It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use
As such, it’s marked as “unsupported” to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won’t help you with those issues.
The “NO AI” clause is conditional, though.
As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is “viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality”
unless the rampant ethical and data privacy issues around datasets are resolved via regulation.
Whilst they aren’t VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their “AI Detection” is backed by another, third-party AI, and it’s not transparent what said service is.
And to top it off, it’s a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again
it’s yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I’m not hopeful for Cara.
NPUs existed before recall and have other uses apart from that.
Generally, if your admin set something like that up, they will have instructions in their privacy policy.
Just FYI, SearX is dead. Long live SearXNG

FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn’t.
no I don’t believe a damn word of what apple’s gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it’s showing data that hasn’t been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the “recently deleted” depending on how long ago it was deleted.
no when I say “overwritten” I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.
I mean, to be completely fair, that’s how data storage works.
We cannot really just make data disappear, so we let it get overwritten instead
As per the MV3 Specification, it is supposed to remove some APIs.
Firefox included them anyways cuz they’re not assholes.
Manifest V3 changes capabilities and meta-data about extensions, including limiting lots of things that worsen the experience for AdBlock Users.
Google’s “cookie replacement” is Ad Topics, which collects your browser history and puts it into categories, sending those categories to websites.

it sucks but can you blame them?
For picking discord I very much can blame them, I figure it won’t be long until that goes down the drain too.
Just so you know, the actual source code for this project mentions both Jamulator and another project that did this for the N64.
…what did you get away with then? 🤔
Know what? That you just AI Generated this?
If anything, installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably reduces the risk of something happening to your phone, that’s kind of the point with having an Android distribution that maximizes security and privacy.
And because the installer is so simple that you just connect your phone, open a browser and hit three buttons, it’s really unlikely that you’ll accidentally brick your phone trying to install it.
