It's amusing the vocal virtue signalling by those that barely contribute anything to Lutris :D

Author rebuttal is blunt? possibly bit having tk deal with all this "want want want complain want" must be exhausting AF...

What is amusing that evryone is up in arms when there is a push to have "on device OS level age verification" and not so long ago everyone was "hurr-durr no to 'web-based verification'!!! it should be on device!!!" :DD

Quoting: geckofish52Just to add another voice here...

I'm happy to see responsiveness to the community and what seems to be a measured middle ground. I've been a happy Firefox user for a long time and will continue to do so.

Syncing my browser data across devices and powerful extensions on Linux + Android, love it.

This, very much this. For better or for worse AI is here to stay with us so adding it here and there is not "the end of the world", especially now with global killswitch.

It seems that there is no pleasing of some but Mozilla/Firefox has to care about a broader audience than a tiny yet super vocal minority.

Also: all those Firefox "forks" would probably cease to exist once Firefox is gone so keep that in mind…

This is brilliant! This sort of compatibility/performance feedback will go long way.

IMHO would be great to also add option to enable sending hardware/software information more or less "permanently" and not only when prompted to submit it… would give better overview of the echosystem.

Quoting: _wojteksadly tiny but super vocal butt-hurt minority

Duckduckgo did a survey [External Link] asking their userbase if they wanted AI features. They closed the poll after a week or so, 175K votes counted, and 90% said no, they don't want AI.

Yes, it's very skewed - DDG's userbase is privacy-focused. But "tiny but super vocal butt-hurt minority" is a shitty and antagonistic way to describes people's perfectly valid dislike of this planet-burning technology.

@Eike summed it up perfectly.

Also, you yourself point only to DDG survey where most likely only those hell-bent on anti-AI crusade participated (because it was shared in certain places) :D

Probably the most reliable thing would be to force the survey to all Fx users to get the correct trends but the… they kinda already have that and it's called tellemetry and they can see if the current AI features are used or not and they probably make the decission based on that.

Of course the same vocal minority was butt-hurt about telemetry back in the day and gladly turned it off just to voice their disconent later on.

All in all, Mozilla DID address the issue in a quite nice and elegant way.
The setting will be permanent and apply to all feature AI features.

It will probably be featured in "what's new" after the update so everyone affected will be able to turn it off. Why the heck still complain about what they did???

I know! Firefox, with each update should present a new-tab-page forcing users selecting all new additions. You know - some may not want new JS api! Or CSS adding animations! /s

haters gonna hate, mozilla/firefox addressed the issue and now they can move on. sadly tiny but super vocal butt-hurt minority will spam everywhere their "dissatisfaction"

Quoting: MinoscerebI like the look of Heroic, it's a lot better designed visually than Lutris and feels more user friendly, but since Lutris can run all the stores Heroic can, and at least for GoG has access to lots of useful scripts for things like mods or just actual playability, I don't see a use case for Heroic for myself. I'm curious where other people fall on this though. Have I missed something about Heroic?

This is so curios. For me one of the most annoying thing about Heroic is… it's UI. It uses custom "webby" stuff instead of using native OS controlls like Lutris and it makes it's Look&Feel utterly annoying… Also Lutris just works better overall

Quoting: dpanterSnap? Uh, no. No thanks.

Cannonical is just annoying… What's more - it's not like they created something exceptionally new, they just want to ride the hype wave on something that mostly other created…
