@nyquildotorg Mozilla built a telemetry kill switch into Firefox after its users demanded one. Only 0% have used it. The rest left everything on.

"Mozilla built an AI kill switch into Firefox after its users demanded one. Only 1% have used it. Another 3% turned off some AI features selectively. The rest left everything on."

Poppycock. The people who turned off all the AI had already turned off the telemetry that measures this.

Oof, I finally found it, it was a poem posted on Instagram. There’s also a substack article providing some background: https://daniellecoffyn.substack.com/p/please-give-me-the-gift-of-your-trying

“Please, give me the gift of your trying”

I have published "mergesiteset" which despite being a relatively simple script has been saving me a lot of time merging configuration files while preparing #OpenBSD upgrades in production environments: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=178127596851228&w=2

Don't have a site set yet? Back up all the important configuration files you have changed in a tarball rooted at / and you have one.

And if you want to use sysupgrade with your site set without running a custom installation mirror to download sets from, see https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=178128371857523&w=2
