If this is news to you: most obituaries are written and produced during the subject's lifetime. Unless they leave life at a statistically unlikely age, the biggest chunks are in the can or pre-written so you can get a single person to do the voiceover over it all. Writers often start writing obits in the press. It lessens the burden of fact checking when the person actually punches their ticket.
So the Bidden footage was probably pre-produced. A similar package exists for the orange one as well. And Rob Reiner's would have been done as well. Although certainly nobody would have anticipated the way he died.
At this point in time you must suspect so-called AI to have its tendrils lodged in a lot of this stuff. I would suspect this less at media companies that still have more than a handful of actual humans employed. So the networks are probably okay. On clickbait dot news I'd be more suspicious.
While I wouldn't want to argue that Firefox hasn't become more shit it doesn't fit the Doctorowian definition of enshitification. And while they screw up stuff, to not an insignificant amount in communicating to the public what they're doing, I do think their desktop browser is still better than most other browsers, all Chromium based ones included, and most of the terrible things are opt-ins. You don't want them to install shit without you knowing? Then don't participate in their experimentals. You don't want the so-called AI crap in there? It'll be opt-in as well so don't opt in. If your standard was zero tracking then vanilla Firefox was never your right flavor. And virtually all mobile shit is trackable. So let's take a chill pill and also appreciate if we push Firefox out of business, all the libres and waters will probably not be far behind.
Everybody is free to switch to any browser they like. Not every switch needs public announcing or result in a call to arms.
