I think they always did, if you had "Expand sidebar on hover" enabled in your "Customise sidebar" settings?

Where are you installing KDE Connect? You only need it on your Android phone. On your computer, you only need the GSConnect extension.

I'm afraid the reason for that is that is that it's the only place where Firefox has full control over the upload experience. Like, how would Firefox even be able to insert an alt text when e.g. I'm uploading a pic to Mastodon, without adding special cases for every website (which would break whenever the websites update)?

Though I wouldn't be surprised if at least some "copy suggested alt text to clipboard" feature would be added at some point.

In any case, sure it's an edge case, but it's still weird to be angry about "AI" for it. It won't even download the model if you don't use it, AFAIK.

Honestly if it prefilled something like that that would already be an improvement, at least to create temporary ones (though in practice, they're probably never temporary).

Oh speed is definitely going to be the make-it-or-break it here. I do usually know the name without thinking, but it's having to type it (and preferably without typos) that's the effort that would be nice to save.

It feels really stupid, because it's really not that much effort. But I know myself - I also really like contactless payments, even though it really wasn't that much effort to insert my card and type in my PIN. Yet it's a small convenience for something that I do with some regularity. I imagine the same for this feature.

Yeah but I don't think anyone was referring to Israel's actions as the US doing "preventative bombing"?

I can see people not necessarily wanting suggestions for tab group names, but... The rest of the list is translations and alt text suggestions for images added to PDFs. The most uncontroversial AI features if ever there were any.

I really don't care for this urge to advertise "AI" everywhere. I also don't care much for the knee-jerk reaction just because someone calls something AI.

Well, people were at least asking for translations all the time.

TBF, I love my tab groups, and honestly having to come up with and type out a name for each of them is the biggest hurdle. It's a small thing, but I can imagine myself using tab groups even more because of it.

So far I don't think the US strikes specifically on Iran are known to have killed or even wounded anyone, let alone civilians, nor hit hospitals or schools, right?

Yeah, quite a bit, especially compared to the rest of the industry. The reason is a) because that Corporation is owned by a non-profit, i.e. it has no shareholders that want to squeeze users for every penny, and b) there's a solid track record, and lots of passionate employees and contributors.

Add to that that the belief that the only thing that will come from Mozilla's demise, is even more power to Google, Microsoft and Apple, and yeah... I'm hesitant to immediately go for the worst-faith interpretations of every action. Unfortunately most of the Fediverse appears to think differently.
