Firefox will get AI controls to turn it all off

Quoting: CyborgZeta
Quoting: hardpenguinHow about you disable them by default, Mozilla, and have people unleash AI at their own peril -_-

This is dumb. So dumb.
They're providing the controls to turn it off, or turn it back on. What does it matter whether AI is already enabled by default?

I'm sorry, this just sounds a little silly to me. People, myself included, wanted the option to turn the AI features off. Alright, that's what they're doing. Now you insist it's off by default. Let's say they did that too, would you just turn around and say, "Well, there shouldn't be any AI to begin with!"
Absolutely, it's absurd to suppose they are going to develop new features and then make them all disabled by default for everyone.

They are providing a feature for those who want to disable all current and future AI features to do so with one click. It ought to be welcomed. I'd be surprised if any other mainstream browser follows their lead on this. It shows they know AI is a divisive issue and want to accommodate all users.

Quoting: grigiI would love to turn off "AI" features by default and then only turn the ones I need on manually.
I believe this will be possible with what they are offering. You can set the global AI toggle to off which will make all current and future AI features turned off and then you can manually override per AI feature the ones you want on.

If you don’t want to use AI features at all, the Block AI enhancements toggle disables current and future AI features and suppresses prompts. You can always re-enable individual features if you want.

Get ready for another adventure with The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon

Nice, I very much enjoyed the first two Darkside Detective games so will certainly play this one upon release. Decent puzzles with amusing dialogue mixed in.

I also note the first game is currently free to claim on Epic Games.

Raspberry Pi prices are rising due to RAM costs, plus a new 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 now available
1 Dec 2025 at 4:40 pm UTC

I can see that the market prices are rising which is bad for consumers but on the other hand I just checked what I paid in 2016 for my stick of 16GB DDR4 2400 MT/s and it was £66 then or equivalent to £92 in today's money accounting for inflation. Even with the price hikes DDR4 is still cheaper now than 2016. Sure if I was building today I'd rather buy DDR5, but I'm not building today as I'm still very happy with my current rig so DDR4 can't be that bad.

Maybe if the AI hype crash happens prices will plummet.

The Programming Games Humble Bundle is another sweet deal worth grabbing
9 Jan 2025 at 8:39 pm UTC Likes: 2

A brilliant bundle, I'd buy it if I didn't already own them! My favorite programming puzzle game is Shenzhen I/O and that was my first introduction to Zachtronics' games and it was a delight to discover that developer. If you like coding and puzzles they're the best. Human Resource Machine and 7 Billion Humans also great with a good music score I thought, sometimes I've put their music on in the background whilst I do real programming work :grin:

Nice recommendation, the demo sold it to me so on the wishlist.

The big hit medieval strategy game Manor Lords works well on Linux
29 Apr 2024 at 6:30 pm UTC

Reminds me of the game Medieval Lords [External Link] that I played as a kid. Both the concept and the name are quite similar! Manor Lords looks like its quite a bit more sophisticated though. Reckon I'll try it out once its released from early access.
