I'm going to say it. The (word in parentheses) meme is way better for tone indication than tone indicators

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.

The Lone Gunmen (2001)

[leaveharmony]

bought a Bounty Hunter license myself (the one we use is generally Tosh's) so I'm doing some solo work

it's going well! I am generally very competent

get a train job at random. LOVE train jobs, favourite kind bar none, I am having a wonderful time

first sign of trouble is the rail line is up above Valentine, which means I gotta go down that tricky little cliffside path, across the river and up the other side. Manage it without crashing into anything or anyone, gain the bank, climb back up and meet the train as it's coming

snipe 3 or 4 guys as it's passing, then swing in behind it to jump on

forget that the line above Valentine has NUMEROUS BRIDGES, including the fuckoff high one (has a crashed train at the bottom in the base game, somewhat ironically)

have only once managed to make the jump from horse to train from behind, so shoot a few more guys and run alongside it - which is the first time I notice that, ohhhhhkay there is a cliff in about twelve meters and if we're not behind the train we will miss the bridge and sail majestically to our deaths

no time to think - I jump to the train

my faithful but occasionally catastrophically stupid horse Nakamura (Naks for short, gods bless his swift hooves) makes a judgement call; to continue running, presumably so I will be able to toss the bounty off and resume the journey immediately rather than having to call him again

tall on loyalty but low on brain cells, Naks continues to run alongside the train

I still have guys shooting at me

"Don't keep running! Don't keep running!"

We hit the bridge

Naks keeps running

The 'critical injury' cross pops up on his icon but I cannot do much about that as I am hunched on the caboose of a moving train with people trying to kill me, speeding away from his location (presumably, pancaked at the bottom of a gully)

No way to go but forward

Shoot the bounty, time being of the essence, toss him over my shoulder and jump off the train, thinking there is a narrow chance if I move fast enough I can get back to the horse before he dies

perhaps proving that loyal pets come to resemble their master, have not realized myself that WE ARE ON ANOTHER NARROW RAIL BRIDGE.

the corpse immediately topples off the bridge, which I realize fleetingly, as my own body becomes wedged between the retaining wall and the train, toppling head over heels as it actively begins to kill me, that this is in fact the fuckoff empire-state-building tall rail bridge, and therefore the corpse is now at the bottom of a sheer ravine that I cannot easily get to the bottom of

OR CAN I? I die ingloriously, crushed beneath the wheels of the train, and respawn at the bottom of the gully, hit the ground running and hope the body isn't caught up on a ledge

it isn't, and I retrieve one slightly worse for wear corpse, and start whistling for Naks

who cannot find me.

because he's dead? because I'm caught between a river and a cliffside? where the easiest way to get to me is by falling off said cliff? who's to say? the countdown timer hits ten minutes.

I make a little headway towards the river knowing damn well there's no way upon this side of it and no way to cross without the horse, still whistling

miraculously, Naks reappears on the map headed for me - he's on the other side of the river

reemerges with about a millimetre of remaining health but somehow, astonishingly, still alive, presumably because I died before he had a chance to

By the grace of only his speed and my suddenly-again-competent horsemanship, we somehow still manage to deliver the bounty on time in spite of having fallen off a cliff and been hit by a train, respectively

Me: Not that I care about wrestling anymore

Also me:

Whatever token bit of outrage I would feel at the second-stupidest decision I have ever seen njpw make is on hold until I know for certain Tsuji is not injured. Alive is progress; dead men don’t tweet. Not-injured would mean this was a deliberate choice on someone’s part, and the distance between a company that would make a decision like that and the one I used to defend to the death is just…I can’t even see the other side of that gulf

I went to bed! Right after Tana’s match. Because why on earth would I want to sit through two more HOT matches and a BC one just to get to Tsuji struggling to get a good match out of fucking EVIL (and of course Togo, and Fale, and Ren, and SHO, and Kanemaru, and Yujiro, and DOUKI…am I forgetting anyone?). So I did not see the alleged powerbomb KO personally, and if he was actually injured I don’t want to. What generates the strangeness for me is if Tsuji was out on impact why on EARTH would EVIL have been so stupid and careless as to move him for a finish anyway? That’s so…so fucking dangerous. I can’t imagine he wouldn’t have noticed, it’s not like Huge Tsuj is an ironic nickname, and he’d be dead weight…though I guess whoever was refereeing must have been out as well and unable to check on him or Fale wouldn’t have been…god this stupid fucking faction

But whatever. You know? If they made a stupid goddamn corporate decision so be it, if they want to wipe their asses with whatever this tournament used to signify, and toss it in the trash with what the titles used to signify, more power to them, as long as Tsuji’s alright.

WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK ARE THEY FUCKING THINKING MAKING IT A CHOICE BETWEEN A GUY WHO SPENDS HALF HIS TIME ON ANOTHER CONTINENT AND A GUY WHO CHEATED IN EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TOURNAMENT MATCH ON THE WAY UP, OH MY FUCKING ACTUAL GOD
