I was paraphrasing and trying to be nice. Fine, you didn't say humans yearn for the workplace. You said humans existentially require the workplace.

I think if AI replaces humans in the workplace, even with UBI, humans would cease to exist shortly thereafter as our lives will have become meaningless

I've noticed a worrying trend among Firefox fans: too many of them supported this mandatory telemetry for on-device features.

They had never held this position before. Mozilla made a change, and too many fans simply adopted it uncritically.

Personally, I believe everyone should have internal ethical guidelines that aren't mandated by their favorite corporation. Mozilla's recent behavior has been particularly egregious because they push an ethical manifesto on their website and they promise every application they produce upholds them. Hopefully it should be clear to people that Mozilla's stated goals are good because they are good and not simply because they came from Mozilla. If Mozilla updates their principles to suck, then they'll suck. Ethics should not be treated like a religion.

But this blog post is good news. It demonstrates that criticism actually has merit, and that Mozilla can be coerced into rolling back bad changes.

I hope the Firefox fans who adopted Mozilla's silent stance just a couple days ago will rethink their positions and decide not to be so harsh when they see criticism of Mozilla.

According to technical experts, internet service providers across the country have begun implementing a rule that limits data transfers from sites using Cloudflare to just the first 16 kilobytes. This technique is relatively subtle but effective: very lightweight, basic websites can still load, creating a façade of normal internet function, while modern, media-rich sites are effectively broken.

16 KB per website? What part of the normal internet is that small? What part of the indie web is that small?

e.g. look at the smallest sites on https://512kb.club/

Or is this just 16kb per request, which would make more sense with the following explanation:

Analysts report that similar throttling is also being applied to other major western hosting providers popular with Russian users, including Germany’s Hetzner and the US-headquartered DigitalOcean... [they] are widely used by Russians to host private VPN servers, which allow them to bypass the Kremlin’s ever-widening blocklists.

AFAIK, VPNs maintain a long-standing connection that would definitely use more than 16kb at a time.

I see no reason to engage with, or trust anything created by, a bullshit generator. If Digg claims to "care" about the humans, then making the top comment into a brick wall (which has zero accountability) is a funny way of showing it.

But then again, I'm sure their privacy policy also says they care about your privacy.

this would-be Reddit competitor, built for the AI era

Oh no...

The founders think that the internet is being flooded with bots and AI agents, which will create demand for online communities like Digg that foster real human connections.

Okay, Digg has my cautious attention...

Beneath posts, Digg is leveraging AI to summarize the article’s content.

And they lost me.
