It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.

I wish the US had a left wing party.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I’ll check the thread.
Yeah I switched from trust to paranoia, it seems, hopefully I’ll settle on a middle ground.

Honestly I don’t think I’m technically adept enough to check this myself. I was following firefox privacy guides, and the (much more competent) people writing them were puzzled about those two.
Of course it’s not necessarily malicious, but it has became hard to be trusting.

In the end I kind of just gave up on privacy, I take mitigation measures as a symbolic gesture, but still assume someone’s watching over my shoulder whatever I do online. Not a good feeling to be honest.

How would I check exactly what data firefox is sending home?

firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net

There are unexpected connections to these two domains that cannot be disabled using firefox options.

Easily? How?
AFAIK no matter what you do, firefox still calls home sometimes.

From what I can tell, the idea is to make you feel like, with a little bit of effort, the privacy thing would be achievable,
but when you actually try, it’s a whole different ordeal.

I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.

Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.

What’s illegal information?

He’s very unthreatening at least.

Because front page wasn’t user generated anymore.

Tyranny is underrated. It was incredibly ambitious, with an actually dynamic story, and inventive story and gameplay elements.
It was very flawed, partially because of the engine I believe (it doesn’t allow large maps at all), but it held so much promise!
I feel like the ideas it introduced have never been exploited fully.

Harmful. It’s noise pollution. It dilutes human contribution and makes it harder to engage with other people.

10 years limit, absolutely non transferable, limited to human beings (not abstract legal entities) .
Eventually extendable to lifetime of the creator if the work is still being developed, to prevent being usurped by copycats.

I also believe that facilitating voluntary sponsorship (a la patreon, but without letting 10% get siphoned by leeches) is preferable to selling works. Especially since distribution is now pretty much free.

I don’t know, Empress comes with her own theme songs, long winded bizarre philosophical rants, beautifully ornamented nfo, and pointless drama with repackers. If that’s a cover up persona, they did a hell of a thorough job.

Reddit was unusable way before the last scandal. Main problems being arbitrary, opaque moderation, astroturfing, low-effort posts, bots, general meanness and negativity.
It got to the point where it felt like you were more likely to interact with a bot or a propagandist than a normal human being.
Reddit is an advertising platform masquerading as social media.
It’ll probably happen here too, but it might take a while.
