Nice. Use FreeBSD on your Framework as your daily driver. Test the things that usually go hinky with laptops (wireless, touchpad, battery usage).

For the intel wireless, you'll use this newer driver in RELEASE and CURRENT : https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi/Iwlwifi . It could use a deep dive. A tremendous amount of work has gone into getting this intel wireless interface in working order by #FreeBSD devs. It's been a priority with the foundation, too.

Not commenting the Mozilla layoffs or new direction but I see my timeline going “Oh no Firefox will go full hype on AI”.

This is only due to the framing by Techcrunch: If you read the memo that partially leaked, there's no sign that Firefox will receive a massive influx of generative AI features.

When you say you don't want AI in your browser. Really, you don't want translation services or copy text from image? Not all AI is equal.

Dear @mozilla

The only trustworthy AI is no AI in the browser.

Knock it off.

The original WWW proposal is a Word for Macintosh 4.0 file from 1990. Recovering the text, diagrams, and formatting was not impossible but it was hard. A great example of the use of #emulation for historical research and digital preservation.

Sigh. "The layoffs will affect roughly 60 employees ... Going forward, the company said in an internal memo, Mozilla will focus on bringing “trustworthy AI into Firefox.” https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/13/mozilla-downsizes-as-it-refocuses-on-firefox-and-ai-read-the-memo/?guccounter=1

Firefox has a feature where if a tab is playing audio, the favicon transforms into a sound icon. Yes, good, helpful.

However if you *click* on the sound icon, that mutes the tab. I ONLY ever do this by accident. The tabs aren't very wide and have* no clear dividing lines between each other, so it's hard to precisely hit the bit of tab that isn't a mute button, and also sometimes it doesn't turn into a sound icon/mute button until I've started clicking.

Is there a way to disable this "feature"?

We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-extending-our-mastodon-social-media-trial

We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

Lazyweb, I have a video game history question that I haven't found a compiled list of answers for anywhere, but let me ask for your participation in creating it.

What games _introduced_ the various video game mechanics of the world, and where did that mechanic best shine?

As an example, I'm thinking "dune 2 introduced RTS unit management that was eventually refined into Warcraft/Starcraft" or "Narbacular Drop introduced the portal gun system that was eventually the backbone of Portal 1 & 2."

According to today's Tory press (not linked), the major concerns of the current Minister of Defence are not the persistent recruitment problems for the UK armed forces, nor the lack of any functioning aircraft carriers, but (checks notes) allowing too many foreigners in, EDI policies and, er, gender-neutral latrines. Yeah, it's definitely the woke crowd who have their priorities wrong.
