Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please donβt fuel conspiracy thinking here. Donβt try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answersβwhich is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I think this is a very willful misinterpretation of that phrase and it's not really something I can take seriously.
@TrickDacy I think people use this phrase to say that even if something isn't perfect, it's better than before - that is coming from my reading of the phrase on Wikipedia: "The phrase suggests that achieving absolute perfection may be impossible, and that the pursuit of perfection should not prevent someone from recognizing or completing work that is imperfect yet still valuable."
If you don't agree, I guess we can start there.

@TrickDacy In the case of AI, we are going from a good place to a worse one.
If the AI in Firefox is "the good", what is the "perfect"? More AI?
Maybe we need to agree that there is a version of Firefox with AI that is perfect before we can then agree that the implementation isn't perfect (but is good).
uh, what? The good is firefox today, the perfect would be some non existent browser which is fully open source and has no ethical or associative concerns whatsoever.
No one said anything about AI but you, and I've no idea why you brought it up. Not really looking to debate whether or not FF is perfect as that's a pretty ludicrous idea that I clearly never believed or articulated. The entire point I was making is that it's not perfect but it's better than chrome, ethically.
@TrickDacy Sorry, I missed the context here and my comment didn't make much sense.
Removing the dumb comments and sorry for wasting your time.
