Meta is pro-far-right in Brazil :fuck_face:

“Meta AI, an artificial intelligence tool integrated into WhatsApp, rejected requests to create campaign images referencing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but generated images featuring Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and his candidate number.

Tests conducted by Brasil de Fato on Wednesday (14) identified different responses to commands with the same visual proposal.”

@gabrielesvelto I went ahead and filed a bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2081887

@gabrielesvelto I just had Firefox hang on my mac and the hang report seems to indicate a deadlock with the Breakpad ExceptionHandler thread invoking dyld which is stuck waiting for the malloc lock. Any idea if this is a known issue or should I file a bug?

My latest @newscientist.com@bsky.brid.gy cartoon

I just want to point out that the MAGANazi party tried the culture war bullshit with Zohran Mamdani. They tried, and it failed.

They tried the socialism thing. He waved it away by leaning harder into workers rights.

They tried the trans thing. He waved it away by leaning harder into trans rights.

They tried the immigration thing. He waved it away by leaning harder into immigrant rights.

The lesson here for Centrist Democrats is simple. You don't fight Nazis by giving up ground to the Nazis. You fight Nazis by leaning harder into the wind and standing up for individual rights.
