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.

sure there's lots of potential for new romances with 13 pcs but I am EXTREMELY excited for the potential of inter-party conflict. Especially with separate tables where pcs might have plenty of time away from each other and no real reason to avoid conflict. let's go bitter rivalries, let's go epic betrayals, let's go pcs who hate each others' guts even if they're ultimately on the same side!

Breaking News Alert: our gracious prince has found the beautiful young woman who came thrice to his ball—once in a dress shimmering like starlight, once in a dress luminous as the moon, and once in a dress as golden and radiant as the sun on a summer day—only to discover that she was a scullery maid working in his own kitchen! needless to say she has been executed

am i wrong ???? like i feel like knowing that "when its summer in the northern hemisphere its winter in the southern hemisphere" is absolutely assumed knowledge for all global citizens connected by the internet..... like 1 this is information you learnt when you were 6 and 2 if youre online you interact with australians kiwis and with south americans and with south africans and people from the southern hemisphere all the time. how can you not know this basic knowledge

one can only blame jet-lag for the rank stupidity of arguing history on the internet.

(what is quite funny is that i read avi shlaim's the iron wall as an undergrad and summarily dismissed it because how could he be right.)

if you are claiming Israel or its borders was a British invention

modern israel and palestine lie fully within the borders of the erstwhile mandatory palestine

the same consideration given to other nations that declared independence from the respective Colonial Empires that occupied their homelands

which nations are getting this? haiti is still paying reparations to france. the manufactured famines in bengal do not exist in histories of churchill. german occupation of east africa and west africa has pretty much disappeared from histories outside of eastern and western africa.

if you cared to actually listen to us

somehow this 'us' never refers to histories by israeli historians critical of the state of israel, huh. nor of israelis living today that are critical of the state of israel. every single one i name will be decried as lies - why bother recounting them?

which is fine, except that i have also read indian histories written by indians critical of the state of india, and i know quite well which historiographies are championed and which buried.

I can't help but notice the relative dearth of American leftists calling for Pakistan and Bangladesh to be dissolved and put under Indian control, or for Ireland to be given back to the UK

the idea that american leftists have any kind of moral clarity on these topics would be very funny if it were not also the case that american leftists get, on an ongoing basis, to do what americans on the internet generally get to do, which is pretend it is only they who have moral clarity.

please do not use the history of the british empire in india as a way to justify the existence of the borders of israel. the british empire in india is the key reason for the horrors of partition. their malicious lack of care with regard to the real, meaningful land they claimed to own was the reason for the largest movement of persons in the history of the subcontinent.

these were the people in charge of drawing the borders in israel and palestine. the idea that because people think of the borders of india, pakistan, and bangladesh as legitimate they should think of the borders of israel and palestine as legitimate is simply an unserious reading of history. it is the other way around. just as the colonial power drew borders in the middle east, they drew borders in the subcontinent. just as the former is illegitimate, so is the latter.

i wish i had the energy to boil my blood about this. but the history of the subcontinent is always simply a random thought-exercise about borders to people. it is never the chief atrocity of a string of atrocities committed in my part of the world by people whose callousness was only matched by their ignorance and their hubris.

the generations of people who went through it do not speak of it. they only look forward and their trauma has defined and debilitated both their own and their descendants' lives.

and now instead we must read that our borders were good and just, actually. that the border enforcement of palestinians is just as good and just, actually. that we would not dissolve those borders because we understand that borders are necessary for everyone concerned.

man o man, but western historiography boggles the mind and disquiets the soul.

siblings, they shouldn't be punished. if you want to torture someone because you think they did bad things, that's on you. but punishment in and of itself is not a moral good.

you want to make the world a better place? these people have to own up. they have to make themselves accountable to their victims and their communities. they have to make reparation in whatever form they are able, and in whatever form is desired by the people they have hurt.

how many people do you think don't tell on their abusers because they don't want their abusers to go to jail. how many people do you think are very aware of what the police will do to someone who calls them for help, or to someone whom they believe has done crimes.

you can't punish someone into making them better.

if you want to punish them because you think they deserve it, well. no wonder the catholic church has so many adherents. but no amount of punishment will redeem someone. it's why convicts never get hired again - even in societies that say 'you have been punished enough, you can now return to society'. because we don't think there's an enough. not really.

ACAB means destroying the carceral justice system. it means radically rethinking our approach to punishment. if you don't like that, consider that you don't think ACAB, you just think some CAB.

"the age of consent should be 21" is alot like "the death penalty should include sex offenders" as twitter discourse topics, in the sense that i feel like the people bringing up those 'hot takes" barely believe in them and are only using them as a morality test because they think the only reason you would be opposed to them is because you're a evil pervert and not because actually trying to make those laws actionable in reality would have pretty natural consequences that noone advocating for them is actually thinking about.
