@nuintari I hopped off a year later, when they integrated altman.

@nuintari Honestly, last nice thing was 10.6...

@nuintari It’s not that bad, now

@nuintari I don't have a Mac. My only Apple device is an older iPad which I love dearly. It upgraded to IOS 26 and I can hardly tell what's new. I don't even use anything on it other then Libby for reading, and Netflix. Other than that all the other apps are useless. Why would I ever play games on an iPad when I have an XBOX or a PC? D'oh!

@nuintari I wish I could downgrade.

I've made it slightly less annoying by enabling the "Reduce Transparency" accessibility option, but that comes with its own drawbacks.

Other accessibility options that affect Liquid Glass in their own unique ways (and come with their own unique drawbacks): "Increase Contrast" and "Reduce Motion".

@nuintari @odd Doesn’t matter to me. No bid deal either way.

@nuintari I was pretty hyped about it at the start on iOS, just because it felt fresh. They ironed out a lot of problems, but it does sadly have some issues that I can’t deny.

On macOS I refused to update for a long time, yet I recently did and it‘s fine.

@nuintari Feels like a gimmick. Doesn't have any impact on usability that I can tell, thus it boils down to preference... I could think of so many practical things they should have focused on instead

@nuintari Hate it. But even more than the playschool bright color palette the thing and annoying white outlines, is that the damned watch now assigns grades for sleep like I'm supposed to be some kind of child that needs to be coerced into naptimes. Today I bought an analog watch. Soon phone, soon....

@nuintari "i dont care" / "you get used to it" / its not worse than a lot of other designs they made

@nuintari https://www.change.org/p/allow-ios-users-to-disable-liquid-glass-effect

@nuintari I hate it. How can I get rid of it?

@nuintari I have an iPad still on iPadOS 18 until I'm forced to upgrade it because I don't like what I've been reading of iPadOS 26

@nuintari I need to tolerate it, as the only alternative to Mac in my company is Windows and god forbid I use a copilot OS.

@nuintari reducing it with accessibility settings where possible - thus not getting angry while using my phone (nor does any of my close relatives - heck - they didn't even realise anything changed 🤷‍♂️)

@nuintari
What is it?
Don't need it.

@nuintari
I hate it, but i am forced to use it. Most detremental are all the functions that do not work propper anymore.

It feels like as if android and windows had a baby.

@nuintari @stefano I’ve left Liquid Glass default, I support about 800 iPhones so I need to « know ». It’s just terrible. My wife only updated yesterday. Today, « what the fuck did they do? »

@siosm congratulations!! This is most certainly well deserved, although I'm sure the other candidates were also wonderful.

@siosm wow, congrats!

@siosm Congrats!

@year_progress

😭

@year_progress Happy new year 🥳

@year_progress

A blank slate!

@year_progress Reset.

@year_progress stop spreading disinformation 😡. In my hometown we are still in the big 2025

@year_progress
I think your illustration is inaccurate, the year is new yes, but it’s made up of the old year so it’s always a crapshoot or a coin toss .

@year_progress holy shit a post from the future!

We are back to Zero, huh? Better make this Journey worth it 🎊.

@year_progress 100% = 0% is kinda philosophical haha, believe they both send at 00:00 so the end is simultaneously the start... And vice versa.

@year_progress excellent work @ret

@awfulwoman my family does both, big Christmas dinner on the 24th, big lunch on the 25th.

I’m on team somewhere in between. #Christmas

Alt...

Christmas dinner, looking excellent

Alt...

A plate of Christmas food.

@awfulwoman Morning Christmas cookies and cinnamon rolls.

@Tattooed_Mummy I chose wealthy because I could use the money to achieve the other options (well... most of them)~ 🙂

@Tattooed_Mummy i think all these options are related, so i would just cut some billionaires' money

@librewolf Thank you for this clarification!

@librewolf
Nothing that can't be disabled in about:config. Namely anything beginning with browser.ml and extensions.ml

@librewolf based based based based based

@librewolf 👍🏾

@librewolf 👍👍👍

@librewolf Phew! Thank you!! 🙏

Is there full human readable list of FireFox AI feature @librewolf disable? Or list of all disabled features

@librewolf sometimes AI feature come so fast you can't think of all of them in time. Understandable.

@librewolf
I'm testing librewolf now and it is wonderful.

Sidenote: It needs an import button for firefox extensions or something since is cruel to add 10 extensions by hand.

