I have to push the AI frequency slide to Never, every time??

lol'd at this

@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social Thanks for implementing! I'm just wondering why the main switch uses a switch widget and the others use a dropdown, is there more functionality planned?

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
