Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.
One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

I'm just saying .. fuck right off, Google.

"The Metropolitan Museum of Art Puts 490,000 High-Res Images Online & Makes Them Free to Use"
The number of art pieces alone is staggering to contemplate. Having them freely available to browse is incredible, and to then put a #HiRes #scan for all of them into the #PublicDomain is astonishing.
A lifetime of #museum visits to view remarkable #art without a lifetime of travel. No, you don't get exactly the same experience, but holy brushstrokes, Batman...!!!
Hey, US TikTok users, did you know that one of the worst of the vile techlords -- Larry Ellison, who's totally in bed with Trump -- now has control of your personal data from that site?
And his minions will help decide what you see there.
The joint venture acquiring TikTok’s US assets has been formally established and has announced its leadership team, according to the company, one day before the deadline set by President Donald Trump for the app’s US assets to be spun off by Chinese parent company ByteDance.
Reducing the cost of your digital academic life
Before I start this post - a quick announcement. My business partner and pod cohost, Dr Jason Downs, is visiting the UK in late April. If you'd like to meet and chat with him about the products we have planned for On The Reg Team in 2026, shoot us an email to [email protected] with the subject line UK visit and he will get back to you.

The purported Bondi RC is just a culture war talking point.
Everyone with half a brain knows it can’t do anything until the criminal proceedings against the surviving alleged murderer have concluded, otherwise it’d poison his trial and result in his release.
So no Royal Commission can proceed until after the conclusion of the trial and all appeals, which will take years.
The people who call for a Royal Commission know this, and also know that the only sensible response to their calls is, “No.”
The reason they’re calling for a Royal Commission is to force the, “No,” response so they can claim the government is antisemetic.
This is culture war, harnessing slaughter for party-political purposes. It’s deeply immoral, and everyone engaged in it needs to be ridiculed and shunned.

I’ve asked a few times what the point and purpose of a Royal Commission in to the #Bondi events would be. The response generally seems to be an RC would be in to if there’s anti-semitism in this country and if more can be done to counter it. #AntisemitismRC
@xgranade AI has helped me get motivated to write code!
For example, I once said "I could make a script for that but meh, I won't have it ready for Monday", a friend said "ask ChatGPT to do it", and that suggestion disgusted me so much that I wrote the script by hand in 15 minutes out of spite 🙃
