Lets hope they stay true to their words and do not deprecate Manifest V2 later, since firefox is an open source project, theoretically anyone could fork it and build this on their own, but I heard compile-times for firefox is long. And as complexity of the web increases maintaining your own forked web browser will become harder and harder. That is why projects like Ladybird are important imo.

As more and more webpages do not support firefox anymore (Notion did not work for me today) the web will become unusable in a dystopian Manifest-V3 only future.

As Firefox will introduce Manifest V3 which will make ad-blockers unusable, I hope they will not implement that as well … But since this is so new, this will not have any add-ons at all for the foreseeable future

Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.

What will they do next?

• More advertisement.
• More features that require an always on internet connection?
• Forced restart for software updates

This is why I expect Linux share to slowly increase until the old computers die and you will not be allowed to choose to boot another operating system besides Windows on your Microsoft-Copilot+ PC that would be your only option.

youtube will also become harvested for AI data. And filled with AI functionality in the future. ergo: Look out for alternatives.

Humans may test garbage knowledge in real life and experience failure. So in that sense no?

Some nice communities are locked in that deepest level of hell & despair …

7 deadly Sins? 7 deadly Sinners?

use html tables with large borders … or that is how I feel the old times look

is this … transparent Aluminium?

Now I Question why this should be better than wood? While trees grow fine in nature without human presence, the Mushrooms breeding has to be closely monitored and energy has to be invested into nutrients and temperature regulation. Maybe wood and Mushrooms could be combined but I do not see this completely remove the wood use case.

Lawyers and copyright issues-- the legal system, they are probably always bombarded from all sides by the legal industry and content creators on copy right issues.

So divert the flow to africa maybe? where they do not have smart phones yet? Oh – they do not have electricity networks there, so maybe sell them with solar chargers.

I asked a similar question previously one of the makers of lemmy responded to me:

Open an issue on that or write a bot

… I thought sometime in the future I will make such a bot … but turns out I need to use typescript for that.

How are they disgusting? When I see them they look quite cute.

Some automated algorithms can be good for content discovery and discovery of new creators tho

• if you are to lazy to type in your search term into a text box
• if you do not even know how to articulate the name of the content you search for in text form

These automatic suggestion algorithms are perfect for mindless scrolling in an entertainment sense … these ranking algorithms justify the massive data collection we witness today.

I wonder if there is another way of decentralized way of content creator discovery without the current drawbacks.

Purely text based content is way easier on the servers. If all Lemmy users uploaded videos and high res images all the time, the servers could not keep up, right?

• consider that they use hardware that is run on donation (or their own) money

I think we are in a transition phase right now, after some time this kind of “bitching about reddit / twitter whatever” trend will cool down.

is there a human behind such decisions or is it just an automated algorithm?
