Hello. Yes. This thing on? Ok.
Just so you know. To make sure we're all on the same page. You don't have to engage with the never-ending car wreck of blood politics. Not even in spite or as a joke.
Okay. That's the short version. The long version is reading a book, so I'll just link to somebody more qualified on the topic like Gil Anidjar: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/blood/9780231167215/
went to a store yesterday and all i want for christmas is you started playing and i saw a clerk's face drop into the most exhausting glare you could ever see. it was a like a goya painting
It has been zero (0) days since trying to use my Google Titan security key with Google Chrome to access Google Meet has locked me out of a therapy call because the "device is not supported".
As a security nerd I really, really want to be on board with extensive 2FA and passkeys, but as an actual human being who is constantly getting locked out of their accounts because of totally inscrutable 2FA errors, I honestly want to go back to Just Long Passwords, Please.
An updated list of Firefox settings to change in about:config to rid your Firefox of any AI activity:
user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
user_pref("extensions.ml.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled", false);
user_pref("pdfjs.enableAltTextModelDownload", false);
user_pref("pdfjs.enableGuessAltText", false);
anecdotal reports are that this makes Firefox noticeably faster
that list of settings to disable:
browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled

QuillOS: Alpine-based Linux distribution optimised for Kobo e-readers

QuillOS is an Alpine Linux-based distribution specifically developed for the unique challenges of e-readers
spending this much time caring about "proprietary blobs" and "firmware blobs" makes me wish there were more slimegirls involved
shooting, personal, antisemitism
I just read the names of the victims of the antisemitic channukah attack today.
May they be blessed and their families stand strong. And the injured recover.
Three of the shot ones have the the same jewish name as my birthname...
I'm so sick of other leftist telling Jews that standing in solidarity with other Jews being killed around the globe (especially in Israel) is making them zionist genocide supporters or even legitimate targets.
As if the dead are all "zionists who coincidentally are also jews" thus it was our (immoral) free choice to care.
I know there have been terrible things done in Gaza. And that some people sadly condone or support them. But most worldwide who got killed since Oct 7th didn't. Still the freepalestine movement rarely condemns these attacks or even justifies them.
They don't clearly give/withdraw their support between random jews and pro israel jews killed. But they say we don't have the right to "make" the latter scenario about us
