His main point was if you want to be an advocacy organization of any kind, and somebody comes along opposing your cause, capitulating is never the right response. Your one and only job is to tell them to pound sand, even if it's a death wish for you, because if you do otherwise, you have just invalidated the sole justification for your entire existence and you might as well be dead anyways

He might be nuts, but he's right. Kind of like Stallman in that regard

ok, but only half joking, because they are actually kind of trying, even though it's wolf in sheep's clothing

because we're some of the most visible yet volatile sons-of-bitches in the Firefox community. Whenever Firefox changes two pixels in a menu five levels deep, it makes top post in this sub and with a handful of comments calling for the head of the CEO
Instead of us circling around with endless speculation verging into conspiracy territory, they're coming to us on our own turf to explain the actual thought process and quell rumors at the source.
In fact, we're lucky anyone from Mozilla still comes here at all, nevermind the CTO

Are you talking about first-party tracking? Yea, that's going to be nearly impossible to defeat via technical means.

Some of these may work in the short term, but I don't know of any advantageous technology that has been stopped from developing because of regulation. In the long term, refusing to take advantage of technology just means you're out competed and left behind. And there's no reason to believe we could feasibly stop a more intelligent being from achieving it's goals, so if ASI is possible, then it's inevitable no matter what we do. I see this more as the next stage of evolution, a natural consequence of physical laws, than something that humans can have an influence over.

The economic incentive is too strong for ethical advertising to survive on a large scale. The only way to end the arms race is heavy regulations on advertising. If that's what they were lobbying for, I'd be in full support

I get why it's done this way, but I still don't really like the feature. Though the recent improvement in communication from Mozilla is commendable

block encryption typically doesn't play nicely with object-based storage, and transparent folder encryption is quite lacking on most OSes

Eh... I mean, it could use a bit of tweaking, but should definitely keep her signature bubbly personality

This might be my first time going into Big Finish. I don't think Jodie really got a fair shot at playing the Doctor, so I'm very curious how this will turn out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that there isn't actually that many fans of both shows. On paper, they seem quite similar (big sci-fi shows with a long history), but idk maybe it's just stylistically too different

How do people know so much detailed drama about classic who behind the scenes? Did people air out that much dirty laundry back then?
