100%. Every now and again people keep bringing up the idea of introducing a hurdle in the Netherlands as well, and I’m always strongly opposed. It doesn’t even do what people expect it to, and there are other ways to achieve that goal too.

The last one was the traffic light coalition, right? Red (SPD), yellow (FDP) and green (Greens)?

coalition of even more parties.

Even more than two?

As a Dutch person, haha. (I don’t actually mind broad coalitions though.)

Surprise, in ten more (Chinese) electric car companies will have an even further lead, and the job losses happen anyway!

It seems like those factors would be the same within Norway and outside.

I think he did, but I’m not sure if he called that out explicitly. Basically the recommendation is: yeah, try it, but also, all the power it gives you can make you go off the deep end. Don’t fall for the trap of trying to build your own editing software.

WebKit is Safari, Firefox is Gecko. But Gecko is mainly supported by Mozilla, so if Mozilla can’t support it financially, it remains to be seen whether someone else can or will (and if so, how).

Shows that when you sign away your right to democracy, it’s really hard to get it back.

NixOS I wouldn’t recommend to a beginner (maybe Nixbook, I’m not familiar), but Fedora Silverblue: holy hell maintenance is so low-effort. Major version upgrades are literally the same level of effort as regular updates, and take about as long. And they’re waaaaay less likely to break than conventional major upgrades. I’d recommend that to beginners and advanced users alike.

Renames might be the quickest way to accrue technical debt :P

I’m very happy they’ve got polls now though, that’ll streamline a lot of communication. Live location sharing would be good too.

Really depends on your infrastructure, but I’d set up some snapshot tests that just make calls to the APIs with known responses, and run that in a cronjob and have it alert you if it fails.

Also sounds like these were just municipal elections, or am I reading that incorrectly?

The main problem with CSAM is not you encountering it, the problem is children being abused when producing it. Whether the material produced reaches a wide audience doesn’t impact their suffering. So what’s relevant is the scale at which it’s being produced, which I think is fairly independent of the likelihood of you encountering it without looking for it.

My fix for those sites is to never visit them again. Horrible.

We got vertical tabs, that’s a good first step. I imagine full-on tree-style tabs is more work, though in combination with (non-AI) tab groups it has already replaced my use of Sidebery. A tree of tabs would be nice though.

There’s some more information about this and some other cases in this Dutch article from a while ago. It also mentions that they are still likely to have the option of migrating as a skilled worker or entrepreneur, but they considered requesting political asylum to be the correct route for now.

Hmm could be different commenting styles; I, and I think the thread started as well, regularly broaden a topic in response to an article. So my interpretation when they spoke about people having “AI as a trigger word” was that they were referring to people with concerns about more than just agentic AI. But if you want to limit it to that, feel free to ignore my original reference to search engines.

It was my impression that the thread started wasn’t just talking about agentic AI. And I think a lot of the “anti AI folks” here are also angry about recent non-agentic AI additions that Mozilla added, such as e.g. tab recommendations for tab groups.

It’s interesting that so many of those privacy-focused individuals use Windows and don’t have a single extension installed though.
