Shaded drawing of an anthropomorphic brown cat, golden eyes and blush, curious and enthusiastic expression. They are wearing a blue Sciences Voyager-era Starfleet uniform, checking with a tricorder a botanical sample that is suspiciously reminescent of a jaboticaba bonsai; the setting is the Sick Bay's office, all around botanical and animal samples.

Hey Firefox users.
Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Deep Space Nine scene in three pictures. 
In pic one and two, Jadzia Dax and a old Klingon named Kor are reuniting/hugging it out. Both look absolutely thrilled to see each other. In pic three, the hug ends and they remain close. Kor is an older Klingon, white & grey scraggly  flowy hair and goatee, sharpe teeth, and forehead ridge loaf. Dax is in her blue science uniform on DS9 station. She has what looks like tattoos running up her neck on each side of her face through to the hairline. Closed caption as follows;
Pic one, focused on Kor, "Oh Curzon, my beloved old friend."
Pic two, showing Dax mid-hug, smiling big, "I'm Jadzia now."
Pic three showing both & each smiling towards one another. Kor, "Oh well, Jadzea, my beloved old friend."Alt in pic 1, Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️Alt in pic 1, Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

Happy #TransgenderDayofVisibility #TDOV I'm here, I'm queer and NOBODY is going to disappear me or my community. You may love or hate us but you will never take the pride & joy. I've survived abuse from all angles yet I'm thriving & will continue to fight for our rights until I take my last breath.

President Jimmy Carter’s legacy lives on among the stars. In 1977, the then-president penned this three-paragraph letter that was included with my Golden Records, a message cast into the cosmos.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Be on the lookout for an escaped raccoon in Phoenix @nite.bsky.social
A light pole in a parking lot has many stickers on it, one of which is the mugshot of a blue, white, and black anthro raccoon with a very smug impression (he knows what he did) - the well known troublemaker Strut.

Still thinking back to a week ago, when both ramen parties at FC 2024 were a wild success. In two weeks? Full servings of my ramen will be offered up as part of the hospitality suite for Get Out The Float! 📷: @dubois47.bsky.social, Progrockfurry

Partial annular eclipse today! Annular eclipses happen when the Moon is at or near apogee (furthest from the Earth), and so it doesn’t fully cover the Sun. I couldn’t find my eclipse glasses so I made a pinhole viewer. Total eclipse will be on April 8th!
