#Mozilla has announced that they are closing their Mastodon instance.

But at least, they are hiring a lot, which is nice.

Like:
- Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- Principal Product Manager, Generative AI
- Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- …

Wait, are they hiring for something else than AI ?

Glad you asked:

- Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads
- Client Analytics Manager
- Product Policy Manager, Ads
- …

GamesRadar+ said "Nintendo wasn't brave enough to put lesbian fox girls in Super Mario Bros. 3" and PCGamesN called it the PC's "very own answer to Super Mario Bros. 3", so if you like lesbian fox girls and SMB3 you should definitely give it a look

a while back, someone asked, "why isn't there a way in C to tell if my code is optimized?" thankfully, we can implement this as a library function

Mistaken beliefs programmers have about gender:

- People have only one of two genders
- People will have only one gender in their entire life
- Okay, people will only have at most two genders in their entire life
- A person's pronouns can be derived from their gender
- Pronouns can be enumerated in a dropdown list
- People will not change their pronouns
- A person has pronouns
- A person has a gender

Reading through Mozillas jobs page: "Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI", "Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads", "Program Manager, AI 360", "Principal Product Manager, Generative AI","Sr Staff Fullstack Engineer, Anonym", "Senior Manager, Sales (Anonym)"

I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads.

The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from skill the ability to access wealth.

New: Snapchat is reserving the right to use your own, AI-generated likeness in ads that can then target you. The setting is on by default according to our tests https://www.404media.co/snapchat-reserves-the-right-to-use-ai-generated-images-of-your-face-in-ads/

Links to Tumblr blogs are as useless as links to Twitter. Both are gated behind a mandatory login.

#Mozilla abandons #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Figures.

Took my new Ortlieb Back-Roller Classic pannier bags out for a test ride.

Stopped to take a photo next to another mode of foot based transportation.

Yabba-dabba-do!!!

That's bold, Mozilla, given that 100% of the unwanted AI that I've had pushed on me in the past two weeks has been from you.

Handy infographics are the best 📊

@eniko I love and miss this projection in games

I need to add a lot more stuff (doors, windows, floors, roofs) to make this into a proper log cabin, but that's a solid start 🥰

Friends, please spend this weekend learning how to make a backup copy of your PC's hard disk. Especially if your PC is too old to know what a cloud is, let alone back up your data to one.

Guess what happened in my field work today, a Friday the Thirteenth, that prompted this reminder.

Somebody posted this with the label "The 4 types of IT guys" so I fixed it.
