Mozilla removes uBlock Origin Lite from Addon store. Developer stops developing Lite for Firefox; "it's worrisome what could happen to uBO in the future."

Appears to be a mistake, but needs gorhill to appeal to make the reviewer aware of the mistake and to be able to fix it, which he doesn't feel like doing because he thinks it's unlikely to have been a mistake.

Update: now reversed, but gorhill removed it himself just to not have to deal with the review process and the possibility of human error anymore.

One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"

Reply in thread

This sounds exactly like the type of nontechnical nonsense they're complaining about: attacking a strawman ("they're trying to prevent people from refactoring C code and making them rewrite everything in the current fancy language") even after explicitly calling out that that was not going to happen ("and to reiterate, no one is trying force anyone else to learn Rust nor prevent refactorings of C code").

I can see people not necessarily wanting suggestions for tab group names, but... The rest of the list is translations and alt text suggestions for images added to PDFs. The most uncontroversial AI features if ever there were any.

I really don't care for this urge to advertise "AI" everywhere. I also don't care much for the knee-jerk reaction just because someone calls something AI.
