Firefox also sells personalized ads

Is this in reference to sponsored content on the new tab page?

and tracks your keystrokes.

Telemetry? Or something else?

You might be right now that you mention it. 🤔

Is it? Maybe I’m out of the loop.

FWIW, EFF just published this:

New Privacy Badger Prevents Google From Mangling More of Your Links and Invading Your Privacy

Better late than never I guess?

Geez I just realized many people probably never lived to see this fixed… fuck. Now I’m sad and feeling extra mortal.

And privacy badger

I see all too many recommendations to use Brave in comments so a post like this is of value.

Linux mint ftw

No. Just no.

And get off my lawn, ya whippersnapper.

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

And studies show people are just as productive putting in 30h as they are 40. So let’s do that. And people will have more free time and be able to focus more on the work at hand.

And make this spyware illegal.

I tape over my webcam when not in use. I wished I could run my own hardware and OS.

Right? If I get my work done on time and put out high quality work and my workload is comparable to others, then that’s all the corp needs to know.

If I’m performing poorly, ok, sure investigate. Otherwise fuck off with this babysitter spyware. It’s insulting.

Ha that hit hard. This is basically the system I just upgraded to. Well at least it’ll run the game well.

I’ve been meaning to watch that one.

"Might as well use curl | sudo bash" omg I’m ded 💀

Ok well 2001 was kind of an outlier… you’re not wrong. It was slow when I watched it in the 90s lol.

But, watch something like The Maltese Falcon. Which I did recently.

I had no issue following. It didn’t plod along in my view (of course I’m middle aged and don’t do tiktok). But it also wasn’t rapid fire constant clamor. There was space to absorb and reflect as the story evolved. And you need that space because it’s mentally challenging.

One thing that hit hard is how it is a good, interesting story above all else. Definitely gives theater vibes and made me realize how hollow a lot of movies are.

Anyway. There are lots of examples from the 60s and 70s that are slower paced and a lot less busy and chaotic than modern films for sure.

My main uses for them weren’t ever desktop but tinkering with simple robotics / telepresence, automation, aprs / mapping, 3d printing (octoprint). Seems like the 5 is overkill for that. I guess there’s always the pi zero.

For all of us bitter people who couldn’t get an RPi 3 let alone 4 for less than a fortune during the recent dark times…

We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.

So I will probably preorder one because why not.

I guess because it’s a cheap way to do embedded computing? Idk.
