Jeff MartinYup, it's true. Firefox 128 includes new adtech features that are turned on by default and announced with very little fanfare, so most people might not even know they're there. 
Well, this is me telling you they're there. You might want to go ahead and take a minute to opt out.
Here's the little helpful explainer from Mozilla about how it all works:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution
My read seems to be: Mozilla says website surveillance is generally bad and should be defended against. Cool. No notes. Firefox actually has a lot of nice anti-tracking and privacy features there and that's the main reason why I like Firefox.
But, and I swear I'm not even joking a little bit here, Mozilla goes on to say that advertisers might be happier if Firefox itself just tracked you directly and sent activity reports back to them.
Doesn't that sound great?
Now, to Mozilla's credit, they claim to anonymize the activity reports. And you can still meaningfully opt out of the whole system.
But WTF, mate?! I use Firefox *because* it fights against adtech. Or at least it used to. Now, Mozilla just lets adtech right in the front door and hopes you won't notice? 
Well, we noticed. Mozilla is damage and we need to route around it.
UPDATE: The about:config setting for this is `dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled`. It's a bool. Set it to false to turn it off.

Steve Troughton-SmithOne thing @altstore does that should really get you thinking about alternative payment systems that Apple never would have considered: it has Patreon integration, and can tie access to apps to your Patreon pledge — which gives you an entirely different, personal relationship with your users, and lets you use the same reward system you use for videos, blog posts, merch etc. Alternative app stores don’t just have to recreate Apple’s model. And this provides a CTF-friendly avenue (and 1M user cap)
@PTPetra NVidia lists it as 320W which is still 100W more than my card. Damn
@briannawu ah sorry about that. I couldn't find info about whether the fans were included or just part of the photo (though I didn't look very hard tbh). It seems like it has five fans included. The reviews say they are a bit noisy but it's probably fine. Thermalright is considered great for fans if ever you want to replace or add more
@PTPetra holy shit the 4080 just hoovers power, huh?
@briannawu looks good to me. I'd recommend picking up more fans for the chassis. They normally come with one but it's not great quality and you will want more to create a good airflow. Other than that, I question the choice to pair an NVidia card with an amd motherboard and CPU but it should be fine
J. Martinhold on, let me find my shocked face first
