Please stop making your “ai” logos buttholes. It’s a little to on the nose …

As you might have seen, the costs of computers and online services are increasing sharply due to the AI/LLM bubble overwhelming supply chains.
If your friendly indie hosting provider starts increasing its prices, it probably isn't their fault and they may not have any choice.
Hosting companies rely on wholesalers of online services. If those wholesale costs go up significantly, the hosting company may have to put up their own prices just to cover their costs.

p.s. Even if you run your own self-hosted server at home, you will still see this in the sheer cost of buying hardware. Identical SSDs are costing three or four times their price a year ago, RAM chips are a similar story. Even "spinning rust" HDDs are creeping up.
There's no way of escaping the situation, it is making life difficult for every form of computing and online service. The only solution would be for the AI/LLM bubble to pop and reduce demand to a more realistic and sustainable level.
@homegrown just to know in market term it's not bubble pop but "market correction", a beautiful term to say many company will be bankrupted due to their unsustainable investement on something that do not have the value of the investement.
p.p.s. You can see charts of how sudden and extreme the current price increases are:
RAM

SSDs & HDDs
https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/internal-hard-drive/
These components are used by all computers including those that power online services. As the prices of components are increasing by 200-500%, it means online services' running costs are going up and so their prices will go up too.
@homegrown it’s now _has_ gone up. Hetzner and OVH announced price increases this morning, directly due to component costs. Our hosting bill went up by more than 35% overnight.
Might be worth reaching out to @grunfink@comam.es as I'm not sure why the user.json would be affected.
There was a pretty critical news segment by Nieuwsuur about @landesregierung 's move to open source alternatives. It shows a Higher Court user having issues with LibreOffice vs Microsoft Office, and using a scanner workaround. Also the email migration didn't go without issue.
To someone who has done this migration before; jup sounds familiar. But it's also something that can be solved. We're actually visiting SH next week to learn about their #opensource experience.

@landesregierung @Gina "I've been working with this one tool for 20 years and have learned to circumnavigate some of its bugs" type of problem.
Sure, a new tool will require you to unlearn some things and learn some new things. Just like you did when you moved to word and outlook all those years back.
Of course, we know they're worth the effort 😁

@bitwarden the second half of this is all about AI, in case anyone was wondering whether it was worth bothering to fill out
@bitwarden this form runs like absolute garbage on a non-modern device (fairphone 3+ on lineage using ironwolf browser).
Almost impossible to fill it out. Oh no, wait, in fact, it is impossible as now I'm getting errors when trying to submit answers.
Sort it out, will you? And leave the AI shit questions out of it will you!?
@paul Hi Paul, feel free to share more detail on the error you are running into so we can pass it to the team. The AI feedback has been passed along.
@bitwarden just getting failed to submit errors, and now the entire form has lost my progress.
But the entire form platform is running incredibly inefficiently - it's not my device, I can go to my own form system and it runs great - it's the form system itself. I imagine it's all the fancy animations, but it makes it largely unusable.
I encourage you to find a low powered device i.e. a raspberry Pi or a smartphone from a few years ago and try to complete the form on to see what I mean
@paul Thanks for the extra feedback, it has been shared with the team.
@bitwarden Thank you.
And I politely request you provide some sort of context of why #Bitwarden are asking questions about how people use #AI ?
Once again, I must stress, it is deeply concerning that a password manager company are asking about AI - DEEPLY CONCERNING! If you have good intentions, and wish to use the data in such a way to prevent any AI access then make that clear - asking questions around AI without context is dangerous for a business like yours.
For the fun of it, I'm going to CC: @davidgerard - no real information of what any of this is for yet, but perhaps one to keep an eye on.
@paul @bitwarden @davidgerard I second this question. AI has no business near the code base of a security product or project.
boosted@bitwarden @paul Just te be clear: I will cancel my subscription and stop recommending bitwarden to customers if AI gets added. I am a security professional (pentester and giving awareness training for small government).
@bitwarden @paul So it running extremely slow should be one thing that is easy to benchmark.
@sotolf they don't want to deal with such pesky problems, we should just go and buy new devices.
😑
@paul @bitwarden Yeah, make sure that you keep up in the rat race, consume, CoNsUmE, CONSUME C̴̛͍̦̖̈́̂͂̄̿͒̌̋̈́̚͝O̴̥̭̺͓̺̳̘͈̯̦͇͕̊̀́͝N̷̢͔̹̬̪̜̗̯̊́̃̐͊̿͠Ṡ̴̻̰̙̘̘̰̉̆͌̀̎̉̈́̏̀͘͜͝ͅU̶̜̠̜̱͗͜Ḿ̷̡̞̺̲̭̗̘̹̤͚̜͕͔̰́͂̐͐̓̀̇E̸̤̗̟̤̮̣̤̩͖͉͔͔̠̠̓̅̌͂͗͠͝
@bitwarden and if it helps... Nobody wants an LLM slopmachine to have any involvement with their passwords - anybody with even the slightest hint of a brain will tell you that. The fact you're even asking AI questions is incredibly worrying
@bitwarden
On the top of my stack is my brain.
And it asks, which data you collect with the survey besides the answers to your questions?
@bitwarden I don’t get all the hate about the AI questions in the comments. It’s a trending topic and the questions are reasonable.
Keep up the good work Bitwarden!
@bitwarden while I managed to complete the survey, I echo the report that it runs badly. My device is a Motorola g84 5g, which tends to run well on most modern websites. I know it's up to typeform, but maybe you could find a different/better form provider in the future (or even self-host a readymade solution, I'm sure you have the team and infra to do so)
@bitwarden I'm very concerned about all the AI questions! The only thing gen. AI does well is creating as much propaganda and "what even is true anymore?" kind of photos and videos as the worst actors in the world want to produce. Autocrats and nazis and all the worst people can easily use them to pump out billions of comments and websites and anything they want to sway people's opinions. And the rest it's used for is to generate confident sounding "answers" with lots of errors and no sources
@bitwarden How come you guys are using proprietary Typeform now, when @CryptPad form appeared to work great in the past?
If you like Typeform UX, #Formbricks is a self-hostable FOSS solution that looks just as amazing, although not #e2ee like #Cryptpad.
How do I get into a new domain? I read. A lot.
Here are my books I read for getting into oncological AI (kaiko.ai), supply chain management (alloy.ai), autonomous military drones (vibedroning.ai) and maps (HERE Technologies).
You shouldn't trust engineers who don't read. People who don't understand the domain create suboptimal solutions and cause unnecessary iteration.
If you need someone who respects the complexity and nuance of your domain to apply AI in it properly and successfully, don't hesitate to connect and send me a message! I am still available for new opportunities.

AI hype isn't so much about technology; it's a way of communicating within the oligopoly that they intend to drop product quality in concert.
It's the same as how they used to collaborate to keep prices artificially high-- only now consumers have no money left, they're chasing a profit margin by reducing production costs and therefore product quality. The stuff AI produces is objectively bad and unmaintainable, and it's not that businesses don't see that, it's more that they've decided that producing this level of output is a good business strategy.
Consumer choice has been an illusion for a long time. We can't take our money elsewhere because everywhere we might go is in on the conspiracy. (By which I simply mean "people conspiring". This isn't a conspiracy of dark smoke-filled rooms, but a bland one of coded language and tacit agreements). And this swing was happening well before AI became its favoured tool-- when was the last time you bought a piece of technology that Just Worked?
AI is terrible in its own terms, yes. But it would have been just a stupid novelty had it not happened to coincide with the spiraling end stage of capitalism.
@Tattie @Remittancegirl More than that: the tech development boom triggered by Moore's Law had an inevitable end-point from the beginning, dictated by the physics of very small objects, and semiconductors have been bumping up against it for a decade now. The pace at which chip node sizes shrinks has slowed and we're seeing slow incremental gains, not performance doubling every 2 years.
That *alone* accounted for the long boom in electronics from the 1970s to the 2010s.
And it's over for good.
Has anyone set up SSO for self-hosted stuff? If yes, how? I'm currently wondering if it's worth the effort.
Personally I just use a password manager, which is effectively SSO for my purposes; one login gets me passwords to all services, both mine and self-hosted. I can see why SSO might be attractive, though, especially if you're wanting to share the things you host with friends/family.
@amin So do I but I still feel like it would be convenient. And yes, the family thing is there, too.
@thedoctor I'm wondering the same. It looks like an interesting project to set up, but I just have all my credentials saved in a password manager anyway and allow cookies for all my privately hosted services.
It might make sense if I had multiple people using a bunch of my services, but my family mostly sticks to Jellyfin and Nextcloud and everything else is pretty much just for me alone.
@thedoctor i have.
I settled on pocket-id and use that.
It's rather nice, but only really supports passkeys
Wanting to explore a #philosophical question in the form of a #ShortStory and #poll:
You're in an estate sale, rummaging around for something you can use in an upcoming hobby project when you come across a heavily patinaed old brass lamp. Wanting to get some sense of its quality, you pick it up and begin rubbing the side of the lamp with your sleeve.
Just then, some kind of smoke begins billowing out of the end of the lamp, and a fog fills the room. Stunned, you look around you and then see the imposing figure of a man in middle-eastern garb and a large headdress suddenly standing before you.
"A GENIE!!" you cry in astonishment.
"That's kinda racist, fam," the not-genie replies. "I'm a djinn, actually, and I'm not going to grant you three wishes."
"You're... not?"
"Nope! But since you did release me from my prison, I have a proposition for you. If you permanently release me, I will give you moderate riches. I will give you the equivalent of 10 times the average yearly salary for someone in the country in which you reside, and you will be untouched by disease, famine, violence, or bonds of any sort. But, since I live forever in my ethereal plane, you will live forever. Everyone around you will age normally and die eventually, but you will retain your health and youth forever. And by forever, I mean forever. Cataclysmic, world-ending events like very late stage climate change, meteor bombardment, the end of your star's life-cycle, or even the heat death of the universe will only reset your timeline to today, after our conversation. Upon the reset, you will continue with the memories of all past timelines, but be able to do things differently, if you like."
"So, you can learn a new language, ten languages, all languages. You never have to work again, or you can study for that job you always wanted. You can better yourself and become a timeless renaissance person, or sit for eternity on your couch, watching telly and eating crisps. But you will be eternal."
"What'll it be?"
(I will attempt to answer any questions you might have for the djinn.)

@rl_dane I am convinced that eternal life as described here is utterly soul-crushing and I don't believe for a minute that anyone would actually enjoy it.
That's the question I'm exploring. :)
@rl_dane Good luck. I find the prospect incredibly scary.
I would hate for it to end up like a Black Mirror - White Christmas situation though!
@rl_dane One lifetime is already too much tbh
Even if you never had to work, had access to all kinds of resources, and could use 100% of your time to better yourself and those around you?
@rl_dane Yeah, I really generally don't enjoy life, or view it as a particularly positive thing
This is modifiable.
@rl_dane Is it?
Yes, it is. Or at least, your attitude and perspective is. And that's what is triggering your antipathy.
Life is what it is, good or bad. But our reaction to it and framing of it is what makes for our joy and misery.
@rl_dane I disagree; I think we are all slaves to circumstance.
I also believe people should give up way more than they do. Generations of suffering could finally be over in a single generation if people would just give up.
You see, the thing is, your mentality only reinforces that. Someone with a different mentality sees lots of options.
A negative mindset continually justifies itself and reinforces itself. You'll always think you're right, because there is no way to prove you're right or wrong.
It's a self-defeating solipsism. At least a douchebag like Musk has fun in his worthless solipsism.
I might be happier if I had a more hopeful outlook on the world. But that wouldn't change the fact that the world is, on the whole, an _awful_ place that is full of continual suffering.
It is. It's probably worse than you think.
But if your mentality prevents you from making your teensy corner of it one one-millionth of a percent better, why are you wasting your life on that kind of mentality?
@rl_dane For the same reason that I think generational suffering would end in a single generation if people just gave up.
Wasting _my_ life is better than wasting the lives of every every generation to come after me
Well, for the sake of argument, let's just assume you don't have kids. That makes weighing the value propositions easier.
Your choices are between brooding in your home, thinking that life is pointless, a waste, something foisted upon you unwillingly, --or-- not brooding, thinking whatever you want to think, but looking for ways you can reach out to others and make their day a little bit better, even if just a teensy little bit.
@rl_dane You know, I'm really not a people person. I don't really like people, on a general level. If I didn't like kids and computers, I'd really have nothing to talk to anyone about. And I really wouldn't relate to anyone else. Talking to people online is nice sometimes, but I really don't like irl interaction. I'm not a humanitarian. I just hate suffering.
But if you hate suffering, it behooves you to alleviate it!
@rl_dane If I go out and start interacting with people, I suspect I'll find I actually hate *people* _more_
@rl_dane (I'm _really_ not a nice person, btw)
That is absolutely not an intrinsic property.
That is perspective, priority, attitude, and outlook.
I don't think niceness is intrinsic. I think it's learned. You may have more or less of an intrinsic desire to display kindness, or to listen well, or things like that, but I don't see niceness itself as intrinsic.
And those with less of an intrinsic desire to display those beneficial traits can still learn to display them more. Just as those with more of those intrinsic traits often need to learn how and when to display them less.
Meh, the world is great.
@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane yep!
It's pretty damn good, some flaws, the devs seem to be issuing some good patches based on the changelogs of the last few thousand years, 8.5/10 stars
_glances at last year or so of world history_
I think that's a pretty american-centric perspective tbh ;)
Have you seen how many corrupt institutions have been overthrown in the last year? 😅
And hell, it looks like the freedom of persia is next in line :)
Frankly, if it actually gets to the point of iran being free, that outweighs probably everything the us has done combined

Mm.
All software has bugs. What matters most to me is the long-term trend, which seems to be clearly positive to me; much, much fewer bugs than the Millenium Edition ;)
I think your htop might have the wrong columns selected. ;)
Forgive me for being the worst-read person with a degree in Literature. XD
What's it about?? ;)
Long story short, this utopia is built on the continual suffering of one person.
iirc like there's one terrified child locked in a closet, and everyone gets to be happy because that one child suffers. So you can stay in Omelas, knowing your happiness relies on another's suffering, or you can leave, to the unknown outside, from where no one returns.
Woof, like #Kierkegaard's poet. That's rough.
But you being miserable doesn't make anyone else not-miserable. That's where the analogy falls down!
@rl_dane I voted B because it is closest to the Christian perspective of going to Heaven :)
But if option B actually means ceasing to exist, then definitely option A.
Continuing your life as-is is the closest to the Christian view of heaven? I mean, I guess, as it's life, un-modified.
But the impetus behind the question is whether or not an eternal existence could have meaning.
I gather that many people believe that it cannot.
I don't think I agree with that. I think as long as you have an unlimited ability to grow and learn, and as long as there are always people to help and serve, then eternity would not be boring.
@rl_dane This is a really interesting question. Actually, there is only one reason I can imagine why people would want an eternal life: Because the human mind cannot fully grasp the concept of eternity (or infinity in general). Whenever we think of something infinite, we imagine something incredibly large, because this is the best we can come up with in order to imagine infinity - the best approximation of infinity our mind is capable of conceiving. However, the difference between something incredibly large and infinity is, well, infinite. A life which lasts for a billion years is still infinitely shorter than eternal life.
Honestly, if I did believe in hell, eternal life would be some kind of it in my opinion - no matter how "pleasant" that life may be.
As I wrote at the beginning, though, this is indeed a really interesting question, and there are many more facettes of it to explore...
To me, the problem with a life that ends is that there is a definite point in time in which it must needs end.
And that point is never pleasant, unless existence itself is painful.
While theoretically finite life is more pleasant a concept than theoretically infinite life, the reality of the finite coming to a close is not pleasant at all.
@rl_dane Facing the finiteness of our existence is undoubtedly one of the great challenges of life. Yet, while I would certainly wish to have much more time on this earth than I will have - no matter how old I get -, the thought of an eternal, everlasting, neverending life makes me tremble.
But, as I have said before, this is a really interesting question to think about, with many aspects.
I think coming at it from a somewhat typical Christian viewpoint that there will always be new things to discover and create in eternity makes it a far more pleasant concept than an eternal existence bound to finiteness and frailty, or especially futility.
Those are the things that make life the least enjoyable.

