I was flattered to get a reply from Anil Dash to my post about the backlash Mozilla faces for its plan to add AI to Firefox. I’ve read Anil for a long time and admire his work. That said, I respectfully disagree with his arguments — here’s why. I use generative AI tools daily, but not embedded in my web browser in a...
Mozilla is developing a built‑in AI assistant for Firefox that will be offered as a third browsing mode alongside Normal and Private tabs. They’re calling it “Window AI.” Details are still scarce. Based on Mozilla’s official announcement on Thursday (13th), it looks like a deeper implementation than the existing...
The excellent KeePassXC, an offline, open‑source password manager, is at the center of a controversy over the use of AI‑generated code after the project’s collaboration policy and README added this paragraph: Generative AI is fast becoming a first-party feature in most development environments, including GitHub...

There is, in fact, a database of that type circulating online, created by an undergraduate student in...
Many people were surprised to learn on the 20th that Signal uses Amazon/AWS infrastructure. Signal’s president, Meredith Whittaker, had to explain why: Instant messaging demands near-zero latency. Voice and video in particular require complex global signaling & regional relays to manage jitter and packet loss. These...
I find it fascinating that so many people fall for the fallacy that artificial intelligence is reliable enough to guide decision‑making. And sometimes I find it funny, too. Brazilian startup Jumpad is intriguing from the pitch itself: a “self‑hosted platform, deployed on the company’s cloud” that lets you enable...
On macOS 26 Tahoe, run this command to disable Liquid Glass: defaults write -g com.apple.SwiftUI.DisableSolarium -bool YES Kinda shocked this is possible. Is Liquid Glass just a skin layered on top of macOS’s now‑classic UI? That would explain a lot… (Tip from Capi Etheriel, via r/MacOS.)
