@raymaccarthy @firefoxwebdevs You have never needed to use about:config. You can still quite happily browse the web using Firefox without going into about:config.

@firefoxwebdevs that being said, I actually love having local translation built into thr browser. It seems like the perfect use case for small language models that can be run on most laptops / desktop pcs today. Don't see a need to have the default setting to be off for that

@firefoxwebdevs That's awesome, but honestly that feature should have landed months ago. It's sad that it took so long to deliver such a 'simple' feature — it eroded trust needlessly :(
I understand it's hard to ship stuff, but we are talking about a toggle in preferences, so it was really frustrating not to see this shipped earlier.
Also, is that 'scare screen' really necessary? It's the same kind of trick we're always complaining about with FAANG products…

@ArneBab it doesn't just disable all existing feature, it also auto-disables future AI features, or 'blocks' them from even appearing in the UI.

@firefoxwebdevs
You are missing the point!
The features should not exist! So then no need for a master switch in the main settings.
Firefox has got so broken it needs loads of settings changed in About.config and even then is LESS USEABLE than 10 or 15 years ago.
I've been using Websites since 1994. Mosaic, Netscape, Firefox.
Of course I've used most of the others.

@mkj I don't know the answer to this off the top of my head, but I'll find out and get back to you.

@raymaccarthy about:config isn't intended to be for user settings. That's why we've created a dedicated AI controls page, and we're the first to do so.

@firefoxwebdevs "AI is changing the web, and people want very different things from it. We’ve heard from many who want nothing to do with AI. We’ve also heard from others who want AI tools that are genuinely useful."
Have you? Because I've literally only heard the former. See e.g. virtually every one of the 966 comments on https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/building-ai-the-firefox-way-shaping-what-s-next-together/td-p/109922

@firefoxwebdevs
And WHY were these "True" by default?
Why once even re-enabled?
Mozilla isn't trustworthy.
The so-called ML is an invasion of privacy and a waste of computing resource.
Go back to a Classic Firefox that's ONLY a browser and repects OS GUI look & feel instead of copying Google.

@ArneBab "block" was picked deliberately, as it's removing all entry points to the feature, not just disabling the feature (e.g. disabled buttons are still there, but these are BLOCKED).
It was important to show the features individually so you can control them individually. E.g. translation is something people explicitly wanted to be able to re-enable https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/115849251057488746

@firefoxwebdevs please, set the block as active by default and only set AI features as "opt-in"

RE: https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/116002119945073671
I am vaguely annoyed these are called ‘enhancements’.
Animated GIF alt:
App menu → Settings → AI Controls → “Block AI Enhancements” (toggle).
Then scroll down and find Translations. Change from “Blocked” to “Available”.
Firefox for Web Developers@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social (2026-02-03 02:04:39)
AI Controls (formally 'kill switch') are landing in today's Firefox Nightly, and will land with Firefox 148 later this month.
For the full details, see the Firefox blog https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-controls/

@astro Apparently I am still affected by https://github.com/astro/buzzrelay/issues/132, can't follow a hashtag. I will try to send the Announce activity manually (without a follow relationship), though this will require a bit of work.

1日の終りにブラウザの履歴を消す様にしました。
- ブラウザを誤って終了した時のためにsessionを復元する様にして居る。
- これだと余計なcookieが溜まるので手動で履歴ごと消す。

単にfputc()で垂れ流すのに比べると、ある程度のサイズにまとめてからfwrite()することで速度が倍、fwrite()するデータをいちいち生成せずキャッシュしておくことでさらに倍（元の4倍）とはね…速度を遅くする要因って結構いろんなところにあるんだなって。

@astro Thank you for adding support for Create/Announce! Do you ingest these activities through hashtag actor inboxes?
This might explain amplification, as hashtags can be followed by regular users too. This is how I use FediBuzz -- I just follow hashtags from this account, and relayed posts appear as reposts (boosts) in my feed.

@teobot malloc()よりもalloca()が遅いケースって、普通ですかね？
SASANO Takayoshi@uaa@social.mikutter.hachune.net (2026-02-02 21:35:58)
@teobot aligned_alloc()を使わなかった場合、2byte alignであるという保証はありますかね？あと、ページ単位のアラインを行った方が速いという事例はありますか？

むかし、俺が何気なく描いた落書きを見て、これ何のキャラ？って訊かれたことがある。なるほど、素人が描く絵は版権絵の二次創作といふ観念があるんだなぁ、って思ったのよね。
そりゃ子供の頃は誰でも漫画やアニメのキャラを描き写して遊ぶものだから、妙な話でも無いのだけれど。

@teobot では、基本的に失敗したらcore吐くなりして落ちるので、エラーチェックまではしなくて良いという理解で良いですね？