Prayer for Uninteresting Times
Send me a slow news day,
a quiet, subdued day,
in which nothing much happens of note,
save for the passing of time,
the consumption of wine,
and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote.
Grant me a no news day,
a spare-me-your-views day,
in which nothing much happens at all,
except a few hours together
some regional weather,
a day we can barely recall.
Brian Bilston
Fascinating idea. Not to say riveting, gripping, compelling, spellbinding, captivating, engaging, enthralling, entrancing, beguiling, appealing, attractive, stimulating, thought-provoking, diverting, exciting, intriguing, and even unputdownable.
@brianbilston "I love it when nothing happens and people dont do anything at all"
says @swampgas
still my favourite saying of the year
@brianbilston I love it. Just the simple creation and the clear picture of a day like that I'm looking forward to hopefully soon. Take care
@brianbilston I'm not sure if anyone already mentioned it here, but we had a day like that in the 1900s where absolutely nothing happened. It was April 11th, 1954.
@chandlerkyle93 I’ve heard about that. What a time to be alive!
@brianbilston This is so excellent. I visited my mother recently, and we kept the cable news off for the entire multi-week visit. It was like old times, when the news was only half an hour after dinner.
Nonce is UK slang for pedo.
Sorry, Susan, for such a horrible insult, you do not deserve it.
A few days ago, a client’s data center (well, actually a server room) "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G.
I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an alert.
The office was closed for the holidays, but I contacted the IT manager anyway. He was home sick with a serious family issue, but he got moving.
To make a long story short: the company deals in gold and precious metals. They have an underground bunker with two-meter thick walls. They were targeted by a professional gang. They used a tactic seen in similar hits: they identify the main power line, tamper with it at night, and send a massive voltage spike through it.
The goal is to fry all alarm and surveillance systems. Even if battery-backed, they rarely survive a surge like that. Thieves count on the fact that during holidays, owners are away and fried systems can't send alerts. Monitoring companies often have reduced staff and might not notice the "silence" immediately.
That is exactly what happened here. But there is a "but": they didn't account for my Uptime Kuma instance monitoring their MikroTik router, installed just weeks ago. Since it is an external check, it flagged the lack of response from all IPs without needing an internal alert to be triggered from the inside.
The team rushed to the site and found the mess. Luckily, they found an emergency electrical crew to bypass the damage and restore the cameras and alarms. They swapped the fried server UPS with a spare and everything came back up.
The police warned that the chances of the crew returning the next night to "finish" the job were high, though seeing the systems back online would likely make them move on. They also warned that thieves sometimes break in just to destroy servers to wipe any video evidence.
Nothing happened in the end. But in the meantime, I had to sync all their data off-site (thankfully they have dual 1Gbps FTTH), set up an emergency cluster, and ensure everything was redundant.
Never rely only on internal monitoring. Never.

@stefano Oh, if genre is horror, then don’t forget to tell the tale of the guy who pronounced “Microsoft” 3 times before his mirror. What happened next, the blue mirror of death, is frightening to the bones.
I am quite keen to look into Uptime Kuma. Our current monitor is antiquated.

@Dianora @mwl @EnigmaRotor @stefano try Gelato, just sayin'
@Keltounet @mwl @EnigmaRotor @stefano Grand Marnier Gelato!
@Dianora @Keltounet @mwl @EnigmaRotor ok, that's settled - Grand Marnier Gelato in Ottawa, in June 😉
@stefano @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl I’ll virtually enjoy from remote… (well, no, but that’s for another conf a bit closer from home, someday). (I don’t think gelato payloads can make it to my computer, probably due to firewalls, would they?).
@stefano @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl I might as well purchase vanilla icecream and put a large amount of Grand Marnier on it. Call it emulation of some sort , and try to synchronize with you folks. Well, timezones would make this fun, indeed.
@EnigmaRotor @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl that should work 🙂
@stefano @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl You know the trade offs of emulation, this could lead to a suboptimal experience… thus I might get rid of the icecream and focus on the bottle. (From simplicity comes user satisfaction)
@stefano @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl Then I might loose control and replace the bottle with génépi, which would further deviate from the original gelato product but amplify even user satisfaction to a whole new level. #outofcontrol #emergencyStop #forgetPreviousPrompt

@_elena@mastodon.social When you direct the movie, can I star as the legendary @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe ?
@stefano that advice also applies to monitoring scheduled backup jobs (or any other automated process). I use a service that emails me if I don't hit a specific URL roughly every 24 hours, and I hit that at the end of my backup job if it was successful.
Better than finding out the hard way at some point in the future that something happened with my backup job, preventing it from running for the last month.
@stefano That’s a rather cool war story. Great for a lecture.
You are the hero I aspire to be!
@stux thank you! Yes, that's a very wise approach. I have some internal and external monitoring tools. And the monitoring tools monitoring the monitoring tools, with different technologies (so a bug won't hit all the tools at the same time). Yet, I always feel I need moooarrr monitoring 🙂
@stefano About 15 years ago, the place I worked had a supercomputer. One night, the aircon in the machine room failed. The machine kept computing, and the temperature rose. It rose *quite a lot*.
Sadly, the first thing to fail from the heat was the core switch for the room. You know, the one that handles all of the network for everything in the room. Including the temperature alerts.
It was finally spotted about 8am when the security patrol wondered why the door shutters were so hot.
@darkling nice story! Unfortunately I had to manage something like that, too (A/C broken - switch dead, etc)
@stefano Fortunately, the only thing that did fail after the aircon was the switch. (And a pair of ear muffs which had been hanging on a metal rail -- they'd melted).
The fire brigade turned up, checked everything, and ran some big positive pressure fans to get airflow through the room from one door to the other to cool everything down.
@stefano 10+ years ago i started volunteering at a festival. Everything was new that year including the small outdoor racks for the area field routers (Juniper MX80). They barely fit but we managed. The racks were left in the sun in the summer. It was only when we enabled Observium (LibreNMS predecessor) that graphs almost everything it gets from SNMP that we discovered the inlet temperature was getting close to 80 degrees C. #monitorallthethings
@lasseleegaard true. I'm using my switch's fan speed to understand if my home office room is too warm
@stefano There was an attack a few years back near here where they dropped burning rubbish into manholes around a a data centre; the theory at the time was it was to try and cut off some CCTV or alarm monitoring for something. Well caught!
@stefano Cool story bro, but it's too fictional, I'd say.
First off, as a Ukrainian, I know that powerlines can survive "the spikes" by just cutting the power at the very input. No damage to equipment behind the input electric circuit breaker, nope. You just get damaged input.
Next, I used to work in a bank. And here we had a clear requirement for data storage center: more than one power input -- is a must.
@stefano
Third, given it's a data center, power consumption is probably tens of KW. The "gang" could probably be killed in action playing with it.
Fourth, if there is a power spike and cut off, it won't go unnoticed by those who control power lines. They will be the first on site to see what happened.
@fisher It's not a bank, and it's definitely not a top-tier data center. It's just a trading company in a typical industrial area in Northern Italy, with fewer than 50 employees. They've only got four aging servers in a rack. Facilities like this don't need bank-grade security or the kind of resilience you'd find in a war zone. I wish it were fictional! 😃
@stefano This immediately brought to mind coming into the office after a holiday weekend in 2005 and finding “my” computer room dark. I found our infrastructure manager, who told me that they had an unexpected power outage over the weekend. Confused, I said “But how is that possible? We have multiple feeds and a huge uninterruptible power supply!”
I will never forget his response, delivered in his thick Scottish brogue: “Yes, we do. But it doesn’t do much good when the UPS catches fire.” 😳
@thegaffer @stefano That reminds me of an incident that happened at work. We have multiple sources of electricity and generators, but none of that matters if the room with the UPS and power controller where all the power sources meet floods from an overflowing toilet a floor above 🙃😅
Whoopsie daisy!
I just finished bypassing all the network switches in the closets from that circuit when they managed to bypass it and catastrophe averted.
That was a fun night! /s
@pedro if the two FTTH providers are down, the router will use the failover 4g connection to reach my VPN (and alert me).
@stefano that's impressive. meanwhile I accidentally stumbled on your website:
You have shared many useful items in a thoughtful way. I appreciate it, and am glad to let you know. 😀
@stefano Thanks for all the info about the company's internal setup.
@stefano The true horror part of this story:
> The office was closed for the holidays, but I contacted the IT manager anyway. He was home sick with a serious family issue, but he got moving.
Home for the holidays, sick, serious family issue?? Who cares! You know what's more important?? Keeping that data center up and running!
Glory to sacrificing yourself for the system!!
Or maybe get someone else next time.
@danvolchek to be honest, I offered him to rush there. But he refused and decided to go (he wasn't far from there)
@stefano AFAIK, professional alarm systems should function based on the principle that "if it doesn't send periodic alerts saying that everything is ok, and there's no scheduled downtime, then something clearly isn't ok, and somebody needs to be send to investigate it asap."
Great example of why both matter.
@lorenzo @stefano
I think Stefano, the mild mannered barista of the BSD Cafe who posts pictures of sunsets and from his walks in nature is just a cover, and in reality he is a tough-as-nails secret military agent who's chasing cybercriminals around the globe.
See also his comment to my blog post about "just telling people to call the Barista" to make them crap their pants... this Barista has a secret! 🕵️
@stefano I must repeat this Never trust in onsite backups either. Fire will destroy those. And RAID is not backup.
You know this but it bears repeating!
@stefano
even my new home alarm is coupled with a external monitoring alarm center that recognize tampering/sabotage jn addition to the "normal" alarms based on sensors etc. it costs a yearly subscription, but having a break in in the past, we considered it worthwile when we renovated our home.
@stefano
I just want to say, this is one of those long, esoteric, fascinating, entertaining threads like you used to see on Reddit, and it's great to see here on the Fedi, minus all the Reddit bullshit. Good job everyone!
@stefano I wasn't aware of this kind of problems with internal monitoring and the importance of external monitoring. However, I think is more important to monitor the monitoring server or to have one heartbeat of the monitoring system (external or internal). Because the external monitoring system could also fail without being aware of it.
@stefano hi, why havent you posted this into a common blog post?
@tkr I will - but it's too fresh and still not totally over. When I'll have all the final details, this will be a blog post
@stefano Good for you. If next time, you could solve your problems without involving people who are sick at home with a serious family issue on top, that would be great.
@fennek Calling these 'my' problems is inaccurate; I am simply providing services to this company and I have no formal contract or obligation regarding this specific issue. I could have easily ignored the alert, especially since I wasn't aware the person in charge was out sick. Despite this, I offered to step in and handle it myself - even though it’s hours away - to help out and allow them to stay home.
@paul @fennek I am familiar with that organization - and I know that the person (the one who was home sick, even if I didn't know he was home sick) has a deep sense of loyalty, but he is not reckless. If he hadn't been well enough, he wouldn't have gone. I even offered to go in his place myself. It is a healthy environment, not "that typical company" that exploits its employees. For obvious reasons, I cannot disclose details (and I work with several similar companies in different areas), but I can guarantee that everyone acted with the utmost respect for human decency. Fortunately, not all businesses operate like malicious entities that only think about harming their employees and collaborators.
I always strive to distance myself from such organizations, as they do not align with my outlook on life and the world.
Damn you Stefano.
You just spoiled a future Netflix movie.
Instead of watching in 2027 : `The Power Surge Heist`... we will have `The Uptime` with Stefano as sysadmin.
Following you so i can keep up with all the movies i will be missing.
@stefano I'm upset this didn't turn into a story of how the police laid a trap.
Uptime Kuma is dope tho.
@stefano WTF equipment do they use for that, that normal Type 1+2 Overvoltage Protection (what I assume given for installations like this) don't help?
According to Newsnight, the UK government say they can't block X—despite the deepfake CSAM—because people could evade such a ban using VPNs.
But the #OnlineSafetyAct is working just fine even though people can use VPNs to avoid having to upload photos of their passport (etc.) to some shady unregulated age verification company.
The UK government's internet policies are totally rational and coherent. Nothing to see here. Please don't ask us any more annoying critical questions.
Periodic reminder to boost the posts you like to keep the Fediverse alive.

@Em0nM4stodon
I'm not funny enough to dare boost my own posts, so... Maybe a failed humor button?
If the UK government feel they can't block the deepfake CSAM site formerly known as twitter because users can just evade with a VPN, that kind of blows apart ofcom's wider enforcement, surely?
I don't see how they can justify blocking /some/ websites which have that content and aren't taking steps to prevent it, and not others. And it probably goes without saying, but they sure as shit shouldn't be USING such websites
One of the things that makes this a particularly bad look for the UK Gov is that one of the main arguments for staying on Twitter is to keep informed, since a lot of official accounts are still there. In some cases it's the only place they are, unless you want to and have the time to go looking at individual sites for updates/news.
At this point they're creating arguments for users staying on a site that appears to be failing in its safety obligations.
Firefox uses on-device downloaded-on-demand ML models for privacy-preserving translation.
They're not LLMs. They're trained on open data.
Should translation be disabled if the AI 'kill switch' is active?
| Yes: | 65 |
| Yes, but let me re-enable just translations: | 248 |
| No: | 149 |
| 🤷: | 21 |
@firefoxwebdevs also, I just gotta ask: was the prompt for this quiz “hey ChatGPT come up with an ai use case that’ll stump the haters! do not hallucinate do not use emojis” or did this ooze out of your human brain after the LLM psychosis fried it?
@zzt I posted this poll after a meeting where we discussed the design of the kill switch, and there was uncertainty around translations. I want to make sure the community's voice is represented in these discussions.
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt
" I want to make sure the community's voice is represented in these discussions."
Then KILL ALL The stupid non-browser functions.
Remove ALL AI code.
Make Firefox work.
Fix printing,
Make it follow system GUI / theme.
Stop copying Chrome or Wiindows.
@firefoxwebdevs jonah, I hate to break it to you and the LLM shaped like a product manager that’s setting the agenda for your meetings, but the only time I hear about Firefox translations in any context is when Mozilla PMs try to hold it up as an example of an ethical, low-resource, useful AI feature so they can convince to be a fan of the worthless LLM shit they’re actually there to push
the reason why I don’t hear about translations otherwise is simple: it’s shit
@firefoxwebdevs neither translations nor any LLM feature have any business being built into Firefox. they should all be add-ons, at best. preferably add-ons developed by any other company than Mozilla. nobody wanted their donations to go to this crap.
like with translations, anyone who feels like they need LLM horseshit in their browser is very likely already using an implementation other than the one built into Firefox.
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs Why would Mozilla translations be built into the browser but other developers have to make them as add-ons? Or will Mozilla accept PRs for third-party translators to be built into the Firefox browser?
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs please don't call it the "design" of the kill switch when you have to ask *us* what it should kill—as some kind of transparency/openness posturing.
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs You'd never have to say "consent", "opt in", "opt out", or "kill switch" again if you put design energy into overcoming whatever (WHATEVER) barriers are preventing all of these things being add-ons.
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs there are plenty of users who want to translate stuff in browsers, I am one. To me it seems super reasonable for a product rendering content to also offer translation of it.
fyi you're coming across as very cynical (and I say that as someone who's pretty cynical towards AI hype and the current tech industry myself… I *get* it…)
@hdv @firefoxwebdevs thanks for telling me about some software you use and then insulting me!
@zzt @hdv@front-end.social @firefoxwebdevs god forbid someone talk about a technology from an industry of liars, responding to a survey from an organisation that's already lying to its users, with a survey carefully missing the option the majority of respondents actually want (make it an extension), and come across as *cynical*
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs I've used it numerous times this week and it looks good to me.
@tasket @firefoxwebdevs holy shit Josh you’ve done it you’ve found the user!
quick ask them if the LLM kill switch should also turn off manifest v2 they might go for it
@zzt That would be funny.
But look at the Firefox forks... some had to bring back translation after (mistakenly) disabling it. I don't think any of the local ML API should be suppressed. The discussion should be about shoving LLMs into places where they don't belong.
@tasket if you want a serious discussion about the role translations should or shouldn’t have in a browser, let me refer you to steve: https://hci.social/@fasterandworse/115849566354469222
I don’t really feel anything about the translations feature other than disappointment, a bit of concern over how the data was sourced, and a strong feeling that it shouldn’t be a core browser feature
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs OK, now make the same argument for the spell-checker, sync, and the set of CAs, etc. etc. supplied with the browser. Its as if y'all were trained by Microsoft PR to take the arguments Mozilla used against tying IE to Windows and extend them ad-absurd-um to features in Mozilla's own browser ("just turn it around back in their faces" said the Armani suit).
Meanwhile, Red Hat is quietly undermining any legal basis for copyleft and leaning into the idea that gratis products (Fedora) shouldn't have robust & transparent system update tools. Oh and the umpteen other for-profit controlled (opposite of Mozilla) FOSS projects that get plugged in these spaces pretty much constantly. Linux Foundation being controlled by Microsoft and Google...? crickets chirping.
This is what makes me tired of IT and geek culture. Its become like everything else, just kneejerk crap with zero reflection and sense of proportion. As I hinted above, it morphs into this shadow of corporate PR. Consider, if people spent their time criticizing actual badness in Firefox, like ad tracking and DoH, that would be inconvenient for certain interests from Brave on up to Apple and Google. I think the style and quality of venting we usually see about Mozilla serves those interests, much of it probably fed by sock puppets.
@firefoxwebdevs an important addendum regarding Firefox translate: by my math (N = my replies), 25% of its users are fucking unhinged
I told them not to use the necronomicon to train the base model but here we fucking are
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs i'll have you know i'm at least 75%* hinged
* vibe estimate, but we carefully graphed it so it's data now
@davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs I know you, you’ve read much worse things than the necronomicon
you’ve written wiki articles about most of them
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt This doesn't feel honest. Maybe from you personally, sure. But not from Mozilla or the Firefox team.
That is like, I decide the car you get. The brand, the model, the color. But hey, don't worry, your voice is important too, so you are allowed to decide what bumper-sticker I will put on your car.
Seriously, this fake inclusion is kinda insulting.
Again, nothing personal against you. But where else should I share my opinion, consider Mozilla even ignores its own feedback platform 🤷

