Original question by @Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works
Firefox is messing around with AI, changed their TOS on user data and now the google monopoly case. Basically Im wondering if there is a good firefox alternative?

Hot take but being a high-ranking member of a fascist political party should absolutely make you a target of violence. The only concerns are tactical.
I think it’s safe to say that the political climate and temperature was a little different back then. I also don’t think you should be posting online that you want to kill Republicans. You’re going to get a knock at your door if aren’t careful.
Do you like AI? What model(s)? If so, or not, why?

Best place for a community alternative to Facebook group?
I admin a Facebook group with just about 30k people in it. It used to be great, and over the past few years the enshittification has been too much. Lately there is an out of control Facebook AI bot posting constantly pissing everyone off that we can't seem to turn off. I only use FB for the group, and don't have their spyware - I mean, app - installed and wont. Admin abilities are severely limited on the webapp.
I'm stepping down as admin cuz I'm tired of this mess. But I'd like to offer an alternative community to members who are ready to jump ship. Is a Lemmy community the best option? It's a photo heavy group so when Pixelfed launches groups that will be great, but I haven't seen an ETA on that. I've read that Piefed has better mod controls. It can/should be public and accessible across platforms.
Thoughts? And before anyone points it out, I know most folks won't bother switching. But I also miss when it was smaller and had more chill vibes so I can live with that.

@JustOneMoreCat If all accounts are on Lemmy, all images are also federated. But in the communication between Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse there are still some restrictions regarding pictures in replies.
A #Friendica forum would probably be more suitable.
Here is an insight into what this could look like: peertube.stream/w/p/4K4MWYXMEY…
(an older version of Friendica is shown here, but in principle it is currently similar)

‘We now have complete and total control’: Trump confirms U.S. is part of conflict with Iran
Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.
Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

I said detain, and kill only if necessary. ROE must be followed. Arrest these criminals that refuse to identify, and if they resist then meet their violence with the greater violence that a crowd can muster. They are breaking the law. Therefore they aren't law enforcement, and should be treated as such.
If I lose my life because I am sick of their shit, so be it. They are actively killing us every day, so my rhetoric isn't getting anyone killed. It may just wake some of the people up to the fact that the cops are rioting, and threatening to kill us nationwide.
And again you are hearing what you want to hear and changing the meaning of the words I used. That is called lying.

I am not changing your words. I am specifically asking you what you’re advocating for and saying. You are welcome to clarify, but clearly the thesis here is you think you’re some kind of cop killing badass and frankly you need to grow up
NAACP files intent to sue Elon Musk's xAI company over supercomputer air pollution
The NAACP filed an intent to sue Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI on Tuesday over concerns about air pollution generated by a supercomputer located near predominantly Black communities.
The xAI data center began operating gas turbines last year, emitting air pollution, without first applying for a permit under an exemption that allowed them to do so for 364 days.
The permit application now being considered by the Shelby County Health Department calls for the use of 15 turbines, though the Southern Environmental Law Center says there are as many as 35 turbines located at the sprawling facility.

EU resurrects banking practice that caused the 2008 financial crisis
Securitization allows banks to repackage and resell debt, famously explained by actress Margot Robbie in a bubble bath in the film “The Big Short.”
The European Union wants to breathe new life into a financial practice most commonly associated with causing the 2008 financial crisis as it tries to jump-start banks’ lending to the economy.
On Tuesday, the European Commission will publish a package of legislation aiming to revive the industry of “securitization,” after strict postcrisis laws almost stamped out the use of the practice in the bloc.
Securitization is the practice where banks repackage and resell debt, famously explained by actress Margot Robbie in a bubble bath in the film "The Big Short." The engineering allows banks to move some assets off their balance sheets, giving them more space to extend new loans.

Makes more sense to control the factors that play into the investment risk through regulation instead of shutting down a useful tool for investors.
Or you can just say edgy bullshit.

It wasn’t edgy bullshit? I agree with you. I’m just saying there are a lot of “ifs” we have to depend on here. And given less than 20 years ago nations across the world did not give a shit and we saw literally all of those ifs not happening, I feel like my dig at regulatory agencies is very much warranted
Is UX/UI and marketing really the reason XMPP lags behind Signal/Matrix/Telegram?
Matrix is going Freemium and WhatsApp is adding ads, which is sparking the annual "time to leave [app]" threads.
Users don't care that much about privacy, but they do care about enshittification, so XMPP not being built for it shouldn't be a problem.
Meanwhile, I've heard for years that XMPP has solved a lot of the problems that lead more popular apps to fail.
Is it really just a marketing/UX/UI problem?
If XMPP had a killer app with all the features that Signal/Whatsapp/Telegram has, would it have as many users?
If not, why does it keep getting out-adopted by new apps and protocols?
Why not XMPP?
To be honest, I don’t quite understand why Matrix passes this hurdle and XMPP does not. Matrix is just as little designed for privacy as XMPP.Privacy Guides Community

Americans cut back sharply on their spending last month amid tariffs
Americans are feeling a hangover from their tariff-fueled buying frenzy early in the spring.
Retail sales fell by 0.9% in May from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday, down sharply from April’s downwardly revised 0.1% decline. That was the steepest monthly decline since January and worse than the 0.7% decrease economists projected in a poll by data firm FactSet.
The figures are adjusted for seasonal swings but not inflation.

The sharp uptick of crap flown around 2.6 piques my interest. As does someone's introduction of 'retard' into the vocabulary shortly prior. Must have been popcorn times.
