@SamatSattarov which AI things in Firefox do you feel haven't been opt-in so far?
Show thread[object Object]

@firefoxwebdevs @SamatSattarov so your definition of opt-in includes enabling a bunch of browser.ml about:config settings after updates, including all the ones I’ve already disabled, just in case I change my mind and want my browser to be full of absolute horseshit?

that’s fucking worthless and I’d tell you to feel ashamed that this dark pattern crap is what you think constitutes consent, but let’s be real: you’re a PR mouthpiece for an AI corporation and are incapable of shame.

@firefoxwebdevs @SamatSattarov and while we’re here

I know it’s very popular among PR fuckfaces to claim that your justifiably angry users are confused as a way to control the discussion.

none of us are confused. all of us know a dark pattern when we see it. plenty of us have had to implement them for our dickhead employers. none of us want our consent violated by a browser we’ve previously done advocacy for. no, you don’t get to dictate what a consent violation looks like for your users.

@firefoxwebdevs @SamatSattarov “why are you being so mean, we’re developers too” be fucking serious. Firefox is fucking cooked and so’s the web and you’re giving me PR language from an Oops! Not Actually Official! account and expecting me to not notice I’m talking to a salesperson under the employ of a millionaire who only recently told me and the rest of the Firefox userbase to personally go fuck ourselves

@errant @SamatSattarov Yikes in the sense that they'll never get an answer from that now thoroughly atomized corpse.
