Oh, thanks. Should've look into it a bit more. I was worried I'm missing on posts for no good reason. But I guess this makes sense.

Wow, didn't even know Greek is the creator's first language. It seems like it all started with Greek. First few lessons are good, but a vastly different experience to Duolingo and such. Ill have to keep at it to see if it is effective.

I use Duolingo, but at least for Greek it's really slow and inefficient. I am 2/3 of the way to the end and feel like I still suck. Plus, I learned a word for vegetarian in the first few weeks but haven't yet learned a word for money for instance. I feel like it's very badly optimized.

I'm learning Greek on Duolingo and am amazed at how slowly I'm progressing and I'm already a year in. I'll give this one a shot tonight and report back at least first impressions.

Are you then a part of a vocal majority? Have you personally asked or been asked by Mozilla about AI features? What features are you exactly missing? See, I'm not against AI, but I am against needless, brainless hype following AI. I use AI, almost daily. But I'm not missing any of the features in the browser. Hell, most of the time, I'm using chatgpt from the browser. That's all I need and dont exactly have an idea what more I would need? OCR a page? Extract an image? That all could fit in an extension, which I claim almost no one would use. What does AI browser even mean? I don't speak for everyone but it doesn't mean I don't have at least an intuition that these are all empty words and that almost no one has asked for an "AI browser". And of those that did, I'm not sure they know what they mean by that, other than general curiosity about what an AI browser might look like, likely directly influenced by the hype, themselves.

Translation is already a part of Firefox and I don't see too many have complained about this. It is also completely offline, AFAIK. What people are afraid, myself included is agentic AI capable of autonomous web browsing. That is a privacy and security nightmare, as is already demonstrated by openai's browser, which was exploited the first day it was launched. Beyond translation, I personally am not interested in any other AI features. In fact, I don't use the translation feature more than a few times a year.

No, it's not. 1. Nobody wanted AI as a feature. 2. They didn't even completely backpedal, that would be not implementing AI. This sounds like it will be opt out maybe. They may remove it if they feel like it.

You are correct, but this is about Linglong factory in Zrenjanin. I am talking here about another issue, which is not forced labour per se, it is just untaxed labour jeopardizing local job market. Unfortunately, linglong issue has been active for a while now and noone is allowed to talk about it. The chinese seem to operate without Serbian authorities allowed in the factory circle.

This is the latest in Vučić's tyrannical rule, everyone is aware, but can't do anything about. Europe is keeping silent and turning a blind eye, I think because it is good for them. He has enabled the employees of foreigner workers to not have to pay taxes, damaging locals and the entire job market. This means locals will search for jobs in Austria, Germany, etc. But it's OK, that is exactly the plan, IMO. We can pass as a poor German, if we keep our mouth shut. But a brown or black guy not so much.

I tried a snapshot release a few weeks ago, there are new features, but nothing too significant for me. I'm mostly running a stable 1.0 release, but 1.1 should be released very soon, we'll see if it's a big jump, like 1.0 was. Still a long way to go tbh, especially in terms of QoL improvements. I'm talking - why is it so hard to just extrude some text. Why browse for a .ttf file in 2026? Things like that.

Freecad is my daily driver and it's pretty usable. Recently, it's improved a lot, to the point it is now just mildly annoying.

It is a complete shitshow. The building was under government protection which they illegally tried to remove and let Kushner build a hotel. Even the prosecution has reacted, and is prosecuting the minister that did it. Vučić preemptively said he is going to pardon said minister. But what's worse is that Kushner never even wanted that building in the first place, this was a sad attempt to try to suck up to Trump. Of course, it didn't work, so now they have broken the constitution, still await sanctions from USA and haven't even made a deal. Incompetence to the max.
