I was confused by this same thing. Afaik clicking accept within the notification did the trick because it's working, and when I clicked into the add-ons manager and checked permissions for Bitwarden, I didn't see anything amiss.
I think this is just using SpeechDispatcher from the system -- so it's not a Firefox specific thing. I get a similar (but very slightly different) voice on my own system by default -- which matches what I get when I run a command like spd-say --wait "Hello world" from the command line.
I'm pretty sure SpeechDispatcher can be configured to use a different synthesis engine -- Arch's wiki has some suggestions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Speech_dispatcher -- but I haven't dug into it yet.
Hm, ok interesting, then I could appearently use Piper (from HomeAssistant) which has a nice sounding voice, I'll try that when I have some time: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper/discussions/328
You can host a Firefox sync server yourself. You could run that on something like a Raspberry Pi in your local network. If you need remote access, use something like cloudflare tunnels (although I guess that's something else to be paranoid about).
Your “hostname.net: Question?” gimmick is annoying and dumb. Not every subscriber of a given community is a user account on that community’s instance. You’re not going to get increased engagement with this transparent ploy.
I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.
IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.
Because Lemmy is still relatively small, and because a lot of people view by “All” or “Local”, if you crosspost to many communities, your posts will dominate people’s frontpage, and they will downvote you.
What I find works well is to not post to more than two communities—three at the very most, and that those communities be on different instances.
after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.
Lol, srsly, why does anyone use apple devices willingly. Like for work I sorta get it if there's no alternative but it really took government action to compell this extremely basic customisation.
… being able to send longer messages, sending high quality pictures, read receipts, typing indicators, GIFs, location sharing, the ability to send and receive messages over Wi-Fi, and improved group messaging.
And you still see folks thinking color is what’s important.”
This change doesn't do anything that you couldn't do before. It's just a prompt forcing you to pick an option before you can access the web vs just having safari and needing to find an alternative. It's the same story as on a PC in Windows.
I use it because I'm tired of Androids shit. I have both an Android phone and an iPhone and I only use the android phone for things that I cannot do on the iPhone. And if I wasn't a massive computer nerd I'd just forgo the second phone entirely.
Care to explain further? Android and iOS do mostly the same BS, except android edges out iOS in side loading, customizability and root access.
Even on Google's flagship Pixels, unlocking the bootloader and gaining root is no problem.
The UI and UX overall are so much nicer on iOS. Especially with gestures, Android's gesture system is half baked at best.
Sure you can't rice your phone, but I don't want to rice my phone. With Android I'm tempted to do stupid shit to my phone because I could, which then causes the phone to be unstable or just not work at all and I have to wipe and reload. With iOS that's not an option, and honestly I've grown past that shit. When Cyanogenmod died all interest I had left in Android died with it. And over the years I've found out I wasn't alone. Root is great, but have you ever just had a phone that works?
Even when I don't do stupid shit I've experienced so many bugs. My camera for example runs at 2fps on my Pixel 4, and I can't figure out why. UI and UX for apps aren't as rigidly followed on Android to the experience is a lot less consistent (insert Apple not following their own guidelines meme). And honestly I run into so many more bugs in various apps on Android. In the past year I've had maybe 5 app crashes on iOS using it as my main phone. On my Android phone I've had at least twice that + at least one full phone crash.
Also the SOCs available on Android phones are garbage. I haven't looked much into the SD 8 gen2/gen3, but I honestly doubt they'd be as efficient as Apple's silicon + deep hardware software tie in. (insert iPhone 15 overheating).
Article quote "Mozilla will focus on bringing “trustworthy AI into Firefox.” To do so, it will bring together the teams that work on Pocket, Content and AI/Ml."
In the past, they've often spearheaded privacy-friendly solutions, like the translation feature in Firefox, which is already today 100% offline. It's possible to run LLMs offline, too, for simpler workloads. For example, they could probably use an offline LLM to have that translation feature form readable sentences more often.
You've not used it on linux I guess. Update at some random point in time while you use it. Now I understand why it does it, but it's just horrible terrible unforgivable.
