Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News show, in which #Mozilla yet again shoots itself in the foot...
And here is the audio version https://podcast.thelinuxexp.com/@tlenewspodcast/episodes/firefox-makes-all-the-mistakes-more-wayland-work
I see no reason to use Firefox right now. Switch to Librewolf or Waterfox or think about Vivaldi or Brave.
@thelinuxEXP after all these times I do wonder if there is even a foot left to shoot 
🇪🇺
@thelinuxEXP I’d love to have your videos on Nebula. Did you ever had the opportunity to join?

@thelinuxEXP I find the ai hate a bit overblown. Sure, it makes mistakes, yes, running it without privacy issues is costly. But 9/10 brave/google/ddg searches the ai summary gives me the approximate information that I need. Hating AI for its mistakes is like hating Newtonian physics because technically Einstein... Would love a more balanced take on all the AI stuff.
@SpaciousCoder78 @thelinuxEXP stick to firefox or firefox fox based browser like librewolf or waterfox.
Switching to chrome based browser because firefox is doing IA is nonsens, it's, at least, worst for chrome
@SpaciousCoder78 @thelinuxEXP librewolf can synced with the firefox account yes, i did it. Waterfox i don't know
@SpaciousCoder78 librewolf is firefox with some tweaking.
But stay to firefox is fine too, disable the options you don’t want
@thelinuxEXP Salut Nick, bonne vidéo. Assez d'accord avec le fait que le point de devenir un browser IA est une mauvaise chose, et c'est une bonne chose que les extension généré à un %élevé avec de l,IA soit rejeté (je vois le code qu'il me sort des fois, breark). Sinon, il y a aussi le projet ladybird qui était intéressant (je veux pas lancer un débat ici sur les points de vue pimentés relatif à ses créateur par contre).
@hendrik @thelinuxEXP I find the AI hate underblown. It's wrong at least 45% of the time per studies, slows programmers down by 17%, consumes enormous resources that is driving up the cost of living for communities, does tremendous environmental damage, and was built by using other's work without consent.
All this so a tiny number of corporations could hype it up for stock gains and make the ultra wealthy even wealthier at the expense of a wide swath of regular people's jobs.
@reflex I initially read this as "overblown" and I was getting ready to furiously type, but yeah, you're right on the money here. I'm not denying there are useful use cases, but man is it unethical to build and use.
@hendrik "Approximate information" is the exact issue. You can get the exact information by cliking an extra link or 2. Approximate isn't better than what we already have, it's worse.
What I give IS a balanced take ;) My unbalanced take is that AI is mediocre tech for mediocre results, a solution to do badly what you people can't be bothered to do properly, an incitement to instant gratification at the cost of the environment, people, information, and licenses.
