@tchambers Well that's one. Hopefully the start of much better moderation, and not a one-off gesture.

@mischif Firefox captured market share off a despised default that was an objectively worse product. Is that how the general public views Chrome? Edge?The situation is not the same.

Oooh, new LOL DLL Hijacking technique! www.securityjoes.com/post/hide-and-seek-in-windows-closet-unmasking-the-winsxs-hijacking-hideout[1] Our research team has evolved the classic DLL Search Order Hijacking techniqu by deliberately targeting files located in the WinSxS folder.[2] Our approach lowers the probability of detection compared to the classic DLL Search Order Hijacking, as the malicious code operates within the memory space of a trusted binary located in the Windows folder WinSxS.[3] Unlike traditional methods, there is no requirement to introduce your own vulnerable binary, as Windows already includes various files stored in the WinSxS directory that can be leveraged.

First earthquake where Fedi was the first news source to show me data. That feels significant.

@brettowe I have it, and other sources, but my point was about Fedi's ability to deliver timely emergency information.

Where does all of this leave the Firefox browser. Surman argued that the organization is very judicious about rolling AI into the browser — but he also believes that AI will become part of everything Mozilla does. I can't wait to find out what will happen when all the Firefox evangelists wake up to find an LLM baked into their darling.techcrunch.com/2024/01/03/whats-next-for-mozilla/

In the early days of Firefox, people moved away from other browsers because Firefox was significantly better at blocking annoying pop-up ads. Now, Surman argues, Mozilla needs to think about what the equivalent of pop-up blocking is for today’s users. “The question that we’re asking ourselves now is: What’s the pop-up blocker for the AI era? What’s the thing that people are really going to want that stands for them and makes the experience of the internet better?”My brother in Marduk, it is still the ad blocker. In fact, it's an AI blocker and an ad blocker.

It's been a minute, so here's your reminder that the claim that "quote posts are mostly toxic" is untrue and has been roundly debunked. absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2023/01/12/quote-tweeting-over-30-studies-dispel-some-myths/

If you think LLMs-—well, bosses armed with LLMs—won't come for your knowledge work because your work is :sparkles_fiery: too special :sparkles_fiery:, you are not paying attention.The LLM output doesn't have to be as good as you. It just has to be good enough so nobody notices.Never underestimate the desire to reduce reliance on human capital.

@tek Oh my goddddd this is the worst. Every Q&A for every talk should provide Koosh balls to audience members so they can pelt anyone who decides to give a monologue for their question.
