Born and raised in London. Just a normal guy with a moral compass.
Didn’t she just have a baby?
It’s all very Black Mirror
Aren’t Google and Bing and others paying to be featured in Firefox. What’s the difference?
But if Mozilla can, for example create a sources list and even charge for the ability to be a default on said sources list, wouldn’t that be a double win? The problem with things being unreliable can be dealt with via language. Like big red text saying don’t trust this blindly.
cannot fact check itself let alone anything else. Why don’t you do your own fact checking?
Why don’t I render my own CSS? Firefox has the ability to pull alternative sources in the background and compare against my current page. What is wrong with that?
But the problem is, people think that there’s one single development team working on Firefox and if they’re working on AI, they’re not improving or working on anything else.
People hate the term AI and so Mozilla were always going to struggle with providing modern functionality, as let’s face it, the Internet is embracing AI whether we like it or not
There’s AI in many forms in Firefox such as how it predicts the page you want to revisit from the address bar and translates content locally on device. If these AI capabilities were moved to extensions, it would probably significantly reduce the benefit users get from Firefox and likely prevent other useful features such as privacy preserving AI alternatives.
This is poignant. AI as we know it is basically what we were calling machine learning a couple years ago. The same people that are very vocally complaining about the advent of a smarter browser, are the same people that bemoan Mozilla for depending on Google for financing. Somehow they want a browser that only the most devout privacy evangelists would use and they want a browser that is self-sustained through diverse deals, none of which they’re able to see or feel.
I feel like there’s a lot of disingenuous Firefox supporters who want a utopia browser and refuse to allow Mozilla to do anything to evolve the browser. These same people talk up all the Firefox forks and that change a few defaults and yet bemoan everything Mozilla does that makes those forks possible. It’s boring.
Loved the branding and was so hopeful, but like everyone else, I long thought the project was dead.
No one in government has a conscience. The idea that just because we’re only responsible for 1% of the weapons, it’s not a big deal is ridiculous. Especially when we’re providing coordinates for them to bomb innocent civilians.
Wasn’t it 30/350 licenses?
And Israel likes to cite these 1200 deaths while neglecting the fact that they’ve killed over 40000 Palestinians in retaliation and taken the opportunity to plunder the land.
The only thing shameful is that the UK continues to turn a blind eye.
Someone posted something recently that checked a bunch of functionality across different networks.
Still no wealth tax though, no?
Exactly! To say it’s very right wing would be an understatement.
Yup. Pretty much the same thing but on a different network.
That’s a Nostr relay, nothing to do with the Fediverse.
People frame things in the weirdest way. Mozilla are very up front about the telemetry they take and it can be turned off. Also, it’s worth noting, it’s not removed, they just migrated over to Glean.
Very respectable setup. Nice work. I’m glad you found something that feels like home for you.
Can’t wait for all the people that are moaning about Firefox integrating AI to provide parity with every other major browser to have that same energy and lambast Google for trying to fuck over poor people with their market dominance.
Also for the record, Sundar Pichai is an idiot, how does this ever end well?
