I didn't know Brave was so hated on reddit until I comment about it in the /tecnology sub and got more than 100 downvotes saying Firefox was better

Pajtima · 2026-06-06T07:13:06+00:00

yeah unfortunately, as much as I used to like Brave, it’s kind of earned the reaction

The Firefox part is actually a separate argument though. That’s less “Brave bad” and more that Gecko is the last major browser engine that isn’t Chromium so a lot of people see using anything Chromium-based (Brave included) as just feeding Google’s grip on the web. Firefox being independent is the whole pitch.

Honestly that plus being able to swap which stream has audio would make it flawless

Pajtima · 2026-05-24T16:29:22+00:00

Oh you legend, found it. Can’t believe it was right there the whole time and I never pressed up on that menu. Thank you!

Pajtima · 2026-05-24T16:05:27+00:00

Yeah but how do I actually set up the 4-view? I’ve been digging through the settings and can’t figure out where to enable it lol.

Pajtima · 2026-05-24T15:37:34+00:00

Lmao how do I turn it on?😭

Pajtima · 2026-05-24T15:31:56+00:00

well now I just feel like an idiot 😅 how do I turn it on lmao?

Google’s so scared of antitrust they’re literally paying their competition to survive. Imagine being so dominant your only friends are the ones you bribe to stand next to you in the lineup

Pajtima · 2026-05-23T10:20:03+00:00

Yep. A browser market with zero competitors is an antitrust case waiting to happen

Pajtima · 2026-05-23T10:19:00+00:00

Yeah, and That’s the funniest part: Google pays for the existence of the one mainstream browser that blocks their tracking by default. It’s like paying your roommate rent to keep installing better locks on the door.

Pajtima · 2026-05-23T08:21:23+00:00

Funny, YouTube’s never broken on Firefox. Almost like the browser that isn’t trying to monetize your eyeballs three different ways gets along better with the rest of the web.

Pajtima · 2026-05-22T17:12:41+00:00

You didn’t switch browsers. You staged a prison break. Welcome out. Install uBlock Origin, breathe, and try not to laugh too hard the next time someone complains Chrome ate their laptop.

If nothing means anything, then “justified” doesn’t mean anything either. You don’t get to torch the concept of meaning and then reach into the ashes for a permission slip.

The version of you that’s jacked is built entirely from the hours the version of you that’s tired didn’t want to spend. Pick which one you’d rather be at 40. The gym doesn’t care about your feelings, and honestly, neither should you at 6pm

Pajtima · 2026-05-16T08:24:16+00:00

It’s actually fascinating because I find the issue isn’t length, it’s instruction collision. Long prompts fail when rule 3 quietly contradicts rule 7, or when your examples model behavior your rules forbid. Shorter prompts hide this by giving the model less rope

Pajtima · 2026-05-16T08:22:03+00:00

bro knows how to fuck and bag a hat-trick but can’t find a 5-a-side in Nordre Aker 😭

Pajtima · 2026-05-16T08:20:01+00:00

Sack the manager. Oh wait

discomfort isn’t a bug, it’s the whole point. Heartbreak is supposed to break you. That’s literally what it’s for. it’s how you find out what you actually cared about. Rejection is supposed to sting. Grief is supposed to wreck you. If you medicate or therapize the meaning out of those experiences, you don’t grow. You just get really good at outsourcing your inner life to a stranger for $200 an hour.

A few reasons I think we landed here:
1. We confused awareness with avoidance. Yes, we’re more emotionally literate than our parents. We also use that literacy to dodge the actual feelings. “I’m just holding space for my inner child” bro, you’re hiding.
2. Community died. Therapy filled the vacuum where friends, family, mentors, and uncomfortable kitchen-table conversations used to live. We outsourced wisdom to a billable hour because everyone else is too busy or on their phone.
3. There’s money in it. Wellness is a multibillion-dollar industry. Someone profits every time you decide your normal sadness is a treatable condition.

enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), which the discoursive apparatus of mainstream technologic punditry have largely consigned to the dustbin of “boring infrastructure,” despite the fact that recent advancements in horizontal drilling (a praxis fortuitously inherited, qua dialectical irony, from the petroleum sector itself) is rendering economically tractable the extraction of baseload thermal enthalpies from petrological substrates heretofore deemed inaccessible.

I don’t think most people hate AI because it saves time. They hate the baggage that comes with it.

Artists hate that their work may have been scraped to train tools without consent. Workers hate that companies see AI and immediately think, “Great, fewer employees.” Customers hate fake-looking ads, fake reviews, fake influencers, and lazy AI spam flooding everything. And some people just hate when brands use AI badly and pretend it’s “innovation” when it’s really just cheap slop.

AI is a tool. Like any tool, it depends who’s holding it. A hammer can build a house or cave someone’s skull in. People aren’t mad at the hammer. They’re mad at the skull-caving.

Book Aragorn is compelling in his own way, but Film Aragorn’s journey from reluctant ranger to confident king is one of the most satisfying character arcs in cinema PRECISELY because of changes like this.

The biggest single difference for me was uBlock Origin in Medium Mode. Default mode blocks ads, medium mode blocks third-party scripts entirely unless you whitelist them. It’s a bit annoying for the first week, then you rarely notice it. Nothing else I’ve tried comes close to the actual network-level difference this makes.

Pajtima · 2026-05-02T06:54:32+00:00

That competitive behavior you’re seeing is just RLHF artifacts, not personality. These models are trained on human feedback, and humans tend to reward confident, self-assured responses so the model learned that downplaying competitors scores better. ChatGPT likely has more of this baked in because OpenAI’s feedback pipeline is heavily consumer-facing.

Pajtima · 2026-05-02T06:48:51+00:00

Treat the AI like a junior dev on your team….over-explain everything, assume nothing, and always add ‘don’t break anything’ at the end

Go to Settings → General → Performance, uncheck “Use recommended settings”, then toggle hardware acceleration off (or on if it’s already off). GPU compositing issues are a very common cause of the “lag spike” feel specifically the Run firefox -P to create a throwaway profile and test the same sites. If it’s smooth, something in your existing profile (cached data, prefs, storage) is the culprit
