I saw when you said America Bad the first time too. Do you have any insights about the contents of this post?

Is spying wrong, Melusine?

It was outdated, but only for a couple months. Firefox ESR is built to last about a year, and it was maintained with security patches up-to-date alongside Firefox Production versions 129, 130, 131, 132... all the way to 139. Only then did ESR 140 come out.

But if Twitch only supports the two most recent Firefox production versions, I guess ESR wouldn't cut it after FF 131 came out.

Your tax dollars -> state-subsidized energy, water, money -> AI companies -> this

In the original announcement that they added translation, they didn't call it AI. They didn't even call it machine "learning" or machine translation there.

They just called it local, automated translation.

Maybe you should take your own advice about reading, and double-check my comment ;)

The earliest draft title seems to be "FBI Subpoenaed X To Get Grok Prompts Used To Create Nonconsensual Porn"

Which, in my opinion, is more technically correct (especially for a draft) but a whole lot harder to parse. They interacted with the Grok makers, which is kind of what I assumed

Waterfox right now is built on ESR 148, which is on par with the latest Firefox release! ESR releases will lag several versions behind, but that's normal (even on Mozilla's side), and I'd be kind of shocked if it was such a big gap

Edit: there was a big gap. 128 to 140 was the right jump, but Waterfox non-betas took a little less than two months to implement the change after Mozilla released it.

To be fair to most people who use phones, I don't think they understand what a browsing engine is, let alone a browser half the time. I got my family to use Firefox, and they don't know it's a browser either.

Funnily enough, it's the other way around: Mozilla has been dumping money into AI VC startups.

The doxxing efforts will be funded by venture capital.

What can LLM providers do? Refusal guardrails and usage monitoring can help, but both have significant limitations. Our deanonymization framework splits an attack into seemingly benign tasks – summarizing profiles, computing embeddings, ranking candidates – that individually look like normal usage, making misuse hard to detect. Refusals can be bypassed through task decomposition.

"Guardrails" are a joke and we all know Sam Altman and Elon Musk care about ethics as much as they care about not abusing their siblings or employees.
