I write screen savers and sell beer. Impresario of DNA Lounge, the world's greatest nightclub. Also wrote your parents' web browser and stuff.
Matt BlazeSo Ford holds the record for shortest interval between assassination attempts. But Trump and Reagan almost certainly hold the record for presidential assassination attempts in closest geographic proximity to one another.

javiFirefox updated their Terms of Use? Let's see!
As you type a search query within Firefox, Firefox offers search suggestions to provide you with faster and more direct access to what youâre looking for. Some of the search suggestions come from your search provider (âSearch Suggestionsâ). Others come from Firefox, and are based on information stored on your local device (including recent search terms, open tabs, and previously visited URLs), or content from Mozilla and Mozillaâs partners, including paid sponsors and internet resources like Wikipedia (âSuggestions from Firefoxâ).Here chat. Here. This is where Firefox dies.
"information stored in your local device" and "content from mozilla's parners" and "paid sponsors".
This is a very convoluted way of saying "we use your personal data to segment you into something we can sell to advertisers".
This is EXACTLY what chrome does, this is exactly why a lot of us stopped using Chrome and moved back to Firefox. In some circumstances Mozillaâs partners will receive de-identified search and interaction data, in order to serve relevant suggestions and measure user engagement with suggested content.This is making me really mad. THIS IS JUST CORPO-SPEAK TO DESCRIBE HOW THE ENTIRE INTERNET ADVERTISEMENT INDUSTRY WORKS. This is HOW FACEBOOK WORK. This is how GOOGLE WORK. This is how the entire programmatic advertisement industry work. This is what we call "sell your personal data". No, no one sells your address, no one sells your name. BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL IN A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE WORLD.
We also work with advertising providers to deliver relevant sponsored content using programmatic technologies. To support this, we may share limited, non-identifying information â such as device type, IP-derived location information, and category of content viewed â to help determine which ads to display. We donât share any information that identifies you. You can turn off sponsored content in your New Tab settings at any time.Oh it's so nice of you Mozilla, to do THE MINIMUM LEGAL REQUIREMENTS when selling our data. You don't share information that identify me? so nice of you! you know how else does that? Meta! Google! Tiktok! Somehow big tech mega corporations are willing to comply with the minimum legal requirements as you do, mozilla!In some cases, we may share or publish aggregated and anonymized data to facilitate research or as part of the lawful business purposes outlined above (such as sharing aggregated insights with advertising partners).This is called "advertisement segmentation" and it's what it paid for Zuckenberg fortress in Hawaii!! Going places, Moz, you are operating exactly as how Facebook used to do in 2016!To provide our services as described above, we may disclose personal data to: Partners, service providers, suppliers and contractors"We never disclose your personal data!!! well, unless it's one of our partners who pays us for it, of course!"
oh wait! they include a table of what kind of data they share with partners!Technical dataLocationLanguage preferenceSettings dataUnique identifiersSystem performance dataInteraction dataSearch dataBrowsing dataThe SHARE FUCKING EVERYTHING. THEY ARE SELLING EVERYTHING. "Unique identifiers" is the closest to personal identifiable data they can sell. That's what advertisers can use to make a profile of you: They may not know your name, but they will know everything else about you.
This is the same information that google collects and sells from you. THE SAME.
Fucking ghouls. This is where Firefox died, folks.
Matthew Lyonthe thing about ânever attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetenceâ is that itâs rat-fuckable
when there is functionally no difference between the two, engaging with someone as if theyâre incompetent means accepting their frame, that what theyâre ultimately trying to accomplish isnât *bad*, theyâre just going about it in a way with bad side-effects, and people use in bad-faith our good-faith willingness to treat them as incompetent to push their agendas
engaging with someone as if theyâre malicious, on the other hand, means rejecting the harmful frame, recasting the argument in terms of âwhy are you trying to do this bad thing?â, and not quibbling about the details of why the thing is bad
these age-verification laws whose implementations are a form of category error is a good example; if you engage with a proponent of them with âwell hereâs why your implementation is badâ youâre tacitly approving the larger idea that surveliance is good, and you just disagree with the techniques; bad-faith actors use this
If instead you come back with âwhy are you trying to surveil everyoneâs computer use? Why are you laying the groundwork to prevent people from using their own computers?â, you re-cast the frame. Sure, there are probably incompetent people who donât realize the results of what theyâre going to do, but casting the larger idea into question AND KEEPING IT IN QUESTION is the only effective path Iâve found to debating people on things like this
so, instead:
donât ascribe to incompetence something that is functionally malicious
