"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Opera did ditch their own browser engine long time back and are now just a skin on Chromium [like many other browsers]. Opera, for some reason, has multiple browsers running. Neon isn't their main offering as of now. They technically have Opera GX [gaming focused version] and Opera Air [released some months earlier though I haven't used the latter] as well.
But they literally got bought up, and (IIRC) the main Opera devs moved to Vivaldi.
Opera, as it exists now, is literally just a just capitalizing on the old browser's name recognition.
Which is kind of funny. It barely had any name recognition at all, and for the die hards still on board, they all tracked the nuance of the situation and either gave up or went to Vivaldi.
IDK. It has enough recognition that I’ve seen it confuse folks on Lemmy. And this is a pretty techy crowd.
What is a "Gam8r focused" browser?
Rgb… rgb everywhere!
