From the songs lyrics:

Or pay a fee to talk in chat

… was that ever proposed? It obviously fell through because it was not implemented and I can still write chat messages?

50% of the player count are bots that do not cheat … maybe.

I have been thinking about this: With the recent advancements in AI could you build a bot that pretends to be a human playing the game (with some intentional flaws in its gameplay – so no aimbot for example)?

I would imagine player behavior – like movement around obstacles – in tf2 would be a valuable data mine to train AI further.

Lets hope they stay true to their words and do not deprecate Manifest V2 later, since firefox is an open source project, theoretically anyone could fork it and build this on their own, but I heard compile-times for firefox is long. And as complexity of the web increases maintaining your own forked web browser will become harder and harder. That is why projects like Ladybird are important imo.

As more and more webpages do not support firefox anymore (Notion did not work for me today) the web will become unusable in a dystopian Manifest-V3 only future.

As Firefox will introduce Manifest V3 which will make ad-blockers unusable, I hope they will not implement that as well … But I forsee this will not have any add-ons at all

Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.

What will they do next?

• More advertisement.
• More features that require an always on internet connection?

wild west days of the internet

What age would that be? The time around 2014? 2010? 1990?

youtube will also become harvested for AI data. And filled with AI functionality in the future. ergo: Look out for alternatives.

Humans may test garbage knowledge in real life and experience failure. So in that sense no?

When playing on community servers I never witnessed aim bots until now.

• Uncletopia servers are okay…
• there are funny inofficial game modes like:
  • x1000 multiplies all weapon stats by 1000
  • classwars one team is one class. for example medics vs scouts
  • randomizer, get a random weapon (for example Medigun as heavy)
  • jump training maps: solve pakours
  • grappling hooks on ctf (community maps like ctf orange)
  • 100 players in one server

So: Community servers should be used more often by normal players, they offer diverse different maps and gamemodes and are a decentralized solution to the bot problem.
