It also happened last year if you asked if 2026 was next year, and that was at the end of last year, not beginning

4 volumes, 5000 pages now. Also distributed in a much more manageable 10 volumes if you so wish.

Obviously they’re installing Alpine Linux, not some bloated Ubuntu crap. Actually, since Ubuntu has switched to uutils, is it uutils/Linux now?

Here, you dropped this: -

I think it’s quite clear there’s ambiguity (hence this discussion). How would you define opt in? Should a user not even see the button for an opt in feature?

I mean yeah, that’s a fair point, and the dev said that themselves, that the definition of opt in is ambiguous. The definition they seem to use is that AI won’t run unless you explicitly tell it to, and I think that’s ok. There’ll be a button that you can press to do some AI action and you can hide it using the kill switch.

I do hope the kill switch isn’t hidden behind 5 layers of menus

Come to think of it, I do enjoy the translation feature in Firefox

I don’t see why there is a big outrage. Sure I’m not a fan of the AI features and I certainly will disable them but it’s tot like they’re forced upon me. Some people like (want) AI in the browser and good for them, this makes the browser better and easier to use for them. For me, it doesn’t change my experience at all

(Commented this separately on purpose)

All AI features will also be opt-in. I think there are some grey areas in what ‘opt-in’ means to different people (e.g. is a new toolbar button opt-in?), but the kill switch will absolutely remove all that stuff, and never show it in future. That’s unambiguous.

Sounds like they will be opt in, not opt out

My pile of chairs on my clothe has a constant size. O(1) baby!

Are you suggesting we should break into people’s homes and discreetly install Linux on their computers? Because I’m in

Yesss, uBlock 1.67 to fix this new issue

Yes, I agree. Google will use this to control the Android app ecosystem beyond the Play Store and I don’t like it either

They couldn’t. Domains and SSL certificates can be obtained very easily anonymously and thus wouldn’t let Google identify the developers of malicious apps, which is the goal of this

I have 7 alarms for this reason. Typically by the third alarm I’m starting to get out of bed
