I'll elaborate. I believe we're in an AI bubble. AI companies are pushing the overton window on AI discourse. They want the most extreme anti-AI sentiment to be "Sure, it's an overhyped technology right now but there will be reasonable applications down the road". I want to see pushback on this. It doesn't matter if I can disable some AI feature in the settings. The fact that Mozilla is jumping on this bandwagon is deeply disappointing to me.

OH JOLLY
I was lucky enough to get the #Plushtodon from @Mastodon for my birthday today.
Special thanks to @ErikUden who got me into this whole mess of a website :)
Here’s a Portrait of my fiancé @mkbeh1 and her matching #Plushtodon! Oh, and look what arrived in the mail today 👀🦣 #Merchtodon
Someone takes a photo and posts it online. They didn't photoshop something crazy into it, they didn't add any text, they didn't juxtapose it with another image to make a point. It's not a gif or screenshot or a piece of stock photography. It's just a photo they took.
That photo is not a "meme." Even if it's clever. Even if it's funny. It's their work.
Don't fuckin' repost it without credit. Don't pretend like you took it.
I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays.
🚨 THE FINAL EIGHT 🚨
We’ve made it to the quarter finals — only two days away from crowning a winner for Worst Person in Tech 2025.
Don’t miss your chance to vote!
