I wouldn’t even say it’s a symptom of fascism, more just a symptom of the same things that give rise to fascism

Don’t forget kidnapping their children and ‘adopting’ them into Russian families

They had the highest turnout, CNN’s exit poll had them at 35% of voters while boomers, the next highest, were at 29%

Gen X was the most trump voting generation. Gen X is people born with to 1980. They’re between 44 and 59, the demographic that voted most heavily for Trump.

USB A is bad and ditching it is the one good thing Apple has done.

There’s going to be a transition period, but we’re at a point where you can buy USB C peripherals for pretty much anything

Your phone is not listening to you. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49585682

Listening to conversations and turning that into interests that can be advertised against is by far the least efficient method they could use. You can get just as good data through normal tracking.

This is just an example of a frequency illusion where you notice stuff because you’re looking for it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion

Are these emails you need to memorize? Diceware would work.

Otherwise I’d just use something like simplelogin and just have it automatically generate one. Then just save it in your password manager.

People learn about different things at different times. If we care about promoting privacy we should be accomodating and not hostile about that.

In addition to everythong everyone has said, one major thing that people often don’t think about privacy is how it relates to enshittification.

Modern software services try to optimize everything to make as much money as possible. Everything is a/b tested, and whatever increases some arbitrary metric is what gets released.

You’ve been hearing about it because there’s been a lot of pushback at all stages of them doing it. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, they’ve kept pushing for it and there’s no indication they won’t go through with it.

Republican vice presidential candidate

Yeah, cause people are just hooking stuff up to chatbots and expecting it to do everyrhing instead of actually building tools for the job they need

Oh yeah generally I’d agree, with firefox I just think it’d be better to do what will push the fewest people away as long as it’s possible to maintain development.

Yeah, this seems like a really bad idea.

Nah, this is a bad idea for the same reasons printing stuff to interact with food is a bad idea. Fdm printing leaves gaps that are perfect for bacterial growth and basically impossible to clean.

Mozilla doesn’t have the sort of leverage to make an impact by abandoning apple devices. Firefox has an incredibly low market share and this could push people to other browsers. People tend to use the same browser for stuff like bookmark and password syncing, so abandoning ios could have larger consequences.

Probably didn’t see them, Epic’s already suing again because of their compliance plan.
