Sucks how many people were taught that "horses put their ears back when they're mad" but then never taught the difference between "angry backwards ears," "mildly annoyed backwards ears," "pain backwards ears," "concentrated backwards ears," "sleepy backwards ears" and "just happens to be listening to something behind it."

"Horses put their ears back when they're mad" idk man i think it depends

These are all completely different expressions in completely different scenarios, and only two of them are decidedly negative.

Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.

We know vaccines painful, and by comparing horses at rest with horses getting vaccinated, we've been able to determine how they express pain visually. By looking at horses with disorders like colic, broken bones, wounds, and so on, we can determine their facial expressions during more severe pain.

At zookeeper school we were drilled through the pain faces of the most common lab animals and livestock. Nowadays I believe this has become a routine lesson in all animal related fields, but the general public still doesn't know that this is a thing that exists.

Here are all the pain face/grimace scales I've been able to find. Please study them if you interact with any of these animals on a regular basis:

Some users report Firefox scoffing CPU power
: You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI
theregister.com

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.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

a-for-effort-f-for-execution

if you want to turn off as much ai crap in firefox as possible, from this post on mozilla's connect forum, you should also set all these to false using about:config:

  • browser.ml.enable
  • extensions.ml.enabled
  • browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
  • browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
  • browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

to get rid of the revamped sidebar, which is also trying to incorporate ai:

  • sidebar.revamp

unrelated anyone got browser recommendations for when we have to jump ship from firefox

mckitterick

and now keep in mind that all the other browsers are doing this shit, too, but you can't reconfigure them as with Firefox

on A for Effort's last point, is there any browser that offers users even half as much control as Firefox? if so, I'd like to try it as a backup

mckitterick

irritatingly, the list of AI settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2025), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one):

  • browser.ml.enable
  • browser.ml.chat.enabled
  • browser.ml.chat.menu
  • browser.ml.chat.page
  • browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
  • browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge
  • browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
  • browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
  • browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
  • browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
  • extensions.ml.enabled
  • browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate

in addition to nuking AI, it'll also speed up your browsing

I'm reading a study on how nurses define the term 'drug seeking', and what makes them more likely to put the 'drug-seeker' label on a patient's charts and. well. let me just throw down some quotes

  • "Needy, unable to cope" (<- you try coping with chronic pain)
  • "Comfort seeking" (<- you mean.. having a preference for not being in pain.. how criminal)
  • "Using or trying to obtain drugs on a long-term, chronic
    base" (<- do you understand what 'chronic pain' means.)
  • "Asking for pain med then returning to sleep."
  • "States he’s level 10 pain, but does not appear to be in pain (or ‘5= on appearance)." (<- it is well-known that chronic pain patients tend not to display pain in the same way as acute pain patients)
  • "Dramatic response to pain" (<- notice how this directly contradicts the comment above. you cannot win)
  • "Gets IV med, then leaves unit to smoke or walk around" (<- wow requiring medication and then going off to do something you needed pain meds to be able to do is so suspicious)

the article itself put it best when it says: “some comments depict patients trying to apply sound pain management principles, such as continuing to take medication for persistent pain”. no wonder all the other literature on the matter says that women of colour are the most likely group to be labelled drug-seeking. this shit is entirely vibes-based (read: based on the prejudices of nurses and doctors)
