And so it ends. Firefox has fallen. The bright star that once saved us from the tyranny and madness of Internet Explorer, has given up on its mission theverge.com/tech/845216/moz…

Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo is taking charge of one of the internet’s most important — and most complicated — companies.

only to become another piece of bloatware like so many others emanating from the moats of corporations that have completely forgotten how to serve their users. Let's all hold a minute of silence for the end of an era.

Hey @crashplan, your "Licence plan" page on the user account dashboard has an error, doesn't fully load, and this has been preventing me from updating my payment information. I already contacted you with no success. I'm about to get my account deleted.

Can someone explain to me how the fuck we let this shitshow become the most used programming platform on the planet? I'm running pnpm install on Linux, on a 64 bit AMD CPU. WTF is this?

Hey @OVHcloud, why do you offer a Portuguese version of your website but no way to choose Portugal as a country when registering an account? I'm trying to give you my hard-earned money and I'm stuck in a registration screen that has all the countries in the world except Portugal.

And also no way to reach support, of course. Which is a huge red flag in and of itself.

Obrigado pelo aviso #ctt. É um pouco em cima da hora mas não há problema, devo conseguir tirar o dia de férias para ficar em casa o dia inteiro à espera da vossa entrega, sem stress.

OpenAI, who profited insane amounts of money from essentially using the entire world's intelectual property, is now complaining that another company did the same to them. Priceless irony. theverge.com/news/601195/ope…

OpenAI has evidence that its models helped train China’s DeepSeek

Sucking in data you didn’t ask permission for? Sounds familiar.

Before someone jumps at this, I know OpenAI is not financially profitable yet. You know what I meant, drop the strawman arguments.

We needed to stay below 1.5°C warming to avoid global catastrophe and an unlivable planet for our kids. World leaders pinky promised to try to not exceed 3.1°C, meaning we will go beyond that. And no one is freaking out about this? What am I missing? news.slashdot.org/story/24/1…

Global Temperatures Likely To Exceed Key Limit For First Time - Slashdot

With October's initial temperature data in, 2024 will rank as the first calendar year in modern record-keeping in which global average surface temperatures exceed the Paris Agreement's aspirational...

Can we, as a society, finally stop acting like LLMs (or as too many people call it, "AI") can reason? And therefore, can we finally stop trusting LLMs to make decisions or even "teach" us? arstechnica.com/ai/2024/10/l…

Apple study exposes deep cracks in LLMs’ “reasoning” capabilities

Irrelevant red herrings lead to "catastrophic" failure of logical inference.

Adoro os dois pesos e duas medidas que tanto se aplicam em tanta coisa em Portugal. Em Almada, a #WeMob, enquanto reboca os carros de uns por estarem mal estacionados, tem a sua própria viatura mal parada, e ainda por cima a tapar uma garagem. ❤️1/3

Certamente me responderiam, como já responderam outras vezes em que lhes chamei a atenção para deverem ser eles os primeiros a dar o exemplo, "então mas onde é que queria que parássemos o carro, se não há lugares aqui?" Longe, se for necessário, como todos nós temos de fazer. 2/3

Caso contrário, que moral têm para rebocar ou bloquear os carros das pessoas que fazem exactamente a mesma pergunta? 3/3

Why do people give out your phone number, and publish photos and videos of you, your family, your house, your car, on social media, without even mentioning it to you? Why do they react as if you were offending them, when you ask them to not do that? What happened to privacy?

No ano em que se comemoram 50 anos do fim da ditadura em Portugal, damos um voto de confiança gigantesco a André Ventura e ao seu partido de extrema direita. A minha desilusão com o nosso povo não pára de crescer. Que vergonha.

Só não digo que merecemos tudo o que daqui vier porque isso seria condenar os que não têm culpa nenhuma.
