Some users report Firefox scoffing CPU power

: You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

[a-for-effort-f-for-execution]

if you want to turn off as much ai crap in firefox as possible, from this post on mozilla's connect forum, you should also set all these to false using about:config:

browser.ml.enable

extensions.ml.enabled

browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled

browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled

browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

to get rid of the revamped sidebar, which is also trying to incorporate ai:

sidebar.revamp

unrelated anyone got browser recommendations for when we have to jump ship from firefox

[mckitterick]

and now keep in mind that all the other browsers are doing this shit, too, but you can't reconfigure them as with Firefox

on A for Effort's last point, is there any browser that offers users even half as much control as Firefox? if so, I'd like to try it as a backup

As of today every tabletop I'm in is done with(barring Lancer which is on another semi-hiatus), and we're in the in-between point where we figure out what to do next.

Things I wanna do next go around includes:

Playing a character that doesn't feel miserable is more upbeat

Be more of an active force in the game

Try to put more work into active story arcs instead of primarily reacting to the story around me

I am gonna miss my tired sailor, and grumpy soldier lad though. I might do some rough summaries of how the two games ended since I fell off my weekly posts about them I dunno though.

Talnath wouldn't retire. Does need to figure out his standing with the guild he's been AWOL from for over a year though. The party thankfully didn't try to speed run a shotgun wedding with his vampire girlfriend, and/or the party's monk at the end though.

Being an elf those relationship clusterfucks should (in my opinion) take ages to move for various reasons, one of which being Volenta being only recently released from the cosmos' most toxic polycule and Talnath wanting to give her the opportunity to realize her mistake of hooking up with him process that [???] amount of time worth of trauma.

Murtagh despite being made a god by the mechanisms of the universe would totally try to just keep people thinking Manannan was the one in charge while he does dumb explorer shit, and hunt Odin who has at this point more than worn out his welcome in this realm.

I never thought about shipping this character with anyone, but he also spent the first third of the game dealing with alcoholism and survivors guilt, the second third assuming he was dying and swinging rapidly between "Fuck it we ball" and "It's so over" and then he stopped dying and become a robot, and then the last third of the game was dealing with being destined to confront the status quo is the universe and the potential inevitability of divine ascension. How does one date after becoming a cosmic force?

uhhhhhhh guys.... THE MANTICORE PILOT JUMPED IN THIS THING

[redstonedust]

yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.

[chaos-smoothie]

I have something to add to this. every single time I look up reference pictures, I get shitty ai generated bullshit. I've actually reached the point where I discovered that pasting this into google gives you a solid filter for 99% of the ai art. typing in -"word" will filter out all results with that word. I might end up making another one to filter out costumes and all that shit for better historical results when looking at outfits for my characters from various time periods.

if you don't put a space before it, it won't work so keep that in mind. if there are any I might have missed that are still coming up in your results, put them in tags. and I'll add them to the original post. if you see this and you end up using it, please reblog so more people, especially artists and charecter designers, are able to find it. Google is becoming rapidly unstable due to the influx of ai art, and it makes me incredibly sad, first of all, that my work as an artist is becoming rabidly obsolete. This is not worth it. Ai art is not worth it.

Here is the anti ai filter, note that this only works for image searches and only serves as a filter for art. due to the amount of ai writing concealed in media, I have no real way to create a filter for that. I hope this helps the art homies who are sick of this shit, and the people who just want to look at human art for a change:

-”starryAI” -”Krea” -”freepik” -”lexica” -”Midjourney” -”hayo” -”storybird.ai” -"Craiyon" -"ai art generator" -"prompt hunt" -"Opendream's ai" -"nightcafe creator" -"arthub.ai" -"open art" -"playground ai" -"PixAi.art" -"Creative fabrica" -”ai” -”Tensor.art” -”Images.Ai”

So since Palworld has turned out to be backed by an AI shilling Cryptobro, can someone recommend a different monster collecting pokéadjacent game..

That's not Cassette Beasts? Nothing against it, it's not what I'm after.

