Trump currently still has a 40% approval rating, so I think it would be a mistake to assume that things will go back to normal when he’s out of the picture. There is something fundamentally wrong with a large portion of the US, and the other half is mostly either apathetic or complacent to it all. The “No Kings” protests, for example, are too little, too late.

If the US even cares to fix its fundamentals, it would probably take decades of sustained work. I don’t think they have the conviction to do that.

And so, I think joining the EU at some tier is a fine idea. We are stuck in our geography, but we don’t have to be stuck in our mindset.

Maybe it will depend on the specifics of their UI/UX implementation, but I don’t think you’ll end up in a scenario where you’re surprised that a website suddenly has access to your serial ports. I expect the UI will be fail-safe, very visible, and that you’ll be able to disable it entirely if you wish, so that you never even see a prompt.

This is a bit of speculation on my part, but I think the recent leadership changes, especially Eric Rescorla (ekr) leaving as Mozilla CTO probably lead to this. I think ekr was responsible for many of the security vetoes that held APIs like this back. Maybe they had good reason for it at the time, but Chrome has now demonstrated that Web Serial has been safe for years.

So although I appreciate Firefox has always been security conscious, I think they sometimes landed a little too strict on some decisions. I’d be happy if this attitude change allows some more innovation in Firefox that is not just “AI all the things”.

Fair point. I can see how a bubble burst might not recover those discarded wafers, assuming that story is true. However, I’d still imagine that if the bubble did burst, there would naturally be a reduction in demand for memory, and that would cool prices at least a bit. Certainly time will tell. It’s still difficult to predict the direction this is all going in.

Yup, I watched the video. Which chapter are you referring to?

I don’t particularly care to get into an argument about this, but don’t you agree that voice transcripts and organization of those transcripts is not equivalent to writing an entire blog post with AI?

Thanks. For what it’s worth, I’m in the AI skeptic camp, but I can see how AI voice transcripts, and AI drafting/organization is different from “written by AI”.

discloses in their blog that it’s written by AI

Can you link to this? I tried looking, but I couldn’t find it.

Well, one counter point. I just searched their videos and found this video from 2026 (that I had already watched, because I do support Palestine). So I wonder if Nebula changed their stance. https://nebula.tv/videos/additionalilyalexandre-life-in-gaza-in-2026-a-chat-with-ahmed-mater Same video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhgpXjGYRNk

Hmm. I’ll have to look into this. Thanks for pointing it out. If you happen to have links to more info, please share.

Let her skydive

I think most of their value was as a streaming backend for other companies, not their user-facing video sharing platform.

You can just email them to yourself to get the code for sharing.

Thanks!

Nice! You can definitely just browse through each category to get a sense of which creators are on there, it’s not a huge list. In the “Explore” screen, click on “Channels” first, then browse through the categories to see creators in each category. The “Latest activity” sort is also good to find active creators. For example: https://nebula.tv/explore/channels?category=gaming&sort=lastUpdated&order=desc

For videos, it might be worth filtering by “Original” and “Plus” if you’re looking for higher quality content. Many of the channels have lot of older archived content, which is worth going through if you’ve found a creator you like. Though I mostly just check the “Everything” category for new videos to discover creators.

And of course their homepage is updated regularly with featured creators and categories.

Sweet! Thank you.

Heck yeah. Thanks!

So this whole story exists because the bigots came out of the woodwork to squee at the acronym? Good then, let them show themselves and burn in the sunlight. The acronym did its job.

I mean, no one is forcing you to memorize it.

I’m very surprised they’re even doing this.

So you don’t want to hold OpenAI and Sam Altman accountable. Got it, thanks.