Thank you for doing this. For a better tomorrow.

@librewolf Gracias 👍👍

@librewolf how is the link preview feature GenAI related?

As far as I can imagine, this just requests the page and looks at the meta tags to show an embed-style widget. (Like what services like Mastodon, Discord, and co. also do.)

@librewolf Librewolf for Android?

@librewolf@chaos.social

@librewolf does on device translation count as genai?

@librewolf thank goodness. I am glad to have an official response because moving to something like Vivaldi at this point just seems like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

@librewolf maybe it slipped through, but mozilla uses local llms for the translation feature in firefox and is activated per default on librewolf at debian.
I think at least disabling the feature by default in the settings would be neat. to conserve the battery life on my device i want to avoid to run an llm on my old laptop to translate a webpage. I think also most people are unaware of how exactly the feature works.

more info on this: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/firefox-117-introduces-local-translations.tuxedo

@librewolf
Thanks for the sick browser btw

@librewolf bofh has a good side in keeping things clean and human based, much appreciated

@librewolf Many of us are waiting/hoping for a #netbsd and an #openbsd version of #librewolf.

@librewolf First: Thanks for all your hard work over the years.

While it’s great to have this social post clarification, it would help a lot going forward too if this ’No AI’ stance was posted somewhere on the website like ‘No Telemetry’ is under Main Features so it is more discoverable. Both Waterfox and Vivaldi have their No AI stances posted on their website blogs:
https://www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-here-response-to-mozilla/
https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/vivaldi-wont-allow-a-machine-to-lie-to-you/

@librewolf "we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf"

This commitment should be prominent on the front page of your website! I went looking for this and didn't find it, but eventually found this post on Mastodon.

You have a great opportunity right now to win over people who don't want pseudo-"AI" in their browser! (like me)

@librewolf Yeah, I think it might be time for yet another internet rando to make the leap to LibreWolf.. >_>

@librewolf It would be nice to see these features become optional instead of removed entirely, or maybe integration with LM Studio added so you can bring your own models.

I hate AI slop flooding the internet, but there are genuine uses for LLMs like asking questions about what you are reading, and research because they can read 20 articles and forum threads to find information you need in 5 seconds when it would take you 20 minutes.

@librewolf you need to have a mobile app

@librewolf love librewolf . Keep up the great work

@librewolf I knew this had to be the case! I knew we could count on LibreWolf to keep at it.

The fundamental issue, of course, is not enough devs and not enough spoons to deal with the torrent of crap from Mozilla as they ramp up the self-inflicted suicide insanity and that has me worried. LibreWolf and several others will keep doing their best, but they're fighting against lunacy on steroids.

@librewolf

Happy new year 2026!

This said: Things like in the image will be removed (not only in "about:config", but in LW's code?

Alt...

about:config of my LibreWolf installation on Debian 'forky' (testing), LibreWolf vers. 146.0.1-1

@librewolf And how long do you estimate to need for removing all at least current AI stuff? There already seem to be quite a lot included, what I found some minutes ago in about:config. The keys preceded by "browser.ml." contain - as mentioned - a lot of surely for _ m a n y _ users unwanted stuff.
Thanks for a possible reply

@catsalad
Väri.

@catsalad both depending on how English or American I am feeling, and who my audience is. 🤣

@catsalad english

@catsalad b l a c k

@catsalad I prefer the more colourful British spelling, but I'm used to the simpler American version as well, due to CSS.

@catsalad bunt.

@catsalad kuhler

@catsalad On the one hand, I think the last option was supposed to be "a secret third thing", but on the other hand I love adding a comma so it's "a secret, this thing".

@catsalad I prefer “The correct way or the English way,” but I imagine that would get some people as upset as placing gravy on your biscuits or microwaving your tea.

@catsalad coulour

@catsalad I'm a recovering American in Australia nearly 30 years. My spelling depends on my audience. I use 'colour' for Aus readers, 'color' when I'm speaking primarily to Merkins.

@catsalad I tend to use colour, though not entirely consistently.

I largely learned to read & spell from older books written in UK English despite living in the US. So after spending far too many years trying & failing to fully switch to American English, I gave up and went with what's more natural for me - UK English (and generally older forms).

So, I'm weird.

@catsalad

depends on context. ;)

@catsalad shouldn't there be geographical answers? I feel like this is a test of what % of your readers are British/Canadian...

