I just think:

how many living species have been on earth? Millions probably

How many of those species are intelligent? 1

How long have this intelligent species been around? Nothing at a cosmic timescale.

How many of this intelligent species have become “interstellar”? 0

I don’t think those numbers can be extrapolate, even to the observable universe, to ensure that there are any species capable of interestellar travel around. Living species and even intelligent ones? Maybe. But a long lasting inteligent and interestellar species? We are not an example of that, so we have 0 examples to extrapolate. Only our wishful thinking that humanity will last longer and keep progressing, but that is just a hope, not real yet.

I do self host several AI applications for myself on a low end device and I think for most lowend even mid devices local AI is unfeasible. Nowadays is too much resource heavy and times are too long without high end devices.

For my computer generating a description of a picture (one of the firefox new features) could easily take up to 5-10 minutes with the cpu at 100%. That’s just not viable for doing while browsing.

Anyway I would love for firefox to open source the server side of this. So in case someone have s computer powerful enough they could do it locally if they want to.

Libraries where good for before the XXI century. Nowadays the amount of content they had is pretty small. Most libraries don’t really has anything but the more famous books.

We live in a system that actively prevents humans to get more knowledge, go figure.

Hot take: Sports are not that important, and it’s not the end of the world if someone in the other team is “physically better” than you.

Sports should be just played for fun and for making exercise, not as a profession. And the whole sports industry should be taken down all together. Make all sports amateur and just for the fun of it and suddenly it really doesn’t mather who is on your team or in the other team.

No everything has to be for profit in this life.

I’ve no contract with them, I’ve not made any purchases. They post something online for anyone to see.

They are completely free of locking their content behind a paywall, there are plenty of platforms for that.

But I want to make my first statement clear: no every single thing any human being does has to be done just for the sole purpose of getting an economical profit. That would be the death of humanity.

I still remember 90s internet when we had tons of websites with lots of content that was just there because the creators were fans of such content, no further intentions. Barely any ads or monetization whatsoever. The ‘shark’ mentality is killing internet.

I’m glad they came out as what they already were.

It was clear that they did not feel as a non-profit foundation for many years now.

I’ve been way more than a decade (closer to two decades) uninterruptedly using Firefox. I’ve never used chrome as a my main browser, ever.

But still, I’ll be naive if I didn’t recognize that this kind of shit will affect me even if it’s just indirectly.

Next year they’ll surely will be forcing many webs only working in “manifest V3 compliant browsers”. I’m sure of that.

If you are not talking about the past, present and future of Hannah Montana Linux I’m not even talking to you.
