Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) (www.quippd.com)

TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.

That's what you get with dozens of new executives and crazy pay packages for the top brass huh?

I'm losing hope. I might just give in to chromium honestly.

Looking at the situation and deciding that prefering Chrome would be better is exactly the bot position to take.

Mozilla is turning into the same thing every other big corporations are, including Google. Inflated executive numbers and pay, cutting what made then unique (think of all the FOSS stuff they've killed along the way)...

I'm not jumping to Vivaldi or whatever just yet, but ugh... Their latest push for AI is driving me very close...

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 hours ago

Still doesn't make sense. One company is turning to AI so that drives you to other companies that already have AI and are precedentally worse?

I'm not saying Mozilla is a saint. The sooner we can replace the executive branch, the better. But the even better comparative is if somehow we don't even need to get to that point in the first place, and not supporting Mozilla at the past edge of where they're at is defo not gonna lead to that.

No, do not give into Chromium. Letting Google dominate web rendering standards is a bigger problem.

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

I agree, and I honestly don't want to go chromium... But Mozilla is making it harder and harder to even want to use their product.

I'm not getting off Firefox/Floorp yet, but Mozilla needs to stop messing this up so royally at every turn...

When the ladybird browser is just around the corner? Give it some time.

Aren't the devs persona non grata for some reason or another?
