Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴‍☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too

yeah i drive the truck that isekais all those lonely 20yo NEETs and bored salarymen. it’s a really hard job. they keep sending me to workplace counselling after each hit. “it’s normal to feel guilt at ending someone’s life,” they say. how do i tell them that’s not what makes me feel guilty? “but it’s okay. he’ll live a better life in another world.” yeah, with 100 girls who could have lived normal lives but got drafted into being in these boring dudes’ harems. how many women’s lives have i ruined. and they don’t even know. they don’t even know

one of the most important people who left the most impact on me in my early twenties was the very nervous creature in our study abroad group who had two years of russian to my one, but who was too shy to talk to anyone, too shy to help translate, and so mean that she would watch me try to get directions or talk to locals or navigate ATM menus and make fun of my terrible grammer under her breath, just audible enough for me to hear it. She couldn’t bear to expose herself to the shame of communicating less than perfectly, but she would stoop like a hawk to pile shame on any imperfect communication in her orbit. She sucked. Her energy sucked. Through her I became profoundly aware of a specific terrible way of relating to other people. What a gift.

If you're having a private phone conversation with the phone off your ear, no headphones, and the speaker on in public, that's a public conversation now. That's an open invite, and I'm going to chime in if I have an opinion. This is now OUR disagreement about your boyfriend's spending habits.

unknown sorrow interview

so the number one question from your fans is— (from behind the door) are you two FUCKI —how did you come up with the name unknown sorrow?

till: what was that ivan: (like nothing happened) So, Till wanted to call it just Unknown, because he never got over his middle school cru— till: (LOUD COUGHING) and then this EMO BASTARD added sorrow to it 'cause… dunno? (gesturing) like look at the guy ivan: (Normal smile) till: …but it's good he did. having a band just named unknown would've been terrible for getting recognized, so this definitely worked out better in the end… ...what’s with that look ivan: Interview over. till: ? that was one question wha—HEY

it’s actually wild how terrified of the general public most usamericans are. like you don’t realize it if you’re someone who mostly walks and takes transit and spends a lot of time in populous public spaces but then you talk to one of the thousands of people that seemingly never set foot in any public space besides a parking garage or a starbucks and you suddenly understand why it’s so easy for fascist rhetoric about the dangerous alien to take root. this country’s median voter pretty much never interacts with strangers who aren’t their coworkers or people they met on dating apps
