>I use Firefox + uBlock Origin

Wasn’t Mozilla accused of selling data they collected from Firefox users?

Correct me if I’m wrong.


Even with all the drama Firefox is still an excellent browser, definitely better for privacy and uBlock than Chrome.


They removed wording in their FAQ saying that they wouldn't sell data. It's a subtle distinction, and may or may not make a difference depending on your perspective.


It was overblown.

It's just the paradox of when you present yourself as "the good guys" - people will hold you extra accountable for things that others easily get away with as nobody expects them to do better.

Unfortunately, Mozilla tends to shoot themselves in their foot this way somewhat often.


Being the good guys is the only reason anyone still uses Firefox. If Mozilla doesn't want to be the good guys, we'll use one of their many forks that remove the bad guy code.


Zen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox are privacy minded Firefox forks.


>but a certain amount of slacking off, spending time of social media, etc. is not at all uncommon.

I mean, the statistics support the extraordinary amount of time spent on social media all throughout the day across all generations.


> We must not forget that for a functioning democracy, *impartial and functioning courts* are absolutely essential

Very important for people to remember universally.


Plugin, which gives you access to the UI.


I agree, I think the iPhone mini sales were deeply affected by the iPhone SE. I came back a few months ago looking for an iPhone mini and didn't see any either.


I liked his review. The way he wrote reminds of a funny review for Inception.


If you really really want to clean it all out, you’ll want to do a DFU wipe and install. Basically you plug a USB-C cable from one MacBook to another and then you upgrade the recoveryOS from the second MacBook which lets you bypass all that resetting to Ventura and then upgrading.

>This is ridiculously complex, and thinking you can encode every possible eventuality in law or code is frankly not a serious suggestion.

This actually sounds interesting and I would be down to help pull off such a Herculean task.


I think the point is that this is neither possible, nor is it sensible. Machine systems supervising humans is not human, it is Skynet.


I mean yes, it'd be a safe job to have for decades. You could get paid literally doing nothing.

But also no, this is lunacy. Not only 'itake would like to strip people of their autonomy, they'd also like to strip them from their capacity to do good? That's wishing us a fate worse than death.

Not that it's possible in practice anyway. It's a AGI-complete problem, and any lesser attempts are... well wake me up when any software system implements exceptions and slack around their rigid rules.


Finally!!
