Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Even before I started making music as a solo act, I had issues being in bands here locally where the dudes in the band expected me to sort of be the cheerleader or the mascot, AKA I got up there and screamed about whatever while they wrote and played all the music. Then I got interested in electronic music projects, and noticed there were so many of these male/female duos with the exact same dynamic. 90% of the time they were romantic partners, and the man was the one writing and producing all the music and even sometimes the one writing the lyrics, while the girl just hopped around and sang/yelped in front of everyone.

Why the hell is there such a pervasive issue across multiple music genres, both mainstream and underground, with women writing songs, playing their own instruments, and producing the music, or at least having a hand in production? Does the long arm of patriarchy really have to extend that far? Even in noise and industrial where it's one woman doing literally everything on stage, there's some kind of perception among mouth-breathers that her boyfriend or husband or some other man helped her "figure it out". The infantilization runs so deep and some men don't even realize they're perpetuating it.

Haus Arafna (Mrs. Arafna with the fat power electronics beats)

Spit Mask (Rachel Jackson at the helm for the industrial crunch)

Youth Code (Very 50/50 between Sara Taylor and Ryan George)

Light Asylum (although now technically solo, Shannon was and still is the brain behind the once-duo)

Xiu Xiu (Angela Seo...need we say more?)

Breathing Problem (Em & Rusty are a power [electronics] couple)

Naked (Also now as solo project of Agnes Gryczkowska, but as a duo they were equal partners)
