We used to be your champions, your ambassadors. We would've gladly died up on that hill. But now that you've had your fill in publicity and fame. We all turn in shame.

You in your grandeur thought that it was us who were the keys to power. And not the keys to stay in the eyes of our.
You've become like the rest of them. No care for what affected them.

But don't worry we'll rid the pest off them. Just like we've done on your behalf. Let this message be your epitaph.

@ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny thanks for weighing in! That's very similar to my use of translation, fwiw

@wojtek bad attempt of being a contrarian it is.

@jaffathecake @ZBennoui @reflex @ddelemeny that reply is another example of Doing It Again, fwiw.

@jaffathecake @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny will there be an option in the translation tool to substitute it with a 3rd party extension?

@fasterandworse @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny the option isn't within the translate tool, but translation can indeed be provided by add-ons, e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/simple-translate/

@jaffathecake @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny but will they be promoted as alternative options directly in the context of the built-in translation tool?

@reflex @ddelemeny @jaffathecake @froztbyte @fasterandworse not to mention the increased risk of vulnerabilities. I would say that I have not updated my Firefox to avoid these updates and I do find the Mastodon is anti-AI is, being generous, the wrong interpretation of the poll.

@barubary @davidgerard @jaffathecake @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs That’s silly, all the sorts are in textbooks already, we don’t need more

(Sorry)

@reflex @ddelemeny @jaffathecake @froztbyte @fasterandworse after my Firefox stops working, I'll switch to something else. Most probably librewolf

@dadadan @ddelemeny @jaffathecake @froztbyte @fasterandworse Zen and Waterfox have committed to keeping AI out of the default experience. I'm hoping they add Servo as an alternative renderer once they are ready to start taking on bugs, ideally done in a way where we can switch between engines until Servo can fully take over.

@wojtek
Nope, it's not the same.

@fabio @firefoxwebdevs

@fasterandworse @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny I'm not aware of any plan for that. I guess it's similar to the bookmark system not promoting other bookmarking solutions.

@bjoernstaerk @duke_of_germany @jonny @jaffathecake @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard Yep - exactly the same with me. There are lots of browser choices and I've chosen that Firefox is no longer one of them.

For me, it was the change in policy for being not able to say "we don't sell your data" and not Ai - but the Ai stance doesn't make me want to come back.

Saying that the “Mastodon users don't like Ai" is a pretty sweeping generalization and it's easy to interpret as negative.

@jaffathecake @fennix fyi you can ignore people while ostensibly engaging them. this is easy to do if you deliberately do not address the actual points people are making and instead focus on semantics.

@jaffathecake @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny unfortunately the addons library has a bunch of plugins to improve the firefox bookmarking system but not so many to replace it

@jaffathecake

He also put "What is the relation between Mastodon users & Firefox?" in quotes, but i can see why you wouldn't feel recognized in that phrase, after only knowing you from these two accounts

@duke_of_germany @jonny @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard

@ronanmcd

Jake made me install librewolf, it only took me 30 minutes and only because i got distracted trying to copy my data without firefox sync

(I tried to install my own sync server but the repo looks like a disaster. It was easier to activate sync, move the data, then disable it. Its E2EE but it was more a matter of principle, but i didn't have enough free time to waste in a tool that HAS ALWAYS WORKED **FINE** AS IS)

@jaffathecake @ZBennoui @reflex @ddelemeny I’ve given this a couple of hours (and I’m willing to give it a day or two)

But I want to point out to you, @jaffathecake, that your silence and non-engagement here is not going to be read favourably. By anyone.

And they can see you’ve engaged elsewhere.

@froztbyte @ZBennoui @reflex @ddelemeny my engagements have slowed because it's evening for me. Your sense of entitlement over my time in general is misplaced, especially during my personal time. To be entirely clear: you have no right to my personal attention.
