I didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.

Now the
former Senior VP of Marketing of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.

And the
former VP of Ads in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.

Let me repeat this:

The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "
advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!



edit: Bradwood has been promoted to Chief Business Officer of the Mozilla Corporation, not Chief Financial Officer, my bad

edit2: as
@[email protected] pointed out, even if Graham Mudd's title is "SVP of Product", the bio in his page talks about him as the SVP of Product for the Mozilla Ads division specifically. So it may be the case that he hasn't been promoted and he's just on top of the ad division. That being said, Mozilla doesn't have a Chief Product Officer anymore, and that makes Mudd the most senior product person in the entire Mozilla organization, outranking the VP that seems to be org-wide.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

@mwk Zed at least has a toggle in the settings (that actually work) to disable all AI "Features"

Jeff Geerling, the affable and adorkable raspberry pi guy, was a misogynistic forced-birth tradcath extremist from at least 2009 to 2013, and as far as I know, still is today. Do not link to him and do not support his work. This is a matter of record on his own website: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/tags/abortion

@EliteMooseTaskForce The new teamspeak beta has screensharing, and you can selfhost the server (but you need an account with them for the beta)
@malwaretech You are absolutely right!

@mattesilver I don't think you need a rooted device to fake your location. Simple location checks can (currently) be bypassed using a VPN, and in the developer settings on a normal (unrooted) android phone there is an option for a mock location app.

Fingerprints should be secure, as long as the developers follow the basic guidelines by android: https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/biometric#hal-implementation . At least I don't think even rooted devices have direct access to the TEE, otherwise cracking widevine would be a lot easier

@mattesilver If they enforce digital ID like the UK currently does, they just require the websites to implement it, and you need to somehow identify yourself on that website
