So Mozilla kinda backed off and elaborated on removing the "we do not sell your data" and "you allow us a royalty-free license to anything you input to the browser" statements.. but i'm not sure i want to keep using it despite them explaining how It's Not What I Thought. Anyone has any better-informed opinion? Is it librewolf migration time?

So proud of all the work i did on ALICE. It has demo projects now also! So now it's not an empty editor that everyone's free to stare into, but also a place to load up and play with projects i made. I want to try and roll it out here tomorrow, since there are a couple more bugs i have to rectify.

I'd appreciate anyone regardless of technical background depth to go over and poke around cause i'm pretty sure you will encounter some bugs. In which case i will be grateful if you told me. After all, i'm planning to have my students use ALICE for logic circuit studies :D

New ALICE logic sim version soon, i'm nearing the end of a big overhaul. It's still explosive, but much less so after all the work i did. Not sure anyone but me needs it anyways, but it exists and i will make it work as nicely as possible.

I moved it from github to gitea btw, so if anyone wants to see the progress, you are welcome to visit [https://gitea.com/AuberyLis/alice]. i'm going to be migrating as much stuff as i can from github to gitea soon, screw github's copilot ai garbage and invasive llm marketing.

Added a bunch of tracks to the player and made it work in calm mode (finally!), added some newer photos where i'm about 20% cooler, rewrote the bio to be 1500 characters shorter AND more readable, changed the pronouns order since i got chiller with people she'ing me

for some reason my github repo autopush crapped itself and i had to manually upload all this new stuff, though. anyone else using git autodeploy experienced a similar thing? if not, i may as well have to write a local script to fucking Do it Without relying on Github
Awesome website <3
seriously considering nekoweb at this point. the lack of reaction from KD is suspicious and unnerving

one thing i dislike about nekoweb is the lack of commenting etc - it's one big RSS dump instead. I see the appeal, but also i kinda like the idea of being able to leave little comments on people's pages and maybe replying to friends' updates.

@foureleven has nekoweb implemented AI into it's editor twice and still has remains of it?

from what I can tell the problem with AI on neocities is far worse then using AI in vscode.

@foureleven it's not a question of whether people use LLMs to make an engine run, which sux in my eyes too, but many do right now, and if the technology was near-harmless power wise, i wouldn't care *too* much. It's a question of pushing using AI on *us*, not clarifying their stance on scraping *our* art and thoughts and such to train one - something i would be massively against.

remade the intro text a little bit because the site totally does not have a blog yet. also put a little reminder of the site's AI stance at the page footer, now that the petition MOTD is gone.

New ALICE version. It's still explosive, but this one should be a bit better, + it has a thing somewhat resembling a user manual now

Major overhaul of some background structures - hopefully the site loads a bit faster and more reliably now. Don't forget to force-refresh (shift+refresh button click) to get all the new stuff, otherwise the website may Explode

The visible result is some styling became a bit better and the sitemap is a bit closer to the actual win98 explorer in full mode, and is stripped down to bare html in calm mode.

Although i have tags everywhere set up to drop the cache each 3600 minutes, you probably wanna force-refresh anyways, esp if you visited my site within the last couple days

i don't know how they would do this practically and expect anyone to stay with them, especially since their browser is almost completely OSS and anyone with a spare moment can fork Firefox into something else.
wowwwwww that's concerning. especially considering everything mozilla has stood for it's really weird to roll back the "no data selling" thing
I hope this doesn't lead to extensions being removed eventually...
I've stopped using Mozilla for years, since they've heavily distanced themselves from focusing on privacy. I'd recommend getting the fork called "LibreWolf", 100% worth it.
