at some point you just gotta accept the fact that 99.9% of the modern net was designed with google chrome in mindi know firefox is great at privacy but when it comes to just general usability over the web, chrome has it beat
>>107595631SAAR IT'S JUST TIP
Has anyone figured out whomtve is behind the constant anti Firefox spam yet? These threads have a wumao feeling to them but I don't remember Mozilla ever saying anything against China so idk maybe it's just some autist.

>>107595631>just gotta accept the fact that 99.9%Is that a fact, tho?And even if it is, can you actually make me accept it?More importantly, you should be questioning how this came to be.>the modern net was designed with google chrome in mindHTTP is only a tiny chunk of 'the net'... As chrome can't actually do... most of that, what makes you think it was designed for chrome?Just because all the internet is to *you* is a few shitty websites, doesn't mean that's all it is...>>107596467>The internet no longer really exists.Oh. It does.There's just shit all in the way. The desperate grab for monetisation in the 90's normalised the enshittification process what has just accelerated and intensified.

So what? Other browsers still work fine even if web designers don't bother testing with them. There's no way I'm using Chrome as anything other than a containment zone.
Karl Marx is:From each according to his abilityTo Each according to his need + the command for a centralized worker's state thats suppose to nationalize all industries and eventually collapse into a workers utopia. Lore of primitive communism -> slaverly -> feudalism -> capitalism -> state centralized sociallism -> communism being a linear path in history. Daily life is seen as an epic battle of good workers vs evil capitalist. Which gets "workers" and "capitalist" get searched and replaced with "gay" vs "straight" "black vs "white" "women" vs "patriarchy" "trans" vs "gender conforming" - the timeless epic battle gets readapted.FOSS is:Those with abilites make software for hobbies, personal gain, and passion. Those with needs get whats avalible but are not entitled to the able'ds laborNeeds are meet because the abled person's passion project coincidentatly helped others. here is no state agency commanding those with needs receive software it just happens through spontaneous order.+ advocacy for FOSS focuses heavily on digital decentralized and not being interdependent on big tech, no lore of an epic battle, utopia, or model that captures all of human history but there is an us vs them against big tech to be fair.Gay straight, trans, black, white just get along and develop cool software.

>>107595374>FOSS uses voluntary contracts like the GPL3 anyone can enter or leave at any time, FOSS critiques the Government's patent mopoly and peacefully builds alternative systems, small buisness owners can power their companies with it. I wonder what side FOSS is really on?And they accept and recognize capitalist rights, don't directly attack and try to dismantle big tech and end up being minority players in a capitalist hellscape
>>107592788Because in its core its an altruism based ideology.The result of it is that some people feel entitled to the givs and demand from you to work for free.No problem anon you always learn something new.
>>107592788>Why do some people compare FOSS to Marx/communismThey're retards. Next question.
>>107596210>marx doesnt really explain shit on how to get to communismI know he barely wrote about communism's end result but we have clues. He described it as a stateless classless society without a division of labor. But he does explain partially how to get there. We know he called for a shift of class consciousness to get people to realize the great battle of workers vs bosses, unite and for workers to seize control of the GOVERNMENT then use state force. Where he was not clear Lenin took over with a vanguard interpretation. I agree Lenin wasn't following him 100%Also why would Proudhon, Bakunin and others critique Marx for a centralized state leading to authoritarianism, why would Tucker say Marx was an ally of equality but very strong foe of liberty? The soviet union proved it was a hell.The reason I disagree with you on [not explaining shit on how to get to communism] isWikipedia: The phrase "dictatorship of the proletariat" was first used by Karl Marx in aseries of articles which were later republished as The Class Struggle inFrance 1848–1850.^[7] The term dictatorship indicates full control of themeans of production by the state apparatus. >he fucking rejected the good vs bad narrComment too long.

Marx barely wrote about a communist utopia for the same stupid ass reason the Christian bible barely describe heaven in detail. Heaven is frequently mentioned in the bible but rarely described what its like there and the pleasures in it about it. At least Buddhist fleshed out their heaven realms leaving less to the imagination. But Buddhist don't view heaven as an ultimate escape from SamsaraMy point is whenever flamboyant politically motivated college students day dream. They imagine the perfect luxury society which they don't have words for. They just loosely describe it with blissful emotions where everything is free, everyone lives in harmony without war and has universal education free government healthcare and not to mention "conquering the oppressive white patriarchical cis gender heteronormative system" Glossing over real world conflict and ignoring the natural world's clues on why society is a mess. Instead just blame it all on capitalism and say the alternative communism is a loose fairy magic enchanted land of pleasure. Marx was doing the same thing with communism with his end of history story or with that anti division of labor quote where he talks about someone post utopia hunting in the morning, fishing in the evening and rearing cattle in the afternoon. I believe the division of labor is the natural result of humans moving to agricultural societies from hunter gatherer and realizing some people are better at certain skills and dividing labor = better survival. But instead Marx thinks its exploitation and oppression. In example I am skilled at image processing with GEGL I don't have a fucking clue how to take care of farm animals and if I did I'd need to put 100s of hours of work to learn how to do it sufficently. Perhaps black Luke Smith alt name Thought Criminal will show up one day and teach me how to raise and breed chickens and I will teach him how to make GIMP plugins and shitpost on /g/ like a champ
Why did monitor tech get so bad in the past 5 years? I wanted to treat myself and consoom a little and it's just companies selling OLED slop or overpriced IPS. MiniLED are sparse and are all chinkshit and almost as expensive as a decent OLED.>So it's either, pay $200-$300 for old inferior but functional IPS tech>$400-$500 for MiniLED and deal with haloing, IPS glow or VA smearing>$500-$1000 for OLED and deal with burn in, text fringing and flickering
>Yeah I use OLED, how'd you know?
>>107597435>yeah i frequent reddit and misconstrue image retention after having the screen on for 2 days as burn in because i can't afford oled, how do you know?
>>107592604Basically, to get you to buy more more often. VRR is a poorly implemented technology, so you really have two choices:Invest heavily into this technology with a $700+ monitor or buy a cheap $200 monitor.With either option you're getting flawed tech that will make marginal improvements over the next few years. The heavy investors won't check for a few years, unless theres a huge leap, but its a nice $700 chunk. The cheapie poors are the ones that will sustain the manufacturer's business model of year after year purchases. Alll this eventually will disappear once they figure out subscription based performance features like VRR 3.7, AMD Local Dimming Plus, or whatever else these whores want to lock behind an internet connection and sub.
>>107592604>Why did monitor tech get so bad in the past 5 years?What do you mean? OLED has gotten actually cheaper and with plenty of options for the average tard. >>$500-$1000 for OLED and deal with burn in, text fringing and flickeringTruly said like someone never actually used OLEDs and just believes memes parroted by others.

https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-claude-ai-vending-machine-agent-b7e84e34This experiment shows what llm's are currently capable of, so we will not achieve AI with current level of technology.

Is there any real difference between 320 and FLAC?
>>107597468
>>107590972There are many factors that will influence if you can hear the difference. How it's recorded/mastered is one but also your DAC and speakers/headphones. And your hearing of course. In most situations there is no noticeable difference.
Why not use AAC instead of MP3? I understand that people don't use Opus for compatibility reasons, but AAC is supported by anything that's not ancient
>>107597468>>107590972but FLACs sound crispy and mp3 320's dont
>>107598277that's just your mind. they're the same recording.

According to HN, these new models are so powerful that the code writes itself, and bugs are easily detected and fixed.But then you have major libraries like pic related LibXML2 that are going under- or unmaintained.
