Have you updated your Vivaldi browser on desktop to the latest version?

Now on Vivaldi 6.8 you can easily keep your tabs in check.

You will now see a Memory Saver tooltip when you hover over tabs, giving you a real-time overview of the memory being used by that tab.

💤 Go ahead and let those inactive tabs hibernate and browse with a breeze.

What have you liked about the recent update? We want to know !👇

As #Mozilla is busy adding AI crap to #Firefox, I would like to point out that it's about 13 years since they removed the #RSS button from default Firefox GUI, and six years since RSS support was completely dropped from Firefox.

Thus making feeds invisible and impossible to discover for most web users.

RSS/Atom/JSON feeds are an immensely useful and important tech that can help solve the content discovery problem *without* going through gatekeepers. 👀

But obviously not a priority for Mozilla.

Meep meep!

@fesshole He probably wanted another baggie for the one in his pants

"I’m no longer interested in encouraging the design of more human-centered versions of these murderous technologies, or to inform the more humane administration of complex algorithmic systems [...] I think we must forcefully put on the table the possibility that we will destroy systems that fail to make a compelling affirmative case for their existence. That threat must be credible. We should actively undermine and sabotage systems, and recognize that labor as a moral project that we engage in, the way luddites sabotaged machinery that tore people apart."

I think it's very encouraging to also see academics to start joining camp hashtag#luddite. For a long time even critical academic voices were too focused on salvaging the hashtag#AI space. To "get rid of the bad actors" or "introduce ethics" instead of allowing themselves to just say: "NO." And we need to start saying "NO" a _lot_ more.