@liquor_american @pixel @firefoxwebdevs I suspect the only feedback that’ll get relayed is the feedback from the posters who still kneejerk defend Mozilla as an institution. the rest of us are just too rude to be counted as part of the community (because we use and care deeply about Firefox and hate the entirely avoidable path it’s gone down)

@zzt @pixel @firefoxwebdevs "Nobody likes our product any longer, but at least we never had to entertain any *shudder* critical feedback."
@liquor_american @zzt @pixel @firefoxwebdevs As the only remaining cross-platform browser that is not chromium, Mozilla deserves nothing but pressure to do better. Defending Mozilla about anything other than making Gecko better is giving them permission to eventually be just another chromium skin
> I want to make sure the community's voice is represented in these discussions.
if that were true, the poll would have had a "remove all LLM functionality" option.
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt How about making a poll "Should Firefox include AI/LLM by default?"
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt You ignored the firefox userbase's voice when it came to adding AI in the first place, don't pretend you're listening now when you're really just trying to get the users to come up with justifications for what you have already decided to do. Firefox users have repeatedly said we do not want AI features imstalled by default, you chose not to listen and now you're trying to find ways you can feel less bad about that by pretending you gave people options when it comes to AI usage, rather than taking one away.
If you cared about what 'the community' wants, you would have asked people when the AI notion was first pitched and taken no for an answer, but yet again, AI enthusiasts have acted without consent.
@Rycochet @firefoxwebdevs @zzt I did not follow all what happened around Firefox and the community. Did Mozilla made a public consultation regarding AI integration in Firefox ?
Do we have some reliable datas about the opinion of the Firefox's users ?
I would be interested to know if the critical views (that I mostly share) expressed here are largely shared or not.
@fmasy @Rycochet @firefoxwebdevs @zzt You can look at the discussions on Mozilla Connect if you want commentary from community members.
Mozilla does occasionally run surveys, but results are never public.
@firefoxwebdevs @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt a self-selecting survey with push-poll questions that deliberately leave out the "no LLMs in Firefox" option is unlikely to be statistically valid
(also we know this is just noise and Mozilla will do whatever was planned in the meeting anyway)
@davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt I realise your position is immutable, but I've already used the results of this survey to push for a change to the design of the kill switch. I'm grateful to everyone who responded.
@firefoxwebdevs @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet is the change to the design of the kill switch that it doesn’t exist because all of Firefox’s AI features will be moved into add-ons that aren’t installed by default?
if not, you’ve used the results of the poll to misrepresent community opinion and @davidgerard’s quote unquote “immutable position”, whatever that means to people who don’t speak passive aggressive post-it note, is absolutely correct
@zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard My interpretation of the poll results is that the vast majority of people feel that the translation engine should be disabled as part of an AI kill switch, but there should be a way to re-enable the translation engine whilst leaving the kill switch otherwise active.
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet you've had multiple people call out the missing options in the poll, please don't pretend this wasn't a slanted promotional survey
if you claim this statistically bogus poll represents the will of the users, you are lying and you know you're lying
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard you do realise that social media polls should not be used as an input for any serious actions because they're inherently flawed, yes?
@davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet fwiw i'm still waiting for the dude to tell me why should i start trusting mozilla to do the right thing now.
@firefoxwebdevs @mawhrin @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard
Voting in that poll legitimises a kill switch as a viable solution. Hence the flood of responses from people who don't want to say "yes" or "no" about how a thing they don't want works.
@firefoxwebdevs @mawhrin @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard Since you have not provided options for the opinion that people will have here, and included one for 🤦 the results can not be correct..
@firefoxwebdevs @mawhrin @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard
You ignored the real question to comment on something inconsequenctial, this is a well known propaganda and domination technique, answer the question I asked instead....
@firefoxwebdevs @mawhrin @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard
Well, yes, the poll output is inaccurate.
There was no „Dont put any AI in Firefox“ or „Make AI an Add-On only“ option. You’re framing of the poll presupposes there being AI in the product, implying an incorrect necessity.
Why are you ruining this browser with this crap?
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard the poll was misleading and i am sure i am not the only one who voted to re-enable the translation because it wasn't fully clear what that meant. if i could revoke my vote i would.
@angelfeast @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @davidgerard as in, you don't think there should be an option to re-enable it, or that it should be enabled by default?
@firefoxwebdevs @angelfeast @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet
failure to address this bit:
> the poll was misleading
@davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs @zzt @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet yeah i would like to see some acknowledgement that the language was misleading.
@angelfeast it's not clear to me how the language was misleading. I clearly stated that the translation feature exists, and asked what should happen with it.
However, 'it should be disabled by the kill switch' is still the winner in the poll, so it seems like your view is well represented, no?
@firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard "trained on open data" what kind of open data? and why does this need to be in the browser in the first place instead of being an extension?
your last sentence feels condescending. "it should be disabled" is not the winner, "it should be disabled with the option of enabling" is the winner. why wasn't there an option for "make firefox's machine translation an extension instead"?
if you think i am misunderstanding, consider that i am a very average user of firefox who does not work in anything remotely resembling tech and if you feel like i don't understand something then that means either you are doing a shit job explaining or you are being stubborn and do not want to accept that even average users don't want this forced on them. or both.

@firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt
I didn’t see the poll before this post, but my number one request to Mozilla remains the same:
Stop using the term ‘AI’ anywhere.
It is a meaningless marketing term pushed by the worst parts of the tech industry. Don’t use a catch all for a bunch of unrelated things, name them individually and explain to users why they should care (if you can’t, don’t ship them at all). And make all of them off by default.
Feel free to pop up a dialog saying ‘This page is in a language that you haven’t said you speak, Firefox has optional on-device translation models trained ethically (see here for more information)k would you like to install them? (If you decide not to, you can change this decision later in settings) [ Never install translation models ] [ Never install translation models for this language ] [ Install translation model for this language ] [ Automatically install translation models for any language ]’.
Similarly, if a user hovers over an image with no alt text, feel free to pop up a dialog saying ‘This image has no text description. Firefox has an on-device image-recognition model that is ethically trained (see here for more information) that can attempt to provide one automatically. Would you like to install it? If you do not, you can later install it from settings. [ Do not install image-recognition model ] [ Install image-recognition model ]’.
And, in both of these cases, pop up that dialog at most once.
See how neither of these needed to say ‘AI’? Because they were explaining what the model did and why. This is how you communicate with users if you care about users more than you care about investors and hype trains.
@david_chisnall @davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt I agree that the term 'AI' is kinda meaningless, and it results in the ambiguities mentioned in the poll. However, people are asking for 'no AI' or a way to disable 'AI'. Even tech folks.
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) » 🌐
@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange
@firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt
Which is happening because you are shipping feature that you call AI and your new CEO has called Firefox an ‘AI first browser’, because he is completely and totally unqualified for his job.
Stop doing that. And then you can have a useful discussion about any ML models that you are shipping (which, I agree, should be plugins, but so should a lot of things Firefox bundles).
@david_chisnall @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt
May I repeat David's (and other's) point, and politely request a response: what is the thinking behind this being on-by-default?
If it were off-by-default you'd have an easy argument to fend off the majority of criticism. If Mozilla management and devs sincerely think this is the future of browsers, add it in in all the ways you think it might be useful, but have it all off and very easily addable (as David outlined).
If it is really useful to people, users will be clamouring for it, and you can go from there.
I can think of no way it could make sense to have it on-by-default, unless you count the fact that in that scenario lots of less technical people will then simply put up with it, and be added to the stats of "AI users" on Firefox.
Am I missing something? How does it being on-by-default serve anyone, and in what specific ways does it serve them?
@firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt So you are pushing for only adding LLM stuff as addons then?...
@firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt
I'm not sure an official firefox account is allowed to make passive-aggressive snipes about "immutable positions", especially when it comes to AI.
@TheEntity @firefoxwebdevs @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt yeah this accusation turned out to be a confession, when he admitted the "don't include it" option wasn't in because AI was his immutable position
@davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt
Also that reply's worth reading very carefully.
You said we all know this is noise and Mozilla will do whatever.
His reply was he's using the results "to push for a change". Not that said change will actually happen.
So nothing you said was ruled out or denied.
@TheEntity @firefoxwebdevs @yoasif @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt given the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, and mozilla's spent the past year racking up some doozies, let's say i'm not sanguine
@firefoxwebdevs @fmasy @Rycochet @zzt I was talking about the surveys pushed within Firefox: https://www.askvg.com/tip-disable-surveys-rate-your-experience-out-of-date-notifications-in-firefox/
@firefoxwebdevs @zzt The community's voice is clear, WE DON'T WANT AI IN OUR BROWSER, if you must waste efforts on the clunkers make it an extension that the interested users can download...
@firefoxwebdevs Perhaps it would be a good idea to do occasional one-time surveys of Firefox users - like when they start the browser up after an update. That way you get to hear directly from the people who are using it. Lots of folk on the socials have strong opinions but aren't necessarily using FF as a daily driver.
If I was writing the questions they might include things like...
On that last one, I would maybe have some check boxes for things that tend to come up again and again like native RSS reader, FTP, Gemini (protocol!), WebUSB, WebSerial, UXP etc.
@m I agree the folks I'm polling here do not represent the average user, but in this case I'm specifically interested in the thoughts of those who really dislike 'AI', and I think I've reached them 😀
@firefoxwebdevs @m So you decided from the discussions last time that you didn't want opt in at all, like microsoft renaming office to "copilot app" this is nothing but doing a 3 card monty to try and fool people into validating your fractally wrong interpretation of what "opt in" is.
@firefoxwebdevs the translation model should replace all the words on the page with this badge
@firefoxwebdevs AI should be an extension. Then it doesn't matter and everyone is happy. It's such a very odd hill to die on when the solution is an extension.
@firefoxwebdevs this is my issue with calling everything “AI”.
I’m happy (dependent, even!) on local ML-powered computational photography eking out great shots from a tiny camera. But I don’t want my camera completely inventing details with generative AI when I zoom in.
I’m happy for my phone to “know” what I am typing even if I didn’t hit the keys perfectly, based on federated learning. But I don’t want my phone to rephrase things with an LLM.
All of this is considered “AI” now. 🙃
@cassidy @firefoxwebdevs this is because it's an AI marketing lie. "ha, you say you hate slop, so does that mean you hate *xrays* now? Checkmate, AI hater!"
@cassidy @firefoxwebdevs The term "AI" has existed since 1956 so of course it's going to have a very broad definition.
Things don't just stop being "AI" when AI researchers invent newer "more AI" stuff.
@mage_of_dragons @cassidy @firefoxwebdevs We also know exactly what lies in store for the current slate of AI: 20 years of funding drought, just like all its ancestors
@firefoxwebdevs it would be nice if the "AI kill switch" had:
a list of each of the models used, what for, and whether they're trained on open data, each having a "disable this" switch
a thing right at the top of the list which says "I don't care, kill all this AI stuff"
but that would require putting a list of all the different things that Firefox is now using AI for and whether each is using fair models or not, which I suspect a lot of management won't want to document clearly to users
@sil @firefoxwebdevs I suspect they can't, even if they wanted to.
I think the challenge with everything going on here is one of clarity.
@sil, you are asking them about disclosure of models and sourcing. But that is far from the only AI that is in the system.
The tool that does grammar checking and language identification does not leverage an LLM, and while there may be some type of model underneath, the context is very different. Tools that detect spam pages or faulty JavaScript that locks the pages, that's another type of AI hard at work.
Is the browser allowed to support speech to text?
@jmax You're calling out that Firefox may not be able to do this, but I think that mischaracterizes the scope of what's happening here.
The browser has several types of non-deterministic, probabilistic tools in it that provide useful services. Now there's a backlash against one very specific version of those non-deterministic, probabilistic tools. But the backlash is vociferous, often unsolvable, and incredibly broad.
It's hard to engage with non-specific anger.
@gatesvp @firefoxwebdevs @sil @jmax this is the sort of obfuscatory claim I see from AI marketers. "You say you hate slop, so that means you must hate X-ray scanning! Checkmate, AI hater!" It's not convincing.
Let's assume you're correct.
People only care about AI slop.
Why is Firefox even running this survey? Like who cares? Translations aren't "AI slop", they don't need to be covered by the "AI Kill Switch"... why are they even asking this question?
Now take that assumption and read the rest of the comments. From what I'm reading, people care about more than just the AI slop. People are asking questions about the models being used for ML systems, systems that are incapable of generating AI slop.
So we're at a weird spot here. You believe that people care only about AI slop. Firefox obviously believes that people care about more than that, because they're running this survey. And people responding are asking questions that also indicate they care about more than AI slop.
So how do we square this?
What do you think is a better outcome for Firefox and the community?
Why is Firefox even running this survey?
Because the people in charge genuinely believe that AI slop is The Future™ and believe that, in order to stay relevant, Firefox must become an AI Browser™.
But somehow users inexplicably dislike AI slop?! How can this be?!
Embedding AI slop in Firefox as deeply and pervasively as possible is thus a critical goal. But this risks reputational damage with its actual users! To mitigate the risk, bundle features that were not controversial into the discussion of the controversial features; this serves to average the controversy across the (previously uncontroversial, existing) translation feature and highly controversial new slop features, hopefully reducing it below an ignorable threshold.
@davidgerard @RAOF If your core belief is that Mozilla is failing to serve at the benefit of its members, then what are you even doing on this thread? You just hoping to harass the Dev account until they block you out of spite?
What evidence could any of us provide that would change your mind and cause you to become a Mozilla booster instead?
@gatesvp @firefoxwebdevs @sil @jmax They could engage with the nonspecific anger by removing the VERY SPECIFIC technologies at issue
Instead they want to make us argue about "well, if we haul away the shit, do you want us to haul away the bark dust, too? Some people need bark dust, so you have to let us smear shit all over everything"
@firefoxwebdevs it would be compelling to hear someone at Mozilla recognise that you don't have this "kill switch" yet but you're already facing the problem of what to kill.
It would also be compelling to hear someone at Mozilla recognise that there is a browser and there are browser extensions and that "translation" has nothing to do with the operating system of a web browser.
@firefoxwebdevs It would also be compelling if a team at Mozilla were dedicated to building the best browser translation add-on on the market, for all browsers. To promote the power of add-ons and, at the same time, the Mozilla brand.
@firefoxwebdevs it would be compelling if the future of Firefox was to be the fastest, most secure, most efficient browser engine with the best add-on ecosystem.
It would also be compelling to hear someone from Mozilla talk about their design effort to improve add-on adoption rather than forcing add-on-level-functionality into the core product
@fasterandworse there are no such interfaces to intercept input boxes with extensions I guess. And also why should Firefox improve other browsers?
@eckes @fasterandworse To further the charitable mission, pretty obviously.
@firefoxwebdevs How are the models not LLMs, if they are trained on large datasets and generate text?
@Fnordinger https://www.neuralconcept.com/post/ml-vs-llm-key-differences-applications-engineering-impact seems like a good overview
@jaffathecake @Fnordinger that really reads like chatbot text. are you *sure* it is not?
@davidgerard @Fnordinger hah, I'm not sure. Do you know a better source? I just found one pretty quickly
@firefoxwebdevs What do you mean "open data"? https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/translations/resources/01_overview.html points to https://browser.mt/ points to https://paracrawl.eu/index.php which says "We do not own any of the text from which these data has been extracted."
@firefoxwebdevs I mean realistically, we have about:config at home, and y'all are already not respecting that
why the future "KILL SWITCH" carrot? it just comes across like a Musk promise
@firefoxwebdevs going through all the other replies and your lack of response to any of them..
“why are there flaming bags of poop on my porch, and why do they all have different postmarks”
@firefoxwebdevs Automatic translations are good and an internet in which people don't feel like they can't speak their native tongue for fear of losing their audience can only be a good thing.
Not sure how any reasonable person can believe that such a domain-specific model begets similar ethical objections as modern LLMs.
You know, folks don't hate AI because they're scared of neural networks...
@firefoxwebdevs Can you clarify the distinction you’re making between LLMs and open data? Was the latter collected with consent?
@knowler @firefoxwebdevs it absolutely was not! he means "open data" as in "we found it lying around, bugger the license" https://mas.to/@twifkak/115849848003348176
@firefoxwebdevs Poll is missing a radio button for "fuck you and the horse you rode in on"
George Liquor, American [Goddamn he/Goddamn him/Goddamn y'all] » 🌐
@liquor_american@universeodon.com
@firefoxwebdevs The translation feature was unnecessary to begin with. I suspect y'all know this.
@firefoxwebdevs "AI" isn't a real thing. When we use the word "AI", we (and you) mean something completely different from "Artificial Intelligence", basically referring to "things that we wouldn't have used machine learning for before 2018, because before 2018 we recognized it does not work for those purposes".
However, translation should still be a removable extension, for a variety of reasons, one being that the Simple Translate plugin is actually better than your builtin translation support.
@firefoxwebdevs As worded, and if we can trust Mozilla, then the acceptable answer should be No for these reasons: ML is not AI, and on-device means nothing is sent out of the device. In exchange you get free translation. Win.
BUT… there’s the trust issue now.
And what we REALLY need is not an AI kill switch but more of a “data transfer/phone-home kill switch”, almost like a firewall, where we know the browser is not taking any data and sending it to a device we don’t control ourselves.
@mdavis folks want to disable 'AI' for more reasons than privacy. Privacy is important of course, but folks are also concerned about the training data, and energy used for the training.
@firefoxwebdevs But if the ML/AI training work is processing on the device and not is shared off device, and it is in support of a feature like translating a page (which should be prompted/selectable) then what’s the issue? You can say no and nothing happens. Or you can say yes and the worse that happens is you chew up some local power on your laptop or PC. Or are you saying that even though the translation happens on the device, the RESULT of that training data is sent back out?
@mdavis I believe it's a moral stance due to how the models were produced.
@firefoxwebdevs Hookay… then this is less about a local feature or data sharing and more about an overall “Made with AI” concern where nothing related to AI *at*all*ever* taints the user’s browser, in or out. In that case, if the user turns on the AI kill switch, it should totally kill anything having to do with AI for those who take that position.
That’s an issue with these polls — too much undisclosed nuance to be able to answer properly.
@firefoxwebdevs But wait… what if the developers used AI to help develop the code in the browser itself? Does that mean AI kill switch purists should then rather not even use the product at all?
@mdavis it's definitely a complicated topic! I guess it's down to us to figure out a model that best serves most people, while providing options to cover the rest.
@firefoxwebdevs I don’t think you can make any assumptions then without granular switches that let the user control every facet. In which case, this kill switch is probably less a binary checkbox and more a slider or a series of discrete options. And as a Firefox and Thunderbird user, we are used to lots of toggles and switches under the hood, so I’m fine with that kind of control.
The Firefox AI "kill switch" is not "complicated" except insofar as it's incoherent. it's not "undisclosed nuance" except insofar as it's incoherent.
the "kill switch" doesn't exist.
this is important to keep in mind. once you remember that NONE OF THIS EXISTS, you will realise that every one of the dilemmas you posit is an imaginary problem that follows from incoherent postulates.
e.g. "AI kill switch purists" is not a coherent postulation because the "kill switch" does not exist.
the "kill switch" is a hypothetical proposed in this post:
https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/115740500373677782
the "kill switch" is a proposal to satisfy the demand for an opt-in by providing an opt-out. you might think that's a failure to respect the question, and you might even begin to suspect the proposal was in bad faith.
note that Jake, in presenting the kill switch and calling it a kill switch and getting it into all the papers as a kill switch, says he's uncomfortable with the name he's publicised it as. you might think that's oddly incompetent for literally a PR (devrel) person.
the concept as presented imposes multiple false dilemmas.
the LLM stuff should *incredibly obviously* be an extension. this is the purest possible opt-in, despite jake's past attempts to muddy the meaning of "opt-in".
making it an extension is also eminently feasible. There is literally no technical reason it needs to be a browser built-in.
this suggests the reasons are not in any way technical. some person with a name, who has yet to be named, dictated that it would be a built-in. so that's what Mozilla is going with.
why Mozilla went hard AI is entirely unclear. this would have been late 2024? we have no idea who was inspired with this bad idea nor why they were so incredibly keen to force it into the browser.
nor is it clear what Mozilla will do for external LLM services when the AI bubble runs out of venture capital and pops in a year or so, most of the chatbot APIs shut down and whatever remains is 10x the cost at least. but that's a problem for 2027's bonus, not 2026's.
note how the poll provides no option for "no LLM functions built-in to Firefox", in a pathetically transparent attempt to synthesize consent. jake wants to use this poll as evidence of what the user base wants, deliberately leaving out the option he knows directly a lot of them want.
and in conclusion:
1. solve the "kill switch" naming problem by branding it the "brutal and bloody robot murder switch with an option on the executives responsible".
2. make all this shit an extension like they should have a year ago.
3. and your little translator too.
@davidgerard @mdavis@mastodon.social @firefoxwebdevs “but wait just let me explain the AI kill switch”, Mozilla continues to insist, as they slowly expand and transform into an SBF
@zzt @firefoxwebdevs this would involve them one day standing before Congress and solemnly declaring "I fucked up", which is why we had to jail them first.
@zzt @davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs What Mozilla needs now is an "AI kill switch" that can actually kill.
@jwz @zzt @firefoxwebdevs we added an extension to send 440 volts through the other guy's chair
1M+ installs first week, 0 users remaining second week
@davidgerard @jwz @zzt @firefoxwebdevs
Finally, someone is getting rich and/or famous by stabbing people over the internet.
@zzt @davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs Mozilla spent 25 years being unable to get the "don't use tabs" preference to work and I'm supposed to believe their "turn off AI" preference will work?
@davidgerard @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs
In my admittedly limited experience with exceptionally dubious features that the users don't want, but the executives do, it's also not truly an 'AI kill switch' until it also fires the people responsible for putting 'AI' into the thing in the first place.
@theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs that's the other missing poll option, yes
@davidgerard @theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs "No AI, and Anthony Enzor-DeMeo resigns in disgrace."
@theorangetheme @theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs also the new AI CMO. also whichever person started this ball rolling and got Anthony in.
@davidgerard @theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs I fixed it.

@theorangetheme @davidgerard @theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs If Firefox isn't willing to cut out AI (fuck levers and knobs), then stop calling it Firefox.
Let the legacy of user trust and privacy end and stop lying to people. Mozilla is a company, the browser is a product, and you (Moz Org and Foundation) have no interest in consumer rights.
Mozilla's battlecry should be "Shut up, download the free browser, and let us watch everything you do." Because we're not your customers anymore. Stockholders and advertisers are.
Your next poll: How can (browser not Firefox) bring you ads and save you money when shopping?" That is what you want to ask, so do it.
@Tock @theorangetheme @theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs
countdown to:
1. more AI in Firefox
2. Mozilla drops Gecko in favour of Chromium
3. with all possibility of ad blocking disabled

@theorangetheme @davidgerard @theogrin @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs the whole c-level of mozilla looks sketchy af
thinking of it, firing every cis man and building up again from there wouldnt probably the worst move 🤷♀️
@davidgerard @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs where did I say I'm uncomfortable with the name "kill switch"?
@jaffathecake @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs in the quoted post included as the reference
@davidgerard @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs but I didn't say that. Get your words out of my mouth.
@jaffathecake @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs
> I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name
those don't appear to be words of comfort
what is this "how dare you take 2+2 and get 4 I am outraged at your calumnies" shit
@davidgerard @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name because folks internally have said that. I expressed no discomfort with the name personally. I used it again in the poll post. I clearly have no personal issue with using it.
@davidgerard @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs in fact, someone internally questioned me using "kill switch" in the post above, and I defended it, saying that a lot of folks I chatted to liked and understood the name.
Whilst it might not make it into Release Firefox, I think it's the right term to use in these discussions in the meantime.
@davidgerard @mdavis @firefoxwebdevs I did not say I was personally uncomfortable with the term, because I am not personally uncomfortable with the term.
Please do not let your imagination run wild with this.
@jaffathecake @davidgerard @mdavis@mastodon.social @firefoxwebdevs this is a real weird hill for you to die on
if you’re representing your employer and they’re uncomfortable with the kill switch naming, to the point where you keep encasing the term in scare quotes every time it’s used, then we can’t tell and frankly don’t care if you personally love the term. nobody’s here for Jake. do you understand that? we’re here because we’re dedicated Firefox users angry at the direction your employer has taken.
@zzt @jaffathecake @firefoxwebdevs this account will be shut down by the incoming AI CMO anyway as unauthorised marketing
@davidgerard @zzt @jaffathecake @firefoxwebdevs He sounds like a politician talking to the press. “I never said that.” “Yes you did.” “Well what I meant to say was…” “It was implied.” “Its the official position of the government….”
@zzt @davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs "note that Jake, in presenting the kill switch and calling it a kill switch and getting it into all the papers as a kill switch, says he's uncomfortable with the name" - I was called out by name directly and deliberately.
@jaffathecake @zzt @firefoxwebdevs i'm sure you'll reveal the culprit who hacked the account and posted it forthwith
@davidgerard @zzt @firefoxwebdevs It's telling that you can't admit that you (deliberately?) misrepresented me to stir outrage.
@jaffathecake @davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs it’s telling that you can’t admit that you deliberately misrepresented community consensus to push horseshit into the browser I use
@zzt @jaffathecake @davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs Fatality. Objective C... WINS
@jaffathecake @zzt @firefoxwebdevs your outrage is entirely performative and I don't believe you
@davidgerard @jaffathecake @firefoxwebdevs nah just look at the outrage we’ve stirred:
- many posts constructively outlining a path for Firefox (all non-core browser features as add-ons that aren’t installed by default), more than sufficient to establish consensus in a good faith environment
- lots of passionately negative responses to the poll as presented, more than sufficient to discard the poll in a good faith environment
- plenty of emotional posts because Firefox matters
how horrid!
@zzt @jaffathecake @davidgerard @firefoxwebdevs
I'm not here because I'm a dedicated Firefox user. I'm here because:
by the way, here's the Twitter version of the poll, posted the same time as the masto version. the screenshot is the *entire* responses to the poll, because Twitter is a plague graveyard.
https://xcancel.com/FirefoxWebDevs/status/2008586590998983153
note also the claim about "open data", which turns out to mean "we took the data cos someone found it lying around fell off the back of a truck honest" and not "open" in any other sense.
but the weird thing is, it has one less option for no good reason (Twitter allows four options too).

Firefox for Web Developers
@FirefoxWebDevs
Firefox uses on-device downloaded-on-demand ML models for privacy-preserving translation.
They're not LLMs. They're trained on open data.
Should translation be disabled if the AI 'kill switch' is active?
40% Yes
44% No
16% 🤷
J (see/sharp)
@JunianDev
This should be different toggle like Apple Intelligence. How big is the model file size? If every app download their own local model, it'll waste our limited storage.
Sahithyan
@sahithyandev
Are LLMs trained on closed data?
Piotr Rogowski
@Szpadel0
I believe this deserves a dedicated option, I see a lot of people wanting to disable AI, but keep translations
@firefoxwebdevs @mdavis small clarification
@firefoxwebdevs introduced the concept of an "AI kill switch"
the "AI kill switch purists" you're talking about don't exist.
No serious person would think this is a good idea because it doesn't make sense. Evident by this "design" stumble at the start line
@fasterandworse @firefoxwebdevs @mdavis it is less likely to be a stumble and more likely introduced in bad faith by a PM to derail the process
Btw, there's meaningful discussion to be had about the biases encoded in ML-based translation -- try translating "the scientist" and "the teacher" into a language with gendered nouns. But that is separate from the widespread opposition to LLMs and everyone knows it.
@mdavis @firefoxwebdevs As an example, firefox nuked all the community contributed documentation on their japanese pages in favour of machine translated AI-Slop, those are reasons we are very much against this, instead of well done human translations done with care it's now pure garbage.
@firefoxwebdevs The frame of this question is risible.
I am begging you to just make a web browser.
Make it the best browser for the open web. Make it a browser that empowers individuals. Make it a browser that defends users against threats.
Do not make a search engine. Do not make a translation engine. Do not make a webpage summariser. Do not make a front-end for an LLM. Do not make a client-side LLM.
Just. Make. A. Web. Browser.
Please.
@m0rpk @firefoxwebdevs you have it completely backwards, AI should be opt in not opt out
@redfernmike @m0rpk @firefoxwebdevs But that way they can't validate their CEOs ego by telling them how many people are "using" the Clanker.
@m0rpk I second this.
I cannot for the love of me think about a moment where I opened my webbrowser and thought:
- "I miss a search engine"
- "I miss a translation engine"
- "I miss webpage summariser"
- "I miss an LLM front-end" (I don't even use LLMs)
- "I miss a client-side LLM"
I just wanna open my webbrowser and not be bothered by anything dammit...

@duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard @tante
Missing options there.
Not built in but should allow alternatives, yet not focusing.
I quite agree with this reflection https://www.anildash.com/2025/11/14/wanting-not-to-want-ai/
@rsn @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @tante I asked him for a week where all these AI-wanting Firefox users were, several other people did, and he couldn't show a one. So I would treat that essay as AI shilling by criti-hype.
@davidgerard @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @tante
We *might* miss the point thinking like this and be condemned to not see the FF market share rise again, since all people wanting AI probably already moved over to AI browser. Hence not finding them using FF.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want AI. But I don't live alone.
EDIT. I *was an undergraduate students teacher for 2 years* and I can tell the very large majority of the youth use AI, for many many use cases. Even though it's prohibited.
@rsn @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @tante do any of these uses survive the bubble popping and the VC-subsidised APIs shutting down? I can't think of one.
anyone who thinks any form of "AI is here to stay" hasn't examined how this works.
@davidgerard @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @tante
What about CSS prefixes? They were not intended to last yet they've been implemented and supported.
I'm not trying to be right but to discuss the stakes.
@davidgerard @rsn @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @tante I think I broadly agree with this.
The pop-up analogy is interesting enough, but the problem with it is that tabs and pop-up blockers are generically useful browser features — they might have been built for the kind of person who uses pop-up laden trash websites, but we all benefit.
I don't really know what Firefox's planning board looks like but I'd bet money there are tickets knocking about at the bottom of some forgotten backlog with names like "improve custom search engines" and "finally do something with that 'sideview' experiment" — dig those out and do them. I bet AI users would love to be able to easily make ChatGPT their default search engine and have it open in a sidebar by default — and the rest of us would doubtless get some utility from those things as well. You can refocus your priorities around a class of user without pivoting the entire company. Putting AI right in the browser is like a headphones company realising people listen to music on the train and instead of improving noise cancellation, building a set of headphones *with an integrated train*.
We're not going to combat Bad AI with Good AI. What on Earth makes anyone at Mozilla think they can make a better AI than Apple managed? It's utter nonsense.
Firefox is a web browser. ChatGPT is a website. They work together just fine out of the box.

@duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs This is a so much better way to select options. In the survey above you have to read the question, understand the negation, stop, pause, think, process the different options, ...
The second one just asks what should be done (positive) and gives underatandable choices.
Please, let's all make surveys as easy as The Duke did. 🙂
@duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs Oh, and please use clear choices with unambiguous answers. What does "🤷♀️" even mean in the first survey?
- I don't know.
- I don't care.
- I lack sufficient deep knowledge about what AI actually is, though I do get the feeling that it's more than just LLMs, but how would I know? The privacy intrusions and energy sources both used to create LLMs in the first place do *really* bother me, especially in the shadows of Metallica v. Napster and the social inequity that is now used by companies like OpenAI. Also, I want to crawl to bed, eat pizza and pet my cat.
- Something else...
So, dear Firefoxians, what does 🤷♀️ mean in your survey?
@jesterchen @duke_of_germany ah, I thought 🤷 was well understood to mean "I don't know/care, I just want to see the results". It's pretty commonly used, but clearly not commonly enough. Sorry!

For context: I saw mocks of the kill switch where translation was included, but it lacked the ability to enable the kill switch but still enable particular features (such as translation).
The results of this poll helped me successfully push for more granular control in addition to the single AI kill switch. So again, thank you for that.
@jaffathecake @firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante
Thank you for pushing for, and getting, more controls for the end user.
I know you are not directly involved in that part of the organization.
Please stop conflating all machine learning with generative AI/LLMs.
@cryptica @firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante I agree they're different. I feel I laid out the difference clearly in the poll, and from your messages, it seems like you agree.
And yet, the vast majority considers that to be the type of thing that should be covered by the kill switch.
So, if the kill switch didn't include translation, folks would have accused us of cheating/dishonesty. I'm glad we avoided that.
@jaffathecake @firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante
I still think the poll results are skewed based on the construction of the response options tying translation features that people do want to the genAI features that no one wants.
Hence why I'm asked for you (and whoever was responsible for the mockup in the first place) to stop tying them together.
@cryptica @firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante I really agree with you in terms of translation, but look at some of the replies to the poll posts. I think if Mozilla tried to say "no, this isn't the type of AI you hate, it's different", the response would be furious.
@firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante when did you start calling the translation engine “AI”?
I don’t think I’ve seen it referred to that way until after people started objecting to more recent things more consistently referred to as “AI”
@ShadSterling @firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @tante around the same time crypto bros started calling git a "blockchain", or at least for the same sort of reasons
@firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante at first I thought lumping the translation models with the rest of genAI shit in your poll was just incompetence from execs/board members without enough knowledge on this matter. Now I think it's intentional, and pathetic.
I mean, I have never seen anyone complaining about it (why would anyone? it's a non commercial AND ACTUALLY USEFUL thing, runing locally without sharing anything outside, made in collaboration with public unis, and from what I've seen all the training data is public domain, opensource or similar, that's how these things should be done).
But now I remember how aibros insist in lumping LLMs with classic neural networks etc as if everything was the same to give credibility to LLMs. So now people opposing their shitty LLM integration are opposing translations too of course and that shows how unreasonable they are.
@firefoxwebdevs @Compassionatecrab @duke_of_germany @davidgerard @tante
The translation engine wouldn't even be an issue if it wasn't for your attempt to tie it into the kill switch for so-called "AI" software that shouldn't be necessary because the Eliza chatbot software has negative value.
It's a distraction from the real issue, and you know it's a distraction from the real issue.
@firefoxwebdevs Where's the option for "I do not want this bullshit toy anywhere near my browser"? Is someone forcing you at gunpoint to be pro-slop? Why are all the executives so into this crap? Can't we just let them have their cocaine daydreams without subject the rest of us to it?
@StarkRG @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard Firefox only exists because Google subsidize them so they can point to FF as "proof" that Chrome isn't a monopoly. With the new regime in power, that's a dead issue. So Google want FF to push AI adoption now because they've figured out how to monetize it and they don't want precious eyeballs evading their slopware. If Google cut off their "search" payment to FF, Mozilla goes bust and the C-suite lose their jobs. QED.
@firefoxwebdevs How about "don't put pointless AI bullshit into your browser in the first place so you don't have to ask asinine loaded questions like this to try to con people into not turning all that shit off.
@firefoxwebdevs Is it an off-switch, or isn't it?
"Off-switch except for this PM's pet project" is not an off-switch.

they have a roadmap that is dedicated to making an actual browser engine, not a collection of browser features on top of one
@firefoxwebdevs My closest answer would be "no", but I think the question is kind of mis-phrased here, and that's probably going to lead to a confusing and potentially misleading outcome.
The problem that people have is not with "AI" as a generalized category, but with the current generation of thieving, climate-destroying, grifting systems that are marketed as AI to an overwhelming degree - notably LLMs and "generative AI", but really anything with those inconsiderate properties.
If your kill switch is presented as an "AI kill switch", then depending on the person they're either going to understand that as "exploitative tech", or as "machine learning", and so make different assumptions as to whether local translation is included in that.
So I think you'll have to be a lot more explicit about what you mean; either by describing clearly what the kill-switch includes, or what it excludes, right in the place where the option is offered. Otherwise it's damned if you do, damned if you don't; depending on whether you include translations, either one or another group is going to be upset with the unexpected behaviour.
So, ethically, if the translation feature is built on ethically collected data, and it has no outsized climate impact, then I would not consider it something that needs to be included in a "get rid of all of it" kill switch. But to convey this clearly to users, both that and why it isn't included should be explained right there with the button, with potentially a second-step option to disable it anyway if someone still feels uncomfortable with it.
That way you've transparently communicated to users and shown that you have nothing up your sleeve by immediately and proactively offering them an option to disable that, too, if they have already shown interest in removing "AI" features.
@firefoxwebdevs Here's a concrete example of what I mean, that should be pretty consistent with the Firefox UI design:
@joepie91 @firefoxwebdevs turns out the translator includes mass-collected data too, it's not "open data" at all but whatever they found lying about
@joepie91 I think a lot of people in the replies would consider this sneaky. It's a tricky UX problem. But yes, granular control needs to be part of the solution, along with a kill switch.
@firefoxwebdevs I can only speak for myself of course, but I'm someone who is strongly opposed to sneaky approaches, like hiding things in submenus or requiring people to go back later to disable new things, for example. And I'm also strongly opposed to basically everything in the current generation of "AI" (LLMs, GenAI, etc.) - but personally I wouldn't consider this sneaky, as it's immediately visible that there's a second choice to make, at the exact moment you disable "AI".
Of course if that stops being the case and the second option gets hidden behind an "Advanced..." button or foldout for example, it would be sneaky. But in the way it's shown in my mockup, I would consider it fine as it's both proactively presented and immediately actionable.
(I do still think that exploitative "AI" things should be opt-in rather than opt-out, but it doesn't seem like that's within the scope of options that will be considered by Mozilla, so I'm reasoning within the assumption of an opt-out mechanism here)
@joepie91 they will be opt-in, but different people have different opinions about what that means. For us, it means models won't be downloaded or data sent to models without the user's request.
However, some folks have said the only meaningful opt-in would be a separate binary for the browser-with-AI, or even having to compiling it manually.
@firefoxwebdevs "Without the user's request" is quite ambiguous, though. I'm reminded here of Google, which put the AI tab before the Web/All tab, displacing it so that people would unintentionally hit the AI button and "request" it. It's a small and plausibly-deniable change that nevertheless violates the user's boundaries, and difficult to call out and stop even internally within a company or team. I've seen many companies and software do the same thing.
A genuine opt-in would, in my opinion, look something like a single "hey do you want such-and-such features? these are the implications" question, presented in a non-misleading way, and if that is not answered affirmatively then the various UI elements for "AI" features should not even appear in the UI unless the user goes and changes this setting. It's much harder for that to get modified in questionable ways down the line, and reduces the 'opportunities for misclick' to a single one instead of "every time someone wants to click a button". It also means users aren't constantly pestered with whatever that week's new "AI" thing is if they've shown no interest.
Such a dialog could still specify something like "if you choose Yes, Firefox will still only download models once you try to use a feature", to make it clear to users that it's not an all-or-nothing, and they can still pick-and-choose after selecting 'Yes'.
@joepie91 @firefoxwebdevs Mozilla's tortured definition of opt-in seems to predict that Mozilla will invent features to nag you into enabling AI, as they have already done with Link Previews: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/01/06/architecting-consent-for-ai-deceptive-patterns-in-firefox-link-previews.html
@firefoxwebdevs @joepie91 Just like making a poll that has no option for having no in the options in the first place right?... right?...
@firefoxwebdevs What about you opt in to the AI stuff you want by installing an extension, it's easy, problem is solved, then you are stopping cramming in stuff people don't want, 99% of people don't need, this has been suggested so many times, and you keep on ignoring it, I guess the answer is pressure from the leardership..
@firefoxwebdevs I believe it'd be better if Firefox stopped referring to unwanted slop like chatbots with meaningless marketing terms such as 'AI' instead
@firefoxwebdevs I don't care. Local translation in FF is on the level of free early 2000s web translators. So maybe just remove it and add it again, when it's production ready
@flxtr @firefoxwebdevs as someone who used these in the early 2000s: no, it's not. It's not as good as DeepL, but it's worlds ahead of machine translation in the 2000s.
@firefoxwebdevs if I better understood what "downloaded-on-demand ML models" means in practice, I'd feel more qualified to participate. 😉 No external service involved in any way, right? How resource hungry was/is training that model?
@xela no external service is used. I'm not sure on the resources used for training, but it's useful to know that would factor into your decision. The project is here https://github.com/mozilla/translations
@firefoxwebdevs @xela If you are doing PR for the company about how great AI is, maybe it would be nice for you to know what you are talking about?...
@firefoxwebdevs @xela I read earlier that everything goes into english so that if I translate something from swedish to norwegian, two very closely related languages firefox will translate from swedish into english, then from english into norwegian, this is per definition a shitty feature that introduces a ton of vagueries, and multiplies errors by over a magnitude, but I guess as an english speaker something like that would never occur to you, because you don't have to deal with the shitty consequences of such an anglocentric decision.
@firefoxwebdevs @xela If you didn't think it was great you would do the sensible thing and develop them as addons rather than including them into the executable to pump up the number of people seen using it...
@sotolf may I ask to not further mention me in such posts, as I get notified every time. And I don't think, the tone is appropriate.
There was a survey, we got some interesting details about the implementation, we can draw our conclusions. At least, that's what I did.
No need to personally attack some dev folks in the Fediverse.
@xela You're free to block or mute my account, I will try to delete your mentions if I see them in the future, it's just not easy to keep remembering when I will answer in this post in a couple of hours.
There is nothing wrong in the tone of that post though. That was just constructive criticism, it's not a personal attack when I'm answering to a non-personalised PR account.. That is per definition not personal.
@xela @firefoxwebdevs Translations involve either 1 or 2 models depending on the language pairs. Each language requires a model going into, and out of English. Training a language involves on the order of hundreds of GPU hours, and the largest models probably get into the thousands range. Early models were in the thousands range probably before we optimized things.
@gregtatum @xela @firefoxwebdevs So that means that if I'm translating something from swedish to norwegian it's getting translated to english and then back into norwegian, that sounds like an enourmous recipe for desaster with how garbage machine translation is with a single translation, another place where the anglophiles makes everything garbage for everyone else by not thinking through things...
@firefoxwebdevs Wow, lots of entirely unhelpful and frankly rude comments in this thread.
Thank you for actually taking the time to listen to user feedback, it's much appreciated! Personally, I think anything AI/ML/LLM should be included in the Kill Switch, but with the option to turn on each feature manually.
@tedstechtips @firefoxwebdevs Seriously! How rude of people to react so negatively to the consent breaking machine being added to Firefox, against user consent! Acting like Firefox already broke users' consent or something. So rude!!!
The nice & totally respectful folks at Firefox are even asking what features they can plausibly hold hostage, to get us to give up consent ahead of time! So nice of them!!!
It's not like users of a privacy focused browser would care about something like consent anyways. So weird!!!
Just give me an easy to find switch that removes _all_ LLM and "AI"-features in Firefox, thank you.
@knud @firefoxwebdevs No, put it in an extension so that it won't be "magically reenabled" like all the other ml options I kept having to disable when I was still using firefox...
@firefoxwebdevs Said translation should be an opt-in extension you can install if you want it. Not a core component at all.
@firefoxwebdevs you came up with the "killswitch" as if it was opt-in (it's *clearly* opt-out!), you put translate and llm-stuff into one box, *you* are the ones engaging in worst faith. why don't you go ahead and ask us why we're punching ourselves?
@firefoxwebdevs I'm trying to phrase this using as little expletives as possible: About 18 years, I installed Firefox because I needed a tool to look at webpages written in the hypertext markup language, transferred from their servers via the hypertext transfer protocol. That's arguably the only sensible usecase for an internet browser that we could come up with so far. Firefox was actually really good at that. It was fast. It worked decently well on my linux machine. Over the years it got even better. The extension system allowed for proper ad, script blockers and other privacy preserving add-ons.
That niche of "good browser" got emptier and until only Firefox remained. And for some bizarre reason the strategy right now is to yeet itself out of that niche? Because it totally makes sense to devote resources to some GenAI gimmicks, to then devote even more resources to implement a "kill-switch" to disable them?
Firefox has one job and one job only: Download and display websites. I don't see many resources devoted to that these days.
@firefoxwebdevs Also as a side note: The org I'm working on has banned genAI tools for projects above a certain level of confidentiality. Guess what? Firefox is banned as well and probably stays banned regardless of any kill switch.
@sebastian which feature resulted in the ban? Given that you can access eg chatgpt in any browser, shouldn't your company ban all browsers?
@jaffathecake @sebastian this is the sort of posting that sartre wrote about. never believe that corporate marketers are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies.
@jaffathecake ChatGPT (and many other web based things) are firewalled.
Also you are looking at a compliance issue from a technical viewpoint. As the implications of genAI generated content wrt. copyright and things like patent applications are still somewhat unclear in many jurisdictions, the simplest solution is to stay well clear of any tool that claims to do anything "AI".
If the contract with the customer says "no AI because it exposes us to legal risks", then the work has to be done in a clean environment where there is nothing that could be considered AI.
@firefoxwebdevs Translation models are language models.
The way I see it, there are two types of AI things in the Firefox product:
• User-helping features: translation, captioning, … Those don’t even need AI in the name, it's clear what they do, and the underlying tech only sets how good they are at their job.
• Buzzword features: AI sidebar, AI window. Those don’t have a user-facing goal, and are essentially a marketing gimmick.
@espadrine I personally agree with you, but most respondents to the poll do not. It seems like, if the AI switch did not disable translations, folks would not have trust in the setting.
@firefoxwebdevs @espadrine We have no trust in you since you keep on gaslighting us in these threads, picking out parts of posts to answer without answering the real question asked, ignoring dissenting voices but answering to people who agree with you, the thing is when you're being disingenous like this you're going to get wrong data.
@firefoxwebdevs heres a better idea, take all the AI gubbins added in that nobody wants, put them on a flash drive, then fling that flash drive into the sun. Nobody asked for this
@firefoxwebdevs Why a poll?
As if you cared about any feedback.
@240185 I've already used the results of this poll to push for change in the AI kill switch. The feedback was massively appreciated.

