Technology@lemmy.zip•Mozilla announces switch to disable all Firefox AI featuresEnglish
10·3 days agoThe new AI controls panel will also enable users to manage five AI-powered features individually: browser translations, alt text generation for images in PDFs, AI-enhanced tab grouping with suggested names, link previews showing key points, and sidebar access to chatbots (including Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral).
I’m glad for that. I don’t want most of these things, but the translation feature is very useful, runs locally, and only activates when I click it. I intend to keep it enabled and switch off the rest.

Haupteingang@feddit.org•Please consider skipping the Anubis check when a user is already logged inEnglish
1·4 days agoIt however stores sessions it has “seen” for 12h
Wow; that’s surprisingly short. That means I get hit with Anubis at least six times a day when I use three browsers, and eight times a day when I use four. I often do switch between devices throughout the day, so I think this explains it.
If it can’t be made login-aware, how about extending the session time to 24 or 48 hours? That would at least reduce the continual annoyances that some of us are now experiencing.

Linux@lemmy.world•Minor WTF: `librust-winapi-dev` wins the prize for the length of its "Provides" line under Debian's `apt`English
31·4 days agoLooks like that package was removed from Debian. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was due to not following Debian policy.

News@lemmy.world•Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics NowEnglish
12·4 days agoErgo saying “it’s aSsAuLt” is missing the point and hysterical, preaching to the choir.
You’re projecting a lot of tone and intent that doesn’t exist in my comment, nor in my view of the issue, and you’re doing it with a hefty dose of snark. That’s unnecessary, unhelpful, and unkind.
In future, you might consider multiple ways that other people’s comments could be interpreted, rather than leaping to assumptions that give you an excuse to criticise them and control the conversation.
Be well. Goodbye.

831·5 days agoexplicitly authorized law enforcement personnel to obtain Natanson’s phone and both hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it.
In other words, physical assault.
The need being served here is for an alternative to Google’s spyware, not for an alternative to Android.
The Android operating system itself is not a significant privacy problem. (It might seem like one because most Android distributions include Google Play Services, but without that, Android is pretty tame and very useful.)
It’s important to recognize that Android distributions without Google’s (spyware) Play Services are vastly better for privacy than the commercial Android distributions that ship on most phones. To overlook/minimize that difference by calling them “just” different Android distributions is misleading.

You can buy ARX on Steam now, but you don’t have to.

35·8 days agoUnfortunate headline. It seems to imply that Sanders would fund ICE if Noem and Miller were gone, but as we can see by reading the article, that alone would not be enough.
I’m glad Sanders is no pushover.

1·9 days agoFor books, I got more use from Harbison & Steele’s C: A Reference Manual than K&R. It has been a long time, though, so it’s possible that a great new book exists now.

No mention of Cantata, nor acknowledgement of Amarok’s recent revival. Whatever the reason might be for those omissions, this article doesn’t do a very good job of representing the state of linux music players.
