Yes but the language ecosystem is a moving target

Forever? When every new python version breaks compatibility with the previous?

Get out of here with your level headed take. The pitchforks already have been distributed and it has been decided Mozilla will sell the data asap! /s

It’s the same in most of Europe afaik. You can’t be filmed as a primary subject without consent. For example, I can photograph you in the background of a monument or in nature, without having to ask your consent.
It’s the same for dashcams, you are filming the road primarily not the pedestrian.

Edit: even better, in France (and iirc in Belgium too) I can photograph you as a primary subject without consent, but I cannot reproduce or distribute the picture of you without your consent.
Look up “Droit à l’image” if you want to know more.
Edit2: Hungary seems to have laws like I initially described, so taking pictures of videos in public should be okay as long as more than 1 person is visible on it.

Please never develop any software for other humans without first developing any kind of compassion or empathy for others.
You are the stereotypical nerd that doesn’t understand people may have different needs than you, so I have to justify how a feature relating to accessibility can be useful…

Being technically something implies it’s not really or to be considered apart from the group.

The “gimmick” is proposing alt text based on the image when editing PDFs. I don’t see how it’s unhelpful. I’m not into editing PDFs in firefox, but I do use it to read them.
Inciting editors to include an alt text for accessibility seems like the ideal use case for this tech. The human still has to review and approve the generated text.
Unless I missed something as I cannot try the feature now, it seems to me a great application of ai, to augment humans in their work, and to a useful cause.
Image classification and description is “old” tech now, and I already use it in my work to auto tag images for editors to find more easily later. Nothing crazy.

It is really difficult to implement in the first place, and the standards evolve constantly.
Some argue it may not be possible to build new browsers anymore

Not all these arguments no.
You’re defending your position that this AI feature is not really AI so it’s ok, but the others are all bad because of the two letters of the devil.
Still AI is a marketing term, always has been. AI in the form of machine learning has been around for more than a decade, and lots of things already use that.
The knee jerk reaction of tech circles saying mozilla will sell their soul because there is no “kill switch” is so fucking dumb. Even more dumb is thinking no other users may want any of these features. Unless you work at Mozilla, and/or do product research for browsers, chances are you most likely have no idea how people will want to use these features in their day to day.
Even working on one’s own product in a company, few really understand the users needs and wants, especially tech persons.
I can guarantee you, the weird gimmick you don’t understand is crucial to some.

And?
Because the term AI was not in vogue at the time, even though it’s clearly the same technology, it doesn’t count? It’s literally packaged under the same umbrella now.

Anyway, the big issue is still tech ppl thinking their viewpoint is the only one valid, and that every generic user will have the same exact needs as them.

What a load of horse shit. You don’t have any clue what you’re talking about and it shows.

Ssshhh don’t say that too loud or the “no one wanted this” crowd may hear you. They would be very scared if they could read.

I doubt the transistor on a GPU wafer break after 100k cycles, as they run at gigahertz frequencies, some cycle billions of times a second.

And you can take approximately 3 seconds to click on the kill switch if you so desperately need not to see an AI button somewhere.
Like I can understand (and I agree) the stance on AI in general, but this is just a knee jerk reaction. Your browsing experience is 99.9% unchanged even if there is a button somewhere…

Nobody wanted AI as a feature

This is false, you don’t speak for everybody and represent a small vocal minority of users.

It already is a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Have you looked at what is inside a modern browser? It’s not 1999 anymore, and tons of related stuff is embedded in a browser.

So if you never press the AI button, it’s never enabled. It is opt-in in the strictest semantic sense.
What you say here applies for things that run automatically, like the anonymous usage reports, which is opt out, not for things you activate yourself.

Tauri doesn’t automatically make apps perform good. Easy and common pitfalls still can make it go to a crawl just like electron.
Yaak is an example of a tauri app that performs horribly, and that can’t reach a satisfactory 30fps on modern hardware. The issue is within how tauri interacts with the js world and syncs state.

I saw a listing for 1340€ for 96gb. Prices are truly insane

It’s more akin to having your CD/DVD library visible through the window. All while asserting it’s better to write your info in a place that already has been broken into 3 times.
Sure jellyfin could do better, but the impact is overblown while literal PII has been stolen from Plex… Sure Sony could see you have Avengers on your instance. Could they prove you got it illegally just from that?

Interesting that you assume this is the list of taken things when that wasn’t what was disclosed to us. And Plex has been absolutely forthcoming with this in the past

While we quickly contained the incident, information that was accessed included emails, usernames, securely hashed passwords and authentication data.

They do give what has been taken, tho not the complete list so what exactly is anyone’s guess. By authentication data I assume the history of logins. What I listed is nearly literally what they said.

Literally everyday since those attack vectors are actively open right now and have been open for 5+ years (jellyfins whole lifetime) and proof of concepted for the developers that whole time.

That’s not exploitation nor any proof of any data being leaked. Plex was hacked three times, not theoretically like jellyfin, but 3 actual times their service was breached and hackers stole data…
You do you and keep using it if that makes you feel good, but saying jellyfin is less secure than Plex at this point is laughable.
