What’s up with the AI slop image for this post?
Also, Mozilla is destroying Firefox by themselves, they don’t need help from m$
firefox really shouldnt be our only line of defence for decent browser…
Holy shit that image… we need to destroy AI I’m sick of this absolute garbage polluting the web
Yes, I agree. Join us over on fuck_AI
This is indeed a disturbing universe.
Why would I join a fuck AI sub that every day I login is just gonna be like fuck it I fuck AI that just sounds like a complete mental drain no thank you.
because fuck “AI”.
ya no shit fuck ai, but I don’t need to subject myself to that every time I log in to here, get real dude, not all of us are here just to be angry all the time.
Fuck AI
To join the circlejerk? No thanks.
Every time I come across a post with the biggest “we hate everything” energy, it is one of fuck_AI.
Even blatant misinformation gets upvoted and shared. As long as it attacks AI.
Same vibe as the anti-Bieber crowd back in the day.
Did you know that Fuck_AI has been harassing users, making alts to spam and harass people?
But they’re the good guys, telling others to kill themselves!
Almost as bad as people.
Image? The entire site feels ai guided.
The image isn’t even used in the article, 100% it’s a ragebait tactic for clicks.
It has been right add the top of the page, it looks like they changed it.
Windows forcing their own propriatary software as a means to destroy competing web browsers? Is it 1997 already?
Downvoting for unsolicited AI slop on my feed.
It would’ve been cool if they used Blender for the lil’ guy. 🥺
Did they also force them to kill MDN, buy pocket, or funnel 99% of the foundation’s budget on everything that’s not Firefox?
What’s this about killing MDN?
In 2020 they fired the entire MDN writing team, slashed the budget, and basically left it in maintainance mode. The same year the foundation decided to drop millions on teaching Africans to code or some shit…
The same year the foundation decided to drop millions on teaching Africans to code or some shit
this would be a very good use of money, if the money actually reached the target audience
I’ve got no issues with helping people in need, but even if it’s not an embezzlement scheme, this is extremely bad prioritization unless their priority is publicity.
MDN is a proven resource that’s helped a lot of people learn to code. How many African translators can you hire for a milion a year, let alone like 8? How many more people would learn to code that way?l
But nah, let’s feed money into “partners” that use some experimental teaching methods, while destroying a crucial learning resource because corona made us broke.
It’s like the foundation’s only goal is to drain the life out its every successful subsidiary.
Thundermail seems cool at least, as an encrypted email service.

Thunder* is developed by a separate corporation, they’re just both subsidiaries of the mozilla foundation. Also mzla is pretty much financially independent from the foundation due to individual donations.

You can send e2ee emails with thunderbird.
Nah, mozilla sabotaged firefox.
Por qué no los dos.
Was the image generated with copilot?
Deja vu
Mozilla could have had a foothold but they literally added AI into Firefox, so idk how far they’re gonna get.
It defaults to local models only from what I know. You probably are responding from a device that uses embedded models already. If you are against technology how are you responding?
FR. These features are so easy to disable, when I updated Firefox recently it asked me on next load if I want the features or not… I chose not, no big deal!
‘AI’ is this generations Justin Bieber / Skrillex. There’s plenty to criticise but it’s becoming a bandwagon at this point.
I don’t think Microslop really needs to sabotage Firefox. Firefox is doing a really good job of shooting their own selves in the foot.
I don’t get this argument. Mozilla and Firefox is the best we have. Are they perfect, no, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. They are still a lot better than the alternatives.
It’s obviously important to hold Mozilla accountable, but I worry that all the negativity makes people just stick with Chrome or Edge because they think it’s all the same.
Its the best we have, given that our standart of “good” is privacy and open-source etc. Otherwise Firefox is just not a great browser. Especially on mobile. And Mozilla keeps making it kinda worse for privacy bit by bit. There isnt really any reason for someone who doesnt care about privacy to usw firefox.
I’ll agree that their mobile experience is not great, they don’t support tablet layouts for example, but it still has the best support for ad blocking. I consider that essential for the modern internet.
My big concern is that we’re repeating the Internet Explorer issue all over again, where the web is coded for it instead of standards. Now Google has the ability to strong arm the Internet by not adopting standards, pushing their preferences, etc. Web sites are being coded coded to run on better on Blink than Gecko so it gets worse all the time. If we give up on Mozilla the Internet will fall even further into the hands of big tech.
Fuck off with this AI bullshit
Anti-steering stuff again. Besides that I’ll always be a bit annoyed with Mozilla both with their design decisions for FirefoxOS and then how much they bungled it. RokuOS is still highly relevant while FirefoxOS descendents are real niche. Firefox is usually the default on Linux distros. Mozilla should have at least been pushing Linux distros that shipped Firefox on laptops/desktops since FirefoxOS was announced
Firefox makes a good fork base anyway
I just came to watch the people angry about the cover image.
To be fair, they edited in the Microslop logo and also the Firefox icon, making a crying fox look like a narcissist hugging it’s own image, that is not completely out of blue with their recent shitty decisions
They get very loud and really don’t shut up, do they? Gotta just scream 24/7 about how much they hate it.