@firefoxwebdevs @240185 Did you mention the overall dim view that users express at the prospect of losing their favorite browser to AI hype? Mozilla's problem here is far greater than "how should we implement a kill switch." How is Mozilla planning to restore the trust they've lost by employing deceptive patterns against their user base?
Thank you everyone who responded to this.
For context: I saw mocks of the kill switch where translation was included, but it lacked the ability to enable the kill switch but still enable particular features (such as translation).
The results of this poll helped me successfully push for more granular control in addition to the single AI kill switch. So again, thank you for that.
This account is about web platform features and DevTools in Firefox. I only got personally involved in the AI kill switch because of previous feedback from many of you here.
I know many of you wanted, instead, a broader referendum on 'AI' features in Firefox. However, I'm not personally in a position to action results of such a poll. Whereas I was confident I could do something about the results of the poll I ran, which is why I ran it.
@firefoxwebdevs If the features not required by everyone to browse the web were provided as extensions rather than being crammed into the browser, almost none of the discussion would be necessary. You could have a start page of buttons to download and install the add-on features with a single click. People who didn’t want the features — or already had them via other software — would be happy. People who did want them would also be happy.

Sure, people would be annoyed about Mozilla spending its time on stuff they don’t want, but they wouldn’t be annoyed to the point of ditching the browser entirely and encouraging others to do the same.

Maintaining Gecko must be hell
@Waterfox
@cmccullough @sirber83 Maintaining FOSS software has to be a massive pain. People are pissed off if you stop working on it, they don't want to donate to the project, and you have to thread the needle if you want to find a way to get the project to pay for itself. I was watching the drama with Nick Wellnhofer/libxml2 and thinking that the only way I would get involved would be if an employer were enlightened enough to fund it. That doesn't happen every day.
mozilla: we just don’t know how to satisfy our users’ demands for “no AI”, after all what is AI? translation? spellchecking? TLS? if we start slopcoding features will they demand we disable those too? so many gray areas!
firefox users: if it’s not core browsing functionally make it an add-on that isn’t installed by default. and then consider not writing the add-on if it turns out nobody wants it.
mozilla: I know what I’ll do! I’ll write a poll where one of the options is 🤷, that’ll fix it!
@zzt and I'll skip over the 90% of the replies that are shouting a unified response
@fasterandworse hmmmm what could the community possibly want
time to bikeshed another meeting about the existential nature of a kill switch nobody wanted (because a kill switch is an opt-out mechanism)
@fasterandworse @zzt Just keep on doing polls until people have enough of them and only yes men are bothering to answer and then claim the tides have turned and say that everyone is positive to AI now.
@zzt The con here is to define "core browser functionality" as "requiring AI". I mean who's to say that "show me a list of the web sites I visited today" does not require magical machine learning. I asked a plagiarism machine and it said maybe sooooo
@zzt Here's another example, extremely Mozilla-related.
Back in the Triassic, let's say 1996, there were a bunch of puddingheads at my company who wanted to introduce C++ across the Mozilla codebase. Many of us (who were right) said "this is unnecessary and will needlessly destabilize our cross-platform product. No. NFW. Please no...? OMG no...?") and it happened anyway.
Now imagine those same idiots had some press release say "but we will have a C++ kill switch. That customers can turn on."
Have any Mastodon administrators managed to migrate their server to a different physical machine without significant downtime? Considering this by spinning up a replica and multiple web servers, and then switching over the databases... if that's possible. #MastoAdmin
@ai6yr I never hosted Mastodon but did this with GoToSocial and it's probably a similar process overall. I think if you plan it well you'd only be down for a few minutes or however long it may need you to move the data over.
Ultimately, it's a very good "backup test and restore procedure". As in... At least you know your backups are working, and your restore procedure is adequate.
I may be snac-based for a little while as I sort that out

@kims My migraine is ending.
If that’s not exactly what you were hoping for as a response, it snowed outside recently, too, and I love snow.
@kims Yesterday I filled my car up to the roof with bags of clothes and blankets. Drove to a Palestinian village in the West Bank and transferred them to a taxi a family I have connections with have hired. I am not allowed to enter the village. They will take what they need and give the rest to their neighbours. Everyone knows about Gaza, but the extent of the economic oppression in the West Bank is unknown, even to Israelis.

Such a lifesaver!
yeah, I usually use the boot-loader's "choose a snapshot to boot" menu option, but you can also use bectl to specify "boot $SNAPSHOT next time" with a flag to control "just once" (good for testing) or "I want to boot $SNAPSHOT as my default"
As for which, the most-recent or most-recent-minus-one (#penultimate 😆), something with a date prior to when you upgraded.
Hang on, does activate -T make the current selection permanent, or does it just remove the selection and default to whatever is latest (FreeBSD 15, in my case)?
How do I make the reversion permanent?
activate [-t | -T] beName
Activate the given beName as the default boot filesystem. If
the -t flag is given, this takes effect only for the next boot.
Flag -T removes temporary boot once configuration. Without
temporary configuration, the next boot will use zfs dataset
specified in boot pool bootfs property.
If I read it correctly, -t sets the one-boot, and if you decide, no, on the next reboot, I don't want to boot that dataset once, use -T to undo the -t (before rebooting, since rebooting would also clear the boot-once flag because, well, it rebooted once already).
Without -t or -T, just using
# bectl activate $NAME
it would set it for subsequent boots too.
there was a season in which you had to remember to manually snapshot before upgrading and I **never** remembered to do it. The auto-snapshots are such a butt-saver 🥰
I was this old when I realised that Mastodon has CSS classes called things like icon-retweet. Is this an official policy position on what reposting should be referred to as?
Kinda doubt it, I've seen it called "boost" just about everywhere.
a high-profile software project proudly announcing that it's going to start "using AI" is basically the same thing to me as seeing a big "this repo is archived" banner. perhaps even worse in some respects? intentionally or not, the message it sends is "we don't really enjoy programming and we don't want to work on this anymore, but rather than retire the project we're going to do a really lackluster job from now on". like if your favorite coffee brand proudly announced "now 20% more sawdust"
They… they what???
Scubrats, I was hoping to last a few more years before adding a project to my plate to code a Calibre alternative.
Forking fork, it's time to fork it!!!
Eh, I've been secretly planning an alternative for a while. Because what I needed all along was more coding projects.

boosted@amin @rl_dane Check out booklore. https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore
Hm, this does look intriguing enough to test out.
Particularly now that I've jailbroken my Kindle and have KOReader.
It does appear to be coded in Java and TypeScript, though. Which sounds like a pain to self-host (I avoid docker). :P
@amin @thelinuxcast @rl_dane would you elaborate why no docker? no containers in general? (I’m genuinely interested)
@tippfehlr @thelinuxcast @rl_dane
Yeah, containerization just hasn't been very fun for me to play with in general. And I generally find that software designed in such a way that it's easy to self-host without a container is also usually designed much more in line with my preferences and is less bloated. And it's easier to diagnose issues.
With docker specifically my main gripe is that it completely bypasses firewalls and rewrites their rules.

@amin @thelinuxcast @rl_dane It seems to be a bit on the slow side with only ~150 books
@tippfehlr @amin @rl_dane What are you hosting it on? Mine is way overkill, granted, so I'm not surprised that mine is fast. Granted Calibre is slow af all the time, so maybe I'm just thinking it's fast because it's faster than calibre
@thelinuxcast @amin @rl_dane Oracle free Arm vps, should be plenty enough. It was better this morning, maybe it was just my Internet.

Calibre's DeACSM plugin is certainly convenient but I bet it could be reverse engineered into a python script CLI instead of a plugin.
@amin @thelinuxcast @rl_dane Probably but I don't see myself doing that

… are true.
However, it’s still an explicit endorsement of the TESCREAL bullshit, and I’d prefer to use something that does not even have an optional “AI” integration. (I’m not a Calibre user, have yet to find any need for it, so I’m commenting a bit from the outside.)
On the other hand, here’s a link to a very interesting thread about this from not only the inside, but also from the books and reading and user perspective. This is definitely food for thought, and good to have read in full (follow the link contained), even if one has already a set opinion on so-called “AI” per se and/or this integration, even if one doesn’t even use it:
https://buc.ci/abucci/p/1765053767.148776
The above link is a toot linking to https://wandering.shop/@xgranade/115671289658145064 (a large thread split into many small posts 😾) and excerpting a best-of. Still worth reading through the entire thread.
(Thanks, @abucci and @xgranade and @whitequark )
@mirabilos @amin @rl_dane @abucci @xgranade not sure I agree with much said in the thread, like "fundamentally changing the relation" or "from a tool to read books to ...".
I still use Calibre the same way as ever before, mostly to manage my libraries and load then onto my reading devices.
The permanent whining about AI is strange to me.
@mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org @amin@polymaths.social @rl_dane@polymaths.social @xgranade@wandering.shop
@abucci @mirabilos @amin @rl_dane
I am affected, both at work as well as maintainer of oss projects and gsoc mentor. I'm well aware of the pain of LLM slop. But I have also developed enough AI based systems that actually help people.
So AI, but also LLMs, are tools, and I hear far too many rants that are just meaningless broadband accusations that AI is bad and and and.
Those are tools. Like TV. Like guns. If they are used badly, it is bad. But a blanket "AI is bad" simply doesn't cut it.
The things you say, that AI is just a tool "like guns", or X or Y "simply doesn't cut it", characterizing valid critique as "rants", to my ears sounds paternalistic, libertarian and empathy-challenged. I've had more than my fill of that kind of rhetoric so I'm out. Have a good one.

@norbu @abucci @mirabilos @amin
As my "Intro to Graduate Humanities" professor was always fond of saying, "Il faut préciser."
There are always nuances to every argument, but I think your initial reply smacks a bit of tone policing, to be honest.
Yes, there are a multitude of types of "A.I.," and not every application is bad. But since most "A.I." out there was incredibly unethically sourced, and involved in what will almost certainly be just the next yottacorporate pump-and-dump scheme, I don't understand your frustration with people's outrage.
I am, to be very frank, incredibly frustrated that 99% of the people I encounter simply do not give a shit about how something is created, procured, or used, as long as it makes their day 1% easier.
This is why I say, "Replace 'AI' in the sentence with 'slavery' and see how it reads."
Because ultimately, the carelessness of the consumer is the same with both, and the inhumanity of "capitalism" is the same.
@rl_dane @mirabilos @amin (taking out abucci since they mentioned "I'm out")
> But since most "A.I." out there was incredibly unethically sourced,
Actually NO. LLMs might be unethically sourced, I completely agree with that. But that is not "most AI". There is **far** more AI out there then the LLMs - only it is far less visible and a kick point.
That is the whole of my argument, please say "LLM" if you mean LLM, and not "AI".
If you put "LLM" in there, I am 100% behind what you say.
I think you're being semantic-pedantic, to be honest.
"AI" is a broad term that covers everything from Pacman's ghosts' pathfinding algorithm, to ELIZA, to the Perceptrons, to whatever fresh hell Altman is dreaming up next.
But I'm responding to "AI" in its modern marketing-driven parlance, which is almost exclusively LLMs, which is (AFAIK) the issue with Calibre.
@mirabilos @amin @rl_dane @norbu AI is what people say when the want venture capital, even if no machine learning is involved
🍵 boostedI see generative AI as, among other things, a tool to further degrade collective reason, dialogue, deliberation, and reflection, which is one of a million reasons to resist it. I think it's especially important to resist generative AI wherever it threatens to degrade literacy, since reading is one of the best ways to we know to improve collective reason et al.

Very much agree with you! - That's why I started looking into the issue.
Opt-in is the best choice IMHO.

@christianrickert @dm @rl_dane
Yeah, as I understand it the plugins are enabled but unless you've configured them (ie, opt-in), they don't do anything or load any code. But I figure disabling the plugins would remove them altogether?
@christianrickert @rl_dane I guess I'm going to have to create a "Disable all the LLM bullshit" Ansible playbook.

I'm joining the founding congress of Your Party, as I'll be in London from the 26th of November to the 3rd of December and inbetween in Liverpool, of course. I'll also be attending Sultana's Eve of Conference Rally with friends of mine going to Corbyn's. If anyone reading this will be there, let me know! 🕊️🚩
The Greenspamming social media campaign truly is something that needs to be studied: The fact the greens in the United Kingdom existed for 35 years with little to no successful campaign beyond a few elected officials, and now just realized that they can scavenge off members from a bigger, more leftist movement than they have built, is making me question how socialist their principles are, and what solidarity means to them.
Everywhere where they are seated in parliament they agree to budget cuts, they have no clear anti-imperialist position, they mainly have a leader that now calls himself socialist, which wasn't the case a year ago. They showed solidarity for the Palestinian people when it was socially acceptable to do so. On the other side, people like Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana existed, who fought for that position to become acceptable and lost their public image over it.
To get most of your members through a defamation campaign against a struggling new socialist party, and to now call for solidarity, “joining forces”, or forming a coalition because everything else would be “splitting the vote” , exposes how shallow and instrumentalizing this campaign by the greens is.
No singular member or representative of Your Party is better off joining the greens, they will be used as a marketing gimmick but never allowed into any positions. Zack Polanski is with his positions much more at odds with the UK Green Party and would be much better off at Your Party 🚩

A screenshot of an Instagram comment by “apeincage” reading:
“All the Green bots here saying "join the Greens!". If Zarah did that she'd be betraying tens of thousands of people across the country who are putting in the hours to get YP where it needs to go. What kind of arsehole would that make her? And that's the sort of MP you'd want in the Greens is it? Just shows how shallow the Greenspamming campaign is. How about a little solidarity if you are the socialists you claim to be.”

