After #community #protest: #Firefox #update on their "Terms of Use"

Source: blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…

Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some #confusion and #concern. With that in mind, we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how #Mozilla interacts with #user #data.

An update on our Terms of Use

We’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern.

And then there's that battery "debug" profile. #Battery capacity goes down from 3080mAh to 1539mAh! Half! It says "debug" but I'm pretty sure it's not just "debug", it's the crippled profile.

Statt KI-generierter Moderationen läuft nun ausschließlich Musik. Während der Sender von einem „erreichten Ziel“ spricht, werfen entlassene Mitarbeiter #Sparmaßnahmen durch den angetäuschten Einsatz der KI-Personas vor, denn nun werden keine Wortbeiträge mehr gesendet. 🎙️🤖

KI kann sehr wohl Jobs kosten – viele

Von Nachrichtensprechern bis Mode-Models: KI könnte viele Berufe stark beeinträchtigen. Ein Blick auf einen schwierigen Arbeitsmarkt.
