At least Firefox isn’t an extension of the worlds largest ad company, no amount of dev budget can fix that.
Context aware search, summarizing in side view or importing an agent directly from a repository into your browser are things that come to mind without much thinking, and i am not a developer.
Worst case they loose their current users without attracting new ones.
And where to?
Ladybird, Servo and Floorp are all not useable as a daily driver and will take years to get there (and btw, the ladybird guy is a major shithead and last i heard of Servo was that they were going to cater to the embedded market, not a full blown browser).
Firefox forks can do what they want, even switch off the AI button, but i’d still say they help keeping the browser engine itself afloat, because they still depend on Firefox - there’s not one fork with enough dev staff to keep up. That leaves us with chromium based browsers and safari. I’d say the commitment to the current userbase to make the changes optional is good enough to keep most of them.
I ’m one of them. Why not make it one click for people who want it instead?
I’d put current Firefox users much more in the department of “able to find the settings” than the vast majority of users. The majority wants something that works with everything they throw at it out of the box without rummaging through settings.
The issue is that there aren’t many of us Firefox users left, so asking us while FF wants to get NEW users to expand the market share (which is badly needed, so they do not lose their seat at the table regarding web standards, and to make them less dependent on googles payments) is not helpful at all.
As long as i can switch it off with one click, i couldn’t care less and will continue using FF, but as you can see many existing users will bitch and moan even if it’s just one click.
Which isn’t a bad thing, actually. Being a non-profit can make it hard to expand in some cases, but what makes for-profit companies shit is the shareholders calling for the upward going line, which isn’t the motivator of the shareholder here.
Maybe they were gifted the gift card - Or they default to purchasing their Apple stuff using gift cards only because they don’t want their credit card data saved on Apples side. Who knows?

Firefox-based browsers can choose to set a default font to be used instead of site-configured fonts; there are addons that work as a button to swap between the two. I assume chromium-based browsers can do the same. I for my part swap everything by default with Atkinson Hyperlegible Next .
We need a modern Stauffenberg
Haven’t played in a while; if i make a mistake please correct me.
You play with a standard 52 card deck. The goal is to sort the cards by suit in ascending order (A,2,3,4…).
You can move revealed cards (or complete/partial card stacks) onto the next higher, different colored card, e.g. in the example above you can move the clubs 2 onto the diamond 3. if you uncover a hidden card, you can turn it over, making it accessible. Empty places on the board are only allowed to receive Kings, the target spots can only receive the next valid card, in the upper example you can move the Ace in one of the top spots.
If you don’t have a valid move, you draw a card from the stack on the top left. The currently revealed card there can be accessed while it is the topmost card; this means if you can move the topmost card you can access the previous card (if there is one).
There are two main variants of the game: Draw one and Draw Three. In draw one, your game is over as soon as the last card is drawn from the stack and there are no more valid moves; in draw three, you draw 3 cards at a time, only the topmost card is accessible, but you are allowed to flip over the staple 2 times when you run out of cards - giving you an information advantage for the additional disadvantage that you can only directly access every third card.
Score is counted by how far you can fill up the upper spots; Vegas rules have you buy in and get payout depending on how far you can fill the top row, with higher card numbers reached being worth proportionally more.
Not all games are winnable by default, since there’s the possibility that lower value cards might be stuck under cards that aren’t movable; this is not knowable, and as you can see from the above discussion, it’s not trivial to calculate either :-)
According to government figures, users have downloaded the app more than five million times since its launch, helping to block more than 3.7 million stolen or lost mobile phones and blocking more than 30 million fraudulent connections, Reuters reported.
In that time, the app has helped recover more than 700,000 lost phones, according to the figures.
I don’t know, but i don’t believe a userbase of 5 million (which started at zero in january) with the rest of these numbers (700k lost phones?)
also, reaction time for the average human is around 300ms, and, since you can only measure speed after looking at it for at least a little bit, which makes this even more undefined: is that the speed where she started perceiving the throw, the time she completed the calculation or the time she finished spelling it out?
I dki so too - just upgraded my X2600 with a shiny X5950, the nicest cpu my aging mainboard can run. with 16 cores and 64 gigs of ram i see a future when i simply replace the entire machine for daily use and make this one a very nice server.
and he looks a bit like surprised pikachu
oof. sorry to hear that. explains why they have no issues dealing with russia.
I learnt most in school (in austria tho, american schools have been defunded so hard its a miracle the US hasn’t fallen into pieces … yet), if i had to pin it down mostly in language classes (German, English) because of the literature i was exposed to and the discussions we had about current events, philosophy because its philosophy and art classes because of the teacher and interpretations of art pieces in context of the time they were created. Also my biology teacher who taught us to keep an open mind and a lot about the scientific method.
The important part were the teachers, who didn’t just let us memorize stuff, but encouraged us to ask questions.
I learnt about Aadhaar here about a month ago and was appalled at this technological nightmare, which (of course!) fucks over the poor and disadvantaged the most, with shit like “you cannot get an Aadhaar because you don’t have one”. I didn’t realize that this abomination could be cranked up to eleven too!
My suspicion is that this will lead to an “official” india and a “inofficial” one, with the inofficial part being ruled by gangs and crime syndicates with all the bullshit that comes with that. (if it isnt that way currently, i don’t know too much about it)
ah i thought those were just shadows or artifacts because of the garbage image resolution.I do have red/green colorblindness tho, which messes with brown tones too, so that didn’t help too lol. Thanks to all who answered!
Can someone explain it to me? I don’t get it at all, but i’m not a native speaker, and i suspect that i identify the brownies? wrong.
Sure, why not? Making my local LLM web aware is not an easy or intuitive process, it would be great if i could hook it up in firefox per default.
