For context, the part where they talk about AI:
We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox -- which many, many of you have been asking about -- in the same way. We’re focused on giving you AI features that solve tangible problems, respect your privacy, and give you real choice.
We’re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models -- i.e., more private -- to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we’re starting with next quarter is AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities.
I mean, this is not "slapping an LLM on top of the software and calling it AI", it's integrating it into the browser in usable ways.
One usage of a local model is the local translation feature which was ... kinda nice? Not having to go online to translate? Pretty cool right?
This is similar here with the alt text, seems like a force for good?
Feels like they're fulfilling what they said in the first paragraph of the quote.
For one soon HMD/Nokia will come out with a new Nokia 3310 as the first dumbphone with 5G
After reading a non-fiction book, do you beat yourself up over not remembering all that much? This is especially painful if the book took years to complete (e.g. Anne Applebaum's "Gulag").
It's a bit ridiculous to expect to become an Encyclopedia after reading something in passing too, though.
I feel as if working with a computer and using the internet daily destroyed my attention span, which is why I'm self concious about this.
Mumble is super popular with EVE Online players still, no? Because of the support for a large number of users in a single room

I've been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I've given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It's unreal how strict the requirements are now.
- Give e-mail (ok)
- Give phone number (.... eeh, ok)
- Use the new account for a while
- Account suspended, please upload selfie to continue (no thanks xi). There are also some verification promps where you have to record a video and rotate your face left to right
If this isn't a message to move to indie web I don't know what is
The first quote block refers to what is mentioned in the OP article, and the 2nd is an exaggerated summary of the parent comment.
My issue is that the parent comment is taking imo a lenient stance towards something vile happening

I was working with NPM package.json files a lot lately and I often found myself saving them in an unparseable state. json-ts-mode highlights syntax errors in yellow but it wasn't enough.
I didn't want to use flymake-eslint becuase it requires having the jsonlint binary in the PATH and I just wanted a simple Lisp solution.
The code tries to parse the current buffer on save using Emacs' built-in json-parse-string and moves the cursor to the location of the parsing error if it fails.
The below code naively assumes that the saved buffer is always the current buffer, which may very well not be the case (e.g. (save-some-buffers)).
It also probably won't save JSON5 files which have // comments inside because json-parse-string won't handle that.
```
(defun rtz/json-parse-pre ()
(interactive)
(if (eq major-mode 'json-ts-mode)
(condition-case err
(progn
(json-parse-string
(buffer-substring-no-properties
(point-min)
(point-max)))
nil)
(json-parse-error
(goto-char (nth 3 err)) (error err)))))
(setq write-file-functions '(rtz/json-parse-pre)) ```
