  • Lumo: the least open 'open' AI assistant

    Jump

  • Can you be more specific?

  • What’s new with Firefox 142

    Jump

  • Considering it's doing text-based transformation, wouldn't that be an LLM or at least a very close sibling?

    Regardless, I've no idea why they would need to do this either. Even Google Chrome sorted this out years ago by adding an "open new tab in group" option.

  • Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?

  • FWIW Ente just added photo editing

  • BlackBerry Classic is being revived with Android, and it can be yours for $400

  • II would appreciate Unihertz much more if they provided more than five minutes of security updates after each release. Or at least made it easier to run third-party ROMs.

  • How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should

    Jump

  • To be fair, the article itself recommends it.

  • Intel Raptor Lake CPUs are crashing more frequently due to summer heatwaves, Firefox dev says

    Jump

  • Probably both. Climate change raises ambient temperatures, tech companies are lazy and enjoy selling more chips for more AI data centers...

    Axon’s Draft One is designed to defy transparency

  • Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

    Jump

  • Personally, I don't believe that people should be banished from discussing things unless they agree with them already. Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss. But if you don't like it when people speak disagreeably about things, are you not contributing to that exact same environment?

    It's also unfair to assume that anyone who does not love everything about [product] automatically is a hater of [product]. I haven't seen any communities devoted to only praising Firefox, but you could certainly make one of your own.

    Amazon must face US class action over Alexa users' privacy, judge rules

  • They're already going that direction. Mozilla needs a change of heart, not just a change of income

  • The Text Fragments creation UI was just activated in Firefox Nightly allowing you to share/reference a link anchor to any text snippet in a page

    Jump

  • Text fragment linking already works in the latest version of Firefox, although you'll need to install an extension like this one to create links.

    Bumble's AI icebreakers are mainly breaking EU law

  • Firefox 140.0 Release Notes

    Jump

  • Custom Search Engines: Firefox now supports adding even more search engines. To add a custom engine, right-click a search field of a supported website and select “Add Search Engine”, or go to Settings > Search > Add (below the search shortcuts table) to manually enter a search URL.

    "Settings > Search > Add" was already available in Firefox for Desktop, but you manually had to travel to about.config to add the missing browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh boolean and set it to true. You've been able to do this for at least 4 years, and it's worked on Android for a while too.

    Maybe they finally finished polishing it up.

  • Apology accepted.

    Crazy how Mozilla has done so much stuff that people just forgot

  • Firefox doesn't let you use alt text anywhere, except for the most ridiculously niche location.

    People who want to see it when they browse webpages get nothing.

    It's only if you

    • open a PDF in Firefox
    • and then choose to edit it
    • and then choose to add an image
    • and then choose to add alt text to it
    • and then choose to generate alt text instead

    If Mozilla cares about accessibility, what a weird niche of a niche of a place to put it.

  • I don't need to be a source code expert to understand what Mozilla has done, thankfully. That's not a technological hurdle the average person should have to overcome. I know more than most people have the privilege to know, and further gatekeeping (any gatekeeping) is unnecessary.

    If that was not your intent, or for other people who are genuinely interested:

    If gatekeeping my comment was your intent, I would be happy to track down the source code as long as you made an extensive effort to get Mozilla to remove the code that collects your data...

  • It's good to watch Mozilla pouring their time, effort, and dwindling funds into the most important features - AI ones!
