Yes, Mozilla does some AI, like the in-browser, privacy-respecting language translation. If you use the same feature in Chrome, the text is submitted to a Google server, but in Firefox it never leaves your browser. I don't see how this could be spun to count against Firefox/Mozilla.

That was pretty unreal to watch. So little drama, it was like it was a render.

I had a "T-Mobile MDA Vario II" (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

It looked like this, just less German:

You're missing Windows 2000, but I guess you can argue that's Windows NT not mainline Windows. That was definitely in the good camp, and I was not alone in sticking with it for many years (until XP got good).

Edit: I see @NickwithaC@lemmy.world beat me to this point.

Mbin seems like a healthy project, and the only sensible move from kbin.

It starts out as ridiculous as you'd expect from the Onion, but it's a serious legal filing as a amicus curiae ("friend of the court" - a person or group who's not a party to the case but is interested and wants to give advice).

We're soon going to have to update the old emacs jokes to reference Neovim.

Not even htop? That is old school.

They'd be a lot more of them if iPhone supported the technology better.

I say that as someone who's pitched PWAs to companies, but since many of the managers and owners seem to be in on the Apple ecosystem, demos often aren't that impressive. Having to answer "kinda" to can they do x questions doesn't go down well.

We had a "kids tape" that had countless things recorded over each other. The second half was just a collage of the tail end of various cartoons and shows. When it got to the Abba-soundtracked documentary about a carnival it meant you were at the end of the tape.
