No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter
Mozilla's pivot to AI first browsing raises fundamental questions about what a browser should be.Alex Kontos (Waterfox)

I found that Screen-Space Roughness limiter can introduce blocky artifacts. I suppose it's because derivatives work in quads (4 pixel groups).
It's probably content-specific but the effect is ON by default, and so you might have had stairsteppy artifacts and not known where do they come from.

i can't believe how many people are flocking to closed source chrome forks like Vivaldi in the light of Firefox's AI stuff, when stuff like Waterfox is right there
For the record, Waterfox has said not to use AI: waterfox.com/support/ai-chatboโฆ
"Waterfox does not include a builtโin AI chatbot integration. If you want AI assistance in the browser, you can install a compatible extension from Firefox Add-ons."
if you want to actually keep using Firefox and not some closed source Chrome fork, try Waterfox
Welcome to the resistance
(BTW for me Vivaldi synchs bookmarks, open tabs, notes, reading list etc flawlessly between multiple mobile/pad/ desktop instances)
I notice people posting about trying to get a job, so here's hoping that an appropriate candidate reads this.
My employer is looking for someone with devops skills (Linux, databses, networking and development) who's willing to work in Singapore.
The job involves supporting customers (mostly banks) running financial software.
Let me know if you want to know more.
Not sure what hashtag to use for this, so feel free to boost.

What it takes to run a sub 3:30 Marathon?
The last running plan that I finished this year was a 22 weeks Marathon plan, below are some stats:
Total distance: 1,388 km
Total time: 136:45:16
Strength training: 1,027 sets total
Fastest avg pace: 4:29 /km
Longest run (not race): 32 km
PBs: 5k @ 20:10
I finished the race strong in 3:29:38 as planned with 1.5% negative splits. I was very happy with how the entire race went, my fueling strategy, and everything in between ๐
I'm now chasing a sub 3 hrs PB. Do you think it's realistic?

Enough people have taken this premise apart that I don't have to do a whole thread on it.
But I did want to point out this paragraph, that is one of the most Anti-African things I've read recently.
This long-termism and great replacement nonsense is seeping into brains and cooking them.

yeah, it's a bashism, and it's โbasicallyโ syntax sugar for pipes, but very useful especially when you need more than one (I use it often with vimdiff).
For a single one you can *usually* just use a plain pipe if you need a more POSIX-compliant way of doing things, i.e.
curl whatever | left -
*if* the right-hand-side program supports the common convention of indicating standard input with -. Otherwise, /dev/stdin will usually work just as well.
