@placebo @EUCommission Single services market I believe. Currently we have single goods market, but services are complicated to sell to other EU states.

@warandpeas It's already happening. A lot of people are advertising their stuff as "made by a real human" or "no AI".

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I actually like how Firefox has handled AI - small local models, no spying to train AI on my data. For users who insist on using a mainstream online chatbot, it lets them do it without forcing it on others. (And there are more such users than I thought. People who I thought are way too computer illiterate to use AI surprised me by using ChatGPT.) Firefox lets me translate text locally without big tech spying on my translations. Is this bad because it happens to use neural networks?

@torf @EUCommission Russian Federation.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Have you considered a comic where an owner of a real parrot does magic and gets accused of using AI?

@obc@mas.atmx.ca @eff@mastodon.social It can ask nicely to block the respectful ones, it can forcefully block the obvious ones. The sneaky ones will still scrape.

@fosstastic@mastodon.social @itsfoss@mastodon.social Oof! Then we really would be better off using LibreOffice or something based on it.

@akastargazer@m.ocsf.in @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu On the contrary, send Ukraine more money and weapons.

@bohwaz@mamot.fr @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Many people (correctly) refer to this kind of features as "AI" and so do various news outlets. I have seen multiple people upset at local models and asking how to delete them. I have seen people advertise Firefox derivatives that remove the local models with the lack of those models described as a feature. I believe this mostly stems from misinformation and this is why I will keep explaining that "AI" is a very broad term that includes good things as well as bad things.

@fdroidorg Huh, didn't know Session was doing so badly.

@sabmes @grote Alpha means it has not yet reached beta. Software lifecycle path: pre-alpha -> alpha -> beta -> release candidate -> stable.

@muminpappa @EUCommission @pasci_lei @epicenter_works Good idea. TL;DR "instead of tying online interactions of everyone to their identity, we simply tie the devices of children to their age group"

@bersl2@furry.engineer Mozilla has a history of being a target of pitchfork-and-torch crowds. Making these extensions would only make sense if they were preinstalled, as the overwhelming majority of Firefox users don't install any extensions, not even a content blocker. People are using "AI" as a buzzword, I even saw a literal shampoo use it. I do not believe in the fearmongering that Mozilla Firefox will become a data-stealing browser with user as the product, like OpenAI or Perplexity ones do.

@waltercool @dcc @purism Yes, but Samsung and LG don't make phones in US. Manufacturing in US is the main feature justifying the high price tag. The Librem 5, which is similar but not made in USA costs $800. That's still a lot, but it's not a regular Android smartphone. For me, it's too expensive for what it is, but some people are buying them.

@number6 @bremner Firefox will support manifest 3, but has no plans to abandon manifest 2. Mozilla is desperately trying to get other sources of income than Google paying to be the default search engine. This is why Mozilla VPN and Firefox Relay exist. Buying them supports Firefox development.

@zaufanatrzeciastrona Pewnie mieli ilustrację pod ręką, to wstawili. Dobrze, że nie wygenerowali za pomocą SI. Ponawiam pytanie: czy obecne e-dowody osobiste używają kryptografii odpornej na komputery kwantowe? Bo ponoć zostały tylko 33 miesiące na wymianę kryptografii. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/yikes-encryptions-y2k-moment-coming-years-early

@kAlvaro @EUCommission Alt stores are not being banned. The issue is blocking app installs (no matter where you install them from) of apps made by developers that don't register with Google. Registering means handing over personal data, signing a contract and paying for the privilege of making Android apps.

@kAlvaro @EUCommission There are some apps on F-Droid that are made by registered developers and those won't be affected. This is why I specified that the problem is app bans (if devs are not registered) and not store bans.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Does it get deorbited or moved to a graveyard orbit?

@fdroidorg@floss.social It's a shame that FUTO Keyboard is under a custom noncommercial use license rather than a proper free software license.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org There's a classic TES solution: enter stealth mode, put the dagger in his inventory and take the gold back.

@congusbongus@mastodon.gamedev.place @ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org There are many valid uses for various types of AI. Sorting trash, generating video subtitles, translating... People tend to focus on the less valid uses and act like these are the only possible uses.

@SomeAnoTooter@mastodon.online @eff@mastodon.social Refusing plugins to reduce your fingerprint only makes sense if your browser does plenty of other things to reduce fingerprinting. For regular Firefox/Edge/Chrome it's better to use a tracker blocker like uBlock Origin with appropriate filters or Privacy Badger.

@eff@mastodon.social Electronic national IDs will need to be updated and reissued soon. They will likely be late.
