It’s just incredibly funny that the site that tried to fight spam and ad bots because it harms user experience is now implementing spam and ad bots to harm user experience.

Obviously that’s okay because it’s their spam and ad bots!

And because they are such black boxes, there’s the sector of Explainable AI which attempts to provide transparency.

However, in order to understand data from explainable AI, you still need domain experts that have experience in interpreting what that data means and how to make changes.

It’s almost as if any reasonably complex string of operations requires study. And that’s what tech marketing forgets. As you said, it all has to come from somewhere.

This seems to be the new normal though unfortunately.

It’s normal that 5-10 percent generational improvement on a product (6800 XT - > 7800 XT) is celebrated and seen as good product, when in reality it’s just a little less audacious than what we had to deal with before and with Nvidia.

It’s normal that publishers and game studios don’t care about how their game runs, even on console things aren’t 100 percent smooth or often the internal rendering resolution is laughably bad.

The entire state of gaming at the moment is in a really bad place, and it’s just title after title after title that runs like garbage.

I hope it’ll eventually stabilize, but I m not willing to spend 1000s every year just to be able to barely play a stuttery game with 60 fps on 1440p. Money doesn’t grow on trees, which AAA game studios certainly seem to think so.

Yes GI and baked in RT / PT is expensive, but there need to be alternatives for people with less powerful hardware, at least until accelerators have become so powerful and are common in lower end cards to make it a non issue.

Round and round and round.

It’s the same all over again. MS got a slap on their wrists with the browser choice tool they had to introduce in Windows 7.

Then everyone forgot about it and they started forcing Edge on users. Now they get a slap on their wrist again and the same will happen in another 10 years.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s really awesome and I’m glad that EU regulations actually have a impact. But I still wish for more, more permanent and stricter anti monopoly laws.

It was a really good time when the new chromium edge just came out and was a lean, quick and bs-free browser with a few power user features.

Vertical tabs via extension and userchrome mods in Firefox sadly don’t have the polish compared to MS Edge or Vivaldi.

It’s fine, but I find it clashing with the browser history sidebar, and being tuned off by default in private tabs.

It can come close, but until (if ever) official support will be provided, It’ll always feel like a bandaid fix to me.

For that reason I keep both vertical and horizontal tabs enabled. On other browsers with native support I never missed them, in Firefox however I need both. Relying on sidebar-powered vertical tabs alone is not a good User experience.

I would be shocked if I install an OS and couldn’t open media.

Choice is good but giving a direction is also a good idea. Maybe they could introduce a media pack of some sorts.

Screencap / screenshot tools should be included by default tho.

Reading about reddit for me nowadays is like seeing a tech news article for something that doesn’t concern me.

It doesn’t feel really relevant anymore. I think that’s a good thing given that I feel like I can find most of the content I used to go to reddit for on the fediverse. With higher quality even. People seem to be of more diverse options as well, which is great.
