Hey, it looks like you're waiting for ideal conditions to do that thing you've been wanting to do. Need I remind you that ideal conditions do not exist and will never happen? • I'm aware • Wow, rude
It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

Text reads: 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: Displayed is a screenshot of Firefox showing the config search bar with the listed search. The word "false" is circled in red. Text continues: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the Al chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.
Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:

programs can either be:
foreground
background
stopped (which is more like “paused”)
& runs a program in the background
for example I like to convert 100 files in parallel like this:
for i in `seq 1 100`
do
convert $i.png $i.jpg &
done
jobs lists backgrounded & stopped jobs
$ jobs
[1] Running python blah.py &
[2] Stopped vim
use the numbers to bring them to the foreground or background (like fg %2), kill them (kill %2), or disown them
when you close a terminal tab all jobs are killed with a SIGHUP signal
you can stop this with disown or by starting the program with nohup: disown %1 (job number goes here) nohup my_program &
a trick to kill programs if Ctrl+C doesn’t work
press Ctrl+Z to stop the program
run kill %1 to kill it (or kill -9 %1 if you’re feeling extra murderous)

The murder of George Floyd still weighs on this city and it should. Nothing has been done to stop this from happening again. In fact it often feels like it's just a matter of time. Everyone I've talked with recently feels somewhat similar, especially the heaviness.

Pretty shocked by the replies. Moral judgement aside, they're very useful, lol. Anyone who thinks they're useless doesn't know how to use them.
