A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I hope enough people see this, because bad things often get more attention on these platforms than positive.

Yeah everyone seems out to get Firefox lately. I almost wonder if its the Chromium gang tryna slander the competition

Its firefox shooting itself in the foot. Reporting on what someone is doing isnt "out to get them".

Firefox had the chance to stand tall next to Chrome turning into dogshit and instead they said "yall want some more dog shit?"

Got into work, Firefox updated, was met with 2 pages, first one was about the AI kill switch with a link to the AI stuff on a single page, second page is as always a blank start page

While I'd prefer better off-by-default and making AI opt-in, this is the next best option. Good job Mozilla.

That's not anything. If it's not off by default they get no points, it's shit. Keep using forks.

Has anyone found it in the mobile version of Firefox? Or is that still AI free?

[–] TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

The only AI in the mobile app is a on-device translation. You can't block it but it only loads when you use it.
