Sometimes I do that because I forget to take my shirt off.

Plant based diets, specially in Europe, and very important for food security. Europe is small and very densily populated, which means there's not a lot more places where we can farm. If we eat more plants instead of more meat, we reduce the amount of space needed. It also requires less energy, and farming still uses a lot of fossile fuels, which in Europe come from abroad. On top of that, population is growing, in great part due to immigration, so this problem will only grow.

So yeah, more plant based meals mean more food security and energy security for Europe.

The US would not be able the stop a BRICS common currency. And the Euro is already used in "more GDP" than the US. It will happen organically. Unless the US plans to attack Europe I can't imagine what they can do.

Haha yeah, but I think it's important to distinguish between pollution and CO2. A bit of CO2 in the air is fine.

The amount of oxygen in the air is hardly changing and would support human life easily after climate change goes bananas. The amount of CO2 that is causing climate change is actually quite tiny even though it doubled or tripled since pre-industrial times. It's still far less than 0.5% (the safe recommended amount) of the atmosphere. You could triple the current CO2 levels, which would be devastating for the climate, and still breath perfectly fresh air.

But what about the economy??? We need profits now not tomorrow.

That would probably not happen at a human scale. Civilization would collapse and nature would heal.

Extinction is highly unlikely. End of civilization perhaps, but humans are extremely hardy and versatile. You would be hard pressed to kill all humans in all biomes.

It already kinda works 95% of the way. But more often than not the last 5% still requires you to understand everything the AI did which can be hard. If it was you implementing everything, you'd already have the whole context in working memory. I've been learning better prompting and getting better at it. I think it thrives in typed languages and where the code base has clear design patterns it can follow.

The DMA came for Google and Meta too in different ways.

 
 
 

I'm not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.

Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.

  • The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
  • the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.

So yeah that's my rant. I'll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

 
 

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
