If you’re a content creator with money to burn, contribute or fork peertube and add monetisation to it in an ethical manner. You’d do lots of YouTubers a favor as I bet many are clamoring to leave the AI controlled overlord.

Was a thing back in 2007,research paid for by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, then patent was shelved. I thought it would be an indefinitely shelving, but maybe they think they can make more money from it now? Back then it was conceived for aid in poor countries. Maybe climate change has made other countries hot enough for mosquitoes to be a problem in countries with money.

- Comment on Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month 2 months ago:
The more cash Creepy Goose injects into Mozilla, the higher the CEO’s salary will be and the less users there will be. I’d like to thank Mozilla for being a money-sink for about 15 years now. It’s like Creepy Goose has been carrying a tiny ball and chain just so that authorities can say “oh yeah, they have competition”.
Once LadyBird reaches v1, Mozilla will be in deep shit as it won’t be necessary to pay them as a token competitor anymore.
- Comment on Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month 2 months ago:
Firefox has to die because Mozilla is a shitty org. All they care about it money. The money from Creepy Goose is just too much. The devs should move on to Servo, Ladybird, or a Firefox fork. The users will follow.

- Comment on Gen Z Sabotaging AI at Work So It Won't Take Their Job 4 months ago:
Some of them live with a chatbot window open: nearly one in five executives admitted logging four or five hours a day with an AI model, while one in 25 use AI in excess of six hours a day.
Some of these CEOs have to be replaced. Half the day spent with an AI chatbot? That’s insane. How are they going to make relevant business decisions with that?
