The company being successful probably wasn’t doing humanity any favors anyway

As long as they aren’t putting ridiculous terms on model usage like SD3 and the weights are provided I’m happy with it

I’m not sure how you’d tell unless there is some reputable source that claims they saw this search result themselves, or you found it yourself. Making a fake is as easy as inspect element -> edit -> screenshot.

Yeah but it’s funny in a different way; they are giving ignorant and condescending advice because while big cats have impressive hunting abilities, they don’t normally hunt mice.

entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he’s in way over his head

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions

I do like the idea of streamlining donations to open source projects directly through a package manager, and crypto seems like a good fit for that (decentralized, uncensorable). The issue here seems similar to knowing what charities are properly using funds; making a system to make decisions about how to spend money is hard when there’s so many people looking to misdirect it to themselves, and the point of this would be to relieve the people who would be donating the money from putting effort into doing the research themselves, so that big problem has to be solved.

This must be one of those people whose hobby is watching live car chases

Being polite is better than not being polite, but the way I see it, all user complaints are valid and are better not taken personally if possible. Maybe you as the developer didn’t do anything wrong that contributed to their problem, or are not actually in a position to resolve whatever their problem is, but it’s worth keeping in mind the bigger picture: how well peoples computers work to benefit their lives.

If someone is getting upset that they have to spend time troubleshooting, maybe because they didn’t understand something or made a mistake, there’s definitely other people going through the exact same less-than-ideal experience and not saying anything about it. That’s information about the state of how well things are working and it’s better for it to be out there in some form than not.

Modern version of this will be ChatGPT jailbreak messages

That’s a good point, I guess I haven’t been too aware of all that stuff.

The rights to search sure are, but it’s more like Google happens to be the one paying it right now. It could be Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone.

I don’t buy that what they are paid reflects the value of their search rights. Google has antitrust interest in the continued existence of Firefox, that’s why they would pay them, doesn’t matter what they say it’s for.

Isn’t that their main source of revenue?

Occasionally when I do web stuff I look into the big frameworks but quickly get overwhelmed and go back to simple html/css/js, so yeah I kind of just don’t get what the point is or why anyone needs or wants complexity there. Large websites always do most stuff serverside anyway it seems, so where is this complexity even getting used? It is very mysterious to me. Suspect Google etc. are pushing stuff no one needs in this regard as well to move the web towards something only they can handle.

They are funded by Google. I much prefer the “some random guys or whoever will fork their code” model of software for this sort of thing.

What’s stopping web standards from being made simple or unchanging enough for a smaller project to maintain a functional web browser?

I normally have it output toy examples of the syntax I don’t want to bother learning and then remix that into what I need. IMO it’s better than stackoverflow because stackoverflow code is more likely to be not really what you were searching for or not actually run because the author didn’t bother testing it and there’s a typo or something.
