Absolutely sadistic.
A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.
The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Mozilla was a non-profit organization and instead of using public funds they started relying on private companies to receive funds. So now if those companies wants AI, they will use AI.
At this point Mozilla is no better than other companies but if you dont want to use Google, what choice do you have?
Do you know any poems by memory?
Boost, please, strictly for our amusement. Fuck science, sometimes.
@nixCraft This is incredibly sad and disrespectful. I am baffled by Mozilla's choices. What a shame.

This is your friendly reminder that low vision users exist. We need font sizes that are dramatically larger than yours.
Many of us use the “minimum font size" NOT zoom, because we need bigger text, not bigger images.
I'm on the very low end of low vision needs, but my 20pt minimum font size breaks SO MANY web sites.
This pic shows how big fonts are on my screen (thumb & ruler for context).

My company food allowance is £50 per day. Realised I can buy a couple of homeless people a sizeable meal whenever I travel and consume fewer calories at the same time. Makes me feel great and have had some great chats with real people. Do it if you can.

Then by the use of some alloy of greater tensile strength, weight for weight, than steel, and by filling the tires and the tubes in the framing with hydrogen instead of air, the weight of a road machine will be reduced to 10 pounds or less, while racing machines will not weigh half that much. The machine will also be made so that it can be folded up and carried about or stowed away in some corner. By improvements in the construction of the bearings of moving parts friction will be almost wholly eliminated, and the method of applying power will be so perfected that there will be absolutely no such thing as lost power.

@nixCraft It's endlessly frustrating to watch Mozilla sabotage themselves like this. Doubly so when Chromium is literally the only alternative.

Every day, Mozilla leadership wakes up and thinks: "How can we piss off the tiny number of remaining users who are our biggest fans?" , all while C suites get millions in salary and add AI slop everywhere.
Given the news, I'm reminded of when I organised a pub quiz which had the questions.
"what did Rosalind Franklin discover?"
And then
"What did Watson and Crick discover?"
End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.
The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.
This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.

I remain astonished by the fact no one at OpenAI thought announcing publicly that they were probably going to default on a trillion dollars of debt might be the thing that causes the bubble to start to burst.
