After you’re in the field for long enough, you start to realise that the structure and flaws in the application mimic the structure and flaws of the reporting structure of the organisation

It was a really fun game!

Getting very “Louanne platter” vibes

Lisa!

In this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!!

Everyone’s up in arms about a literal anonymous counter, but the other option is the current “spy on everything you do”

How is Mozilla getting flak for this outside of a few hardcore nerds that are welcome to use chrome if they so desire…

And I say that as a huge privacy advocate. In the local tin foil hat “privacy matters” nerd and I honestly don’t see the problem.

And quite frankly anyone that’s said it’s a problem has only been able to come up with “it shouldn’t help them count your views “ which is ridiculous, because it’s very anonymous.

Sooo …. Help me out here, what’s the issue?

Jesus Christ, that’s brutal.

Like you’re stabbing a corpse at this point good sir.

The world where I read the release notes.

Ask yourself the same question?

How is tracking better than a counter?

Currently they’re tracking everything you do. Mozilla thinks they should only get a counter.

Which of those is better?

As a user, if this replaces active tracking of your browsing, is that better for you?

Do you need your privacy from web tracking?

Or do you currently love having Google track everything you do?

Its impression tracking, not user tracking and its forced anonymous by design. There’s a few gigantic differences.

And they’re doing it to try and find a better way for advertisers to get some information without having to track everything you do (what happens now)

Huge misrepresentation of the facts.

Mozilla is creating an anonymous way to tell advertisers that someone saw x ads for product y after buying product y so that they can tell if the ads worked without tracking you.

This took me a minute to figure out 😝

The Ukraine is the sideshow.

China was waiting to see what the world did with Russia after the invasion.

China is now weighing whether the world will do the same with Taiwan as they did with Crimea and Ukraine.

The world will not stand by because of tmsc.

This is the problem with leaders that always need “more”

This is going to be a disaster.

On Reddit, wallstreetbets used to call everything “retarded” and they’ve stopped and moved to “regarded” as a way of “almost” saying an offensive word.

What worries me is that usually people tire of the fight and then the corporation wins.

Fighting this fight everywhere is exhausting.

That’s because this is at least their second attempt.

They are giving up on this because of bad publicity.

They’ll just rename it, rebrand it and try again.

They’re telling you that these “private” spaces are allowing for child exploitation because it triggers exactly the thoughts you’re having now.

“Oh I don’t want that, I guess I’ll give up my privacy”

It’s an excuse. Apple had client side image scanning, cutting through ALL privacy. The program basically found 0 child porn images, but instantly that it existed, governments wanted to use it to censor images they didn’t like.

It’s a lie, it always has been. “Won’t people please think of the children” has been used to create horrendous lies of policy since the beginning of time.

You know what existed before these services? The same evil that existed after them.

We can ban knives because a few people stab others with them, but ultimately if your goal is to stab someone, you’ll use what you have available. Perhaps a fork? And society will no longer have knives, but is that actually a reasonable answer? I mean there are no knives allowed in prisons, and they still make decent shanks .

Killing privacy to solve child exploitation is just a nice lie they sell you to convince you that your privacy doesn’t matter. Facebook has zero privacy and it’s currently the biggest distributor of child porn. It’s a huge problem, and clearly the lack of privacy didn’t solve it like they said it would.

Assigning a static address on the nic is a recipe for issues.
