Firefox on Android is just fine. I’ve been using it since, idk, maybe 2017? I’ve used it through some genuinely awful times. It’s fine now. It really is. Also, Brave is not a fork of Firefox. Brave is a Chromium fork.

It’s mostly used in code reviews, I wouldn’t say it’s general online slang.

Yeah, the whole point was that it was like $35 and small.

I know its minimal, I’m not saying it’s a concern, I’m just saying if we are harvesting it, doesn’t that mean it’s pulling us closer to it? It’s not magically free energy (in the physics sense), so what else could it be other than converting the potential gravitational energy between the earth and moon into something else?

But does harvesting it make it go faster or slower away?

On the one hand, I get you, but on the other hand, a lot of math people aren’t doing by hand, but it’s still important for a foundational understanding.

This raises an interesting question in my mind, does tidal power make the earth get closer to the moon? Because if you got all the energy out of it, then the water wouldn’t move, so I guess it’s the same as gravitational potential in that sense, but I guess it’s removing it, so less gravitational potential means either less mass (not the case) or less distance.

The AI stuff is so frustrating. I’m terrified to really talk about how I feel about it, because my opinions are too nuanced to be shared in a bullet point in a performance review. Everywhere I’ve been lately, it’s been about how much you use something, not about your output.

Cachy btw

Claude, reverse enginer plane, make no mistake.

I think from context they mean auto pushing firmware over the Internet.

I’ll do it on your behalf so that it’s used, but that you don’t have to say you used an emoji.

But surely we can agree it’s strange to post something a year old on this particular community. especially something like this, that in context of what’s been going on with Discord really makes it seem like fresh news.

Now that Discord has begun rolling out the ID verification that they postponed a few months ago, I think it’s a pretty important reminder. And as was said, the post title specifically says “(2025)”

Tech writing considered harmful

And finally, an unrelated paragraph, because the page seamlessly scrolls into a second, unrelated article.

I am genuinely so tempted to just write my resume in Markdown and make a PDF this time around.

I see incredibly violent and bigoted content all the time on Meta platforms and always report it. Rarely does anything get taken down. But feminism bad I suppose.

Yeah, it sort of depends on the definition of the word file. “File” in the sense that it can be interacted with like a file versus “file” in the sense that it’s data on a disk. But then, if you’re really thinking about it, data on a disk isn’t a file, it’s data, and we can just interact with it like a file.

It makes more sense when you realize that it’s not that everything is files it’s that everything can be treated as a file. There are other APIs to interact with things, but everything can be interacted with as if it was a file. It doesn’t seem as bonkers like this.
