What cost?

I’m arguing to convert to metric when posting on an international forum, because metric is the international standard.
But I’ll have you know that I often also post Imperial units when posting things that are in metric, because I know there are also a lot of Americans here. I’ve seen others do the same.
But Americans very rarely do that. Hence the claim about American arrogance.

Finally to make the car show bar instead of psi and use it for recommended tire pressure has no extra cost.

This is especially bad in USA, but usually a bit better in European countries that have representation of the unions on the board.

I must admit I’m a bit of an VW fanboy, I just bought an ID.4 and I am waiting for it be ready to drive home.
It is such a brilliant piece of engineering in so many ways, I am very impressed with what VW achieved with that car.
Goddam the driving of that car is excellent! 😀 😎

Seems to me it did the job, maybe not as accurate, but it’s a way simpler system and less error prone.

It’s not just different, it’s less intuitive, and it’s based on other obsolete units, and it is only used by a minority.
I bet if some other country had their own national standards of measurement plastered all over the net, that you would be pretty annoyed by that too.
But somehow USA doing this shit constantly is OK because AMERICA!!

Americans are fucking annoying with their constant special pleading, it’s OK to post psi or other imperial units, but for fucks sake post the metric units too that the majority is using.

The VW ID.4 uses actual/expected rotational speed to calculate pressure.
No sensor to ruin there.

This Imperial shit is getting ridiculous.
And the arrogance of expecting the rest of the world to understand it without converting to a more widely used standard is astounding.
PSI = pounds per square inch.

WTF Really? Anybody is using that? POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH!!! That’s what you are going with??
Instead of the much simpler and way more intuitive bar which is based on atmospheric pressure.

For anyone not using tribal Imperial 24 psi is 1.65 bar and 50 psi is 3.45 Bar.

Epic Games CEO and Fortnite boss Tim Sweeney:

everyone will have to 'fess up to using it eventually as AI will become “involved in nearly all future production.”

Once again Epic games act like the moronic villains they are.

Or maybe just “I’m sorry, you should go get tested.”

That’s a good one. 😀

Yes, but among friends is different.

I don’t give a shit about such insults.
They just show I’m facing another moron, which I can beat intellectually with hardly any effort.
How about a reply along the lines of, OK I’m sure she enjoyed that, how was it for you to fuck a 60 year old woman?
Or alternatively: Oh were you the impotent one she mentioned? It’s easy to throw back an insult twice as bad.

I was once in a bar in the winter where some local was trying to be harass me because we had signed up for the billiard table.
I was wearing a IMO very cool scarf, and the local walked up to me, feeling my scarf and asking if my mom had made that for me.
And I responded (truthfully) that no, it was not my mom but my sister who had made it.
He had no idea how to respond to that, because I had at once told him that no, I am not a mothers baby, but I do have a nice family. So yes indeed I probably did come from a better family than him.

He was at a complete loss for words, and simply walked away, because he had no response to that.

Insults about family are moronic, some random stranger don’t know your family anyway, so it’s 100% made up and not worth getting offended over. On the other hand it shows an infantile mentality that can be easily manipulated if you keep your cool.

It’s so easy to throw such shit back at them doubly, and they tend to get confused, because they know they were beat with next to no effort.

It doesn’t translate anything automatically, you have to choose translation manually for a site in a foreign language. It ALWAYS shows the original first.
So that’s complete and utter made up bullshit.

this would be nice if it were opt in, I guess.

It doesn’t do shit if you don’t use it, why would you want opt in for that?
The same goes for the other features.

Delivering total nonsense, with complete confidence.

Just like a real CEO.

Because Mozilla isn’t the scumbag company the blog tries to paint them as.

They won’t, it’s a stupid blog that is making shit up.

Your source is a blog with a stupid anecdote from Japan as its main feature. Why should I take that seriously?

standard approach with such a controversial feature

The “controversial” features:

1. Alt-text generation: Creates descriptions for images, which is particularly useful for making PDFs more accessible to screen readers.
2. On-device translation: Translates web pages without sending your content to external servers, protecting your privacy.
3. Smart tab groups: Analyzes open tabs to suggest names and group similar ones together to help with organization.
4. Link previews: Generates key points from articles to give you a quick summary.

These are all very modest in requirements even on an old phone. And the use is actually zero unless you use the function.
AFAIK all further AI functionalities are all optional.

Number one is particularly useful for blind people, a group that absolutely needs screen readers to work well.

So again stop the bullshitting, just because you are bullshitting yourself too doesn’t make it better.
Either that or mention just one single specific function you “needed” to disable and why.
IMO your misunderstood whining is annoying.

Personally I use the translation function a lot, it is both very handy and very good, and I have used it for both Russian and Ukrainian and Chinese, and it works surprisingly well.
But maybe you speak every language on the planet, or find it more convenient to use an online translator, leaving unnecessary extra digital trails and requiring extra bandwidth?
How you don’t find that feature useful is beyond me???

I don’t trust the corporate overlords to do what’s right long term.

You don’t have to, if Mozilla really screwed the pooch with Firefox it would be forked. Debian used to do it with IceWeasel over a petty thing like the copyright of the Firefox logo, which 100% has always been justified, and is necessary to distinguish between an official Firefox and a fork.

The AI bullshit features as you call them are completely non invasive, I always use the newest Firefox, and I never even noticed those features.

Stop the bullshitting and complaining over things are completely irrelevant. and will never ever have any negative influence on anything you do with Firefox.
I’m so sick of this lame community doing this over and over and over again, and it always turns out to be nothing.
