Mozilla has a new CEO. Once again iterating that the future of Firefox is AI first, AI by default:
"Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software"
"It will evolve into a modern AI browser"
"AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off."

Today, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo step into the role of CEO of Mozilla Corporation, focusing on becoming the trusted software company.Rebecca Smith (The Mozilla Blog)
Mozilla insist that people trust them. I assume they have insight and metrics that reinforce that view.
Perhaps I am getting old and this truly is the only path forward to maintain an independent browser.
I continue to feel that this is a terrible idea that has likely irrevocable jeopardized the future of firefox and, by extension, the open web.
Rust is is not a "silver bullet" that can solve all security problems, but it sure helps out a lot and will cut out huge swatches of Linux kernel vulnerabilities as it gets used more widely in our codebase.
That being said, we just assigned our first CVE for some Rust code in the kernel: lore.kernel.org/all/2025121614… where the offending issue just causes a crash, not the ability to take advantage of the memory corruption, a much better thing overall.
Note the other 159 kernel CVEs issued today for fixes in the C portion of the codebase, so as always, everyone should be upgrading to newer kernels to remain secure overall.
Pro tip:
You can create a custom search query in your browser that looks like this:
gist.github.com/april/39a832da…
And that will limit your search results to only pages crawled before 2023. Really helps cut down on the amount of slop you stumble across. Feel free to tweak date ranges to your edification.

So how long until the Firefox logo becomes another AI company logo that looks like a butthole?

That it's surrounded by cars and concrete, with McDonald's in the background, just makes it even more poetic.

WordPress's "most OK" status is its strength
the real WordPress lock in is the stupendous numbers of plugins, themes and developers for both. "why don't you move to X" fails to answer "I use *this* fuckin plugin"
the control point is wordpress.org
ClassicPress has its *own* extension repo (with beer and hookers) but it would need full wordpress.org compat to be a substitute
the many many many alternate CMSes and static site generators almost never address "this fuckin plugin i actually use"
not to mention "I have ten years of posts and comments and known URLs here"
tech evangelists are delighted to dive into people's mentions with suggestions that don't address anything the system is being used for. this is about any software whatsoever. because tech evangelists in general are odious idiots.
i've had tech evangelist morons hear "wordpress" and claim "oh comments are a wrong thing to want" and wtf
You weren't lying when you said moving from Spotify to Tidal was quick and easy.
It's all there. I transferred all of my playlists of weird and wonderful music, and there was only 1 song not available.
And with my student status, it's cheaper than Spotify as well.
Let's see how the 30 day free trial goes.
In a grand total of 6 mins I:
- signed up for a Tidal account.
- made a temporary card on my banking app with £0 on it to qualify for the subscription.
- verified my student status.
- downloaded the Tidal app.
- transferred all of my Spotify playlists, albums, and songs to Tidal.
- replaced the Spotify widget with the Tidal widget on my phone.
Then it took another 7 minutes to do the following:
- cancel Spotify.

Spoke to a former colleague recently. Their employer monitors employee AI use and wants to see number go up.
Since the obligatory AI nannying, multiple product teams have fallen apart and they’ve stopped delivering new features of value while users are leaving.
A whole layer of middle management are destroying good products to make a Potemkin village of fake automation to justify their bosses buying crap enterprise software. It’s as if the entire industry had their heads kicked in by a donkey.

Ve Fedoře mi nefunguje vypalování CD/DVD, jen přes roota. Přidat se do skupiny cdrom nepomohlo, wodis hlásí, že se nemůže dostat k zařízení. Neměla jsem ještě čas to debugovat, ale zeptám se rovnou - kam byste to nahlásili jako bug? Asi rovnou na distro jako takový? Uvítala bych, kdyby stačilo nainstalovat brasero/k3b, připojit externí mechaniku a rovnou vypalovat, ne že budu pracně řešit a lovit z paměti jak vlastně fungujou mechaniky na Linuxu.

Muok.: Täytyy julkisesti myöntää haukkuneeni väärää puuta. Tässä viestissä mollasin aiemmin J. Rinta-Joupin Autoturvaa siitä että ei saada korvauspäätöstä. Oon nyt soitellut puheluita sinne ja tänne ja paljastui ettei korjaamo ole koskaan ollut heihin yhteydessä. Toki puhelimessa sanoi että tuskin tästä korvataan mitään joten sinänsä turha sijoitus, mutta ainakin tuli vastaus. Eli homma on jäänyt jonnekin paikallisen VW-marmoritiskin prosessin syövereihin.
Ei pitäis vihaisena postailla mitään.
