    As discussed on the attached patch, it doesn't sound like unified push is a direction we want to go in at the moment.
    So i'm going to close the bug, but do appreciate the interesting exploration and discussion it has generated.
    Thank you to everyone who contributed thoughts, time and code to this issue!

    hello - thank you for looking into this and submitting this patch stack!
    I have asked around a few people internally but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the idea of moving to Unified Push.
    So I think it would be best to abandon the stack rather than spend more time working on this implementation.
    Sorry to have to say that and sorry it's taken so long to get back to you with this message!
    We appreciate your time and effort here and hope that you will still consider contributing to firefox in the future.

  • Nice data, but I think we should take a broader view too:

    https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?end=2023&locations=RU-IN&start=2019

    I semi randomly picked India because it is part of BRICS and had a similar economic trajectory: It is quite interesting playing with all those nobs and labels.

    In this context I think PPP - which you showed - is a good indicator of the internal quality of living, but as far as I understand it, it has an hard time showing the difference in quality and standards of the consumer products between countries, so a dip in nominal GDP is an interesting context with the PPP adjusted rise. Less expensive things, because they are less regulated?

    Aside from that Russia has almost completely pivoted to a war economy which, as far as I know, tends to give a big initial boost but it stresses and makes the real (for lack of a better term) economy crash in the long run.

    What do you think about this? It is an interesting topic.




  • This is getting weird.

    If I would generate an image with an AI and then take a photo of it, I could copyright the photo, even if the underlying art is not copyrightable, just like the leaves?

    So, in an hypothetical way, I could hold a copyright on the photo of the image, but not on the image itself.

    So if someone would find the model, seed, inference engine and prompt they could theoretically redo the image and use it, but until then they would be unable to use my photo for it?

    So I would have a copyright to it through obscurity, trying to make it unfeasible to replicate?

    This does sound bananas, which - to be fair - is pretty in line with my general impression of copyright laws.











  • I actually feel this is gonna make it harder for people to find out about the change, having something suddenly disappear from your feed is less visible than having reminders when you click on a new post.

    At the same time, cosidering the .org one is new, not a lot of servers/instances will have the community federated, so it will not appear even in the All feed for people, especially in the small ones.

    For those reasons I would advice for a transition period, if possible, but I can see how it could be annoying to manage.





  • I assume the thing is a representation of some software, so bloated it can barely be considered functional

    When you want to get more understanding about the comic you can try and check the site, there are descriptions for each image, in this case:

    Description

    Mage examines a large bloated creature that can barely move. Fossangel appears behind her.

    Fossangel: “You know why they let it get this far?”

    Mage: “Why?”

    Fossangel: “No, I’m asking.”
