Hasn’t been the case so far with sidebar, Firefox view, Pocket or any other stuff I’ve not wanted in the past. If they did start doing dark patterns bullshit with this AI stuff, then yeah, I’d switch. In the meantime, I’ll use FF until it gets worse than the alternatives, or an alternative gets better than FF, whichever comes first.

This is good enough for me. If they have an on boarding step/popup to say “Try our AI crap” and I have an option to say “No and don’t ever bother me about this again”, then it’s fine.

It gave up

I am using Dynu. It works fine and it’s free, no complaints. Their app for Linux to update periodically didn’t seem to work well from my experience, I just set up a cron job to do it instead.

If they were going to get enshittified, they should’ve been smarter about it to gradually introduce lock-in. The switching cost of going to Jellyfin is almost zero. Did it in an afternoon about a year ago. Ya done goofed, Plex

Anyone hear a loud hissing sound?

Who wants to give me a billion dollars to dig a hole and I’ll give you a billion to fill it back in and we’ll both say to investors we posted a billion dollars in revenue.

Raymond’s book is an amazing read and full of stories very much like this one.

Communities, friends, family and media are your discovery algorithm! Get involved in things. It makes your music acquisitions meaningful and makes the experience of discovering and listening to music so much better.

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying

It’s actually a really good representation of how execs are viewing AI. It’s a bunch of meaningless graphs and pictures of robots with the word ‘AI’ sprinkled over the place, the whole thing is backwards for the worker, and it’s imaginary.
