I guess this warrants a screenshot, as I keep seeing #GNOME + #Linux threads where folks freak out about the "middle click paste" gsetting being set to False by default in gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettin…. Some ask "How dare they hide this into a gsetting to be toggled", or "they should add it to GNOME Tweaks" etc.…
Thing is, it's *already* in GNOME Tweaks, since 2016: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-t…
We were told multiple times the gsetting is not getting removed. I'll keep using it & move on. 
Instead of relying on xsettings overrides, let's make use of a proper gsetting newly added for this purpose that can also be used by gtk+ on the wayland backend. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775847GitLab
Hey @FreakyFwoof have you taken a look at this?
I just got to the crossover reveal chapter, probably gonna be done in the next 30 minutes LOL, shortish chapters but I'm loving it.
Title: The Owl, the Witch, and a Man Named Anthony
Author: White_Squirrel Author
Summary: Holly Potter learnt at Gringotts that her father wasn’t James Potter, but some guy named Anthony Stark.
Tony Stark was very confused when a paternity claim was delivered directly to his bedroom by a snowy owl.
They begin a correspondence of letters, not knowing what bizarre revelations will come of it, all mediated by our favourite Arctic avian and told in real time as the letters are delivered.
Covers Hogwarts first year. Holly was born in 2000. Formerly “Flight of the Post Owl.”

I'm watching people in my feed screaming at each other over Firefox's "AI kill switch" this morning with some trepidation.
As far as I'm concerned, Firefox already has an AI kill switch. It's called browser.ml.chat.enabled, I set it to false more or less the day it appeared, it hasn't mysteriously popped back on since, despite angry posts to the contrary, and that's been that for me. It's disabled every "AI" feature I find objectionable. I'd prefer if Mozilla leadership would sync up with reality on occasion and stop deciding to put this paid placement trash into Firefox in the first place, but at least there's a reliable way to get rid of it.
Everything else people have been screaming at Mozilla about? I'm not sure I see the problem. The little model you can download to summarise web pages for you? I wouldn't trust it, and so I don't think it's necessarily a productive use of Firefox devs' time, but at least it's opt-in. The other little model you can download to help organise your tab groups? I don't use it much, but this one seems more practical, and it's also opt-in, despite the occasional angry report of it slowing down people's browsers even without having been downloaded. Liek, bro, maybe try closing a Slack tab or two.
I don't want ChatGPT in my browser, or Claude, or any kind of world burning data centre LLM pretending to be our new AI god. browser.ml.chat.enabled = false does that for me. It would be even better if it wasn't there in the first place. But tiny, focused ML models doing nominally useful things? I not only do not see the problem there, I'd like some of them to be part of the Web platform rather than just the browser. I've been wishing since they launched them that Mozilla would make an API available to web sites out of those translation models of theirs, for instance.
I'm monitoring the situation, as European heads of state like to say, but so far, despite the posturings of their C-suite types, it doesn't seem like any critical Mozilla resources are being diverted away from maintaining the Web platform into AI boosterism. Every new Firefox changelog is delivering on what it should be delivering on, and it's only occasionally that I see a new "AI" feature advertised. Compare that to a product like VSCode, which has been completely consumed by the cancer of slop production with only one in a hundred changelog entries being about building an actual damned code editor, and I'm not feeling all that alarmed about Firefox just yet.
I know this is Mastodon, but sometimes I just wish people would entertain having opinions that can have some nuance in between "burn the world down so the AGI can live" and "Butlerian Jihad now," you know?

RE: mas.to/@gabrielesvelto/1149428…
With regards to Grok generating CSAM, I'd like to point out that all the image generation models are probably trained with CSAM in the first place. The kind of scraping that was done to train them is indiscriminate and the companies that make them don't care, so god knows what's inside the training data. My recommendation still stands: stay tf away from them
Also, torrenting porn at that scale means that Meta's models are pretty much likely to contain NCII and even CSAM. Keep the fuck away from them.Gabriele Svelto (mas.to)

Remember there are massive protest against the governemnt in Iran, with hundred kill by live ammunition. They are all fighting for their lives and freedom.
The Iran regime was installed by the CIA decades ago.
Just to remind you what happen when the 3 letter alphabet soup agencies on the US touch things. It never turns into gold.
PSA We are happy about the wealth of privacy focused classic email providers (proton, tutanota, posteo, mailbox.org etc) but they are not geared for instant secure messaging. Do yourself, family and friends a favor and use delta with any of the many chatmail.at/relays
Or setup a relay of your own if you feel like it.
Or use a a dedicated chat email address on your own or any classic email server that has reliable service and no obnoxious rate limits or annoying spam handling.
Cheers.

I tried both, and it didn't work 😞
I really liked the fist version, that I used quite often with friends but it was completely different. You could use regular mail.
There's certainly been a lot of work on the new version, but right now I can't join anyone, it's a bit annoying for a tchat.
What is Delta Chat? Delta Chat is a reliable, decentralized and secure instant messaging app, available for mobile and desktop platforms. Instant creation of private chat profiles with secure and i...delta.chat
@Delta Chat
Have you tried calling the person and attempting to onboard them using only voice?
The only thing that came to mind was something like: "Take a sheet of graph paper and start shading in squares. Shade the first square. Now the second. Now the third..." Of course, dictating a link out loud is not much easier.
I hope that onboarding two or three friends a day for about a week will make it clear that all the options you suggested are not great. :)

The new @PixelFed redesign is rapidly taking shape and will replace the entire existing webUI (admin dashboard, settings, guest UI, user UI, legacy UI)!
We are also shipping several new API endpoints and resolving bugs/issues as we proceed with each page redesign.
Stay tuned ✨
