Experimenting with AI services in Nightly

in reply to Hubert Figuière

They have instructions on this page connect.mozilla.org/t5/discuss… about how to use a custom URL which can point locally (instead of using online services); it mentions going to about:config and setting `browser.ml.chat.provider` to `localhost:8080/?q=` or whatever.

*If* they're even going to ship something like this, then they really should have something that's local *first* and actually open source and *also* not require a workaround hack and setting it up yourself.

I'm disappointed.

Liebe Mitstreiter*innen,

die #Bezahlkarte für #Geflüchtete halten wir u.a. für diskriminierend, entmündigend und verfassungswidrig - das haben wir schon öfter gesagt.

Auf dem Treffen zwischen Bundeskanzler und Ministerpräsident*innen letzte Woche wurden neue Details verhandelt, z.B. eine Bargeldobergrenze von 50 €. Gegen all das wendet sich diese #Petition des Flüchtlingsrat Berlin - wie wir Teil der Kampagne gegen die Bezahlkarte:

Gerne teilen!

Die Tempo 30 Anordnung auf der Luxemburger Straße in @koeln ist nicht vom Himmel gefallen.

Obgleich manche Politiker (kein Gendern erforderlich) von Brumm Brumm Parteien das so sehen.

Die IG Lebenswerte Lux hat die Chronologie der Ereignisse zusammen gefasst:

Jahrelanges Nichtstun zwingt zu kurzfristigen Maßnahmen zur Gefahrenabwehr:

Änderungsempfehlung:

Ich wohne in der MEINE STRASSE Nr _ Etage _.

MEINE STRASSE ist nach dem Lärmkataster der Stadt Köln aus 2015, sowie in der Fortschreibung des Lärmaktionsplans aus 2019 als Straße mit hoher Belastung eingestuft.

The CfP deadline for both the #Matrix conference and the Matrix dev room at FrOSCon is pretty soon. Please submit your talks now! Don't think about what to say yet, just yolo it! We don't have much time!

Sad news! The Living Computers Museum in Seattle is dead, and the Allen estate is auctioning off the vintage items. geekwire.com/2024/seattles-liv… They closed their physical doors near the start of the pandemic, but I had always hoped they might reopen.

I bought two vintage speech synthesizers on eBay, an Echo II card (for an Apple II) and a DECtalk Express, specifically to donate them to the museum. Now I guess they'll go to some rich collector who likely won't know what to do with them.

Holy shit. For all of Apple’s greenwashing, they are flagrantly ignoring federal hazardous materials regulations and literally pumping unabated toxic waste into people’s homes near their factory.

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

Truly worth it. I'm actually about to sell my Switch and its games (and I already gave away my Xbox after deleting my account - considering selling them but after playing with the discs 🦜).

Being able to play games from anywhere is one of the very very few ways to fight off platform enclosure and allows me to directly support independent game makers (by getting their work on Itch, GoG, Humble Bumble or Steam itself).

It's not praise for Valve. It's an acknowledgement of options and being more optimistic, we need concrete ones.

Open source is getting stronger in Luxembourg. There is also the "The LibreOffice Conference 2024 will take place from the 10 to the 12 October 2024 in Belval, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg and will be preceded by an open day for the LibreOffice community member meetings on 9 October 2024."

If you're wondering what the gambling gate news stuff is being used to cover. It's this.

"Tories instruct lawyers to fight release of Universal Credit documents ahead of election"

And remember the UK has the lowest welfare benefits of any European country. Universal credit is already spec'd to be punitive. Cutting it only punches down on the weakest and most vulnerable in our society.

Mich würde mal interessieren wieviel Zeit Fuß- und Radverkehr verloren geht durch autogerechte Infrastruktur, #Bettelampel|n und Umwege. Deren Stau ist mir wurst, solange sie danach ihre scheiß Laune nicht an uns rauslassen. Die haben das Elend selbst gewählt.

Si trabajáis por cuenta propia y en algún momento habéis fantaseado con dejar la gran ciudad y mudaros a Soria a comer torreznos, este es el momento.

Acaban de sacar una ayuda por la que si os mudáis a Castilla y León, os dan 6000 euros porque sí.

Más 2000 euros más si es a un pueblo de menos de 2000 habitantes a más de 15km de la capital (como mi pueblo y tantos otros).

Mas 2000 más si tenéis menos de 35 años.