@catsalad I was raised on "colour" but chose to use simpler and more consistent spellings, so use "color" now.

@catsalad Colour (British spelling) Color (American spelling).

@catsalad What about centre, metre, theatre?

@catsalad
How do I spell "Color, CatSalad"?
C - A - T - S!

@catsalad couleur (i'm french)

@catsalad Despite being American, colour. I decided several years ago upon the realisation that a bunch of apps and websites wouldn't let me set my date and time format to my preferred ones unless I swapped my locale to UK English that it was more internally consistent for me anyway, since more of the planet seems to use British spelling than American spelling.

@catsalad kaler

@catsalad kolour (i use KDE)

@catsalad

"culler" - each time I go through my accumulation of digital pictures, and delete the uninteresting ones to free up storage space.
🤪

@catsalad Color was the way some of England spelled colour before spelling was unified. The first English "settlers" landed with the antique spelling, back in England spelling was unified and the rest is history.

@catsalad I set my devices to en-GB (because mm/dd/yyyy is dumb) and got used to colour.

@catsalad I'll abstain as my vote would be cancelled out by @luke

@catsalad My spell checker can yell all it wants, it's "colour". Also, grey. I don't care *what* the spell checker says.

@catsalad coulor

@catsalad Depends on nationality of character speaking (UK characters use "colour", USA characters use "color") and where the story is set...

@catsalad I prefer blood spells over color spells, but you do you.

@catsalad
I’ve done it both ways all my life, but when I wrote something recently for an English paper, I was corrected and told to spell it the “american” way 😹 (which is “color”, if anyone is wondering 😹)

@catsalad "Colour" is the standard spelling in Canadian English, and since I'm a speaker of Canadian English it would be illogical to use the American spelling. Besides, American cultural influence is widespread enough as it is.

@catsalad It depends on who I write to (I have colleagues all around the world), but when I have a mixed audience like here, I use the British spelling since end of 2024 (whereas I preferred the US spelling after Brexit...). After all, British English is the lingua franca of #Europe, my "country".

@catsalad It seems you're an European girl, as many of your followers prefer the British form of the word.

@catsalad couleur

@catsalad How do you spell that thing that armies do when they are moving about? [‘They are on …’] With or without an ‘o’?

@nixCraft
Call some scam support and let them try their tricks with this version of “Windows”.

@nixCraft argh flashbacks!

@nixCraft

Linux with XFCE 4 with Chicago95 theme. LOL. A rendition of everyone's favorite 1995 Microsoft operating system for Linux. If you set this for someone who complains about windows 11 they might end up liking this version of windows

Nearly as out of date as win 95 🙂

Last release of the joke October 2022

For something more up to date a person PPC created theming scripts for antiX

Mac Look and Windoze optices are easily available,

@TheBreadmonkey I guess that answers the question about whether he took it

@Tattooed_Mummy I was scheduled to fly for work in September before the impending US gov shutdown canceled my plans

@Tattooed_Mummy by over a year ago I mean 2007, but as it was a flight to my Mam’s funeral, I haven’t forgotten it

@Tattooed_Mummy my last flight was back in March this year and I will by flying to England next year.

@Tattooed_Mummy Not since the plague started. Nobody appears to be offering a guaranteed zero covid flight.

@Tattooed_Mummy I’ve noticed that some people even say they hate flying, which means they’ve flown so much that they’re tired of it. For me, I’m still waiting for the day I’ll see if I can also fly. I always want to connect with others, learn from them, and share knowledge together

@Tattooed_Mummy Last time I flew was 2011.

A bit profligate that year though, two trips to the States and back.

@Tattooed_Mummy Over a year, but just barely. A once-a-year family-related trip, not holiday-related.

@Tattooed_Mummy Almost exactly a month ago and I'll be forced to go back to the US in two months until I can score a longer visa.

Or marry a cute French woman, but I'm not holding my breath.

(Edit: changed 'girl' to 'woman' so it sounds a little less creepy)

@Tattooed_Mummy to England and back December-January 2024-2025! And hopefully not flying again for several more years 😬

@Tattooed_Mummy 1997

@Tattooed_Mummy I should be flying yearly to see my family (13Mm away), but I'm not even doing that :-[

@Tattooed_Mummy The problem with living on an underpopulated island in the middle of nowhere is that the only way of visiting family more than a long day's drive away is either to fly or to take a notoriously unreliable boat.

