       @omgubuntu Mozilla claims that you can use a local LLM for AI Window: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rri5e7/i_tried_firefoxs_new_ai_smart_window_in_a_beta/oa0q3ha/But I found a forced login to Mozilla/Apple/Google accounts when I tried it.

       @omgubuntu I'm more concerned about the fact that I need to sign into an online account to access "local" functionality.Also, really good work Joey -- been watching since you started OMG and it has been one of the best open source publications over the years. ❤️

       @ariadne I kinda think so and I wrote up some thoughts awhile ago: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/04/08/ai-code-is-hollowing-out-open-source-and-maintainers-are-looking-the-other-way.html

       @ariadne Given what Anthropic has been saying about how Claude is built, I figured that the AI was also writing the specs and validating the output. I thought babysitting was the point.

       @gardiner_bryant FWIW - and you likely know this - you can configure particular hostnames to open in specified containers using extensions (including that first party Firefox one you mentioned). I think what you may find is that this results in some loss of flexibility - eg if you have a personal and business Google account, and you want to open Gmail for both accounts - an autoredirection for Gmail domains might make it hard to get to the account you are interested in.

       @davidrevoy Just so everyone knows, the same applies to #wikipedia and the #wikimedia foundation: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/08/04/wikipedia-turned-on-its-volunteers-now-its-coming-for-its-workers.htmlYes, they are also union busting.
