I am open to tag suggestions - if there is something you want me to tag on my posts, leave a comment. <3
do people want this?
i just want a computer that does what i want with feeds I decide. i dont want AI to do shit for me.
why does every tech company want to make these nightmare machines instead of just something that works
i've been lowkey keeping my ear to the ground listening for any indication of good fork but so far nothing.
"Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox..."
oh, that's g-
"...and AI: Read the memo"
...that's unfortunate
can u elaborate what the problem is? Cause they don't say what they're doing with AI
LibreWolf is a fork with very few changes, only removing anything that can phone home to Mozilla. That will almost certainly include any "AI" services rolled into the Firefox browser.
I just started using Firefox because I got sick of Chrome's shit. Can't catch a break in this mfer. I just want a browser that works out the box pls 😭
The "AI" they're talking about is a locally-run translator model (so you can translate webpages without sending your browsing habits off to another company), OCR, and other stuff that can run locally in WebAssembly and WebGPU. It's actually pretty cool.
I can't find anything about either of these ideas on Mozilla's own blog. I did find something that automates web development, which definitely won't end poorly and create a lot of incredibly insecure sites and fuck a lot of people over. :)
