The majority cost of Firefox is engineering.

Any cutbacks will negatively affect the ability for Firefox to keep up and will probably start a slow decline towards collapse and irrelevance.

The big thing for me is privacy and control.

Plex requires Cloud access via accounts.

This is a sitting duck for subpoenas to mass punish media libraries once copyright holders get a more friendly government that cares less about citizens rights (which is coming up here soon).

Nothing about my jelly fin instance leaks my information to anyone else's servers.

You can't say the same about Plex.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

But better.

This is so on the nose, I love it.

As a male who quite enjoys having said orface impaled by (lady) dick. These folks need to start enjoying life instead of hating it and dragging everyone else down with them.

Ravenously asperate dong nog

Brother, your killing me here, this is epic.

Chrome has a massive market share and Google abuses that market share by breaking web standards, and pushing people towards Chrome because "the competition doesn't work".

They act in bad faith and abuse their position to more deeply entrench their position in anticompetitive monopolistic ways.

That's the Crux of it.

It's a pretext. And can expand to anyone the state doesn't want around.

Deportation doesn't have to be immediate, you could end up in a cage indefinitely.

Portland Oregon was a sneak preview of what Trump will do (Sending federal resources where they are explicitly not wanted, and kidnapping citizens)

Because that's a typical demographics question for any survey worth it's salt?

Interpreting MRI scans?

Translating language?

Object detection on assembly lines?

Object detection to sort recycling?

Identifying disease markers?

Classifying data?

....etc

Things that it's been used for for ages now, and has become ubiquitous for.

It already has been applied to healthcare, and nearly every other industry, and has been for more than a decade.

The current LLM hype is the only thing most people know of when they hear "AI". Which is a shame.

[–] douglasg14b 2 points 2 months ago

Peak hype-based ignorance 🤣

Being this confident while also not knowing how AI has been in use for more than the last decade, and going off on a rant on AI mistakes when a defining feature of AI is to solve problems that classical programming cannot, but without guaranteed results, is cringe AF

I mean, generally, it is.

It's just that the uneducated masses don't realize that "AI" outside of today's LLMs has been improving our technological life for well over a decade now.

And so abused and misused for just as long. LLms and the hype and slop is a relatively new thing, this is old, useful, technology.

"Eradicated" is literally impossible, entire swathes of industries can only operate at the levels of efficiency they have come to rely on because of specialized models. And have for ages now, long before the hype and slop started.

Not every model is an LLM 🤦

My brother in Lemmy, how do you think they pay their engineers?

Would you rather them try and get revenue through advertising means? Because that's what it sounds like, no decision is a decision.