An Instagram conversation between two users, one called “gay_bowser_” reading:
“Genuinely getting pissed off by all the 'Join the Greens!!!' bs. If the Green Party stops engaging in and endorsing mass austerity that harms women, LGBTQ+ people, ethnic minorities, and the workers' movement in general, supports trade unions and actually fights for Socialism, then fine I agree, join the Greens. Until then, no. If you're not a Socialist, join the Greens for all I care, but don't pretend that party, its apparatus, or its leader care about Socialism when they've clearly shown they don't”
With “diz_helterskelter” responding:
“the Greens are clearly anti-austerity, what are you on about?!”
With “gay_bowser_” responding to that with
“anti-austerity in words, pro-austerity in action. Similar to how Reform is anti-racism in words but pro-racism in actions. The Greens' nearly 900 councillors, especially in Brighton, keep voting in cuts to public services, and Polanski, upon being asked about this, said the party would continue to implement them”

A screenshot of an Instagram comment by “the_mindful_dj” saying
“All these people saying join the greens. There was a huge swell with your party. It's proper organised and captures a diversity of voices who haven't been represented or felt like they had a political home, which has been the majority of people in the U.K. There was a slight hiccup early on. People need to put their grown up pants on and move on. It's our best chance. But let's keep talks up with the Greens who many of us from YP will be supportive of also. There doesn't need to be antagonism.”

@ErikUden Same thing happened in Germany. I still remember some people here on Mastodon telling people to not vote die Linke, because there was supposedly no chance they could make it into parliament.
@Fnordinger in the UK it's sadly more complex as they don't have a second vote like we do. Similar to the “winner takes all” system. The allegation that Your Party is “splitting the vote” is hence true, it just comes off as a bit distasteful after it was the Greens helping to split “Your Party”. They're correct that there's some sort of logic to this statement from a parliamentary standpoint, it's just that they've kind of created the situation in the first place, and it's mean to now ask you to fix it.
@ErikUden I think these arguments are generally weak. Their voters aren’t idiots, they know what they are risking. The greens should rather ask themselves why 3-4% of the voters would prefer to risk “losing” their vote instead of voting the green party. If their political goals would be closely aligned, then nobody would vote Your Party. If the greens want the 3-4% they should adapt to that demographic, not the other way around.
I'm going to the Your Party Founding Conference from the 29th to the 30th of November in 2025 with @maia and other delegates. With over 50,000 members, Your Party is the largest parliamentary organization in the United Kingdom that truly represents the working class, as it isn't just planning on managing a broken system or fighting against symptoms, but dares to point out and criticize the root of our problems: the capitalist world and its electoral system.
I am infinitely thankful for Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, as well as all other local community organizers and members, for starting something that will go down in the UK's history and shake the foundation of our money-driven system. We say: PEOPLE OVER PROFIT!
As a member of the German left (Die Linke), I know how rough it can be existing as a democratic socialist within a world subject to the contradictions of capital. However, we must never steer away from our goal, and on our path there, never forget one thing: we organize hope. That's what socialists do. It's the one resource more scarce than crude oil or good prime ministers. Hope. A finite belief that a better world is possible. I believe there can be no crime greater in the age of neoliberalism than for the ruling class to have robbed us of hope. Nobody has opinions anymore, they state their analysis of the world as fact and their political actions as the only possible consequence. They pretend our solutions are utopian and by doing so smother any social justice movement before it could even start. When in reality another world is possible, otherwise their propaganda would be unnecessary. The war over hegemony, authority, and your future has been outsourced into the one space capitalism has yet to occupy: your mind.
Having hope, despite everything, must be the most revolutionary act there is.

The second speaker, Audrey White, is a local to Liverpool. She's a representative of the Merseyside Pensioners Association, a radical activist group using civil disobedience to protest against genocide, war, and militarization. She spoke of the importance of supporting Palestine Action, opposing genocide, and especially organizing outside of the parliament in movements.
“I'm thankful to whoever invited me, because I'm a terrorist.”
“Labour has always betrayed the working class.”
“We win more from activism, than we'll ever win from parliament.”
She's from the platform for a Democratic Party which is an internal group trying to push Your Party into their direction, of which there are many already. #YourParty

The current (4th) speaker from the Democratic Socialists is criticizing the fact that some motions have been dismissed before the Founding Conference. He's speaking in favor of a collective leadership. #YourParty
boostedThe fifth speaker is a subway driver from London and a union thereof. She's speaking of the migrant and refugee experience in the United Kingdom.
“Men, I see your pain too. Your dignity isn't stolen by women or LGBTQ+ people.”
“The commonwealth isn't commonwealth. It's common-theft.”
She's calling for solidarity with Jamaica and Cuba.

The current speaker used to be member on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party and has also now defected to #YourParty 🚩
The current speaker is Lewis Nielsen who has been expelled from #YourParty today due to being a dual member (in his case he's the national secretary) of the Socialist Worker Party.
He's not talking about that for a long time, however, as the issue of allowing dual membership will be voted on this Founding Conference.
He's especially criticizing intransparent leadership and speaking in support of trans rights.

It's time – Zarah Sultana delivers an incredible speech showcasing the importance of this historic conference.
“The left is back!”
“The real enemy of the working class travels by private jets, not migrant boats.”
“I'm a proud antizionist. [...] We will ensure of a single democratic state from the river to the sea.”
“The reason we care for the starvation of the Palestinian people is because it exposes how our ruling class would treat us if they could get away with it.”
“We should abolish the monarchy.”
“When Farage says 'Kick an immigrant', Starmer asks 'how hard?'”
“Refugees are welcome here and trans rights are human rights.”
“What I've seen from picket lines to Palestine...”
“You may have noticed there have been some hiccups, some of which caused by me. For this, I apologize. [...] I will never forgive myself for damaging the party that we so desperately need.”
“I want the working class to control this party as they should some day control the world.”
The room went completely wild after her speech was over, with clapping for minutes.

The second question is asked by SkyNews, the room laughs #YourParty
The third question is asked by Steven from Novara Media, the room claps. He appears to know Zarah on a first name basis. #YourParty
The fourth question is asked by someone from OpenDemocracy. The room stays silent. #YourParty
The last question is asked by “Ruby” from the Telegraph. The room goes absolutely mad, some other journalists yell “shut up, be nice!” Someone yells “tory shite”. It appears as if the Torygraph isn't well liked here #YourParty
The first day of the Your Party Founding Conference is starting strong. I was an hour early and struggled finding a seat. We are over 4000 people and the energy in the room is something I've never experienced in my years in politics. What's starting here is unseen for in Germany, Cuba, or the United States. What's launching in the United Kingdom today is a new age of politics and everyone can feel it. #YourParty

Big news: The Central Executive Committee will no longer have special seats reserved for MPs but entirely consist of ordinary members! #YourParty
Dual membership with the greens will be possible.
Now, while I see that the media is using statements by Corbyn and Zultana to claim the conference itself was a disaster, I must very much disagree. In a conference of 4000 people, only one person needed to be removed for heckling, which was also the only incident. While people had differing opinions and sometimes strongly expressed them, they were still very kind to one another afterwards.
I get that it's not a good sign when big figures like the two party's founders are indirectly carrying out a public fight, however, most of the people I spoke to don't care. They have clear opinions on certain motions which sometimes very much align with either Corbyn or Zultana, but I've not met a singular member that would call themselves to be on either side. Ideologically, sure, but not as in wanting to stick with one and being to exclude the other. I also don't think that either Zarah Sultana or Jeremy Corbyn really have a disdain for one another.
The energy is full of excitement, but that always leaves room for heat. Heated debates. Heated statements. Many actions in the heat of the moment. While a harmonious conference would appear nicer on television, with the importance of this historic event, at a global turning point like this, I can only understand why things sometimes go south. #YourParty
Will the infighting stop? Probably not. Is Your Party over? Absolutely not. It's just begun and will become bigger than ever.
@ErikUden its the poor start and the in fighting that made me look at the Greens. And they said all of this before Zarah did.
I'm now a green party member
@Tattooed_Mummy it's okay, but I believe sooner than later the Greens won't stand for their ideals (like they did in every other European country, just look at Germany) and I hope that Your Party, or the Popular Alliance or whatever it will be called, will be organized and ready to such a degree by then that people like you who, for very valid reasons, can no longer support this party, can put your trust back into it.
@ErikUden all the time it's a Corbyn party i fear i won't be voting for them.
It's a shame we'll have a split vote now for those on the left.
But I think labour has lost the plot.
@ErikUden
> I believe sooner than later the Greens won't stand for their ideals (like they did in every other European country, just look at Germany)
What happened with the German Greens is a outlier, but it seems to have heavily coloured your perception of Green parties generally. The opposite could be true for me. Since the Greens in Aotearoa are pretty much the only electoral party that has stayed true to their principles for decades, despite the electoral costs at times.
I've met Jeremy Corbyn yesterday but all the photos are rubbish so I won't be sharing them
I'm going to be speaking in less than 15 minutes! Feel free to listen to my speech here:
Or maybe it's a bit later — not quite sure about the schedule. Technically at 10:40 the speech of an MP was supposed to start and my speech comes right after. Stay tight, it's all very exciting.
This is my POV of the man himself speaking after the results of all the elections on the motions were read.

That's awesome! Thanks for live-posting the conference. I hope your posts about this party's emergence are being archived somewhere, as you could be recording history in the making.
Giving the speech was the most intense thing I had done for long. Jeremy Corbyn came to me afterwards and we had, relatively for such a busy conference, a long talk of 15 minutes.
He said he was impressed by my speech and wishes to support me in case I get any stress for it in Germany.

I'm with my two autistic friends and we're all annoyed at the fact that some people don't adhere to the agreed upon process at #YourParty. Very funny
@ErikUden I voted against dual membership because I see political party membership as a binary choice. If it is voted in, and the decision will be made by the membership not conference, then so be it. One of the things that I like about #YourParty is the baking in of democratic principals from the start.
PS I'm enjoying your commentary on the conference.
@frantictdrinker That I whole heartedly agree with. I honestly have to admit that I can see both sides. On the one side a new party should merge with other left forces, on the other side, allowing dual membership makes it easier for outside forces to take influence on the party. One way or the other I personally believe that it was a mistake, simply for publicity's sake, to expel some members of the SWP on the day of or the day before the conference.
Still, with Die Linke it works that way as well: dual membership is allowed in extremely limited cases, only parties that don't run against Die Linke in any election. So, personally, I would also see myself on the more stricter side.
@ErikUden
> allowing dual membership makes it easier for outside forces to take influence on the party
In theory, maybe. Any examples of it actually happening in practice? Surely there are better rules that can be used to eject people working as fifth columnists within the party, most of whom won't out themselves by being formal members of opposing parties.
@ErikUden
> The Central Executive Committee will no longer have special seats reserved for MPs
This is critical. How the does anyone arguing for MPs to have special status think Labour got hijacked by centre-right liberals FFS?!
> Dual membership with the greens will be possible
Great strategy. This will allow people to join the party they feel most aligned with, even if the other one has the most effective ground game where they live, and it's strategically wiser to join in on that.
We need more of this fire 🔥!
“The reason we care for the starvation of the Palestinian people is because it exposes how our ruling class would treat us if they could get away with it.”
"if the government can fund war, it can fund welfare" friggin love this
@Lamiale I highly urge you to listen to some of the speeches, especially mine:
https://youtu.be/tb_iQQVTDiE?t=2179
If you press this link with timestamp, it should work out! Let me know what you think?
@ErikUden
Thank you, just finished listened to yours.
"Having hope despite everything must be the most revolutionary act there is."
Got no words to describe how powerful this is. I like how it could be applied to so many people - not only those with the strength to fight back, but also those who are working very hard just to stay on the margin of being alive.
Reminds me of another saying that goes a little like "if the nazis don't like you, the act of staying alive is already an act of rebellion in itself. "
And I really like how you're giving out the message that all of this isn't just some fictional idea that could not be applied to the reality. "If it doesn't work, they won't need their propaganda in the first place. " This. The fascists, the capitalists, they did all they could to carve fear into most people's mind because they fear us in the first place.
Gonna love to watch what they fear comes true. Makes me want to read a little more on relevant concepts. Thank you for the speech.
WHY CAN'T I JUST DECIDE ON AN APP AND KEEP USING IT!?
@paul stick to Phanpy. Simple
I still use both, but like to keep my follows in sync...ish
I keep having to remind myself that this #FreeBSD laptop isn't running Linux.
Other than a few very minor issues, it JUST WORKS. After all of the work (it wasn't even hard, really) of setting it up and customizing a couple of my scripts to run on FreeBSD, the OS does its most important job: disappearing.
This is pretty cool. Give yourselves a pat on the back, #FreeBSD devs. Things are really getting better.
Disclaimer: Just because I haven't encountered any deal-breakers doesn't mean that you won't. Always do your due diligence and try it out on a non-critical machine, first. Also, using an old #Thinkpad (instead of a brand new whatever) is usually the best advice for stuff like this ;)
It meaning that FreeBSD is so close to Linux why bother? XD
@rl_dane it meaning that there’s BSD, and then there’s FreeBSD.
I still don't get the negativity towards FreeBSD. 😁
@rl_dane it’s not a negativity in any way. It’s just different.
Ok, but different how, and compared to what?
Since OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD, they will naturally show more similarities between each other than compared to FreeBSD. That doesn't necessarily make FreeBSD the odd one out.
@rl_dane it is, though, due to the NIHing. It has removed itself more to get closer to GNU/Linux. Case in point, hald.
Could it be something that has been renamed or deprecated?

I found [this], though.
I get the "we want to be like Linux" issue. Can you give me some examples of the NIH? Because it seems like both zfs and a lot of the linux-y things were not invented there.
@rl_dane old Thinkpad or its mini desktop cousin, versus new anything is usually sound advice [for general use].
I do have #OpenBSD on my portable desktop though (minisform S100 - great little thing) so all is not lost!
@paul @rl_dane I got the following for my #Framework13 & that fixed my wifi issues... Pretty cheap fix until the drivers get ported for MediaTek . #FreeBSD #RunBSD #GhostBSD
https://frame.work/products/intel-wi-fi-6e-ax210?v=FRANBWNT05
Yeah, Macbooks can just kinda barely run Linux, I'm not surprised they don't like the BSDs. :/
For your other laptop, you might find a small USB wifi dongle with a supported chipset, or try that weird wireless-over-Linux-VM hack ;)
Truth be told, I'm a little miffed with my Framework - yes, there's the racism, but more practically it's just a bit clunky, the exchangeable panels on the top aren't great and overall it's not worth the money, I don't really want to spend more on it... But I'll relax about it in 6 months or so
"racism?" Did you mean to write "repairability," or is that a snarky reference to their bewildering love for Omarchy? XD
Those mini PCs are heckin' cool. I'm tempted to get one, maybe as my annual hardware purchase next year. XD
Bluetooth was the work of a Flash Gordon villain, I'm certain. XD
(Yes I know he was not the villain, but I can't resist bringing up Brian Blessed at any opportunity)
Other than those caveats which are mostly understandable (just needs better hardware re-scanning upon wake) it's very usable and most people won't do what I do, so...
Thinkpad T420
@rl_dane that sounds like you are describing Linux from 10-20 years ago :)
@rl_dane yeah, been wanting to, but Wifi isn’t going to happen for me, with my Broadcom chip, and I’m not buying a compatible thing for just a maybe.
I mean, I didn't become a #BSD user overnight. It was an itch in the back of my mind for several years. When I had spare hardware that I wasn't using for anything else, I slapped #OpenBSD on it, and it mostly just worked. Then I had the pleasure of learning a brand new-to-me system, and adapting my various scripts to it.
A couple years later, when I had an opportunity to spend a little less than $200 on another laptop, I asked for a recommendation for one that worked best with #NetBSD, and was recommended the Thinkpad X260, which I'm typing on now.
If it's something you're curious about trying, don't make it an all-or-nothing zero-sum thing. It's a slow burn into increasing nerdiness. 😅
I must say, however, that my exploration of BSD was spurred on by the fusillade of non-sequiturs and logical fallacies I received whenever I questioned the wisdom of trends like #systemd-everything in the Linux space.
Anyway, #snac doesn't have any of those types of timeline masking things, so it's much nicer in that respect 🙂
We even have custom emojis now! which was always a "ha, no chance!" thing 
(Just not in user names...yet)

But we're talking about hiding stuff from the public web interface, right? Not hiding posts from whatever application you use to interact with the instance.
Dave Winer is right: Mastodon is harder to host than WordPress
Even though it's apples and oranges in some way, Dave Winer is right when he says that it's easier to host WordPress than Mastodon. Dave's a little more all in on WP than I am. Maybe a lot more all in. Still, it's true that anybody can host their own WP instance on shared hosting, a VPS, bare metal -- what have you.
There's always #GoToSocial and #snac ;)
@rl_dane Two things -- I FORGOT that this WP blog has an automatic Fediverse hookup. I'm surprised to see this post.
Second ... my GtS site (currently turned off) was at 80 GB of data on the disk, and I thought that was too much to deal with. I think it was so huge because I was following 2K accounts.
Third. I was trying to remember snac but totally blanked on it -- thanks for the reminder. I really want to try that one.
And Honk is also awesome 🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿
Silly #Poll: where are you along the #neckbeard pipeline?
(Note: the neckbeard is metaphorical. No actual facial hair required)
Also, please remember #DanesLaw: no matter how carefully someone attempts to construct a poll, the very first comment will usually expose a glaring oversight. That's just how it goes.

