RIP Mozilla
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

fuck yeah. (dabble is great. bit pricey, but fantastic as a minimalist, distraction-free writing app without 1000 unnecessary features)
I don’t use this website or even know what it’s for really (I’m very uncool okay, I use the same websites and programmes), but I am nothing if not a fan of every company making an anti-AI pledge. So, yay Dabble! Four for you, my dear stranger! 💪🫶

sometimes writing is carefully removing each of your teeth, one by one, with pliers and putting them in a tidy little line and waiting to find out if people like the order you put them in

This gets at what bothers me about ChatGPT too: there's no variance in tone, no shifts in emphasis or contrasting complex paragraphs with blunt single-sentence statement grafs, no sense of how it all lays on the page. It's just a fucking relentless drone that fills any amount of space until it stops

I really despise how algorithmic censorship has caused so many people online to speak in infantile euphemisms.

ugh I hope nobody leaks one of these to a reporter! especially not one with Signal, such as meganfarokhmanesh.76, at a publication with great policies for protecting sources, like WIRED
The coolest part about games media layoffs is how all the severance packages now include an NDA requiring laid off employees to stay silent about the layoff, further suppressing reporting on the same corporate behaviours those outlets likely cover when it’s dame devs/publishers.

I love sunlight. It's the most beautiful, precious accident of cosmic placement. It makes photography possible. It warms my skin and makes things grow. I love how it colours the clouds and renders every cloud different. I love the shade of green that leaves take on when sunlight gets 'em from behind
Fuck your complaints. What’s something you love?

I think a lot of (cis) people simply do not understand that being trans isn’t just a sex thing. The idea that one might transition to be happy (and not purely for sexual gratification) legitimately doesn’t occur to them.

i remember life pre-transition as interacting with the world from inside a prison of frosted glass; every interaction was mediated by a translucent yet impermeable barrier. shattering that glass left me covered in cuts and scratches, but i'm out in the open now, vulnerable but free.
Other trans people, give me your weird gender thoughts:
How do you conceptualize your pre-transition self?
Did you "kill" [deadname] so the real You could live?
Did You just become different?
Do you hate or love [deadname]? Or something in between? Has that feeling changed with time?
