Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
Fucking garbage.
Firefox or this specific functionality?
The AI crap in general, but Firefox keeps pushing the integration. It's well on it's way.
IMHO this is kinda the best implementation we could hope for:
- 100% opt-in: requires activating a shortcut
- non intrusive: doesn’t use up pixels or processing unless activated.
- Uses on-device models when available.
Hey Firefox, if you've been asking yourself why you're losing market share lately... Idiotic features like this no one asked for and no one needs instead of using resources for something productive are the reason.
I read it 3 fucking times as "snake to summarize" and thought it, like, text to speech a web page for you while you played a game of snake. I assumed it was some sort of "accessibility" feature...
