OK so apparently #Firefox 147 is the last one I'll have and use.

    @jon @Vivaldi I love you guys. You're one of the bright spots in the tech world.Giving users what they want, rather than what you think they (should) want. Amazing that this isn't the norm, but it's not. Thank you Vivaldi for daring to be different 💪

    well today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is a bit bittersweet.Back at the beginning of the month, I plotted all the projects on my remind(1) calendar, grouping various categories together. Two days ago, lynx¹, yesterday was Dillo², and today it was supposed to be #Firefox. Yet this week has been full of sad Firefox news, with them ignoring users' desires to keep AI rubbish out of the browser (or at least relegated to an optional plugin)The browser that I started using as Netscape, grew to be Communicator, that kinda became Phoenix, then shed the non-browser functions off to Thunderbird (already got mentioned³) and became Firefox. Despite the rise of Chromium/Chrome, I still use Firefox as my daily driver web-browser for the modern web (rather than the *pleasant* web where lynx & Dillo serve me much better).What used to be a "User Agent" has become something that no longer puts the *user* first. 😢 So in this time of wishes and gifts, I wish that the Firefox leadership team would take a strong look at what they're doing and change their course.⸻¹ https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@gumnos/115735221496156078² https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@gumnos/115740808963678498³ https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@gumnos/115684337296307283

    Before you contribute code, make sure you can explain the code and explain your reasoning for going down a certain path. Please don't trust a computer to be able to think better than you.And please just type your messages yourself, I don't mind bad grammar, I still find it easier to understand humans than LLMs.We're all here to try to help each other, make the world a better place. Let me talk to you please, let me try to understand you, so we solve a human problem, not a machine one :)
