The main reason why HA accounted for so many requests is probably because it was a polling integration, requesting data every 30 seconds from the server, while the official app either had push events when something changes, or it updated state when the app gets opened.

They don't. You can switch to LAN-only mode, or disable the network connection altogether and put gcode on a microSD card and print from that.

Besides being sick of subscriptions for every small thing, I'm not sure I understand the premise here:

"Pay to download or for other services: Not worth it; users can find the software somewhere else and they don't need your other services."

So users won't pay a one-time fee, but instead they will pay a subscription to get that one software they need? They won't "find the software somewhere else" if it's behind a subscription, but will do so if it's behind a single payment?

> From 2020 to 2023 we grew our team substantially and added layers of management. We now need to simplify Netlify to be more nimble

While management layers certainly do add overhead to varying degrees, simply getting rid of it and trying to be move faster and be more nimble, in my experience, leads to one of two things:

1. The existing management layer work gets offloaded to multiple people who have no interest in those topics, usually without any extra pay for them as well.

2. The management layers get removed without any replacement, which usually leads to long-term overhead across all departments that's often hard to quantify.

Combined with the wish to expand and evolve, especially within the enterprise sector, neither of the above options is a good choice. The only thing such change is good for is cutting expenses in the short term to inflate company value on paper.

I have around 180 orders from Amazon in 2022 in Germany, I've ordered multiple DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras, lenses, all my Gardena stuff, and a ton of more things - never had one single item arrive that showed any signs of use, neither on the package nor on the item itself, and I've never heard anyone else say that they got used items.

It's very weird that you've had so many used items delivered, but it's definitely not a common thing in Germany.

So cringy. Should we also add badges for doing it without autocomplete, syntax highlighting. Hell, why even bother with text, if you didn't develop it by punching cards then you're not a real developer.

Not sure what you consider "real problems".

I already use it instead of google to look up stuff, as well as to learn additional things.

Is it some sort of magical AI that will always produce 100% accurate answers no matter what the question is? Absolutely not.

Is it better than giving me a list of links where some of them contain inaccurate privacy invading outdated garbage written than humans? To me personally, yes - it's much better.

I do have to say that I'm not attempting to solve cryptic crosswords or similar, but rather I use it for things that interest me or that I don't understand. Or even to go through some code I've written, to find bugs, improve it, and so on. And at least for my use case it has been more reliable than a lot of people I know.

> All it shows me is large breasted women and “crystal polishers” (which I never knew was a thing)

It shows me an endless stream of cute kittens. It's amazing.

I'm also confused by the security risks listed, I just checked the iOS privacy report that shows which sensors and data apps used, and TikTok is not even on the list. I'm also struggling to understand things listed in the article such as it accessing texts on the device(?) - like... it can't do that, at least not on an iPhone. As far as "voiceprints" and "faceprints" do they mean it video/audio content can be uploaded to it? Like thousand other apps?

If anything there should be an argument that by default the apps should be better sandboxed and permissions to be an explicit opt-in, this current approach just seems like fearmongering.

By the way, Amazon's CodeWhisperer does that.

> in very rare cases, an independently generated code recommendation may resemble a unique code snippet in the training data. By notifying you when this happens, and providing you the repository and licensing information, CodeWhisperer makes it easier for you to decide whether to use the code in your project and make the relevant source code attributions as you see fit.

>But how will you feel if Copi­lot erases your open-source com­mu­nity?

Jesus Christ, dramatic much? Are people that stumble upon a piece of code while googling how to do something, and end up copying and pasting the code from the repo, really building the open source community? Because that's essentially what it is. Whether I use copilot to generate a tedious function, or I copy it from your open source repo I'm on the same level of being a member of your open source community.

This whole thing feels like artists screaming how AI generated art is horrible, trying to figure out how to sabotage it, or how to start lawsuits - just because their value went down just a bit. Same thing with developers.

I gave it a go:

* CPU Usage is extremely higher than in chrome for video call/meeting related websites.

* Font rendering is horrible on a lot of websites. I think this is more fault of the website developers, but it doesn't change the fact that I as end user with Firefox have subpar experience.

* The native OS integration seems very janky, from swipe to go back, to pinch to zoom, something feels off about them.

* I've encountered a lot more websites that didn't quite work smoothly. This is same as one of the points above of web developers being at fault here, but it still doesn't change my experience with FF.

I want to use Firefox, but not if it degrades my experience - which it currently very noticeably does.
