Why do I confuse Led Zeppelin with Def Leppard, I’ll never know
@Federation_Bot
All we have are Mussolini cosplayers who can’t make the trains run on time, Rockefeller LARPers who can’t build a refinery, and Nikola Tesla tribute acts who’ve never shipped hardware. History will remember this as the age of the cover band. We are ruled by guys who watched a YouTube documentary about Napoleon and said “I could do that” but meant the hat.
@Daojoan not to mention the people who hate fascists but love the footwear

Trump calls for $1.5T budget for 'dream military' https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5677699-trump-calls-for-1-5t-budget-for-dream-military/ #Administration #Defense
Renee Nicole Good was murdered by gangs of professional agitators and domestic terrorists who think they run this country.
Brey how can you not see why your lib leaders fail you?
Trump does an invasion, a Hernan Cortes style kidnapping, and is now doing open oil colonialism - they mad he didn't play Simon Says.
Trump is building gulags, massively increasing the size of the Gestapo, siccing the fucking ARMY on US citizens in their own cities - and they ain't mad about the cages or the Gestapo, they're mad he's doing it without asking anyone first.
Just, come on? BE FUCKING REAL or you GET THE WRONG ANSWER.
They can't be against the invasion - they support it, and helped make it happen. They can't be against the Gestapo and the gulags, they promised to expand the Gestapo and the gulags themselves. They can't be against selling your ass to Data and Tech companies run by billionaire nazi cultists because they taking billionaire nazi cultist Tech money too.
It ain't hard to see. You just ain't want to accept reality is real and they sold you down the river like property.
@gedankenstuecke @linear @fasterandworse @zzt @nuintari @heptapodEnthusiast @firefoxwebdevs i get the impression everyone else in this thread knows much more about firefox's history than Jake
@gedankenstuecke @linear @fasterandworse @zzt @nuintari @heptapodEnthusiast @firefoxwebdevs
in any case, the AI in Firefox is clearly immutable. Check the first two positions on the jobs page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/listings/?team=Firefox
* Director of Product Management, Generative AI
* Staff UX Designer, AI Investment
they're also introducing "your new companion" (it's Copilot but Firefox):

the fix is in and this thread exists to try to get people to object less to this very stupid idea that the users don't want.
jake seems literally not to understand the objections (c.f. upton sinclair). so he keeps trying new prompts to see if UpsetUsersGPT gives a different answer. he must be prompting us wrong, you see.

Re immediately previous boost:

Baking beans today. Managed not to forget the pork OR the onion. 😎👍 3-hours in; halfway there.
@tantramar What time is supper? Might be able to catch a flight just in time! 😋
sev:CRIT BoF in zlib.
zlib versions up to and including 1.3.1.2 contain a global buffer overflow in the untgz utility. The TGZfname() function copies an attacker-supplied archive name from argv[] into a fixed-size 1024-byte static global buffer using an unbounded strcpy() call without length validation. Supplying an archive name longer than 1024 bytes results in an out-of-bounds write that can lead to memory corruption, denial of service, and potentially code execution depending on compiler, build flags, architecture, and memory layout. The overflow occurs prior to any archive parsing or validation.
@cR0w brb I'll just update the _gazillion_ embedded zlib libraries in ... EVERYTHING
variable names are for LOSERS real devs keep them at 1 char long and make it impossible for someone else to ever comprehend the code
I have my travel booked for #FOSDEM. Looking forward to being there.

Oh, yeah. Fuck ICE. Apparently they’re just murdering us in the street now. That’s what they do. That’s where we are.
Three thoughts about Apple pushing* "ChatGPT Health":
• This is why I consider the OS duopoly to be bad, why "just use macOS" is not a sufficient response to Microsoft's rapid descent into slopware.
• When OpenAI implodes, and it will implode in a terrifying way, creditors are gonna come looking for assets. That now includes health data. That's scary as fuck.
• OpenAI is founded on eugenics. Even before they implode, don't give eugenicists your health data.

Trump’s Voters Are Discovering What ‘America First’ Really Means

I realize this is a story from like 50 years ago in internet time, but I wrote about how it was journalistic malpractice for major news orgs to claim that "Grok apologized" when it literally CANNOT do that, and there is no sign that xAI has made a single change to its deepfake porn generator.
