you owe it to yourself to give a shit about something. anything. take some amount of pride in your work. make an effort not to be the lowest common denominator. find things to be curious about that give you an excuse to learn something new.

if you work for a large corporation, I can assure you there is a non-trivial amount of people working in your IT department right now who understand technology less than you do, whatever position you happen to have, even if it's not tech or computer adjacent. and those people don't care, either.

there's a lot of corporate employment tropes that people rightfully loathe but I feel the one I hear the least about that is pretty high on the scale of what makes that environment so fucking dreadful is being surrounded by people who are deeply incurious and incapable of helping themselves

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

pretty good run there. so far my longest period of (mostly) consistent focus on a single project before life and work got in the way again. maybe this is the chance to get my web server moved instead

Like c'mon, you're not getting me to play the NES just for something like 3-D WorldRunner

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 22/09/2026
I think the biggest part preventing me from enjoying most of the NES library is having grown up with so many Flash games that may as well have been NES games, anything that doesn't exceed the length or complexity of something you would find on Albino Blacksheep in the 00's leaves me uninterested

"there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" seems to create two parties: the "...therefore, i should do my best to avoid the most unethical things" type, and the "...so it doesn't matter and i'm free to do whatever" type

We're talking about users of a custom Firefox fork. I think we can pretty safely determine that the audience for this project isn't going to be your average tech-illiterate person off the street.

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 18/09/2026
The context is that I read the blog post he wrote. I understand it is a thankless job. But the publicly sour attitude and condescension towards a user group he apparently thinks so little of is going to do even more harm than just saying he's using "AI" in the project.

He spends most of it being a condescending jerk. Did you miss that part?

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 18/09/2026
Honestly his response to this is *worse* than if he had just come out and said he was using it. I would have been disappointed, sighed, and silently moved on to a different browser. But now? Fuck this guy.

"oh, you're mad about AI? ho ho, you must be a stupid idiot! let me *explain* this to your *feeble* brain!" fuck off dude

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 18/09/2026
It's such a condescending and dickheaded response. Does he not understand his audience for a custom Firefox fork is not going to be your average tech-illiterate citizen?

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 18/09/2026
Frankly, the condescension you're displaying as you lash out is a bigger turn-off than whatever it is you're using or not using AI for. Get off your high horse, dude. I say that *as a security researcher*, btw.

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 18/09/2026
Is this article meant to be a venting post? Were you having a bad day when you wrote it? Because you spend most of the time talking down to those in your audience whom you perceive to have "sworn off modern technology" instead of explaining your position and use and what it means for the browser.

I'm getting quite exhausted of this assumption that people who are against "AI" (which apparently I must clarify before you make assumptions about me and my knowledge, but I'm using the colloquial term here) simply don't understand what they're talking about.

Hex.EXE @ghostgate.net · 18/09/2026
Over the last 20 years I've swapped on and off from using Firefox and it's precisely because of the avoidable nonsense that they just can't seem to help themselves away from. Looks like it's that time again!

Beer isn't addictive. It makes you more sociable and is a great way to spend time with friends. That's why I have eight of them a day: because I love talking to my friends so much
