Thanks. Apparently there is a way to do this in #Vivaldi for "distributions" but not for end users. Maybe?

If it were there I think it would be easy. So I assume it's not. My solution is to just link to #noai and stop using the url/location bar for searches. 🙂

I hate #AI in searches, I have to recheck EVERYTHING that I don't already know about. That's almost like an anti-search engine. It gives you questions and you hunt for the answers. No thanks!

Again I would have no problem with it if it were opt-in, but alas there is so little perceived value there that they insist we must opt-out.

@simsus und vorallem: #InformationelleSelbstbestimmung samt expliziter #OptIn-Regelungen!

Exponentially harder I would say.

For something like federated Community Notes an #OptIn is probably needed, with a set of governing rules that must be followed to qualify.

Das gilt auch für Apps, die z. B. mit MS SDK erstellt wurden - auch dort telefoniert der implementiere Dienst ungeachtet der DS-GVO nachhause. Aber auch Cloud-Ressourcen, wie Cloudfire, AWS, Google tun das, gehöre es vermeintlich zur s. g. Bereitstellungsdienstwn der App und sei für die Funktion unabdingbar. Gegenbeweis: Apps funktionieren sehr wohl mit in der Firewall geblockten "Trackern", upsi...

Firefox ajoute un bouton pour désactiver toute l'IA - On peut se détendre... ^^

fed.brid.gy/r/https://korben.i

<p>Bon bah voilà, tout le monde peut redescendre en pression après cette polémique quand Mozilla a annoncé qu'il allait intégrer des fonctionnalités IA dans Firefox. C'est vrai que les forums Reddit sont entrés en fusion, les puristes du logiciel libre en mode révolution, et je ne vous parle pas des menaces de migration vers je ne sais quel fork obscur... Hé bien Mozilla vient de calmer le jeu un bon coup en annonçant un &quot;kill switch&quot; capable de désactiver complètement toutes les fonctionnalités IA.</p>
<p>Ouf...</p>
<p>Le nouveau PDG Anthony Enzor-DeMeo l'a annoncé clairement : <strong>Il y aura un moyen simple et définitif de désactiver toutes les fonctions IA de Firefox</strong>. Ce truc arrive au premier trimestre 2026 et surtout, une fois activé, aucune fonction IA ne reviendra se glisser en douce après une mise à jour.</p>
<p>C'est définitif.</p>
<p>Ils ont aussi confirmé que toutes les fonctionnalités IA seraient en opt-in. Pour les non-anglophones du fond de la salle, ça veut dire que vous devrez les activer vous-même, car elles ne seront pas activées par défaut. C'est la base du respect utilisateur, mais comme c'est devenu tellement rare, il faut le préciser.</p>
<p>Pour ceux qui utilisent vraiment Firefox au quotidien (comme moi) et qui flippaient de voir leur navigateur préféré se transformer en assistant IA bavard (pas comme moi), vous pouvez souffler. Le kill switch arrive, l'opt-in est confirmé, et Mozilla a visiblement compris que forcer des fonctionn

#chatControl I hear the word "Voluntary" I think of #optin ( as in every user could say "fuck you" and keep their #privacy ) but you mean companies would have to choose if they want to scan or not scan? Oh come on. Those companies always wanted to scan. Now the #Epstein friends ( who run these companies ) will get new porn to watch, because they would get access to your #kids ''s private chats.

#WTF

@PC_Fluesterer was ich mir wünsche ist eine strafbewehrte #Unterlassungsanordnung gegen das Sammeln von Nutzerdaten welche keinen Account haben!

@solarstormscout @chiefgyk3d Hi,
I wanted to let dou know that I am quite annoyed from your bot. Most probably that account will be blocked, due to the flooding of automated messages.
Maybe you would like to reconsider using # keywords for all the automated messages.
Nevertheless thank you for working on such topics, but I would prefer #OptIn instead of #OptOut due blocking

@Tutanota it should.not be legal to make this #OptOut but rather #Microsoft should be mandated to make this an explicit #OptIn instead.

Anton Petrov makes claim that YouTube applies AI Filters to Videos without first notifying Creators and without an opt-in or opt-out Toggle; the Filter causes random Flickering in Videos, which endangers Content Consumers who have #Epilepsy. youtu.be/2HY-nREvVu4 #YoutTube #Privacy #OptIn #OptOut #UserRights #AI #ML #EnshittificationOfTheInternet #EpilepsyAwareness #Seizure #SeizureAwareness

Facebook's new AI feature wants to scan your entire camera roll for photo suggestions. It's opt-in, but if you use its AI editing or share, your media *could* help train Meta's models. So, convenience or data privacy?

Okay so basically you're saying: you've been spammed, deal with it. 🤦‍♂️

That's why I'm using burner email addresses... This one will be switched off ✅

I prefer good #Singleplayer and non-#competitive games too.

  • Or if a game does #competitive #Lobbies they should be #OptIn and it shouldn't force people to be of matching rank if they are playing with friends...
