Nice sealioning! I hope you have a nice day but I'm moving on

1. You have to long click or open from the control menu to get link preview
2. The link preview itself has a direct link to the settings page where you can disable it
3. It's true that the link preview content that shows before you activate the AI summary is not AI. It is just showing the open graph content, same as any chat app or whatever
4. If you like the open graph content, but don't want the AI summary, you can hit the chevron to fold the summary panel to window decoration size, and it stays folded for all future link previews even through reboots.
5. The AI model doesn't download until first use

I don't like that link preview is how they spent their time, but the misinformation and subsequent overreaction to it is insane. I only even know this stuff or that it exists at all because I thought surely it wasn't as egregious as people were saying so I checked it out and boy was I right.

I'd be surprised if users that don't talk about firefox on the internet even know link previews exist.

Just look at who's been winning all the special elections. The fascists either lock this shit in like Russia in the next 3 years or they're fucked

I rather doubt that.... I wouldn't even know it existed if framework hadn't sponsored it.

Sometimes it feels like a portion of the community views complexity as a badge of honour

Adding GUI tools adds complexity

Religious cults don't care about reality.

This is my exact experience with a lot of things. I just skimmed through the first party documentation for $thing and it pays huge dividends over time when compared to trying to learn from the relatively context-sparse stack overflow or chatbot

Learning from gacha games

That's one thing that drives me nuts. When people say they use ai to write emails I imagine that means they're putting out overly long and empty content. When they say they use ai to summarize emails that means the people writing them are doing the same, or that the reader is too lazy and disrespectful to just read something. Completely absurd

Get this person a golden parachute, stat

Exactly. Studying with people who understood less but could remember the magic words to ace tests was an exercise in frustration

Usually it doesn't matter what abstractions you choose when you try to factor them to support hypothetical future work, because chances are you incorrectly anticipate future needs.

In other words, generic code that only supports one use case will almost certainly have to be deconstructed to allow a good generic implementation for 2 use cases, so it is better to just write simple code and factor code out when you can see the real commonalities.

In other, other words, KISS, YAGNI
