Hey Firefox users.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: 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

Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.

You're created your own echo chamber and feedback loop based on vibes instead of reality, and your policy reflects that because it exacerbates the harm that triggered you in the first place! Inevitable outcome of moral panics.

But ultimately, this is a conversation about why moral panics never work! They're rooted in feelings and performative behavior. Not facts and evidence based solutions. If your only goal is to be outraged and then create a policy that soothes you, your policies will always be ineffective fuckshit

If most sex workers were cis white men, there wouldn't be such an effort to disenfranchise sex workers.

If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.

JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.

We tried to tell people this would happen! And the further you go from sites that attempt to follow laws, the more likely you are to encounter content that was either filmed or uploaded without consent It actually creates MORE sexual abuse & exploitation
