"mozilla bad because LLMs".... okay..... but what's the alternative that isn't built on top of chromium or firefox then

if mozilla goes in the google antitrust case do you think someone else who won't use LLMs will continue to develop firefox?

like i just want to understand what's the long term goal here because every time i tried to go back to windows 98 and not deal with modern software the same kids crying about this told me i shouldn't be putting it online because it's unsafe

The Pier
You are standing at the beach next to the pier. Up in the sky the clouds are peacefully jagged and scattered. The sand beneath your feet is satisfyingly crunchy with big square grains. You smell the low-resolution fish and chips being fried from an open window above. You are unlikely to be eaten by a grue.

creating things online is a lonely job

if you like the things i built and you don't want to tell me or buy me a ko-fi about it then at the very least please stop using chrome

maybe i shouldn't have caved, i absolutely think Chrome and Google will destroy whatever's left of the web as we know it, but i have a trauma response to bothering people

someone loudly complained about the notice i put on my website (which includes pages such as and ) that Chrome is an unsupported browser. i don't want to not have the notice as i find it important for people to know i will not offer support if they have issues while using Chrome, but i caved and make it look less ominous.

happy new year! 🎉🥂

@jk @hazel i would love to build/see the tube camera version of this be built btw

@jk @hazel looks like the youtube video that was the source for this got taken down some time ago but i remember seeing around 2011 someone who built a game boy camcorder by slapping a TV tuner to a GBA and a portable PVR, so the idea is there

coming soon to : luminosity-based palette retargeting

(or, in adobe parlance, gradient map)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
