Can't disagree that I'd rather the time be spent elsewhere, but firefox needs to be a big tent that isn't only targeted to tech savvy or anti AI people. I'll also admit I turned off smart tab group in about:config as soon as I saw it, but rather than "pestering" it was just a button in the tab group UI? I don't even know how to do link previews so it definitely never pestered me there. Local language translation is actively useful and far more desirable that using remote services.
Another point about pulling time away from other development... The same time period these were implemented is also when they finally started doing things people definitely like such as tab groups and vertical tabs so it sure doesn't seem like they're too tight in resources.
Tldr; firefox is for everyone and being mad that they implemented features you don't use is entitled bullshit
Broken record 2 chiming in. None of these features do anything unless you use them so they effectively are opt-in. Turning off the settings gets rid of the UI elements that are how you'd use them, which is excellent.
Additionally, a setting to automatically disable future features is a very strong acknowledgement of and empowerment for strongly anti-AI users.
Up until now I have agreed with the crowd upset at how FF as handled AI features, but at this point you are just upset because you want to be.
Some features of Windows 11 might also be locked away behind a subscription model that are expected to be “advanced AI services”, but the core OS will be a one-time purchase only.
Her mother was hit by a car on the way to work in 2017 and suffered a serious injury.
While it sounds better than the US by leaps and bounds, it seems like Chinese people that aren't rich can still be financially ruined by medical situations that the rich get to buy their way out of.
People don’t already know (check the thread you’re in)
If you can say that about one thing you can say it about anything, including your first comment I replied to, which heavily implied valve is to credit for everything even though a large share of the work over the years has been done by passionate people for no compensation.
Valve is doing something wrong, and/or 3) They are somehow at fault for something, like stolen valor or not giving credit where credit is due.
Nope, was only adding a little context, because though you claim everyone viewing this thread would already know, I'm sure you're incorrect.
And this comment is why I feel I have to say it. Credit where credit is due, but being this bristly over someone pointing out that the contributions of the open source community aren't the work of valve and valve alone is ridiculous
Valve is turning the entire ARM ecosystem on its end by building out an entire suite of tools to make an emulation layer
A bit pedantic but I think it's worth noting that valve is only funding things that already exist and integrating them into their ecosystem rather than creating them from scratch
The content is said to "normalise the sexualisation of children, promote the idea that children consent, and fuel demand for real child abuse material"
So academia supports this? Oh we're just curtailing freedom on vibes again?
Oh is it this time again? Every several months there is an influx of Chinese devices and this discussion happens. It'll likely be up again next month. Have fun with the wild speculation I guess
They could just efficiently download the freely available archive instead of being assholes but nooo
