Also a quick question about NVDA. I was the one to help people with this same thing before, but I forgot what I did and now is a time for doing, not thinking so much. What setting do I tweak on NVDA to make it read each link on a separate line? Thanks.
Reminder I am hireable for coding work, and I can be paid in sex toys, cryptocurrency, or sex.
My rates depend on the kinda work being done, but I don't like worrying about things being transactional. Just, if it feels like a good trade, imma take it.
My usual rates are 50 EUR - 80 EUR an hour, for context.
But I reaaaly wanna be dommed by a hot domme, and don't mind doing something simple for you, like reverse engineering a small-ish Linux kernel driver and rewriting it in Rust or smth, if I get dommed enough,,,
Note that I am *slow* at doing things.

Oh yes. Just had a Firefox update and now need to trawl through the config to check for things to set to False (or reset: they're like vampires for which the stake isn't hefty enough to cause permanent removal).
I am so tired of tinselly New! Improved! "functionality" that is various proportions of useless, destructive, annoying, and unwanted.
Now the car demands an update during which the engine will not start. Doesn't say *what* will update. At least it asked first.
I can recommend librewolf.net a fork of Firefox without the undesirable "features". I have been using it on Mac for many month and I am very happy with it.
I hate AI as much as the next fedizen, but as per the update to this article, the CPU/memory spikes some people experienced were due to a different issue:
Mozilla reached out to me on Aug 14 to clarify. Some users who installed the Firefox 141 update in certain locales did experience performance degradation, but it was caused by a different on-device feature, not Smart Tab Groups which debuted in the update:
“After receiving reports of issues that hadn’t come up in our testing [of the new semantic Url matching feature], we reversed the rollout and the performance issues should be resolved. We are working on a fix.”
(this is why links are more useful than screenshots)
@nev I honestly don’t see the problem with this use of AI. It’s a local model that does a small task. It’s not a chatbot. It’s like the millions of vision or sentiment analysis models we’ve used for years before the LLM boom.
@anselmschueler This is more like integrating AI for the only reason: integrating AI. Imho there is not a real reason for such a feature.
If you are using tab groups you are able to group the tabs by hand - and most of the time you already know a name for your group. Its like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
@diabhoil @nev I can see that. I agree that it was probably added mostly due to AI hype and not reasoned consideration. I don’t think that means we should automatically hate the feature itself
@soc Exactly. I am more than willing for every tech feature to be irreparably harmed by association with AI (whether it uses AI or not and only purports to) in an all-encompassing effort to make AI toxic in all its forms (even imaginary ones).
@soc @diabhoil @nev I see. That’s certainly a possible strategy. I don’t think it’s something I would want to do, since it would involve me lying to myself or getting myself to hate features I don’t think really need to be hated. But as a PR strategy it might be effective.
@anselmschueler it's a PR strategy I've been pursuing from the jump and it's been very effective (if you look at any kind of surveys of what people think of AI — they don't want it, they think it tarnishes anything it touches, etc).

@soc @diabhoil @nev yeah I can see that. I'll respect your strategy. not gonna do it myself. I'll hate specific AI instead. (Like the chatbot feature in Firefox, that is stupid)
@soc @diabhoil @nev Well, you can still hate it if you want. I just wouldn’t automatically hate it for that reason. I haven’t tried the feature. I could imagine it might be useful in some cases.
@soc @diabhoil @nev The core point I’m making is that we could imagine a world in which the feature was added without AI hype being the cause. (Such as if there was no AI hype to speak of) In this world, there would be no reason to hate the feature due to AI hype, and I claim (almost) any analysis of the feature “itself”, so to say, carries over to our world unchanged.
@soc @diabhoil @nev It would make it faster to categorise tabs if you have too many of them, by e.g. suggesting tab groups or suggesting tabs to add to a tab group. I think this is a pretty straightforward selling point. It, of course, would not help if you have e.g. fifteen tabs and want to make a group of five of them, but supposing e.g. you have five hundred tabs, it’d be a chore to sift through all the ones that have, say, cat pictures.
sequential non vegan food p0rn, contains meat and cheese
let's fill it with fresh mixed minced meat, chopped onions, chopped garlic, all leaves of the thyme, some dried marjoram, some more dried thyme, salt and black pepper...
The image features a man dressed in a formal suit with a white flower pinned to his lapel, holding a can of WD-40 in his left hand. He is using a red straw to drink from the can, which is unusual as WD-40 is a cleaning product and not meant for consumption. The background includes a statue and a wall with a warm, golden hue. The text at the top of the image reads, "If you can't drink WD-40, then why does it come with a straw?!" This text humorously questions the inclusion of a straw with a product that is not intended to be consumed.

The image shows a cat positioned in a narrow space between the carpeted stairs and the wall. The cat is lying on its back, with its belly exposed and its paws stretched out. Its fur is a mix of brown and gray, with distinctive stripes. The cat's eyes are open, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera with a somewhat grumpy expression. The background consists of the brown carpet of the stairs and the white wall, with a small white object visible on the left side of the image. The text at the top of the image reads, "Where could I position myself to become the most dangerous obstacle in the house.."

Had a good laugh today in my AM gocomics.com run. This actually happened to me (the billboard, not the freeway pile-up).
Let me explain:
Lots of you may not know we (wife and I) ran our own #advertising agency for 22 years. One client insisted we put a QR code on EVERYTHING. We were doing billboards for them at the time along a major California freeway, and I had to tell them that people would never scan a QR code while driving at 70+ MPH.
Took way too much convincing, but we won that battle.
