I don’t know about Poland but I know about France (I would guess we’re not so far appart on this point).

While 95% of railways are electrified, those last 5% are not very worth it to invest in, because really low traffic and hard to operate (eg. in mountains). I’ve already heard of compromises, like hybrid locomotives that can run on battery for more than half the line and rely on diesel for the remaining.

This. I can’t wait to test bazzite, a community alternative of steamos 3, which would never have been possible if the deck wasn’t so open.

Not cool wishing people death :/

Plus it won’t be efficient as most cancer form after you’re not fertile anymore.

I used a work laptop without swap for a while and it was very anoying. RAM intensive tasks were Rust IDE integration and compilation, data engineering, …

How is “don’t rely on content you have no right to use” litteraly impossible?

We teach to children that there is a Google filter to include only the CC images (that they should use for their presentations).

Also it’s not like we are talking small companies here, a new billion-making industry is being born and it could totally afford contracts with big platforms that would allow to use their content.

Are they selling back scrapped content? I thought it was only user behaviors through the ad network?

About cataloging at least it is opt-out though robot.txt 🤷

EDIT: plus, “we are already doing bad” is never a good argument to continue doing bad, if Google were to be in fault this could get the traction to slap their ass

I have to admit my comment is not really relevant to the article itself (also, I read only the free part of it).

It was more a reaction to the comment above, which felt more generic. My concern about LLMs is that I could never find an auditable list of websites that were crawled, which would be reasonable to ask for, I think.

So yesterday I saw someone bragging on how there wasn’t ads everywhere in Lemmy… 😅

I hope it will have a jack too, but my FP3 should hold until FP6 is released anyway 🤞

I think you think too much, most people just want a browser that works and they have one preinstalled on their phone / computer. So when you arrive and recommend Firefox they just hear “Hey ! You have a browser that works, why won’t you spend time installing this one that works just as fine, I swear”.

Extensions and privacy might look like killer features but they are a bit too abstract to be adoption arguments (why would you even need extensions if your browser is so good).

I’ve not been around windows users for a while, but last time I checked my mom was very lost when she had to start an app which hasn’t an icon on her desktop.

More generally I heard that in general having to rely on a tutorial means bad design, which seems reasonable.

Of course it’s hard to estimate how new user will react without proper testing, I’ll trust the Gnome team who proved to be good at their job 🙂
