I mainly use Mastodon but I am also on #BlueSky to follow & interact with people who are not here. Having said that, I am pissed that due to the #UK government age verification laws I have to prove my ID/age via a 3rd party company to use the site for direct messaging. Thank you but no. I could use a VPN to get around this but I found more elegant solutions on github. Adding the suggested script into UBlock Origin on #Firefox worked a treat. #privacy https://gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b24a83838202908808ad528b3318

I have 3 apps with support for spellcheck on my new install of Linux with Gnome: Zen (Firefox), Gnome Text Editor and LibreOffice. They have three different amounts of dictionaries I can choose from: 19, 0 and 1. Because of this I have to assume that they all download their own dictionaries. If I add a new word to the dictionary in one app it will not work in any other app. This is annoying! Would love to see work on shared dictionaries across all apps! #firefox #gnome #LibreOffice #linux

Also, Firefox. please! I'm begging you. Even if there's no work on any common dictionaries in Linux, please stop including 18 versions of English in your spellchecker! It's so, so annoying! What even is "English (Israel)"? #mozilla #firefox

@kdkorte@fosstodon.org It's ideal even for 'self-employed' or 'single worker' enterprises. I switched to Linux and FOSS at home while I had an office job using Windows, MS Office, Adobe & Quark. So when my side-hustle became my job I was already familiar with all the software I needed, without spending a single penny. #Linux #LibreOffice #Inkscape #GIMP #Scribus #GnuCash #Firefox #Thunderbird

「Firefox」がフランス企業のAIモデル「Mistral Small 4」を導入、「Smart Window」で利用可能に／仏MistralとMozillaが提携、ビッグテックに依存しないAIの選択肢

Mozillaは9月16日（米国時間）、仏Mistral AIとの提携を発表した。Mistralは、2023年にフランスで設立されたAI企業。英語以外の言語への対応を重視したオープンウェイトの大規模言語モデル（LLM）を開発しており、米国大手（OpenAI、Anthropic、Googleなど）に対する欧州の選択肢として注目されている。
