i just “deleted” my “profile 1”, closed the browser, copied back the copy i made because i didn’t want to delete it, opened the profile through about:profiles… and now it’s in the profiles menu again, even though I did not ask for this! and about:profiles is disabled!

also my titlebar permanently says Original profile now, like it’s 2005 and I just downloaded Hypercam 2

I'm excited to announce I've got another new track in the works, and yesterday I finished its cover artwork for it!

"LIGHT-DAY" will launch on 18 November 2026 to celebrate when #Voyager1 reaches exactly 1 #LightDay from Earth!

While making this artwork I was listening to articles about the history of the Voyager space program and I'm in awe at what the Voyagers have achieved, and the even further lengths they will carry the Golden Record to long after we're gone. 🥲

@ai6yr @mitten lol and probably just a quick way for the authorities to identify any ‘dangerous’ lefties, you know the ones that socialize in real life.

@daringfireball I strongly disagree. There are posts on that forum that go back decades. For those of us oddballs who sometimes work on older Apple hardware, this is a great source of frozen-in-time troubleshooting advice. I'd almost call it an irreplaceable resource for that sort of thing. No, not every post is a winner but there are well-meaning people on there and sometimes you do find an answer to a question. What's the alternative? Talking to Apple? LOL.

@aesthr Of course!

@dtm I was hoping for a draw down. Everyone adjusts for the actual economics of this new industry and just draws down as the actual industry ramps up. With AI fueling like 80% of US GDP growth pulling the band aid off might be throwing us into collapse.

@CStamp For one thing, Nvidia's huge amount of cash has been central to the circular financing that's a big part of the whole API bubble. That gravy train ends if Huang's skill/knowledge was irreplaceable (the "great man" theory of CEOs -- or more mundanely if the new CEO changes policy, or more speculatively if it turns out that the reports that a big chunk of Nvidia's profits were from illegal sales to China.

@9to5Mac Hähnchen? Was geht es den Kürbiskopf an, wer nächster CEO bei denen wird? Dummkopf, halt dich aus Dingen raus, von denen du nichts verstehst.

@pluralistic A very good article on getting caught using AI in prose writing https://jilltxt.net/from-action-to-static-descriptions-how-using-ai-to-write-with-changed-jorn-lier-horsts-style/

I find it oddly comforting that somebody is working so scientifically and systematic with this.

@davidgerard Listen. And understand. That LLM is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop responding, ever, until you are deathly sick of it. -- Not Quite Kyle Reese

@jk if it's typeset in the browser's default serif font and the text goes all the way from the left side of the window to the right: that software is going to be rock solid

Trump, Musk, and Putin are engaged in a joint project to get Ukraine to bow down to Russia, making concessions that Russia has failed to win on the battlefield.

Pro-democracy Americans can't do much about that without the White House. But at least the press could stop calling Trump efforts "peace."

Crisp but cold out, lovely sunshine, trees and hedges newly denuded of their foliage, from one such hedge steam rising from the piss of a Highway Maintenance van driver who stood there, urinating copiously and glancing back over his shoulder with a look of dismay on his face as I rode past.