@Tattooed_Mummy Three years ago when we went to Sicily for a trip. I hate flying and avoid it whenever I can. But that time it was a gift for my son and he wanted me to come with him.

@Tattooed_Mummy @NaClKnight 2018, to the Philippines, for work.

@Tattooed_Mummy friend is nagging me to visit her in the US*, and my brother found a review of an ocean liner from the view from seat 61 blog.. it started with "this is not a cruise" I thought that looks like a cruise.. apparently ocean liners are not cruise ships, being lower in the water and more streamlined. I'm struggling to find a good comparison of the emissions between that and cruises, but since from what I can see cruises are about twice the emissions of flying for the same distance per passenger, I'm assuming ocean liners won't be better [edit: than flying]..

If someone who's more knowledgeable can correct me, I'd be ecstatic.

*I'm obviously not going to do that right now anyway because of the whole thing.

@Tattooed_Mummy
It was to FL to go on a cruise. A couple years b4 Covid. What I learned about how diseases spread led me to decide I’d never board a commercial flight again.

@Tattooed_Mummy
1980s

@Tattooed_Mummy before covid. I used to fly fairly regularly for conventions, now if I'm going anywhere I'm driving. Haven't been to a con in so long, god I miss conventions

@Tattooed_Mummy Over 25 Years ago - was first and last time. 😅

@Tattooed_Mummy Last year was the first time for years that I have flown. Partly because I think flying its terrible for the environment, but also because I hate flying.

It is liable to be a long time before I fly again.

@Tattooed_Mummy I'm getting forced to by work. I work for a startup, and while it's generally very good and we generally have a very good mission (I'm in industrial scale batteries, we can get rid of a lot of fossil based generators and whatnot), my bosses are of the "need to meet in person! It's better" mindset and I fucking hate it.

Not only do a I hate flying these day personally, there's the carbon, and also I got covid for the first time last trip.
(If I get covid again I'm done)

@Tattooed_Mummy @JonChevreau "so long ago..." i'm pretty sure it's more than twenty years. And that was, I think, only the third time in my life.

@Tattooed_Mummy
13 years ago.

@Tattooed_Mummy Definitely over a year ago: November 2018. I went to Las Vegas for a very big event.

I used to fly to NYC a couple times a year for work before that.

@Tattooed_Mummy

Caveat: I'm in a power chair and the airlines haven't caught up with, y'know, things like assistive devices that disabled people require. 🙄

@Tattooed_Mummy I’d actually like to fly again; I enjoy it although it’s a guilty pleasure. But my last time was over a decade ago and it may never happen again at this rate!

@Tattooed_Mummy
2000. I *already* found airport security and other runarounds related to flying disturbing, *and then 9/11 happened* and it all got worse.

@Tattooed_Mummy May 2019 was my niece's wedding. I don't think I flew again later that year (I used to do a lot of business travel so it gets blurry.) I definitely have not flown since Covid was recognized in 2020.

@Tattooed_Mummy Having lived 60-80% on the road for 35 years, I hope to never see the interior of an airport again in life.

@Tattooed_Mummy just back from a long holiday, so flew from Tokyo to London (15hrs). I fly to and from Copenhagen & London once or twice a month for work.

@Tattooed_Mummy
If the numbers were representative, that would mean on average, 2% of the population flies at least once per day. Another 3% flies at least once per week, summing up to 5% of the population flying more than once per week. And so on.

Putting all together, we'd end up at an average of about 10 flights per person per year — at least.

I find the number crazy high.

@codemonkeymike The big things I'd look for is coreXY and auto-leveling (both of which that has). I've not used this specific brand, but it looks like a good feature set for the money.

I can vouch for this one https://store.creality.com/products/k1c-3d-printer which is similar but a bit more (it's almost always on sale for $350-400, even though the rack rate is much higher).

@ncopa might make sense, people with lunar lake would be able to switch to it, most of the lunar lake fixes are post 6.12.

@almalinux there doesn't seem to be a place for ux designers in open source... it's mostly solving tickets

@almalinux I don't have the faintest idea of computer programming.

@almalinux I could answer all of those. My job involves developing open source software and I have done a few personal side projects, but the other constraints (time in particular) mean that anything outside work is being put aside. One other issue is Google's demands for developer registration and ID - I'll stop developing rather than hand that over. I'd like to work on Pebble software if I could.

@almalinux Is opening an issue on Github considered being a contributor?
