It’d be fine if that was the case. Right now if you don’t like it you’re still forced to read (and often review) AI generated rumblings, communicate with LLMs instead of humans when contacting support, accept AI-specific terms even you won’t use the AI part of a product, have data centers pollute your city and pay ridiculous amount of money for a stick of ram.

For a bit more control check out the alternatives list too. URLCheck is awesome

Equatorial guinea and the Philippines would like a word.

If you keep some tabs at specific places you know where they are. Some websites are so bloated that every action has a cost (looking at you jira) and having only 1-2 tabs of the site open and searching within it is so much more sloppy. When you find yourself with >20 important tabs you should split them to groups or multiple windows. But just having them open isn’t bad.

You don’t need to see the titles (and you can always see them with vertical tabs anyway). There are good cases for having many tabs open. It’s just that chrome is terrible at dealing with them.

Even without any extensions, there is a shortcut in Firefox to search and switch to a tab by typing % on the address bar

Some distros come with both pre-installed so you don’t really need to swap out anything. If it’s not pre-installed, I don’t know, you might be right and it won’t fix anything.

I’ve had issues with specific apps that just don’t support it, others that require installing more packages and others that I didn’t care enough to look into. That’s a significant enough number to take it into account when trying things.

Personal issues I’ve had and other questions I’ve seen online. It’s not necessarily wayland itself, it might be how other programs treat screen sharing in it. In any case it’s worth a try if it’s an easy change.

They weren’t using OneDrive either

Does this actually cause compatibility issues? If not, no need to explain

This might be wrong but I think many of screen sharing related issues actually come from wayland. If you’re on wayland and can switch to X11 on your current system I’d try that first before deciding on a new distro.

Also OBS studio with the virtual camera extension lets you use its output as a camera input in other programs so you can pass literally anything to the camera.

On my current mouse it’s the scrollwheel that’s slowly failing but middle click works fine. There’s also a box of non-functional mice in my house. Last time I checked it contained one mouse with broken middle click, one with broken left click and one with broken right click. So I guess I disagree with your theory.

Sorry, I don’t get the double negative. My point was that DeepL using Ai in general is not weird or bad by itself.

The screenshot doesn’t claim to use LLMs though. AI could be anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok I see what you mean. On mobile it still opens the translator but on desktop it’s pretty annoying.

As stupid as that home page looks, DeepL is one of the services that was already using “AI” and it’s a valid use case. Has the functionality actually changed?

Just gonna leave this here (for desktop at least): https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed

So that’s how you really get Dick from Richard. TIL

It isn’t unreadable, you just need to keep in mind that the first line will be used as the post title. The Firefox community gets many Mastodon posts and most look ok
