Google's FAQ), so regardless there will be an escape hatch for technical users.
If distribution is happening outside of their infrastructure, how could they even tell how many devices the application gets distributed to? Are they spying on users just to collect that information?
@kasperd Probably using Play Services. If you have Play Protect enabled it will also scan apps that are installed outside of Play implying Google will know what's installed, and even if that's disabled I'm sure it sends a list of currently installed apps to Google anyway.
(This would also mean that degoogled Android devices without Play Services wouldn't count to the total of devices)
@ROllerozxa@hachyderm.io hahaha. fuckin called it.
RE: https://gaysex.cloud/notes/ac0gkkwd4nmu009i
@mildsunrise@tech.lgbt students and hobbyists will also have "fewer verification requirements" but it's not explained what that means. from the fact that it's just a footnote on some slides, i gather that this won't be available at launch or it's supposed to be explained elsewhere?
i'm holding out hope that their hobbyist accounts will be like on iOS: really fucking annoying to use and only viable to deploy apps to your own devices; for the tradeoff of maybe not requiring ID verification?
like, yes. they explicitly say in this slideshow on the first page that ID verification will be mandatory. but i'm hoping that they only mean for apps that will be easy to install and that the hobbyist account requirements are not at all the same.
@ROllerozxa@hachyderm.io there's no way we're not getting an AltStore-equivalent on Android as a result of this, completely undermining the point of "developer verification" and ultimately just adding friction for users.
@sodiboo yeah the new "advanced app installation flow" for unverified apps that Google said they were gonna implement in their latest announcements that's gonna be designed to "resist coersion" which... sounds like just the current song and dance that goes somewhere along the lines of allowing installing from unknown sources, dismissing the warning dialog it gives you, dismissing the warning dialog google play protect gives you, and then installing. just put a third lock on the door lol I'm sure that will help
Je vient d'apprendre qu'au Canada le discourt haineux (incluant l'appel au meurtre) est légal si la personne qui le prononce le fait de bonne foi en se basant sur ses convictions religieuses.
Pas cool.
- Le détraqué de service : Dieu m'a dit : "Il faut tous les tuer !", c'est même là, dans la Bible !
- Le reste du Canada : Les convictions religieuses, vous savez, ça force le respect...
🤣
The nice thing about having finished a game is that you can shamelessly start a new project afterwards.
Earlier this week I began working on a water simulation thing in C with Box2D and SDL... First I used the SDL renderer to just render some lines and circles to the screen. But after bolting on a nice water metaball shader with OpenGL I decided to just write my own 2D OpenGL renderer (uh, yes!).
Inspired by Hydroventure, you control the water by tilting the world and you can also make the water jump and collect it together. Hopefully I'll continue to work on it until it becomes something interesting.
In addition to controlling it using arrow keys on desktop I also got it running on my phone with the gyroscope as controls. I would probably say this is the intended way to control it.
I also tried to get a DS4 hooked up to my computer but SDL doesn't seem to use sensor data from connected game controllers - stuff like Dolphin require an external DSU server, but it seems like SDL might get a client for that in SDL 3.6.0 which sounds interesting.
Enjoy this terrible webcam recording showcasing a slightly older version running on my Android phone.
Yes.
This and the 3 micrometer wide scroll bar which is light gray on a slightly less light gray background.
Dogs are so good.
@lowqualityfacts I thought my sister's dogs barked at me (even if I went out only for a few minutes) because they had poor memories. Now I know why. :)
@lowqualityfacts im Deutschen gibt es das Sprichwort: Hunde die bellen, beißen nicht. - Sinngemäß etwas ähnliches.
trying to fit this 32,000 x 16,000 image on a site with a 10mb upload cap, tried webp cause compression and uhh ...
Fun fact! WEBP can only support images up to 16383x16383 in size, (png has no such silly limitations!)
@heredos the site supports uploading pngs the issue is the file is too big, (lol)
i realized the hi1 wiki has only the shitty map png the game includes, so i wanted to replace it with my renders but there too big :c

The new agentic Windws can generate mistakes for you.
You don't even have to do that anymore.
I could never live there.
@lowqualityfacts you know, a few years ago I was walking near my house and saw a huge nest (?) of tadpoles. I always look every year if they came back, but never did. So you might be right!
