All it takes is some standardized markup like schema.org

Which is the problem AI is solving here - getting every supermarket chain to agree on this (when it's actually against their interests to do so, since it increases price transparency) would be an impossible task, but AI can get around this requirement with minimal extra effort.

I'm hardly an AI evangelist, but this is actually one of the rare situations where it's a good fit.

Yeah I hopped back over from Edge when the manifest v3 stuff came out, and the two main things I miss are proper profile management and vertical tabs - I've been using https://codeberg.org/ranmaru22/firefox-vertical-tabs to get around it currently, but having a native implementation to both issues will be a massive (and recently rare) Firefox W.

This is why I absolutely refuse to install Valorant (and now LoL) - I could somewhat understand if an anticheat refused to boot up the game in question if something triggered it, but it going massively outside of its scope and wantonly disabling or killing other processes is just nuts to me.

Yeah I'm not a constitutional expert but I'm 90% sure this won't work. Like professor Twomey said, we elect individuals, not parties (which is what this basically is) - and what happens if they have a falling out, or disagree on a policy position?

Did Labor learn nothing from the last time they were in government? This just seems like a rerun of the Rudd-era ETS legislation, no doubt along with blaming the Greens rather than the opposition when it fails to pass.

Holy shit, it's actually impressive to tank that hard - not cresting more than 1000 concurrent players in over a month, and hasn't been able to beat 5000 since November... I know people love throwing the 'dead game' meme around prematurely, but if this isn't dead yet, it's definitely got one foot in the grave.

Well Google has recently been forcing through its awful Web Environment Integrity proposal so...

Like legit, some of these comments are utterly deranged. YouTube has ZERO competition in the mass market consumer space, everyone else is a niche player, and it's debatable whether YouTube even turns a profit despite that.

I really wish they didn't have to kill third party integration with smart speakers for this. Google bait and switch at its finest.

I'd also argue Firefox is hardly mainstream at ~3% usage. Edge would be a better replacement given it comes with every Windows install (and many corporate environments don't allow using an alternative).

Honestly, it's so strange this never comes up - yes there are ads but a man's gotta eat. The ads aren't particularly intrusive so the free version is a fine sacrifice for those of us who are happy enough with the base functionality of sync and can deal with the minor annoyance of an occasional ad.

I'd prefer to purchase the ad-free version, but the pricing is a bit excessive for me right now - I can wait it out until there's a sale or other discount in the meantime.

If that's a dealbreaker, all the other Lemmy clients are available to use instead - I've used them all and they're all excellent.

Posting this for parity as I saw the no fact-check article was also posted.
