I know people who use AI in real life a lot, I think it is fine to use ChatGPT to help write an email, but some people use it daily for everything. Now you can find AI in WhatsApp, so I am fully expecting people to talk go each other using Meta AI. I am just tired of seeing it everywhere, it is good for stocks though, just say the word AI and suddenly the stock skyrockets.

I doubt anyone will register to any lemmy instance that does this. One of the reasons people use lemmy is privacy.

This is insanity, humanity is slowly losing its mind. They want AI for everything.

I use this filter in ublock to remove them: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt.

These things are very privacy invading, many of them have information that can identify the users. I don’t think douglasg14b knows what he is talking about. Yes they are query parameters, but they are used for many things such as advertisment for example or referrals, I think it is fine to remove query parameters that are not necessary.

Sometimes the website sends sensitive data through query strings which is a common security issue.

I remember reading about Gumroad it used to be mostly for NSFW art, but they did a Tumblr and banned it. Maybe this is related to the loss of revenue.

Edit: found the article

There are two new browsers coming Servo written in Rust and Ladybird (web browser) written in Swift. Lets see which one will win. Ladybird alpha is coming in 2026 and they have more funding.

Windows 11.

I test firefox vs edge in my pc, both with ublock origin. Firefox noticeably uses more ram than edge which uses same engine as chrome.

Here this person saw the same results as me: https://libreddit.bus-hit.me/r/firefox/comments/18gp19l/ram_usage_in_firefox_vs_edge

It will still lower memory usage considerably, Firefox uses way more memory than Chrome. Memory optimization is horrible in Firefox.

I can’t wait for Servo to be finished so I can move away from Firefox, it uses way too much memory.

I do have bookmarks for music too, I used to open more than 30. I now bookmark lot of them. Trying to reduce numbers of tabs little by little, I used to open so many tabs that I got an arrow and had to press it to reach the other tabs.

I am still sane compared to these people:

Come on 30 tabs is nothing, read the bug report. The guy in the bug report open about a 1000 in totals, I don’t even know how to keep up with that many tabs.

What?

Lol I open them to look at later, and I also open lots songs on youtube to listen to and switch between songs rather than reopen the songs over and over I just keep it open.

I haven’t tested it at my home laptops, but my work laptop all tabs become slow. I have to restart it every time.

I only have around 30 open and I don’t turn off the laptop, after a while firefox becomes sluggish and I have to restart it.

Lol, that is certainly true and you would need to also set it up manually which even power users might not be able to do. Thankfully there is an easy to follow guide here: https://ai-guide.future.mozilla.org/content/running-llms-locally/.

It gives you many options on what to use, you can use Llama which is offline. Needs to be enabled though about:config > browser.ml.chat.hideLocalhost.

Bluesky uses AT Protocol and Mastodon uses ActivityPub which makes it impossible to federate. Bluesky does allow you to host your own servers though, so you can consider its own fediverse.
