“zzt how dare you accuse Mozilla employees of suffering from very obvious LLM psychosis”
please “enjoy” the State of Mozilla, one of the least hinged things I’ve seen released with pride by an established corporation: https://stateof.mozilla.org/ (epilepsy warning)
note the 2001-style not-Flash intro. the fake captcha. the timecube-esque prattle about AI threatening humanity. “DO NOT ACCEPT DEFAULT SETTINGS”. the ASCII art cop finger in the footer of the main page. all of it. what in fuck is this.
@zzt "we can use the Torment Nexus... FOR GOOD"

@zzt I assume that "doing for AI what we did for the web" means backtracking on open standards to compete with Microsoft and watching their market share drop to sub-5%.

@zzt why are these videos flashing so much holy shit
@lunareclipse @zzt Well you see, firefox corporate drones get firmware updates the same way the Timex DataLink watch did in the 90s. Flashing lights.

Becoming disabled sure has it's perks. -
firefox users: please make the LLM features in firefox a non-default plugin, opt-in, or better yet don’t do them at all
mozilla: DO NOT ACCEPT DEFAULT SETTINGS. slop is destroying the web! *posts a bunch of slop videos and text in an annual corporate update*
mozilla staff: we asked our community and they hallucinated that they don’t like AI even though we prompted them to not hallucinate.
mozilla’s remaining fan: why are you so angry at my best friend mozilla. stop being unreasonable.

@hawyer what, you don’t like open source* LLMs?
* extremely thin open source wrappers around binary blobs provably based on a leaked proprietary model which was itself based on plagiarized and pirated text, images, and videos sourced by unethically scraping the web in the most destructive manner ever devised**
** when convenient mozilla ignores this definition and pretends we’re talking about Firefox’s subpar pre-LLM translation feature that should itself probably be a plugin

@zzt "While we are still guided by full manifesto, five principles are especially relevant in the age of AI:"
*lists three*
Tell me your copy was written by AI without telling me.
@semievolved @zzt don't be unfair, off by 2 errors are easy to make

@zzt Good freaking grief, how much money did they waste on this?
This doesn't even rise to the level of a Ron Popeil ad -- because at least he *knew* what he was selling.

@promovicz mozilla has found the second, secret bottom of the barrel hidden under the first bottom of the barrel
and they used the slop contained within to generate the State of Mozilla!

@zzt The absolute least of its problems, but what kind of weirdo removes scrubbers and play controls from a video?
(The kind who think "proprietary software is like buying tentacle porn toys for your kids" is a reasonable prompt for your slop video creation, I know, I know.)

@zzt "... Choose your future. Choose Life.
But why would I want to do a thing like that?" -

@gnomicutterance that almost definitely has to be a desperate but lazy attempt to stop people from examining the videos too close and realizing how bad they look. same for the flashing and all the cuts: it’s the only way to hide how incoherent these slop videos are

@zzt mozilla used tailwind to build a website to talk about all the wonderful things they've done for the web

@zzt I’ll never forgive the tech industry for replacing writers & editors like me with this drivel. I never truly knew how unnecessary my skills were considered to be until LLMs came along and ripped the mask off. This whole thing hurts to look at and to read… and it doesn’t matter to them. They think it’s good.
I’m bitter to be pushed out of tech but very glad not to be forced to create this soulless lifeless garbage.
@seekingfreedom we're all just cost centres to the capitalist class. You get treated as valuable for only as long as they haven't figured out a way to get by without you.

Non capisco tutte queste critiche per un servizio che mette a disposizione una suite tipo quella di Google ma basata su un SW Open Source, appoggiandosi interamente su un'infrastruttura europea.
A me che sono alla ricerca di alternative a Google sembra quantomeno un'iniziativa molto interessante, sicuramente da tenere sott'occhio visto che al momento non sono ancora partiti (non ci sono neanche i prezzi dei vari piani).
Siete tutti oppositori politici russi o iraniani che avete bisogno di sistemi che vi rendano irriconoscibili anche ai vostri genitori? 😁

Hackaday Links: March 15, 2026
Some days, it feels like we’re getting all the bad parts of cyberpunk and none of the cool stuff. Megacorps and cyber warfare? Check. Flying cars and holograms? Not quite yet. This week, things took a further turn for the dystopian with the news that a woman was hospitalized after an altercation with a humanoid robot in Macau. Police arrived on scene, took the bot into custody, and later told the media they believed this was the first time Chinese authorities had been called to intervene between a robot and a human.
The woman, reportedly in her seventies, was apparently shocked when she realized the robot was standing behind her. After the dust settled, the police determined it was being operated remotely as part of a promotion for a local business. We’ve heard there’s no such thing as bad publicity, but we’re not sure the maxim holds true when you manage to put an old lady into the hospital with your ad campaign.
Speaking of robots, the U.S. Library of Congress recently discovered and subsequently restored Georges Méliès’s Gugusse et l’Automate (Gugusse and the Automaton), a short film from 1897 that’s considered the first piece of science fiction cinema. As far as anyone knows, it’s also the first time a robot appeared on screen, although this isn’t exactly The Terminator we’re talking about here.
The runtime is less than a minute, but to make the short story even shorter: a guy cranks up a robot that gets bigger and bigger until it turns on its maker and starts to hit him with a stick. The human responds in kind by smashing the robot with a cartoonishly large mallet until it poofs out of existence. The modern film school interpretation is that it’s a cautionary tale about the dangers of technology, ye old Black Mirror, if you will. Since nobody can ask old Georgie what he was going for, we’ll just have to take their word for it.
Returning to the desert of the present, Tom’s Hardware reports that at least one manufacturer is starting to pack their new RAM with an additional non-functioning filler module. With prices skyrocketing, this allows folks who can’t afford to fill all the memory slots on their motherboard to stick something in there that at least looks the part. This may seem pointless, but consider that many gamers and other power users have PC’s with clear side panels to show off their elaborate internal layouts. We get it from an aesthetic standpoint, but it also sounds like a new way to potentially get scammed when buying parts on the second-hand market. Though, to be fair, it could be that we’re just overly cynical after watching that Georges Méliès film. At the very least, the current price of memory certainly makes it feel like we’re being hit with a stick.
Finally, what good is living in a cyberpunk world without the occasional bout of rebellion? That’s where the Ageless Linux project comes in. This is a Linux distribution that’s intentionally configured to violate the California Digital Age Assurance Act, which essentially states that the operating system must ask the user how old they are and make this information available to any piece of software that wants to know.
To be fair, being in violation of this law right now is easy — indeed, the OS you’re using now is almost certainly not compliant. But the idea is that it may bend the knee at some point, while Ageless Linux won’t. One could argue that they started the project a bit too early, but frankly, the whole thing is performative in the first place, so if it gets people talking, that’s enough. We’re particularly interested in their idea of making a non-compliant hardware device that’s cheap enough to distribute while still meeting the definition of a computing device, as it’s written in the California Digital Age Assurance Act.
Think they would mind if we borrowed the idea for this year’s Supercon badge?
See something interesting that you think would be a good fit for our weekly Links column? Drop us a line, we’d love to hear about it.
