A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

No, translations is not AI and everybody knows that, including Mozilla. Lumping translations in with the rest of the AI shit completely defeats the purpose of having the "AI off switch".
Except it is. That’s why it gets turned off when you disable AI. It uses a small local model. Translations are one of the things LLMs are pretty good at.
You can enable translations while still keeping the rest of AI features disabled. Individual options override the global switch
I switched to Waterfox last week
Welcome 🤝
I kind of get it since they need funding to escape Google's boot and AI is a money printing machine at the moment but it all seems shortsighted and poorly done. If they added AI features slowly and with caution I'd be happier but they're buying into the "GAMBLE IT ALL ON POORLY CONCEIVED AI FEATURES NOBODY ASKED FOR" hype train which is just going to be a disaster
I've been pretty happy with the Zen Browser fork of Firefox (minus the fact that the lead dev seems to be a bit of an opinionated dick but it works well anyway)
