I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • A solid list, thank you!

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • This one sounds the closest to my experience. Maybe I'll make a list now so I don't forget the important items

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • This is all well thought out, I'm sure your local community appreciates you :)

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • The power outage I remember from over a decade ago was in the nintendo DS era, and I was at a friend's place at the time

    It's not like the device could be used for much else during a power outage so might as well play on it.

  • This is a cool one I'll have to try sometime!

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • Trying to think of the last time I had a long outage here, it might have been 5-10 years ago.

    Apparently a bunch of trees fell over power lines / infrastructure last night, and so there were outages all over the place

  • I know at least one friend that wants to adopt/foster once they're ready, instead of having biological children.

    The justification was similar to what you said, where they want to pass on their values / legacy, but don't care about the genetic side

  • First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed

    Jump

  • Oh nice, the Android app is out!

    I can give it a try now

    Edit: it feels very smooth

  • "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, and it could be a good opportunity to share some of the feedback that usually gets commented here :)

    Jump

  • As an unrelated point, when I searched again just now, most of the entries in the search engine were from Lemmy/Mbin, followed by Mastodon. Mostly this post and others like it

  • "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, and it could be a good opportunity to share some of the feedback that usually gets commented here :)

    Jump

  • So you got this survey in an email. Was the link intended to be shared like this? Can I find the survey link somewhere on Mozilla’s own websites?

    The email was through their newsletter and I would have offered to forward it, if it didn't have personal information in it. Maybe someone else who is subscribed to the newsletter can back up the claim instead?

    I actually searched for the website link to put in the post body before sharing, and went through a similar thought process as yours when I didn't find it. My reasons for sharing it anyway were:

    • Sometimes these emails say to not share it further, but this one didn't
    • I see it shared already in a few places unofficially (Mastodon, Reddit, Twitter)
    • It mentioned 'Mozilla Community' and not a more specific group, so this audience seemed appropriate
    • People here might have better feedback than I could write up, so it should be a net positive for Mozilla

    It would be nice if they did post about it on an official account to resolve any concerns. If it helps, it looks like "mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net" has been used for other surveys in the past and so you might find a link to that domain from an official source

    edit:

    their website has links to that domain based on a search of the GitHub repo

    For example, the 'Submit a product here' link on this page: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/

    It's also possible to submit without filling in the demographic questions if people are concerned but still want to submit

    Jump

  • I see a textbox saying "What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future?" You could add it there, as justification for why you want them to focus less on it

    There is a text box part way through, I included my more general thoughts there

    (my comment was getting rambly)

  • Specific to generative AI, I think client side generation can be a good thing, such as sentiment analysis or better word suggestions/autocomplete.

    A number of other helpful tasks have negative outcomes, but if someone is going to use it, then I prefer they use the version of the tech that minimizes those negative outcomes. Whether Mozilla should be focussing on building that is a different matter though

    AI that isn't generative AI has a lot of positive uses, but usually that's not what these discussions are about

  • What are ways to end a web surfing addiction?

    Jump

  • Yup, and if you find that it's still not enough then you can add more friction.

    For example, if there is a certain subreddit that you go to a lot and don't want to, block that subreddit at the browser level.

    You could block the entire website, but you don't want to get into the habit of unblocking things (ex. If you need to access a post with some resource, after coming across it when searching). Better to block what you need to block, instead of overdoing it.

  • Thanks for looking into that! I've edited the post (and the other meme post) with Drip as the recommendation, and I included your points :)
