This is the only positive thing in the Trump administration so far. I was worried that they were going to de-fang the FTC and DOJ’s antitrust efforts and just start handing out slaps on the wrist again, but nope. It seems they’re going ahead with the Biden-era aggressiveness, which is awesome.

Of course, they’ll never touch Musk’s companies, and it remains to be seen if Microsoft/Google/etc will be able to bribe Trump for a settlement. But at least it’s a glimmer of hope in the otherwise onslaught of depressing news.

What the fuck have you been smoking? Do you seriously believe that the average black male American will die before retirement age?

Xitter isn’t meant to make a profit directly, it’s a loss leader to gain government influence so he can make real money through government contracts via Space X, Starlink, etc

I can see why so many news sites are trying to replace their writers with AI. This article is just a little bit of context followed by a dump of social media posts.

They’re in the business of selling “organic” content to AI companies, but those AI companies don’t want advertiser-unfriendly language in their datasets.

One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren’t a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.

So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!

Ellen Pao-ing

Damn, it really says something about the demographic of Lemmy that nobody in your replies asked what this means.

(I also was on reddit ~10(?) years ago during this one particular controversy)

he has immunity from criminal prosecution, and it could be claimed that Elon (an illegal immigrant) has assets that can be used to help pay off the national debt.

Target’s thing has always been to be “Walmart but fancy”. Fun fact, the last “T” is actually silent, and you’re supposed the pronounce it “Tar-jay”

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.

it seems like Tesla is collapsing on its own

Don’t worry, shareholders! Trump’s upcoming executive order will mandate all federal government vehicle fleets be replaced with Teslas.

From raping her mom to dimensionally merging Nazi brains with Tesla upholstery.

Honestly, CWC becoming a freedom fighter wouldn’t be that weird on this timeline we’re on.

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.

I didn’t know that, but tbh not surprising. Dotcom-era tech bro billionaires are all the same.

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.

Officer says “no no no” and fires three shots at the guy.

I say the same thing when I see some asshole about to steal my kill in Call of Duty

Don’t forget the CEO’s worst crime: he’s the inventor of javascript

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.
