  • This is silly. There's no sustainable way to profit from insurance claims. Whatever short term "profit" Tesla may get from a claim will be wiped out when the insurance companies raise prices to cover it. Insurance companies don't have unlimited money.

  • Joe Rogan is watched mostly by young people, many of which are also too young to realize that cutting social security means they're going to spend a good chunk of their adult life taking care of their parents until they die. That means paying for their housing or living facility, or having them live with you.

    Reaching these young people to get this across to them is the tricky part.

  • Flatpaks are containerized, making them both more reliable and more secure (in general... but it's always possible to fuck things up).

    Besides the benefits to users, there are also huge benefits to developers: they can publish a single package and support nearly every distro with it.

    It's often impossible for a dev to publish and maintain packages for all Linux distros out there, so stuff on AUR is built and packaged by well-meaning, but random people who are not the original developer. This very often leads to the app having bugs and compatibility issues which the developer ends up wasting time debugging and trying to fix even though it's not their fault. (although downstream packagers can fuck this up too by publishing their own unofficial Flatpaks, like Fedora's recent OBS shenanigans)

  • I think it'd be less creepy if there was an easily accessible public dashboard displaying this telemetry. E.g. like counters showing how many people hide the bookmark bar. If you can instantly see what data your browser is sending in an easily digestible format (ie not a dump of JSON in a submenu), it's easier to gain a quick understanding of the benefits vs minimal privacy tradeoffs.

    But it really depends on trust: trust that they're not collecting more than they claim, and trust that the data is properly anonymized. Mozilla has lost that trust.

  • Why would he need to hide anything?

    Because if it got out, he would likely have the rest of the federal government turn on him, even the MAGA republicans. They're driven by witch hunts against conspiracy theories and "deep state" nonsense, but now that they're in power it's hard to keep pretending like the government is hiding shit when you're literally the government.

    But Trump is a puppet for Putin, America's longest enemy? That's a juicy fucking conspiracy right there, and if they can sell it to their constituents, it'd be an easy path to political dominance for any republican who pulls it off. (hopefully it's not MTG)

  • I don't get your point, are you saying that using LibreWolf will still send your personal data to Mozilla? A privacy hardened config should be enough to disable all data collection, unless there's some kind of hidden telemetry in Firefox. That'd be hard to hide considering the open source nature of Firefox.

    Also, looking at the source repo, it seems like LibreWolf is not just a config file, it's also a bunch of patches to the source code, plus they do build from source and publish their own binaries. So if Mozilla does try to sneak telemetry in, the LibreWolf maintainers are well positioned to patch it out.

  • Anyone still using Firefox after this probably hasn't been keeping up with Mozilla's many controversies. If this is your first time here, I can see why you'd decide to overlook it. I did for a long time, but this is the final straw for me. Luckily, instead of building anything useful over the past decades, Mozilla leadership has been instead focused on enriching themselves. That means deleting my Mozilla account right now was easy.

    I've now moved to LibreWolf, because I don't want to support Chromium's dominance, but if that project dies out I'll jump ship. It'll be a real shame if the world gets stuck with Chromium as the only viable browser, but it won't be my fault. It will be Mozilla leadership's fault.

  • Why are you assuming that it is? Maybe it's because I'm not a religious person, but I don't see anything morally wrong with sex work. Whether someone is doing it against their will is a separate issue, but that's not an assumption I'd make without other evidence.

    If you really are coming at this issue from a religious point of view, then there's no point getting into a discussion here since I'm not going to change your mind on that (nor do I care to; believe what you want). Otherwise, I'm curious what your actual arguments might be.

  • And it happened in 2019, a time when he and his people were under a ton of pressure with the upcoming election. Such a high profile case would have been really really bad for the campaign. It's easier to deny a couple of documents than testimony from Epstein himself.

    ... just sayin'

  • My prediction for a future military incel recruitment poster:

    Join the America Russia North Korea (ARNK) alliance in our war against the WOKE DEI Euro Chinese Soros COMMUNIST SCOURGE and you will be guaranteed a VIRGIN wife! ENLIST TODAY!

  • This is a dumb framing. People want to stop climate change to protect themselves and their loved ones from having to live in an inhospitable hellscape and doom humanity to extinction, not because of an emotional connection to the actual planet.
