@spz @reflex @froztbyte @ddelemeny a deliberate misinterpretation. Nice try.

@reflex @froztbyte @ZBennoui @ddelemeny the service staff that have to deal with you have my condolences. I am not one of them.

@froztbyte @ZBennoui @reflex @ddelemeny ok you've absolutely had enough of my attention.

@froztbyte @ZBennoui @reflex @ddelemeny also, if you were behaving like this towards me in a bar, as in hassling me for direct attention, during my personal time, well this feels like a much more justifiable reason to have you ejected vs the situation you mentioned earlier. Do you understand?

@froztbyte @ZBennoui @reflex @ddelemeny my engagements have slowed because it's evening for me. Your sense of entitlement over my time in general is misplaced, especially during my personal time. To be entirely clear: you have no right to my personal attention.

@fasterandworse @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny I'm not aware of any plan for that. I guess it's similar to the bookmark system not promoting other bookmarking solutions.

@fasterandworse @ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny the option isn't within the translate tool, but translation can indeed be provided by add-ons, e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/simple-translate/

@ZBennoui @froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny thanks for weighing in! That's very similar to my use of translation, fwiw

@fennix to be clear, I'm not playing this off as a mastodon thing. I mean… if my intent was to ignore people here, I've done a pretty bad job of that given I've engaged with people most of today.

My point was that if you run a poll about AI preference on Mastodon, it's pretty obvious what the outcome will be. That doesn't mean it isn't valid, it just means that putting effort into discovering what's already discovered is a misuse of time.

@fennix I'm not sure what this is in reply to. I think you're asking if Bugzilla is a place to do something in particular, but I'm not sure what.

@angelfeast @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany you're getting hung up on a line that was flagged as tongue-in-cheek with an emoji. But yes, I didn't appreciate the comparison, and blocked the person who made it.

@angelfeast @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany yep, that's why I said 'compared' and not 'called'.

@angelfeast @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany there's a pretty clear comparison to rape being drawn in that message. I'm not going to debate this further.

@reflex @froztbyte @ddelemeny I don't believe I described Fedi as something negative. What did I miss?

@froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny I agree it can be different if the person is trying to get away, and is unable to, but that absolutely is not the case here, correct?

@angelfeast https://mastodon.social/@sotolf@polymaths.social/116007043594704517 pretty grim.

@froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny is this something you've done personally? As in, you've engaged someone in conversation in a bar, and they've said something, not abusive, but just something you disagree with. They've made no attempt to talk to you without you talking to them first. And you've asked for them to be removed from the premises?

@froztbyte @reflex @ddelemeny hm. I'm replying to people who are engaging with me.

I wouldn't personally ask for someone to be kicked out of a bar for dialogue like this, when I'd directly engaged with them, even if I didn't agree with their point of view. If I didn't want to continue the chat, I'd simply stop chatting.

Your position here is alarming to me, but maybe there's some cultural difference going on that I don't understand.

@reflex @ddelemeny @froztbyte There's no dishonesty here. Using a local model to help with alt text in PDFs is one of the features controlled by Firefox's AI control, so it's relevant to the topic.

I asked a clarifying question and got an answer.

@fasterandworse @duke_of_germany let me be absolutely clear, yet again: I do not consider the arguments being presented here to be irrational or crazy.

One guy directly compared me to a rapist today. I felt that was irrational, but I don't think that's what we're referring to