I think you'd just check the one furthest down the list that still applies. ;)
I thought that too, but HaikuOS is pretty user-friendly and not terribly hackerish (and has *astounding* performance on ancient hardware), just more niche—maybe more between Linux & FreeBSD. 😆
Has Dane's Law been codified in writing before today? Because it seems very useful and accurate 😆
#hashtags for exposure:
#windows #MacOS #Linux #BSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #Haiku #HaikuOS #BeOS #Amiga #Workbench #AROS #TempleOS #Boost #BoostsAppreciated #BoostPlease #PleaseBoost
Ok, sorry for all that. 😂
It's so much fun hitting refresh and watching the numbers change on this #poll. 😅
@rl_dane if you like that, how about:

WHAT! #FreeBSD is catching up to #OpenBSD!!!
#Poll #LiveTooting
Edit: It overtook it!!! 🤯

Changes I would have made to the #poll, if I could have:
" 😅 🍵 boosted@rl_dane where should I put "MS-DOS running from ROM"?
@rl_dane where multi-select? 😔
I would SERIOUSLY love an automated way to construct a video showing how the #poll grows/changes over time, because sitting here and occasionally hitting refresh has been extremely interesting.

I agree, the back and forth movement between the Linux options has been fascinating. Not to mention the growth of the BSDs.
You should be able to do so with stop motion photography and a script
Take your DSLR, trigger it with a PLC, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi with the refresh script that you're running on the page
You can use a solenoid to trigger the DSLR driven by the Pi
Oh, it'd be much easier done with a simple shell script and curl, although parsing it would be a little bit tricky.
Actually, it could be as simple as putting weasyprint $url screenshot-$datestamp.png in a loop.
#DanesLaw absolutely in place, I should have done that at the beginning. XD
@rl_dane @dendrobatus_azureus Could you query the server to get that info? (Serious question, I have no idea) and then build the visualization from the data? https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/05_statuses.html#polls
Probably? Unfortunately, I don't know much about programming and using APIs, so I'm a little lost. ;)
Wasn't able to get either pandoc or weasyprint to produce a usable screenshot or PDF from the command line, although oddly enough, w3m produces a very usable text dump, since I'm on a #GoToSocial server, which doesn't require JS to display the post (growls at #Mastodon).
Edit: minor change for clarity
I wonder if the server even keeps such precise data?
I wonder. It'd probably have to be repeatedly scraped over time, instead, which thankfully isn't too hard.
Just loading once a minute? Couldn't be that hard.
“Refresh Firefox page and take screenshot” shouldn’t be that difficult to toss into python.
@alatartheblue @mirabilos @amin
Actually, next time, I'll just use a shell script and w3m, since #GtS doesn't require JS to display data.
That's honestly the easiest for me. Then I can script something with grimshot later to show the change. XD
But I don't know if there's really going to be a next-time to something like this. I've never had a poll go this viral (nearly a thousand votes!)
Same idea. The only reason I suggested Firefox instead of something headless is for the graphical display for time lapse. It will look “prettier” in the Firefox rendering than w3m or lynx.
@alatartheblue @amin @mirabilos
True. I tried really hard to use weasyprint or pandoc to produce a PDF or PNG of the page, but they both failed.
@alatartheblue @amin @rl_dane just get the raw data from SQL man
@alatartheblue @rl_dane @amin yes, so just run your own GtS ;)
tbh I could make this a webservice, in either PHP, Python, probably Perl, or as shell CGI, if Amin wants
@alatartheblue @rl_dane @amin besides, time lapses are a worse and less accessible way to convey a subset of this data.
@mirabilos @alatartheblue @amin
I was thinking it could just be a(n easily-parsable) text dump as well as a video timelapse.
Then again, a graph would be nice. XD
@rl_dane @alatartheblue @mirabilos
You could just scrape the content and store the vote totals in a CSV to build a histogram
I did! I was making a batch of hummus for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, so I didn't see it until now.
@mirabilos @amin @rl_dane hab ich doch...

screenshot of vote
@mirabilos @amin @rl_dane wait, what?

poll with pineapple pizza checked, but 0%
@rl_dane @mirabilos @amin
but, but, 0% with 1 check? shouldn't that be at least 33%?
Hmm, I don't think those checkmarks mean anything.
Here's how it looks in @tut@fosstodon.org...
Alt...
A screenshot the pertinent portion of the poll results screen in tut.
@rl_dane @mirabilos @amin
thats all the options i checked...
Ohhh... WEIRD then.
@rl_dane @mirabilos @amin
maybe it's special, if you like (pineapple on) pizza your opinion doesn't matter :)
@kabel42 @amin @rl_dane sooooo.
You need to run the following shell command, with the appropriate status ID given, which uses a PostgreSQL query to produce a JS snippet on stdout:

Then you go to https://jsbin.com/masitequpa/1/edit?html,output and search for “insert here” in the HTML part on the left (it’s not all that large, you’ll find it) and paste it there, overwriting the example. Then click 「Run with JS」 on the right-hand top.
#Dygraphs allows you to zoom (click-drag an area to zoom in, double-click to zoom out) and is in general pretty decent.
That red line is when the poll will expire / expired. Expired polls also get the last vote value extended to the expiry time. All polls get a (0,0,…) tuple at the origin. All other data points are actual votes.
The stacking puts the first option atop, the last option on the bottom. Not sure that’s how I’d do, easily changed in the JS though.

Linux command-line hero. But that option may be underestimating how much of my setup is held together by spit, duck tape, and baling wire. And how I run servers where I do everything bare metal instead of containerized. And how I do have a literal neckbeard at the moment.
@rl_dane I suppose I'm not the first commenter, but "I use Linux as a bootloader for Emacs" is missing from the poll.
I chose the first Linux option, because Emacs has games, too, and they run great.
@rl_dane Hmm, I know my way around the command line but I wouldn't call myself a jockey.
...
Where would Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman fit on this? (In the case of Stallman, assume he's already interjected for a moment)
Torvalds would definitely be a command-line jockey, while rms would be on a mission from Nietzsche. ;)
(Partially because Torvalds is way too much a pragmatist to hit the last option, and partially because "linux isn't an OS" hurr durr, but actually, he hasn't expressed any interest in directing anything in userspace, and instead leaves that up to people like (dear God) Poettering. XD
@rl_dane *looks at results* see! this is not a nerds' social network!
There's SEVEN whole people running Windows!!! XD
@rl_dane but it's mostly totally normal people running linux!
@rl_dane@polymaths.social @rl_dane@snac.bsd.cafe I use many operating systems daily
@rl_dane FreeNUX, because it's where I learnt how to lie about my former career as a go-go-dancer.
I have never heard of FreeNUX.
@rl_dane “Linux, because all distros userinterfaces are ahead of MacOs and Windows.” is missing as an option. Eg on KDE I dont have to google what to do if I want to add a new keyboard layout. Try that on windows. Good luck navigating a lot of empty space with confusing suggestion text to the right.
@rl_dane openbsd is my fav but honestly I don't care that much about the security. I just like how clean the man page are and how the whole system is easy to handle.
@rl_dane
After getting (rightfully) classified as a Linux user: Uhm Actually, QubesOS is more of a Xen distribution and while the VMs are all Linux by default they don't strictly need to be.
There are Android, Windows, MacOS, and FreeBSD boxes in my life too, but I don't think they really fit for this poll.
@rl_dane we're going to need receipts for the ,curently 9, people who picked the last option. I want to try these OSes 😁
@rl_dane Linux, because it doesn't try to sell me things.
Also going to answer how I interpreted the question before reading the answers:
I wish I could skip ahead in my transition to the part where my neck *isn't* the only part of me that grows beard
@rl_dane I'll get that darn Plan9 up and running before the poll ends and be the gorilla of neckbeards!
@rl_dane I'm not sure if it counts as "OS" but I had to choose the last option. 😂
@rl_dane one part Irix nostalgia and several parts "fuck all y'all fuckers"
@rl_dane Irix, 25 years ago
@rl_dane What about multiple choices? I use Windows, macOS, and Linux!
You pick the nerdiest/neckbeardiest one that you regularly use.
@rl_dane Windows then. I feel bad. Ha!
🍵 boosted@rl_dane I don’t see my option. I installed OpenVMS on a VAX today.
@rl_dane sadly no option to select all the ones I use
Use the right tool for the job
You select the one that is furthest down the list that applies to something you regularly use. So, for example, if you administer Linux for work, but have played around with Haiku in the past, but haven't booted Haiku in several days, you'd select the command line jockey option.
But if you keep Haiku loaded on a laptop at home to play with every few days, then you'd definitely select Haiku.
I forgot a technique for #polls that I figured out a little while back:
Post a description toot without a #poll, which says that the poll itself will be posted as a reply. Then post the URL to the poll itself in the description toot (just so it doesn't get buried).
Then the description toot can be edited to your heart's content without messing up the poll itself.
I wish I had remembered that trick today. XD
@rl_dane I miss the two first option.
* I'm doing everything on my phone -small screens are beautiful.
* I'm on my schools Chromebook, everything is computer now.
🍵 boosted@rl_dane I wish we could leave this tired old "corporate software is for normal people, open source is for disgusting sweaty nerds who don't go out" stereotype behind. It's just misogyny too.
Fair. We shouldn't uncritically propagate harmful sterotypes, that's a "duh."
I did mean it somewhat sarcastically/knowingly, but you're right.
@rl_dane I just felt called out as someone who contributed to Haiku. :P
Awww, the Haiku inclusion was actually my little love letter to that project!! 🥹
I should really re-think my heavily gendered sterotype usage, sorry.
@rl_dane All good! It's just that it's a bit silly in a world where big mainstream tech companies like Microsoft, X, Amazon et cetera are mostly now playgrounds of smug rich white men, while traditionally "neckbeard nerdy" projects like Debian have a relatively huge amount of women and other minorities contributing.
The roles kind of reversed.
@rl_dane
If I had to say, I am on my way to command line jockey, I guess? To me the command line is just a tool and sometimes the graphical tools are better for certain jobs. Even speedwise it is often faster to do things repeatedly graphically than figure out the perfect command line to batch do certain jobs.
As someone who grew up with really bad CLIs (8-bit micros), migrated to being a total GUI snob, and then discovered the joys of the (proper) command-line later in life,
The command line isn't always faster (a lot of times it is), but it's just so much more satisfying for most tasks.
99% of the time, I don't even use a file manager anymore, unless I need to visually show something to someone else that isn't familiar with the terminal.
The pointer is a more intuitive input device, but the keyboard is more efficient, methink. Again, it does depend on the task.
@rl_dane
Yeah, using a mouse pointer is definitely a lot more intuitive for me. And usually I don't really need the speed benefits of doing something in a command line.
This may be because we learnt how to use computers very differently, but for me at least it's often a lot more satisfying to do things graphically.
Though yeah it depends on the task, Every once in a while I'll have to do dumb things like take a bunch of powerpoints and extract the videos from them. For things like this, the command line is better since no one made a graphical app for it (or if they did, idk how to use it).
To each h/er own, I guess. I can think of a few things for which there's both a graphical and command-line way to do it, and in most cases, I prefer the command-line:
The only GUI that I do sometimes use among the above is GIMP, because there are times that I need to select colors visually to do image compression. Otherwise, I haven't touched Handbrake in years, Audacity in months, and I only use graphical file managers at work, and not very often. XD

@rl_dane I feel the bedrock of this poll would be a homebrew TTL computer running an OS written in a custom LISP dialect
[looks around, all guilty-like]
[raises hand]
except it was Forth.
It was custom hardware/software so that a model railway could figure out a graph of its own layout and then automatically route trains without crashing into each other. It didn't work very well but it was SO MUCH FUN! Kept me busy for a few months of Covid.
That's awesomesauce, and if you do anything totally custom like that, you have absolutely earned a spot at the end of the "pipeline."
Also, have you guys checked out #uxn (forgive me if I've already mentioned it; I don't remember who I've already told, haha)? It's a really neat forth-like assembler and "fantasy console."
It's a pretty sweet little ecosystem. I keep trying to put in more time to learning it.
Here's some resources:
Official site #1 Official site #2
Devine's "Weathering Software Winter" talk that gives a lot of background info
Sejo's excellent uxn tutorial
Sejo's "intro to uxn" video (may be outdated)
"Awesome uxn" (list of uxn resources, emulators, etc.)
@rl_dane
Who Is G-d ?
In some circles, "G-d" is a pious way of referring to God without spelling it out completely.
Another way of viewing it is that it's a reference to God without being as serious, so as to not offend the sensibility of both theists and atheists.
The phrase "mission from God" is also a reference to [The Blues Brothers], while simultaneously being a slant reference to TempleOS and Terry A. Davis.
@rl_dane
"G-d"? Are we self-censoring on the fediverse already now?
Not really, please see this reply: https://polymaths.social/@rl_dane/statuses/01KB3B1VDYXRDB60FHJBZSS8FD

Yes, corporate social media is easy. But whatever we build here, we can keep.
Yeah, it's taking some time - and I'm only one user! Dread to think what a larger instance may be out for.
Mine isn't running on the greatest of hardware, but CPU and memory aren't really being taxed. Right now with the amount of DB work, storage is really struggling.
And, of course, this is the reason I have a "backup" #snac instance XD

@mms
I thought about replying to this days ago, but forgot
But, something happened that made me think of this question, so here's my answer
It's VSCode, specifically VSCode, and not [just] because it's VSCode.
I have 2 clients that both use the same accounting system.
Making programmatic changes (show more fields, and some functions etc.) To this system is actually quite open and easy...
But... It requires VSCode. Or more specifically, a VSCode addon.
I used to be able to write things in VSCodium - just download the addon, manually install, go to work
But, that's now stopped. Microsoft don't release the manual download of the addon any more (for reasons, fat cat decisions), so I can't use VSCodium (probably possible, but not without an amount of work I'm unwilling to spend each update).
So, the addon is only available in VSCode - OK, fine, at least I can use VSCode in a semi-OK way on my PC...
Oh, nope, not only must the addon only be used on VSCode, it is also now only available for Windows.
So, basically, thanks to VSCode I cannot work productively, in an environment I am productive in, using tools I am productive with. Instead, I must remote desktop into a Windows PC to run the Windows VSCode version to get the addon that I must use to assist 2 clients.
VSCode is poison.

In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:
Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?
I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?
