  • Do you understand how free software works? Did you read the post? I'd love to clarify, but I'm not going to rewrite the article.

  • I wonder if the whole purpose of promotion of FOSS by big companies was, long-term, this. Finding some way to abuse openness and collect for free the resource that becomes digital oil in the next stage, but only for those who own the foundries - computing resources for ML, that is.

    Even if it wasn't, it seems that they are perfectly fine with it now.

  • Totally, but the Disney employees (or the contractors) got paid. I think it is particularly galling when the piracy happens to people who are working for free.

  • Sorry, what are you talking about? What browsers offer more than a chatbot window? Even Perplexity's browser is just a chatbot window on top of Chromium.

    Disco is the only one where I've seen something beyond that.

  • Interesting UI, terrible font rendering on Linux at least.

  • Why not talk about that stuff instead of AI? That's on the new CEO, not the community.

  • You got more with Firefox in 2025 | The Mozilla Blog

  • AI Chatbots

    Unlike browsers that tie you to one default assistant, Firefox lets you choose the AI chatbot you want, right in the sidebar. Keep your preferred assistant within reach, get quick answers without switching tabs, and browse the way that works best for you.

    Perplexity

    We integrated Perplexity as a secondary search option, offering conversational answers with citations you can trust. It’s a powerful alternative for people who want direct, verifiable information without digging through long pages of results.

    Mozilla started working with the copyright pirates this year. Fantastic.

  • Copyright isn't awesome, it is useful. The whole basis of open source is built on the concept of copyright (copyleft), so alignment with copyright isn't "sudden", it is fundamental.

  • So what is that, a build of Chromium with no Vivaldi features? What is the point exactly? I can download Chromium by itself already. I'll even get edit history, unlike the big tarball that Vivaldi gives me.
