So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do: In the url bar, type in about:config It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue. One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top: browser.ml.enable browser.ml.chat.enabled extensions.ml.enabled browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy. The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

A young boy holds a sign that simply states in plain handwriting: Trump hit on my girlfriend

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

perhaps the less people take sci-fi as political lessons the better

i’m running for president in 2028, this is my platform:

- no more spam texts and calls
- smaller cars with weaker headlights
- imprison every person in ice and the trump administration on a remote island for a thousand years

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Never believe what ICE says.

Never believe what this administration says.

Whenever I see lists like this I'm always a little curious whether folks know how many creators of these shonen and seinen blockbusters are women.

Just reminiscing here but my god was x/1999 by clamp such a gorgeous series, and the sfx work was done so well to match.

Interesting section on EA's £55 billion takeover, I'm sure this is all gonna work out so well... "The deal is a huge bet that artificial intelligence can significantly cut EA's operating costs, allowing the equity consortium to manage a large debt load on a company that historically carried limited net debt. Al is already widely used across Silicon Valley to accelerate many kinds of computer programming. In games development, it can be used to replace voice actors and create backdrops and other assets, as well as automating play testing to avoid bugs before release." "The investors are betting that Al-based cost cuts will significantly boost EA's profits in coming years, people involved in the transaction told the Financial Times."

Wait was EA’s big GenAI push a bid to convince potential buyers that it could lower operating costs after a purchase to help pay for debts??

They have like four whole game studios making the Battlefield series, you can’t run a CoD-competing juggernaut with automation.

It requires previously unseeen levels of suspension of disbelief but this anime is basically ‘What If A Boy Gamer Didn’t Gatekeep The Culture & Was Fundamentally Decent Instead Of Scaring The Hoes’.

The purpose of these laws is to censor LGBTQ speech and make children less safe and easier for predators to abuse.

Extremely disappointed in Bluesky for this.

Hayao Miyazaki/Comments “I don’t even remember this one.”

I have this great book of paintings and sketches Hayao Miyazaki did for “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,” mostly as covers for the English-language reprints of the series VIZ did, and they’re all accompanied by what appear to be excerpts from an interview he did under extreme duress

In case AI art didn't made you mad already.

Someone wrote this week, maybe on here, that this administration is best explained through a framework of domestic abuse. Watching agents of the state lash out like this makes that insight seem spot the f–– on.

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right?

IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If—

CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother?

IKARI: Look, let me answer the question.

CHOTINER: Sure.

Just spent an hour trying to free book shipments from Asia being held for tariffs even though books are exempt from tariffs. No luck so far. This is all so incredibly stupid.

Shocked by Epstein’s birthday book? That culture was everywhere before feminism | Rebecca Solnit Feminism exposed the ubiquity of child abuse, rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence – and helped fight that culture
