You have to filter out all the religions where you can't worship other gods or be in other religions.
Might as well skip the one that don't punish you for not believing as well.

Google has an incentive to make everything work through the web. Safari has the incentive to gatekeep the app store revenue, which is why PWAs are a joke on iOS.
Google also has bad incentives (Android, ads) but Safari is the IE6 of modern web.
Chrome is the IE6 of the modern Web. Devs are building hacky sites that only work in Chrome.
It's the browser we're FORCED to have installed for the occasional shitty flight or hotel booking that doesn't work in Firefox.

This Apple policy is the only thing stopping chrome from having a full monopoly, and we should be careful trying to remove it
100%! Without the Safari walled garden, start ups won't bother considering cross platform testing.

Right, but approximately zero people have ever said "this website doesn't work on Firefox, so I won't use this website". They say "this website doesn't work on Firefox, so I won't use Firefox".
Zero percent maybe. I personally changed banks when they broke Firefox support and said to use chrome.
I welcome the Safari walled garden because if Apple have to allow chrome on ios, that's the end of any cross browser testing (and the end of Firefox)
This isn't as meaningful as it sounds. Nintendo was apparently using scene roms for one of the official emulators on Wii (I think?). Spotify might have received legally-obtained mp3s from the record companies that were originally pulled from Napster or whatever, because the people who work for record companies are lazy hypocrites.
The Nes classic console. The roms had an iNes emulator header lol.
And the playstation classic used an opensource ps1 emulator.
There was also some steam game ported from GameCube, and it had the Dolphin Emulator FPS counter in the corner of part of the trailer :D
I also remember reading that 2 of the PCSX2 devs ended up working on the EmotionEngine chip emulator for PS3 consoles with partial software emulation of PS2 (The CECH 02 and later models where they removed the EmotionEngine chip)

Thank you. I assume this isn't available on iPhone?
Nowhere near as good as Firefox on Android. That said you can get a clunky version with Brave. It's got a block and You can use use picture in picture to throw the video in the background. It sometimes pauses if you lock the screen but if you play around, there's a kind of race condition where you hit play again at the right time and it'll work.
There's also uYouPlus if you have a way to load apps without going through the store.

These are the first four words of each sentence from a thing ChatGPT wrote. I will let this speak for itself, mostly. Can you see the forest past the trees and spot the major "turning points"?

>>But here's the thing.
>This is one of the usual key turning points in these essays. An earlier one happened when it was like [introduces idea] [straw-mans objection] [denies strawman]. I didn't bring it up because it's not always a strong one and this one didn't seem entirely too heavy-handed. There is, however, much more often a very obvious "But here's the thing" (or similar) to be found. As soon as I saw that, I already knew I was going to find a paragraph beginning with "So" somewhere near the end.
# Why it matters
I'm sick of seeing this everywhere. 2 hosting companies use this in every single weekly spam email they send.
Very BRAVE of you to think that :)
This would make for a great episode in a Silicon Valley soap Opera
But for comparison, it is generating tokens about 1.5 times as fast as gemma 3 27B qat or mistral-small 2506 q4. Prompt processing/context however seems to be happening at about 1/4 of those models.
A bit more concrete of the "excellent", I can't really notice any difference between the speed of oss-120b once the context is processed and claude opus-4 via api.
After every chat, open webui is sending everything to llamacpp again wrapped in a prompt to generate the summary, and this wipes out the KV cache, forcing you to reprocess the entire context.
This will get rid of the long prompt processing times id you're having long back and forth chats with it.
