@zzt Mozilla pumping their highly publicized, CPU/RAM-hogging feature while neglecting to give it a key combo would've been unthinkable only 5 years ago.

here’s a worked example of why nobody believes firefox’s AI kill switch will be anything but a marketing wedge -

This has to be the clumsiest dropdown menu I've ever seen, especially the fact that neither the "AI window" nor "Classic window" options list keyboard shortcuts.
If this keeps up, it'll only be a matter of time before distros start shipping Librewolf (or other forks) as the default browser. -
As a long time Linux user; do you know how bad you have to fuck up your operating system to make people WANT to use Linux?@rgegriff The window managers (I've mainly used XFCE and KDE) have a lot of nifty features: stuff that could've been implemented during Windows 8 if it was designed by the Powertoys and Sysinternals people instead of a coked-up touchscreen salesman.
The Metro environment worked kinda well on tablets, but I'm still shocked that Microsoft completely ignored the ramifications of forcing a half-baked parallel ecosystem of fullscreen-only applications onto every desktop, and replacing the startmenu with a fullscreen version.
My dad still gets fired up when reminded of the Windows RT situation: MS ported the entire OS to energy efficient ARM systems only to ban them from running any desktop software beyond Office and the mediocre pack-in stuff (because they didn't allow desktop apps on the Windows Store).
The Copilot push is arguably less agressive, in the sense that it seems to be sequestered to action buttons in applications, along with the telemetry/spyware/adware that's been active by default since 10.
