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.

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

DNFed a book at 287 pages when I knew at 100 pages it wouldn't pick up 😭😭😭😭😭 the half Drowned King by linnea hartsuyker was very disappointing, it was so dull and flat and too much tell and too little show. How should I believe that the main character is so clever when he does dumb things all the time. His person changes to serve the plot, as does his sister's. Who is Not Like Other Girlsssss. She cant even spin well.Holy hell what a time wasted. Every character was soooo flat and anything that wasn't, was pointed out till it died a painful death. Both siblings were 'I descend from kings!!!!' A thousand times and then the book went 'but really everyone did because there were many kings ruling over small lands' and I'm not even sure whether that was meant to be funny or not.

This felt like I was reading a youth or YA book. A badly written one too. I have ebooks waiting for my by the author who praised this one on the blurb 😭😭😭 I hope his taste in books doesn't make him a bad historian. Good God.
