... I might pay for the feature that eliminates or hides all AI features, including on the websites I visit.

If I'm paying for a browser then it's going to be more customizable, and easier to customize, than Firefox. Charging for a locked-down browser that has AI - and therefore additional spying - baked in? No thanks!

These days, it seems that everybody and his dog is jumping on perpetual-revenue SaaS offerings. I consider those offerings to be burnt. This move by Opera is clearly just an 'excusortunity' to turn browsers into rentware. Fuck them.

Don't be mad because you didn't see it.

Also, don't call them "editors"

And their hair is amazing.

I call it "Twit-X"; both as an homage to its old name, and in reference to the twit named Musk who gave it a new name while turning it into a steaming pile of dogshit.

I'm not saying that they can't do it, it's that they can't legally do it.

I recall reading that investment bankers pick stocks only marginally better than throwing darts at a dart board. Wells Fargo might have dead weight to cut, but I would hesitate to extrapolate that out to jobs where competency matters. That is where it the LLMs fail.

Ugh. Acrobat actually craps itself on forms now. The check boxes keep disappearing during scrolling, and I have the latest reader.

"The amount of raw materials used is significantly higher meaning the ecological impact is greater."

It isn't and that's also not how it works

No they did not. This story is about how they didn't. Learn to read, coward.

This isn't about a trademark. It's about a patented specification.

This is true. And the Republicans are the party of Nazis.

It's also a way to get around the prohibition on setting different prices for SNAP recipients. For example you can buy over the net from Costco with SNAP on Instacart but not directly. And the prices are higher there than on their site.

I despise McDonald's, I despise advertisers, and I'm very wary and mistrustful of so-called AI. That said, when I watched the commercial I laughed. I thought there were some clever bits, and I'd watch it again.

I wonder if the negative response is akin to that of an otherwise-healthy immune system that has been faced with too many dire challenges in a short period of time and is over-reacting a bit. In this case that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

No. This is nonsense. Nuclear fuel production has a massive ecological impact. Nuclear only looks good when compared to coal. Stop doing that.

The office I work in has a bunch of people with more money than sense. The guy sitting next to me hung up a GoFundMe QR code for veterinary bills at his cubicle and got 2 grand dropped in it before I quit counting.

I was able to confirm he really does have a dog, but I think the extent of the injuries and ongoing nature of the surgeries was getting puffed up.
