This Isn't a Battle | MyNotes
After reading a post describing the FreeBSD community as 'toxic', I share a different perspective. This isn't a battle. It's a reflection on coexistence, the original Open Source spirit, and the quiet richness of taking a different path.

one thing about being old on the internet is that I constantly forget some people are making money off their online presence. I naively tend to think we're all here for the love of the game.
I'm still of the opinion that we need an organisational fork of Mozilla, preferably not domiciled in the US.
We have technical forks like librewolf, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for new stewards of the upstream code. Although perhaps if the forks want to consider how they'd become a hard fork, with an organisational structure that would work too.
Mozilla is a product of it's surroundings. It's surroundings was silicon valley and well 🤷♀️
Unless they are being held hostage in some way, I truly do not understand people who willingly choose to work at Meta/Facebook. I mean, could be worse, could be Oracle, I suppose?
"Semi-retired" means "still working, just less often."

Citizens United, or as I like to call it, "the worst SCOTUS decision since slavery". Infinite money in politics turns out to be a massive self-own on democracy.

Fun Wikipedia article I fixed up a little: Pittsburgh potty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_toilet), a standalone toilet in the basement of an older American house, mostly found in the midwest, northeast, and Oregon. Often has a somewhat threatening aura. My grandparents in New Jersey had one!

I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla https://manualdousuario.net/en/mozilla-firefox-window-ai/
Does anyone wants AI in anything? Microsoft went batshit crazy about AI and so the others are following them. Google felt like they will lose to OpenAI in search biz and again they went crazy like Microsoft. AI in current format is a huge waste of resources and copyright theft.
I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla
Mozilla is developing a built‑in AI assistant for Firefox that will be offered as a third browsing mode alongside Normal and Private tabs. They’re calling it “Window AI.” Details are still scarce.

It seems somehow fitting that on the last day of the Rust course, the car repair place tells me that I need to replace the entire exhaust system.
Tidied the collection a little.
What I'm listening to today: "An Ambient Jam in 31 Tone Equal Temperament", The Creepy Silence
Western music is based on 12 tones, equally-spaced (on a logarithmic scale), which happen to come very close to "good-sounding" pitch ratios. There are some historical attempts at numbers other than 12.
Here, a launchpad rigged for 31-TET is used to perform 15 minutes of messy, engrossing, exploratory astral disembodiment music. Music for a power outage on a spaceship
What I'm listening to today: "Scandinavia", Billy Woods, ELUCID and The Alchemist
Woods and ELUCID just dropped an album under the name Armand Hammer and it's INCREDIBLE. Woods and clique have this idiom of slowed-down, format-breaking rap music and it gets better and more refined with each release. Parts of "Mercy" sound like early Portishead, other parts sound like nothing I've ever heard before. There's like 4 tracks on here I wanna link but here's some ominous piano

📢 Today, we are pleased to announce that Radicle 1.0 is ready for everyone to use!
After five months of feedback and 17 release candidates, we are finally ready to call this release stable.
Read the blog post for details, and give it a spin. 🎊

2025 Component Abuse Challenge: The VIA Makes Noise, Again
https://hackaday.com/2025/11/14/2025-component-abuse-challenge-the-via-makes-noise-again/
I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

uspol / trans rights
When Trump II came into office, in accordance with their campaign-sized bribe from Elon Musk, they immediately started cutting off passport renewals for transgender people (or sending renewed passports back with the gender marker arbitrarily flipped— "gender assigned at inauguration"). As a trans living outside the US, what I've been waiting for is when passports issued under *previous* Presidents start getting revoked or confiscated.
It's coming (🧵):

Steam Hardware Thoughts
I know a lot of folks have been going on about it, but Steam's latest hardware announcement has been utterly insane for the day and age in which we live.
Consider that they didn't hype it up with a launch event. They didn't sell a bunch of hype and buzzwords. All they did was release a ~6 minute video that effectively described the hardware and what it would provide, and had a webpage with *actual specs on it*.
They invited a bunch of tech reporters/YouTubers to their HQ, but they let them talk to *engineers*, not marketing people. The discussions focused on real capabilities of the hardware, and actual demonstrations. No vapor and promises. Not glitz and glam.
They made it clear this is all SteamOS driven, and that they have a focus of getting *existing x86 Windows software* running not only on Linux, but on ARM and in VR!!
They aren't pitching a closed ecosystem. They said, outright, "This is your hardware, you can do whatever you want with it".
THEY DIDN'T MENTION AI ONCE.
And they're _already_ making a bigger splash than any competitor ever did, even though those competitors have gobs more money they've thrown at this stuff, and tremendously more staff.
It's flabbergasting. I hope they make enough of an impact with all this that people sit up and take notice.
