Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!
Ah, I missed that alt text specifically is local, but the point stands, in that allowing (opt-in) access to a 3rd party service is reasonable, even if that service doesn’t have the same privacy standards as Mozilla itself
To pretty much every non-technical user, an AI sidebar that won’t work with ChatGPT (Google search’s equivalent from my example previously) may as well not be there at all
They don’t want to self host an LLM, they want the box where chat gpt goes
There’s plenty of situations where even a contextless generated alt-text is a huge improvement on no alt-text at all
Mozilla isn’t in charge of the extension API, it uses Chromium’s WebExtensions API
The alternative is only supporting self hosted LLMs, though, right?
Imagine the scenario: you’re a visually impaired, non-technical user. You want to use the alt-text generation. You’re not going to go and host your own LLM, you’re just going to give up and leave it.
In the same way, Firefox supports search engines that sell your data, because a normal, non-technical user just wants to Google stuff, not read a series of blog posts about why they should actually be using something else.
Non-profit doesn’t mean you don’t make money, just that the money you do make doesn’t go to shareholders but instead back into the company
But the serious answer is because LGBTQ people have been systemically discriminated against in pretty much every country
Literally the next thing in my All feed is about the previous US president having a chill time with a man who proposed stoning gay people to death
You had me for a moment there
If you’re whistleblowing with information not otherwise in the public domain, I’d suggest contacting wikileaks or a trustworthy independent media outlet.
The Guardian, for example, has the securedrop platform at theguardian.securedrop.tor.onion
.
If you just have an opinion to express, the local authority probably isn’t really that interested in trying to compromise the encryption on your web traffic, unless they’re extremely authoritarian. A standard VPN and a burner account should be sufficient to keep your anonymity.
Unless you’re trying to mask your identity from your ISP, instance or government, I don’t really see how tor is useful here, given that you’re presumably posting on the clearweb anyway.
It’s hard to give specific useful advice, because you’re so vague about what you’re trying to post, and who you want anonymity from. If it’s just other users on lemmy, don’t bother using tor, just create a burner account and access it normally via the web.
Unsurprisingly, instances aren’t super keen on letting users access their platform via tor since it’s an effective method of ban evasion, and thus people will mostly be using it to post awful things they didn’t want in the first place.
Pop a pair on and report back to us
How is turning it off an improvement over lockdown? I was under the impression that the security impact is basically the same
What clock?
I assume the usual complaint, which is that it’s the one of the only major servers where tankies are prevalent.
That’s, of course, not to suggest that even a majority of its users are tankies or that there aren’t plenty of great communities there, but the users who are tankies seem to be almost entirely split between lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.

Just grab a reasonable priced bottle of (own brand?) limescale remover
Bag of breakfast tea, boiling water, splash of milk
There’s no improvement to be made on perfection
The issue is that cryptocurrency doesn’t really work without proof of work though, right? That’s the fundamental basis of how the Blockchain ensures correctness.
Ok 👍
