Isaac Chotiner interviews a former Biden-Harris official who tries to sell him on what a great job the Biden-Harris administration did with Gaza, which goes a little awry when the Biden-Harris attempt to rewrite history hinges on "we did a good job only getting the right children killed, not the wrong children".

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 love media that confidently spoils itself right from the start!!! i love when stories hold your hand, perhaps even look you in the eye, and gently say ‘this character is going to die. this relationship is doomed.’ but assure you that this is a tale worth hearing because it’s not about the what it’s about the how. yayyyy hehehe 💙

hey! i can answer this!

basically, most if not all gaza fundraising was happening on gofundme simply due to name recognition and brand trust. however, gofundme quickly proved itself to be actively complicit in the genocide through its targeting of palestinian fundraisers for deletion and suppression.

my own friend siraj lost over $27,000 he had painstakingly raised over several months when gofundme arbitrarily declared his previously verified fundraiser fraudulent. he instantly lost access to food and housing for his entire family and has not been able to regain that progress since.

by contrast, chuffed has basically never given gaza fundraisers any problems. it actively promotes palestine-related fundraisers on its front page.

chuffed has also been used by the sameer project, crips for esims for gaza, and other palestine orgs for over a year now. after a particularly bad wave of deletions (of which siraj was a victim) people began migrating their fundraisers to chuffed, and it's become the go-to host site for new crowdfunding campaigns.

so if you see a fundraiser on chuffed, that's why!

my friend siraj has since moved his fundraiser to chuffed. if you got something out of this post, please consider donating to him. he needs ~150 euros to afford food for his family.

I don’t have the words anymore. I don’t know how to talk about what’s happening in Gaza anymore. It’s beyond horrific. It’s relentless evil and suffering. We are witnessing a holocaust. But if we’re witnessing it, Gazans are experiencing it.

absolutely hate it when the pleasurable activity procrastination hits. i’m going to do something fun that brings me joy but not yet. yeah, not yet. not yet. maybe i shouldn’t do it at all, it’s not that fun

If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours — especially baby formula and flour — then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.

fyi be aware of “sami” running the accounts sami--onley, alkhleliy-family, hard-export, there are probably other accounts, claiming their fundraiser is verified on the gazavetters list #21. they were already marked as ‘removed’ on the list for awhile. “sami” (obviously not their real name) is sharing an edited/fake version of the spreadsheet where the campaign is marked as approved, however recently that name and campaign has been flagged as a scam “after confirming (Forgery and identity impersonation) misuse of verification and the threatening messages to others”, as posted on the gazavetters spreadsheet. if you donated request your refund. absolutely despicable to take advantage of a genocide like this… all that money, over €32k, donated to that scammer could’ve been sent to actual palestinians in gaza in dire need, like the family they’ve been impersonating or a grassroots initiative on the ground. also it appears 90-ghost reblogged their fundraiser obviously unintentionally and without knowledge that it’s a scam and now “sami” is using that as proof of validity. please be aware and don’t boost the scammer’s posts. this is the official gazavetters spreadsheet as posted on their account.

we need to invent a spray tan-style treatment but instead of spraying you with tanning stuff it sprays you with heavy duty spf. and it lasts a few weeks so that way you can just get your spf spray a few times a summer instead of having to spend 10 minutes every day getting sticky and oily and making sure the sunscreen is all rubbed in. how do i get on shark tank
