Am I worried about my career? Yup! That said, from starting to write in English to getting Zero Saints published to making barrio noir a thing to a two-book deal with Mulholland to a Stoker, my whole career is about doing the most improbable thing. I just have to do it again…

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update
Avatar whatacartouchebag Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image. 5d Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine. So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do: In the url bar, type in about:config It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue. One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top: browser.ml.enable browser.ml.chat.enabled extensions.ml.enabled browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy. The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.
