Weird, I don’t have a new AI sidebar and I’m running the latest version.

Well you’re in luck because the translation feature is local https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation

Don’t get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the “Mozilla using AI” stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they’ve implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it’s a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

Move over FeRAM

Great read, I was unfamiliar with this publication. Thanks for sharing.

Lissen is my favorite audiobook player

I like that unlike Chrome, Firefox mobile can use all the extensions.

CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.

I love this idea.

My first thought when GPT first released was “oh this is how search engines will be able to serve ads without disclosing that they are serving ads”

It’s theoretically possible but difficult to actually do. China has a large central government and surveillance state, VPNs are essentially banned there, and yet a large percentage of the population uses them daily to the point where it’s commonplace.

It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

Not saying you’re wrong (pretty sure you’re not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

oh god dammit

That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

“Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there’s a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone.”

I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I’m not in favor of.

OK so it sounds like there is still just the single BlueSky that is “federated” with a handful of single-user BlueSkies?

Wait, there are 1600 BlueSky instances to join? Are they counting people using a custom domain name as an entire instance?
