• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI controls is coming to Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I wrote myself a little plugin for firefox.

  It runs nice, and I want to install it permanently. It does something I want.

  Can I? No. Why? Because Firefox… Apparently I’m not adult enough to control my own browser. WTF.

  I have to either get their developer build or become a developer with an account. WTF.

  So I think, I don’t want their developer build, I just want this plugin— I make a mozilla plugin developer account- because apparently that’s how I’m supposed to do it- I try to create the plugin upload —

  Can I? No. Why? Because they want my phone number before I can make a plugin just for myself. WTF.

  So - I ask ChatGPT if there is any work around for this, can it search, I just want to run my own plugin, I don’t want the developer build, I don’t want the developer account, I just want to run my own plugin- ChatGPT says it can’t help me because I’m not adhering to Firefox’s EULA. WTF.

  So I give up on the plugin - and today, I just happen to notice Mozilla silently turned on SYNC for my web history for that fucking Mozilla plugin developer account. So I guess I’m sending them everything I ever do on the web. WTF.

  I go and try to find out what information they’ve stolen from me, can I find it? No. The have some link, to another link, to another link, to another link, which eventually ends up on some page where I can ask them to pretty please send me what information they stole. Why can I not see this without writing a letter! WTF.

  WTF WTF WTF. I hate Mozilla.

  Please let them burn in software hell.

  I mean “no, look up zero knowledge proofs”

  I just want to add:

  If you are in NYC - check out the Chinese and Mexican grocery stores!!! Usually a ton of foot traffic keeps the vegetables fresh. I do most of my vegetable shopping at one particular Chinese store which I find to be the best - [except for the onions (why are the onions so bad - do chinese people not eat yellow onions?)] - and it’s fun to try new vegetables!

  Also, strange, and I’m not sure what to make of it - fish in the Chinese grocery stores costs 1/2 of what it at white-people ones.

  I remember this. This was a turning point. That and the bailouts.

  Bailouts said, “I’m for the rich.” Flint said, “fuck the poor.”

  Is the script basis written by the original author, is it corporate?
