It was a toy/gaming/computing place. Reminds me of "EB Games", "Kay Bee" and "Waldenbooks" era of US Malls. It definitely existed and you know it now as Gamestop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameStop#Babbage's_(1984%E2%80%931994)
Insert Obiwan Meme: Babbage's.... now there is a name I haven't heard in a loong time.
I always think along the lines of it's not the victim's shame to carry (though victim's certainly feel this way - often for life), so don't cringe at how he's living his life. :)
I don't think I'm being paranoid by saying it:
-
opt-out rollout of every AI feature
-
only slogging through registry to manual opt out until now
-
CEO and board hell bent on monetizing and delivering features users actively do not want. I.e., enshitification
-
I have seen my own AI registry changes revert already once after a patch
I'd say you're being generous calling it poor design. It's actually reverting to "default" on settings when you uncheck instead of storing individual bits and honoring those. Why not revert to opted out - OK, that may be lazy to use a single template, but that's not the way some of their other "master" options work. And I've been a FF user since it's first releases, so this isn't some Mozilla hate. And I won't be going to anything Chromium and because of inertia I may just stick to FF.
It's also crazy that I have been manually configuring away from AI since it wasn't even opt out... it was forced in. Most aren't going to do that and Mozilla knew it going in. And I've already seen those registry settings revert once. Since this control option literally should have been the first feature for AI delivered and their entire AI push has an untrustworthy stink, I'll say it again: I await a future release bumping the setting back "on". "Oopsie! you can just turn it back off or wait for the next patch" after Mozilla and their partners collect their information across millions of users that aren't paying attention.
So, there's a "bug", though I expect to FF it's a feature: If you individually block all of the AI features, then click on the master switch to block all AI, everything's great. But if you revert that master switch suddenly it "forgets" all of your settings and shit is activated again.
It seems by design. And since it's opt in, if FF "accidentally" disables the master switch (I'm betting it will eventually) you lose that extra layer of protection. OH, and I had disabled EVERYTHING in registry (about:config) before this and translations were still available. I guess it's time for me to explore other FF-core options....
Definitely looks like it. Blocking. Who the fuck is spending tokens on AI slop to comment on Lemmy?
Charlie Sheen has been accused of grooming and raping Corey Haim and Corey Feldman and likely other young men during his career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Truth:_The_Rape_of_2_Coreys
Basically it sounds like he'd fuck anything that moved and had the power and money to make it happen and then go away. I am shocked he wasn't in the Epstein files (so far) but only mildly since he didn't have any real political influence or power in Capitalism - just localized to Hollywood.
Those kids got more style in their fucking pinkies than I got in my whole body.
