1989년 5월20일 중국 국무원은 대규모 민주화 시위가 열린 베이징에 계엄령을 내렸습니다. 그로부터 이틀 전, 중앙군사위원회는 쉬친셴 장군에게 베이징 진입 명령을 내렸지만, 그는 따르기를 거부했습니다. 이후 불복종 사건에 대한 재판이 열렸고, 이 내용을 담은 영상이 처음으로 공개됐습니다.

“역사 속 죄인 될 것”…톈안먼 시위 진압에 항명한 중...

‘천안문 시위 진압 항명’ 중국 장군, 36년 전 당시 “정치적 해결” 촉구

“나는 이것이 대규모 정치적 사건이고, 주로 정치적 수단을 통해 해결되어야 한다고 생각했다. (시위 진압에) 무력을 사용해야 한다면 위수부대와 공안, 무장 경찰이면 충분하다고 봤다. 군을 배치해야 한다면 베이징 외곽으로 이동시키는 게 좋겠다고 (지휘관에) 말했다.” 3

Based on the answers to this StackOverflow question and this blog post, here are the 16 (!!!) AI-related settings in new versions of Firefox that you'll want to disable/set to false, and that might be turned back on with each update:

- browser.aiwindow.enabled
- browser.ml.chat.enabled
- browser.ml.chat.menu
- browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
- browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge
- browser.ml.chat.page
- browser.ml.chat.shortcuts
- browser.ml.chat.sidebar
- browser.ml.enable
- browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
- browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
- browser.ml.smartAssist.enabled
- browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
- browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
- extensions.ml.enabled
- sidebar.notification.badge.aichat 

Enter "about:config" in the browser bar and then search for each of these and disable them, turn them off, or set them to false as appropriate.

Depending on which version of Firefox you have you may not have all these configuration options.

Check your smartphone browsers too!


How to disable all the AI features in Firefox to increase performance?

Long post

I've now had at least four people, two of whom self-identified as Mozilla employees, claim that the above list of AI features--which were suddenly and rapidly added over the last few releases of Firefox, and were "on" (true) by default--could easily be turned off by flipping one master kill switch. This is not true, but folks keep claiming it or suggesting it anyway.

Here's a post from an official Firefox Mastodon account suggesting such a master kill switch does not exist yet, but will be added in a future release:

https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/115740500373677782

That's not as bad as it could be. It's bad they're stuffing AI into a perfectly good web browser for no apparent reason other than vibes or desperation. It's very bad if it's on by default; their dissembling post about it aside, opt-in has a reasonably clear meaning here: if there's a kill switch, then that kill switch should be off by default. But at least there will be a kill switch.

In any case, please stop responding to my post saying there's a master kill switch for Firefox's AI slop features. From the horse's mouth, and from user experience, there is not yet.

Furthermore, when there is a master kill switch, we don't know whether flipping it will maintain previous state of all the features it controls. In other words it's possible they'll have the master kill switch turn on all AI features when the switch is flipped to "on" or "true", rather than leaving them in whatever state you'd set them to previously. Perhaps you decide to turn the kill switch on because there are a handful of features you're comfortable with and you want to try them; will doing so mean that now all the AI features are on? We won't know till it's released and people try this. So, in the meantime, it's still good practice to keep an eye on all these configuration options if you want the AI off.


Firefox for Web Developers (@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social)

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features. We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this. …

I have Markdown editing working in Ktistec!

Which post was written in Markdown?

Figure 1: Two posts. One created in HTML (via the rich text editor), the other in Markdown.

Voilà!

Figure 2: The answer is the second post.

This is an often requested feature. It also makes Ktistec usable in browsers when JavaScript is disabled. The Markdown editor supports autocomplete and autosave, just like the rich text editor. Expect this to show up in the next release.

The threat of new operating systems not supporting your current hardware is not new.

Hello everyone!

As we do every year, we're taking some time off for the holidays.

This year, the #GoToSocial maintainer holiday period will last from December 19th up to and including January 4th, so we'll be back in action on January 5th.

What this means:

  • We will make our matrix chat (general, help, and code channels) read-only.
  • We will disable our issue tracker on Codeberg so that we don't have to worry about tracking + triaging issues.1
  • We may do little bits of work if we feel like it, but we won't be reviewing any pull requests from others.2
  • We will be absolutely chilling our tits off and doing fun stuff with friends, family, lovers, and whatnot.

We're looking forward to recharging our batteries over the holidays, and coming back in January ready to kick some ass!

Thanks for reading, and happy holidays to you <3 :gtspat:​ 🏳️‍⚧️ :black_power_communism:​ 🏳️‍🌈

  1. Unfortunately, Codeberg doesn't let you just make issues read only, so we'll have to disable / hide the issues tracker entirely during this time, unlike previous years when we were on Github. ↩︎

  2. Codeberg also doesn't (yet!) let you disable pull requests for everyone but maintainers. ↩︎

RE: mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdev

I like that Firefox is (through @jaffathecakeJake Archibald) communicating. But the point is not really if you can disable the features TBH.

I think the problem is how Firefox/Mozilla is perceived: Putting a whole lot of resources into AI gambles (that the community does not seem to be too thrilled about to say the least) while seemingly losing all focus on the Open Web as something to work on, strengthen and defend. Especially with Google/Chrome's dominance.

The new CEO coming in and just hammering "AI" while never talking about how exactly those systems can only exist by harming the open web is a bad sign.

It's not so much about distrust of the engineers working on Firefox and them adding a switch or not. It's about a communicated vision that seemingly pushes aside all the things people want Firefox to exist for.
