Firefox nightly gets “AI” kill switch

After a seemingly endless stream of tone deaf news from Mozilla, we've finally got some good news for Firefox users. As the company's been hinting at for a while on social media now, they've added an "AI" kill switch to the latest Firefox nightly release, as well as a set of toggles to disable specific "AI" features.

You can choose to use some of the

Great expression that should be used more.

sigh So I gotta move next month (end of March, at most) while dealing with legal snafus of my car accident from last year.

And worse, I was out sick last week and will be short on rent, due on the 1st.

2026 is going great, y'all! (NOT)

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

Next year at the FSF we are partnering with Northrup Grumann to ensure the entire stack, from the runway to the killing fields, is fully libre. Right now users have complained that the missiles killing them contain non-free proprietary "blobs" and we heard you! Next year you can be reduced to cinders and ash by anyone willing to reciprocate with open contributions to the Torment Nexus.

Don't worry! It runs Linux and FOSS software is here to help you! If we restricted this usage you would be less free. Oh. And missiles just do that. Sorry about your house.

February is the Black History Month here in the US, and a great opportunity to recommit to making the fediverse (and beyond!) a safe and welcoming place for Black people.

Let's continue to lift up their voices, celebrate their joys, and if you see trouble, step in and help out.

apparently, SIL, the organizaton which made the Open Font License, is an evangelical christian org which, in its efforts to spread the word of god to people, strongly collaborated with u.s. intelligence (which sought to use evangelical christianity as a weapon in the cold war against catholic liberation theology, which aligned priests with the working class) and had a hand in persecuting liberation-theory-involved catholics in central and south america

@thufie Please please, the Torment GNU/xus.

Keith Porter still doesn't get enough attention in the coverage of ICE murders so far this year.

Please support his family if you can:

Not sure how I missed this news, but apparently Florida is keeping the multi-cides going by slashing access to AIDS treatment.

As someone who held my elders in my arms as they died one after the other, and helped their friends and partners struggle with the aftermath while their birth families looked away… Fuck everyone involved in this.

“NASTAD estimates that more than 16,000 people will lose ADAP coverage. This means that roughly half of all Floridians currently relying on ADAP for uninterrupted access to HIV treatment are at immediate risk of treatment disruption solely due to an administrative eligibility change, not clinical need.”

Ready access to modern AIDS treatments and prophylaxis is good for EVERYONE. The theoretical cost savings they’ll get by slashing this program will be utterly dwarfed by the societal costs when we start dealing with the reality of untreated AIDS.

Furious.

Trans PSA: if you see a study by "AYAGDOS" (at ayagdos(.)org), avoid it like the plague. It's being run by Lisa Littman and J. Michael Bailey, noted transphobes who have a *long* history of transphobic rhetoric and "research."

Ripley has Fridays all figured out. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley

does anyone know of tech groups working against ICE? a friend of mine contacted me asking about resources as someone they know got taken (she's okay but traumatized).

i'm finding it difficult to find orgs that can help beyond the big USA-wide ones, which often don't have boots on the ground. wondering if there's any projects working on this!
