  • To be successful, Firefox should not only try to keep up with the competition, but also offer some unique features that would attract new users.

    I agree that LLMs are overhyped, but in my opinion they are quite good at summarising text. We all hate clickbait titles, and this feature has the potential to actually combat them. And what's unique about Firefox's approach is that it's truly private. No other browser offers this.

  • Extension members seems promising, but the way they are implemented seem kind of strange to me. I still need to create a static class to declare extension? Why not just get rid of class and declare extensions as "standalone" elements?

  • Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I'm used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D

    Automatically generated page summaries as an experimental feature of Firefox 139 nightly

    Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to ‘hear’ a real human voice.

    Yes, another one of "those posts". But tl;dr: In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of my OSS projects, I will be commercializing AutoMapper and MediatR. I did not post this on April 1st for obvious reasons. But first a little background on how I got to this point.

    What Will This Look Like?

    The short answer is "I don't know exactly". I'm working out those details now and will share them when I figure it out.

  • This should also be part of git repo (but maybe not downloaded through typical git clone as it might be too large though). Has developers of git ever considered doing this?

  • Imagine a website showing a weather forecast. Maintainers of this page are running a webserver and a service that analyse raw meteorological data to calculate tomorrow's weather. In exchange they are making money out of ads.

    Now there is an AI agent that enters that page on behalf of user, gets the forecast and show it back to user. User never sees an ad, maintainer never sees his revenue. How is that not stealing?

  • On the one hand this is good news, because by allowing stealing data from websites we would just financially kill those who produce legitimate data (e.g. news sites having articles stolen without receiving ad revenue as only bots visit them).

    On the other hand - AI tools will get dumber, which makes me sad because I personally hoped for having one day a supercharged assistant that reads and summarises Internet for me. Tools like Perplexity creating research on given topics looked very promising

  • Can someone explain to me, a person that did not have any Apple device ever, what do they mean by:

    easier device set-up (e.g. pairing).

    So you could not pair non-apple device with your Apple device? And seriously no smartwatch could work with iPhone other than Apple Watch?

  • If it wasn't for Spotify, I wouldn't know most of the artists I listen to now. They might receive little money from me listening to them, but it's still more than they would receive if I didn't knew about their existence.