Last last week tonight today at like 0800 after hardly sleepling.

DnD Sunday: The Underdark is going to shit (yes it was already shit, yes it's getting worse. keep up) Betrayed by my evil* doppelganger in the least in character way but the most narratively predictable way. So that's on me, I convinced the others to let me try to break enemy morale by going for the one on one.

• Should I have known that the DM was gonna go for an attack on the city? Yes, it was the most obvious thing to do. Pull us away from locations of interest causing us to be late for the initial push. We should probably ask our Sponsor* if they have any McGuffins down here we should know about just in case this is a multi-purpose attack since they've had enough time to do as much spying as they could need down here honestly. • Would I as my character turn down a duel in favor of a siege? Hell fuck no, I believe this is the work of other party member's doppelgangers. I would pull my own teeth out before actively sieging a city like this So anyway the Owlin is real life mad because we had an off button for this coming invasion but I wanted to kill my double in single combat, break his cult's morale and try to guide them on a path that doesn't involve an invasion of the surface and blotting out the sun through unknown means. DnD Tuesday: #I_swear_this_isnt_Fate (Morgana Le Dragonne Fey is a real piece of work, I hate her and want nothing but to be on opposite sides of the world than her) Exploring a multi-thousand year old temple where people were doing some fucked up experiments on dragons to try to get one to achieve divinity.. What kind of god they expect to get after torturing one to death I don't know but probably not a good one. All and all not a whole lot to tell, a little exploring shattering a returning oneshot character's world view of their boss by revealing the whole "she's an ancient dragon and is kinda a bitch", small fight with some abominations left in the temple. Just lore chasing to try to fix Morgan's bullshit, that this cult broke. Lancer: Dustgrave (Honestly this is probably spoilers in a slightly too comprehensible way so look out if you don't know.) so we're just gonna leave some space for Ra here before we hit what nothing I'm actually gonna spoil, but am overthinking about We're in some shit, already had to field repair the Death's Head, and burnt a core power or two in a fight. And we're still not at the Mad Scientist (that Space 4chan caused to achieve chim as a prank) yet. So yes we're at that part of Dustgrave, and working with IPSN special forces in the most "I fully expect you to betray us, but my mech has all of the Zero Day Exploits and I do not want to D/D my friends so yes I'll take that hardware you're offering." kinda way I also hate how meaty the enemy mechs are right now.... it's concerning

Happy whichever seasonal holiday you celebrate to anyone seeing this.

Nothing to report tabletop wise really lancer is suffering from everyone's schedules suck + holiday scheduling sucks harder.

DnD Tuesday we had a Christmas special before we went on holiday hiatus

No Christmas Special for Sunday game

••••••••••••••••••••

Yeah it's just quiet on my end I've been playing a lot of Steamworld Build(really fun) and a Pokemon Romhack(Emerald Rogue kinda hard, need to reread some things about mechanics)

While arguing to myself that I don't need a retro handheld, or to modify one of my existing "classic" handhelds. Have been kinda tempted to get a Steam Deck that'd probably replace my aging gaming laptop and any desires of an emulator machine? I dunno needs more research.

I try to keep my wants in control in case my needs in case but you can't help buy just want stuff sometimes.

Anyways I suck at knowing what to tag shit and nothing here is anything anyone probably wants to read so meh

Gets funnier every time.

I love SG1 so much

[tabletopbrainrot]

My poor DM deserves less feral players, or at least a gift basket

I am not sorry, he did not deny anything he just deflected

this is probably an image for ants I apologize I am grandpa* and bad at computers. This post more than any post I have ever made requires context so if anyone asks I can try to get the cork board and string out.

Update: you are too late DM we are shipping them the council of degenerates has spoken

[tabletopbrainrot]

I am once again begging the DM to give the enemy mechs more structure

I punched two different things through a wall, and crit killed a third thing.... I am almost ready to fight another god*

[tabletopbrainrot]

I feel so dumb trying to format a post Tumblr on a browser vs on the app, nothing seems to work right.

Any smart people got an idea?
