The "Block AI Enhancements" toggle was originally introduced in Firefox 148 Nightly in January following significant community backlash afte
The Firefox "AI kill switch" is here.
Go to Settings > AI controls. There, you can toggle the "master kill switch" on to fully block all the features, which means two things:
you won't see them,
you can't even be asked about them.
The default state is, like before, "available". This means the features are NOT on by default (they never were), but Firefox will let you know about them where they exist (e.g. when you create your first tab group) so that you can choose to opt in.
Please note that Firefox for Android or iOS have never included AI features, so you won't see these settings on your smartphones or tablets.
Please also note that, unlike popular belief here on Tumblr, besides "chatbot in sidebar" (which is simply embedding the same page you'd have normally browsed to), none of these features have ever interacted with anything outside your PC, because they download a small model to your computer, to do everything locally. These small models have never been and are not downloaded until you explicitly agree to turn on one of the features.

"The Soldier" (They/Them)
@bovineblogger
Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget
Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me
Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care
do you fuck with my unwritten story
do you fuck with the weird guy i made

Tanith Lee was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award for best novel, for the second book of the Flat Earth series. She died in 2015. You can buy Tales From the Flat Earth here and here .
You can also borrow some of Tanith Lee’s books from the Internet Archive if you are unable to buy them.
Here’s a link to Night’s Master, the first book in the Flat Earth series.
I cannot recommend Lee’s work enough. And it pains me that I’d never even heard of her until last year.

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.
I love BIONICLE immensely, and have been away from the community for far too long. I've been thinking about jumping back into community Discord discussions, making posts, etc, when I have the time and social energy to devote to it. And with recent changes in my life, that's probably going to be this spring. That said, there is and always has been one little thing that bothers me in BIONICLE fandom, and that thing is the way people talk about the decanonization of romance for characters in the Matoran Universe.
People in this community, on Tumblr, on Reddit, on Discord, loudly proclaim "Love Is Canon", and talk as if the notion that sentient beings could be bereft of romantic relationships is either unbelievable, insulting, or infantalizing, and honestly... Is it? Is it really so bad to imagine the inhabitants of the MU don't experience feelings or have relationships that would perfectly fall under what we would call romantic? Yes, I am aware that the early writers didn't have this in mind, and that it was more the latter half of the franchise where this was largely adhered to, and as such there are obvious contradictions that you could point to in the main storyline. Hewkii and Macku, Matau's lines in movies 2 and 3, Vakama's subplot with Roodaka in movie 3, etc. Nevertheless, all of these could easily be headcanoned into making sense; Hewkii and Macku could outwardly appear romantic but actually be a different kind of deep emotional bond, Hewkii, Macku, and Matau could be rare non-aromantic characters, the Hordika mutation could have caused psychological changes, etc.
Fact of the matter is, the writer's statement that MU characters don't do romance posits a world where aromanticism is either universal or the majority, and I've not met a single other fan willing to engage with that notion. Such a society raises so many fascinating questions that it's a real shame that nobody explores it. What would it be like in a society where the script is flipped so that aromantic is the default, and alloromantic is a rare minority? What if what outwardly seems romantic to readers, or in-universe, to Agori and Glatorians, actually wasn't the same as a romantic bond? I've met multiple people over time that outwardly seemed like romantic couples, but didn't define their relationship as such, or didn't have romantic feelings for each other and just enjoyed being emotionally and physically intimate with each other in ways couples usually are. Hell, what does it even mean for relationships to be romantic? So many fanfics could be written with this premise, so much lore could be speculated from these ideas, and yet it's just outright overlooked by everyone I've talked to over the years.
I'm on the aromantic spectrum, I consider myself to be demiromantic, and more often than not take a long time to conclusively develop romantic interest in others, and most of the time just feel some sort of confusing emotion inbetween for close friends. So obviously I'm going to care about this and feel some sort of way about it, that can't be helped. And I get it, the vast majority of people aren't a-spec, and many people have never even heard of aromantic people due to limited social circles, but it still stings to see the only instance I'm aware of, of a proposed aromantic society on fiction that doesn't treat it as a horrible shame in the text, be outright rejected by fans and spoken of as if it were a form of censorship. It still makes me upset every Valentine's Day and every Pride Month the #BIONICLE tag I follow shows me post after post of rainbow pride flags paired with the phrase "love is canon", as if to assert otherwise is homophobic censorship, as if the absence of romance is in direct opposition to their self-expression. And that's just so disappointing. To be clear, I'm gay as hell myself, I'm a trans lesbian who's just slightly down the aro spectrum, I just don't understand that mentality.
Idk. I just wish I saw more discussion in favor of romance being foreign to MU society. It's comforting to me. And I wish I saw fewer posts framing gay pride as in direct opposition to that concept. I hope I'm not alone on this.
Totally valid and enlightening. It's unfortunate that messages that are intended to be positive and empowering can have the opposite effect to some.
I've always been on the other side of this issue, and hopefully I can explain why? I'm acespec but not aromantic, so it's Greg's justification that they can't have those kinds of feelings for each other because they don't have sex that really bothers me. That's where the feeling of rebellion against the idea comes from for me; not the concept itself, but how we got to this position. I do think it would be really cool to show a Matoran society that is largely aromantic, and that is my personal headcanon. I agree with you that there's a lot of good story potential there. On another note, would be great to see you back in other fandom spaces again!
let me do it for you with mama

Finally made the Twilight Bureau designs, yay!! The are detectives in this AU instead of the mobster life the MC has, and the intermission would just be them attempting to crack their biggest case yet (Aka going to The Hive[the felt replacement]'s mansion and raid the place in search of [SPOILER VILLAIN NAME]'s vault, also featuring some Problem Sleuth type of shenanigans along the way, and then everyone dies, horribly
The first panel edit is from Problem Sleuth and the second one from the Intermission! Featuring some other two concepts for what the panels would be in this universe
You ever think about how Bionicle only has two or three "canon" couples. Unless I'm forgetting one.
Hewkii and Macku, Jaller and Hahli... who else? There's been a few one-sided crushes such as Matau for Nokama, Sidorak for Roodaka, Gorast for Teridax, and Vhisola for Nokama, plus an implied ex-couple if you squint a bit between Axonn and Brutaka.
Other than them, yeah, I can't think of any other relationships that are potentially something besides platonic.
I actually had Roodaka and Sidorak as the hypothetical third one, and like. I'd say they're kinda in a relationship, just not a very stable or healthy one? At least in the movie (I've heard that element isn't really there in the books, but I haven't read Wall of History in months so I'm still on 2003).
