Not idol worship, rather, it’s silly to complain about JS when tools like NoScript allow you to selectively choose what runs instead of guessing what it is. It’s simply a documentation page like it says on the URL. I mean, they’re incredibly tame on the danger scale to leave your guard all the way up and instead take a jab at the entire community that had nothing to do with your personal choices.
The AI bullshit features as you call them are completely non invasive,
And yet I had to turn them off in about:config, not even in the regular settings. Why are the settings hidden? Why can’t I turn them on if I want them? Why isn’t opt-in and transparency their standard approach with such a controversial feature? Those are some serious dark patterns for a company advertising itself as user-friendly, that they had to backtrack on when they saw the community uproar.
Now it’s happening again, but on the developer side.
Stop the bullshitting and complaining over things are completely irrelevant
Irrelevant? I can’t afford AI threads running in the background, hogging my memory and processing power away from my productivity apps for whatever bullshit they decide to add that barely relates to what I use a browser for. I don’t live in a “first-world country” with standard hardware. That’s the whole reason I use Firefox, for the respect for their users that I have grown accustomed to, which they now seem to want to ignore. It’s a huge violation of trust that you’re downplaying when they want to add things first and apologize later.
The bottom line is that their approach has shifted recently, and I have every right to criticize them for it when they say one thing and do another.
I still use Firefox every day, but I don’t trust the corporate overlords to do what’s right long term. They seem to be getting greedy instead of listening to the user base. They’ve started including AI bullshit features for the sake of it, like grouping tabs by content that nobody asked for and that barely works for me. I’m not anti-Mozilla, but I sure am weary of it and would welcome an alternative.
I haven’t come across any open source comments, but those seem pretty clueless.
I don’t think many countries are at the point of protecting trans rights specifically. At least, mine does classify it as a hate crime but it’s lumped together with all the other hate crimes.
They’ve also been propping up the market with some sketchy circular deals, swearing up and down they’re not like Enron.
Yaaarggh! Fuck you auto mod, I’m trying to be helpful. >:(
Same here. The problem was that I needed more RAM. 🙃
Everything’s wrong with being cynical and rude.
I’ve learned not to make self-deprecating comments to my bosses. They’ve never had anything good to say, even if I was joking.
I think they were joking.
I wouldn’t be so sure, matey! Yaarrghh! ⛵🏴☠️🦜
Same here. The last AAA game I bought was probably Diablo III, and I barely touched that piece of junk. I’ve learned my lesson and either pirate it to try it out first or wait for sales on Steam. My most prized games in my collection are the indie ones anyway, so I’m not rushing to buy AAA anymore.
Lawmakers Have No Idea What They’re Doing
Sounds like a headline for literally every issue regarding technology.
Oh god, you’ve just given me a glimpse into my future. I’m currently plowing through Multiverse, and I’m tempted to add something else. Must… resist…
Me looking at these benchmarks like I’m about to play anything other than FTL.
It gets quite silly when you blame the entire dev community for supposedly downvoting you over ideals rather than being overly strict about them. I also prefer HTML-first and think it should be the norm, but I draw the line somewhere reasonable.
Yeah, and you can run the innocuous JS or figure out what it is from the URL. You’re tying your own hands while dishing it out to everyone else.
