Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.

So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:

In the url bar, type in about:config

It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.

One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:

Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.

The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

The Body Camera: The Language of our Dreams By Alec Karakatsanis

Body Cameras dont even work on cops, why the fuck does anyone try to push the fantasy that they'll work on the National Guard? All they do is force more people to take plea deals because whatever minor fucking offense that they committed is now on camera

Message of Gratitude and Support Request

My dear friends, During the last war, my home was completely destroyed. In just a moment, I lost everything , my shelter, my memories, my safety, my whole world.

Now, I’m trying to return to North Gaza, to the place that once held my life, just to build a small tent and a simple bathroom… something that can give me a bit of dignity, a place to breathe again.

Tent construction cost: around $1,525 USD (includes wood, iron, waterproof fabric ). Bathroom setup cost: around $420 USD (includes water pipes, water tank, toilet, sink, and plumbing materials).

Deadline : 22 October ( Only 40 Hours)

Current Progress: $ 19,164 / $20,730

Most of those iPad babies you're seeing are probably sick of that fucking tablet too.

A lot of parents are very bad at parenting and don't like their children. They don't want to talk to them, be around them or do anything with them. You know, the things kids need and will remember the most once they're grown.

So they train them from an early age that they should always be distracting themselves with something as to not be in the way or annoying the adults.

For me it was books and TV when I was little, and computers later on. That's all I did because it was all I could do without getting yelled at, and it was the closest to human interaction I could get most of the time.

Everyone loves to make fun of & complain about iPad kids but nobody thinks about the struggle of navigating life as an adult when you were forced to spend your entire childhood keeping yourself distracted so your parents didn't have to acknowledge your existence.

This was reposted to YouTube shorts and I would like to point out some comments in the video

Please give your children some damn playdoh and crayons and oversized bits of craft paper to color on. They need something more concrete and tactile than smooth glass.

Maybe they do need something tactile, but you've missed the point of the post. It's not the Ipad itself that's bad, it's the fact that the children are being neglected. You could hand a kid a whole library of books, several kilograms of play dough, a mountain of crayons, and all the craft paper in the world. But, if you don't spend time with them and you simply expect them to use those things to keep themselves busy so you don't have to deal with them, you're still neglecting the kid, and they're gonna end up with the same issues.

IMPORTANT

Running across this post almost immediately after reading the article about how some parents are letting fucking ChatGPT tell their kids bedtime stories now feels serendipitous in a way.

⚠️Please Help my children ‼️

Hello friends, I am Abdullah Salem Abdullah Jaafar, 26 years old, a graduate of the University College with a degree in Information Technology - Multimedia. I used to have a beautiful family; I’m married and have four children, and my wife is pregnant.

I previously worked at a multimedia company, but because of the war, I lost my job, my home, my car, and now I have no place to live or work.

During the war, we were forced to evacuate more than four times. Each time, we had to leave everything behind without taking any of our personal belongings.

I live in northern Gaza.

We were displaced to southern Gaza, then to Deir al-Balah, then to Rafah, and now we live in an uninhabitable tent that is not suitable for living.

My daughter Rahaf was martyred in the war due to Israeli airstrikes. Now I have Iman, Malak, Basel, and my wife is in her seventh month of pregnancy.

Please, I am in desperate need of your help just to provide food and water for my children.

I lost my home and we have become homeless."

Tomorrow is the birthday of my friend Mohammed El Shaer. It's his birthday, he turns 24 and he has survived one more year of this genocide, but I can't say it's a happy birthday. Not at all. My hands are shaking as I type this because I watched a video that he sent me of the aftermath of an air strike landing right in front of his tent while he was resting with his friends. I might post it later as evidence of the zionist genocidal crimes against Palestinians. I don't know yet. One of his friends died in front of his eyes upon impact. All the others were seriously injured.

Please, I beg of you to help him. I can't bear to hear these stories from him anymore. I want him and his remaining family out of there.

The video below doesn't have any graphic visuals.

Hello my friends

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for standing by me through all this time.Thank God, the war has finally ended… but our suffering hasn’t.In fact, it has just begun — the struggle to rebuild our lives, to provide a decent life for our children, and to restore the future that was stolen from us.During the war, my wife gave birth to our baby girl, Masa, amid crisis and famine.Although the sounds of bombing have stopped, the cries of need remain — for shelter, food, water, and clothing. Prices are still unbearably high, and I have no source of income.That’s why I need your support now more than ever,to help me provide a dignified life for my family and rebuild what we’ve lost.

So please help me and donate 🙏

I tried to slip CBD gummies into some kids halloween candy like i saw on the news but the kids recognized them and laughed at me for not having any real weed

These are the sort of people that would lose their life savings to a guy doing three card monte on a street corner if he was wearing a zoot suit and introduced himself as "Vinnie 'Quickfingers' Sanchez".

Some pushback from various folks to the dictatorship.

do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression

Yes, Black men in majority white spaces do. If I don’t smile every single second of the day my coworkers become in intimidated and start asking me what’s wrong, telling me to smile, make jokes about how I’m trying to be a thug/act hard, why am I angry, etc. And it’s not just white men at my job God FORBID I my large Black ass makes a white girl feel threaten because I’m sitting down with a neutral expression.

I’m not trying to take this post away from women and make it about Black men but I want to point out that wether it’s patriarchy or white supremacy; those who feel as if they have power over you HATE to see you not smile. They are so used to people like you smiling to gain their approval that when you don’t there’s a cognitive dissonance that makes them extremely uncomfortable.

That’s why “angry Black women” is a thing. They have to put on a smile for everyone (yes even feminist white women) or we all get uncomfortable.

This is such an amazing response.

My mother urgently needs to continue her treatment abroad.

the border will open in just a few days. Please, don’t leave us alone in this moment… Help me get my mother out so she can receive the care she needs. Imagine if it were your own mother — would you wait? Please donate and share with your audience , every moment could save her life.
