10,000 years ago in central eurasia, people marked the end of the year by hauling evergreens into their yurts because they symbolized eternal life and the coming of spring.
in tyool 2025, we mark the end of the year by re-watching the incest coffee commercial.
it's like poetry. it rhymes.

I think the funniest thing about this is that they apparently found the one zoomer that doesn't actually know how to use a controller beyond the vague understanding of "move finger. button."

big thanks @firefox.com's social media team for this atrocious response to valid criticism of their ever-more pervasive use of AI slop that can only be disabled by digging through about:config, because it finally convinced me it is hopeless and that it was time to look at a fork.
well done!
well done!
Thank you for the feedback David. It's important to note that these features are optional and local models are downloaded if the feature is used.
Skip it entirely if you want. We understand this won't please everyone but we strongly believe in giving people a choice in how they browse.

I've not been doing much but checking my mentions for a few months now, but today I read my feed and had to hear about a geriatric eugenicist with a brainworm writing "poems" about facefucking a reporter, and also that the roblox ceo very plainly says he wants to create child gambling addicts.

I am mostly ignoring everything because everything is unbearably terrible, but I have just become aware that a head of state has made history by actually legitimately corncobbing.

good design is when you make a single point of failure be load bearing for everything.

man, it's just so cool that firefox, the once bleeding edge "no bloat" browser that is still the "least bad" option continues to pile in AI horseshit that you can only disable via about:config rather than in any user-facing config option!
I love how absolutely everything turns to shit over time.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
