Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5LinuxEnglish
122·8 days agoWhile I can’t speak for LibreWolf, I can tell you that Waterfox is based on the latest ESR builds and is extremely well maintained to the point of evolving into its own thing entirely. It’s one of the oldest forks I’ve known. The fact it’s been around this long should speak volumes. That being said, most modern forks that I’ve tried tend to base themselves on ESR as well and evolved in a similar way.

113·8 days agoWhile AI is just tool like anything else, the fact it is being used to replace talented artists just to save a quick buck is why it is understandably being called evil. Context matters.

8·18 days agoPretty much. Characters only enter into the public domain after the copyright for the first publication of said character lapses or if there is a copyright waiver, such as the CC0. That’s why Steamboat Willie entering the public domain was such a big deal.