@lowqualityfacts So what do the French eat? Touché!
@lowqualityfacts the number of people who have commented on this post just believing the statement when the account name is "low quality facts" makes me tremble for humanity.
Please people, think.
@lowqualityfacts this is why they refer to the French as frogs. A continent isn’t a continent without frogs. Interestingly as a follow on, Antarctica has the highest frog biodiversity of all continents but they’re really chill about it, they almost never mention it at all
I've been rather lax about doing #JMusicFriday but I just saw the theme for this one is #Lazy . I have such an incredibly perfect song for this that I simply can't resist.
I still fail to understand how something like "Made in two weeks by a single-person" is supposed to be an incentive for me to buy a game.
It does the reverse effects.
what's the game?
I don't have a game in particular in mind.
I work as a game reviewer for an app store an I see that kind of comment in game description from time to time and it puzzle me every time....
For me it make the game looks botched and unfinished. :)
you see its not just that mojang is only allowing you to use the word "pride" in the marketplace and nothing else, its actually its just that the ESRB is transphobic
capital g gamers gonna go on about how the esrb is woke though anyway.. (i guess we can just all hate them lol)
this is some "dont say gay" level shit- your only allowed to say 'pride' and your also not allowed to mention queer kids exist, the entire thing has to be dumbed down to just "rainbows" "express yourself!" and other shit that could mean fucking anything
(ik they aren't but this makes it even worse honestly.)
(also, banning "proud youth" as if the youth had something to be ashamed of...)
@heredos its a queer slogan that was re-used by MAP-type for their shit-
also its not and never was about trying to protect children,
to say the ESRB exists to blindly follow demands of conservative puritian moral panic bullshit, is an understatement -- the ESRB exists specifically because of conservative puritan moral panic bullshit;
its the result of one(?) of the times they decided to scapegoat videogames as causing all the worlds problems.
night trap will never appear on a nintendo system
also im pretty sure if anyone dislikes the ESRB most its probably kids who arent 'allowed to' play the games they want ^^ which means its more about oppressing children than protecting them

Please listen to this podcast about ANOM:
https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/146/
The FBI ran a sting operation in Europe where they created their own 'secure' phone and messaging platform. Their OS used portions of our code and was heavily marketed as being GrapheneOS or based on GrapheneOS.
Through this operation, the FBI provided criminals in Europe with a communication network they heavily trusted. It gave them much more confidence to coordinate and commit crimes. The vast majority of this crime was ignored for years to avoid exposing ANOM as being a honey pot.
In cooperation with many European governments, the FBI heavily encouraged and facilitated organized crime in Europe. US and European governments facilitated drug trafficking, human trafficking, murders, rape, kidnapping and much more for years while claiming it was GrapheneOS.
It's an outrageous infringement on the GrapheneOS copyright and trademarks. US and European governments did massive harm to the GrapheneOS project through doing this. They placed us in very real danger of violence from organized crime by selling fake GrapheneOS devices to them.
GrapheneOS building technology to protect privacy and security is completely legal. Our work is strongly protected by Canadian, European and American laws. A minuscule portion of our userbase are criminals and the claims being made by the French government about that are lies.
It's very likely a lot of the crime facilitated by ANOM wouldn't have happened without these governments providing criminals with a communications network they believed was completely secure. The way they wrapped it up doesn't absolve them of what they facilitated for years.
France's government and law enforcement wants you to believe GrapheneOS and Signal are somehow responsible for crime. French law enforcement operates with impunity and has extraordinarily levels of corruption and criminal behavior. They're the ones committing and enabling crime.
@GrapheneOS @heredos ok but actually all laws are enforced by doing things to other people that would be considered a crime if anyone not named law enforcement did them. on a daily basis .. not just france either
@heredos ok so all cops have bad intentions, and ACAB ?
they facilitate harming people, and its like their entire thing?
(this but unironically .. sorry im a bit* tired of 'crime; and 'harm' being conflated)
(I understand your point about crime and harm being conflated. Although in anom's case it did lead to a lot of real harm, i'm still a bit brainwashed by our gov's public speaker's shortcuts. No one is perfectly immune to propaganda :)
