They won’t, it’s a stupid blog that is making shit up.

Brave is as stupid as manually installing a virus, I bet you are correct that that is the kind of idiots we are dealing with.

Your source is a blog with a stupid anecdote from Japan as its main feature. Why should I take that seriously?

standard approach with such a controversial feature

The “controversial” features:

1. Alt-text generation: Creates descriptions for images, which is particularly useful for making PDFs more accessible to screen readers.
2. On-device translation: Translates web pages without sending your content to external servers, protecting your privacy.
3. Smart tab groups: Analyzes open tabs to suggest names and group similar ones together to help with organization.
4. Link previews: Generates key points from articles to give you a quick summary.

These are all very modest in requirements even on an old phone. And the use is actually zero unless you use the function.
AFAIK all further AI functionalities are all optional.

Number one is particularly useful for blind people, a group that absolutely needs screen readers to work well.

So again stop the bullshitting, just because you are bullshitting yourself too doesn’t make it better.
Either that or mention just one single specific function you “needed” to disable and why.
IMO your misunderstood whining is annoying.

Personally I use the translation function a lot, it is both very handy and very good, and I have used it for both Russian and Ukrainian and Chinese, and it works surprisingly well.
But maybe you speak every language on the planet, or find it more convenient to use an online translator, leaving unnecessary extra digital trails and requiring extra bandwidth?
How you don’t find that feature useful is beyond me???

Absolutely amazing tool for gamers on Linux.
Easy to use and incredibly versatile.
100% Open Source (MIT license) and 100% recommended. 👍

I don’t trust the corporate overlords to do what’s right long term.

You don’t have to, if Mozilla really screwed the pooch with Firefox it would be forked. Debian used to do it with IceWeasel over a petty thing like the copyright of the Firefox logo, which 100% has always been justified, and is necessary to distinguish between an official Firefox and a fork.

The AI bullshit features as you call them are completely non invasive, I always use the newest Firefox, and I never even noticed those features.

Stop the bullshitting and complaining over things are completely irrelevant. and will never ever have any negative influence on anything you do with Firefox.
I’m so sick of this lame community doing this over and over and over again, and it always turns out to be nothing.

Yes they are, because I bet this, as always, is a complete nothing burger, just like the previous 10 times the past year I’ve seen similar baseless attacks on Firefox.

Why the fuck is lemmy so chuck full of anti Fiirefox and anti Mozilla propaganda?
I even see comments about Firefox needing to be open source again!?!?
It FUCKING IS open source, anybody can fork it if they want to, the only thing they can’t do is use the Firefox logo and name.

You are all a bunch of idiots!! (everybody who upvoted this trash blog)

Yes you are right, it’s hard to find an analogy that is both as stupid and also sounds somewhat plausible.
Because of course a bread company cannot reasonably claim that eating their bread is against terms of service. But that’s exactly the problem, because it’s the exact same for OpenAI, they cannot reasonably claim what they are claiming.

That’s like a gun company claiming using their weapons for robbery is a violation of terms of service.

No Putin invaded Ukraine way before that, I think it was 2008 in Donbas, and of course Crimea in 2014.

Oh wow, here I thought it was hopeless, and then we end up mostly agreeing anyway.
But I don’t think USA was the cause for Russia invading Ukraine. That I think is 100% on Putin and his idea of recreating the Empire of the former Soviet Union.

But I do agree that Biden kind of prevented Ukraine from winning as much as he prevented Ukraine from losing.
And Trump has definitely not done much to help Ukraine win either, both prolonging a war that could have been finished much quicker if we had helped Ukraine more.

And of course prolonging the war earns money for the MIC.

No matter how you look at it, even 20% in 4-5 years is very far from through the roof, especially considering the USD also lost 10-15% value in that time.

Rheinmetall was about €80 5 years ago and is now €1500 that’s an increase of 1775%, Now THAT’S THROUGH THE ROOF.
And that is in a currency that has kept it’s value.

So you original statement remains decidedly false.

You really are a special kind of dense, look how it immediately drops again so it now is at the exact same level it was 4 years ago.
Why are you spreading false info?

Our MIC stocks are through the roof

No actually they are not, for instance Lockheed Martin AFAIK the biggest weapons manufacturer in USA, is worth about the same as it was 5 years ago.
European military companies on the other hand have increased a lot in recent years, while American have declined.
USA alone and not to be trusted is not a good strategy for exporting weapons to former allies.
ALL NATO countries are seeking alternatives to American weapons now.

Contrary to McDonnell Douglas Rheinmetall has increased 700% in 3 years!!

Rheinmetall:

Lockheed Martin https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LMT/

Edit:
Changed US example to Lockheed Martin.

There’s a huge difference between a hard life at the low end of the scale, to a privileged lifestyle like Putin has.
Also I don’t believe your images represent what you claim, and finally nationality has NOTHING to do with it.

I think you mean USA is ready to do nothing until the last Ukrainian.
Fuck USA.

Yes that’s true.

He has a good person doing his plastic surgeon work.

???
What? That must be a lousy plastic surgeon then, or extremely poor material to work on, because he looks every bit 73 years old. I had a neighbor who was 71, and they look very similar in age, and my neighbor most definitely never saw a plastic surgeon.
