Yep, not something I've noticed.

Looking at the current status, it's a matter of "not turning it on" rather than "turning it off", even.

the Internet is embracing AI whether we like it or not

And if not, the feature gets removed again in a year or so. So far it doesn't really seem like it's in your face or anything, so 🤷

I think their main focus is on features. If you want fast, you might want to check out @organicmaps@fosstodon.org.

De pers staat zelf onder druk om aan waarheidsverwaarlozing te doen, omdat ze beticht worden van partijdigheid zodra ze zelf stelling nemen, via media (aka YouTube-kanalen) die actief het onderscheid tussen feit en fictie proberen te ondermijnen. Aangezien ze bestaan bij gratie van de consument of de politiek, zijn ze zo kwetsbaar, helaas.

I mean, there's that, but while there's rough consensus that a bit of inflation is a good thing for the economy, it's not undisputed fact, the exact target number isn't undisputed either, neither is whether it would be a bad thing if we just had inflation way higher than that, or how to measure inflation in the first place, and the benefits to the economy don't necessarily translate to a specific person's situation. So it's not necessarily just ignorance, and thus doesn't necessarily justify condescension.

I think they're saying that while it's good that things are getting worse at a slower rate, they're still getting worse.

Of course, one can argue about at what level of inflation things are still getting worse.

It's a great start, but needs some tweaking. Which I'm hoping is possible; there are a lot of cases where it's exactly what I need, and a bunch of cases where I don't want it, but I'm not sure whether it's possible to reliably distinguish those two cases. (e.g. I don't need it for music videos on YouTube, but for NotJustBikes videos it's great.)

Two realistic things that it really needs (and that I'm sure will come) are:

1. The ability to disable it for a single video (i.e. if it PiPs up, pop it back down without pausing the video), and
2. Activate when the window loses focus/gets covered by another window.

tl;dr Sounds like a feature I would sometimes want.

Yeah I think that's the point they were trying to make :)

I don't know if OP is talking about any specific measures, but in general, I know that Firefox is trying to strike a good balance with its defaults, making it as privacy-respecting as possible without causing half the web to break, or accidentally decreasing people's privacy.

Nevertheless there are projects like Arkenfox, Librewolf, or people manually messing around in about:config flipping flags like privacy.resistFingerprinting (lots of breakage there!), claiming that they increase privacy.

And of course to some extent they do, it's just that if, a month later, you try to modify a Google Doc and find out that everything is blurry, you'll have forgotten that you flipped that pref, and switch to a less private browser.

Yeah sorry, I meant the pay scales within my company - i.e. a colleague of mine moved from Germany to the Netherlands, kept the same job at the same level, and had to accept a 9% pay cut.

No that was a different poll. This one asked "do you want 'enhanced privacy' or a chatbot in the sidebar" which, of course, is a false dichotomy.
