I don't have a younger sister I have to share clothes with.

I'd enjoy and update log personally.

None. Don't connect it to the internet. Get a PC and use the TV as a glorified monitor.

Also, WHY should I trust Mozilla with this? I use Firefox because it's the best alternative at the moment. However, Mozilla is degrading that trust by pushing their weather thing, pocket, turning on their ad network, etc.

Like a real reason I should trust Mozilla with this. Any company is 1 executive away from becoming Google levels of anti-privacy. So why would I EVER trust this?

First off, yes, the title of the post is misleading. Mozilla is creating a privacy focused ad system. However, I legit don't get who this is for.

As a user, I'm not turning off my adblockers. Yes, privacy is important. I'm ok with some ads, but I'm not going to risk my privacy and security, because it's not like I'll have a clue who is backing said ads. So it's not for me.

Normal users have shown that they really don't care, let alone have any kind of clue what's going on. So it's not for them.

Advertisers have huge incentive to show you targeted ads. They don't want to show someone an ad on the other side of the planet for something they don't have access to. Also why would they want to show you an ad for something completely unrelated. What's the incentive for them to give up their targeted ads?

It's not like Mozilla is poising themselves for any kind of government oversight. I'm in the US, and the US gov doesn't seem to give a shit. And the EU, while they have GDPR and they're fining companies left and right, it doesn't seem like they're really targeting these kinds of ads. Outside of those two I don't know anything about other countries honestly.

So again, I have zero clue who this is for or why Mozilla thinks this will be successful. There's no incentive or knowledge that this is needed.

I use Firefox. I run Linux. I'm not trying to bash Mozilla here. I'm not trying to be a naysayer. I'm just trying to understand what kind of real world use case this solves and incentivizes users and advertises to use it over the alternatives.

Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I've been playing Enshrouded instead. But I'll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn't allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn't value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I'm totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don't have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I'll take your money, I'll never again kill myself as I'll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren't worth it. People are.

I LOVE this bit:

"will stop measuring its success in new subscribers, but in growth byr egional revenue."

We're hitting our self defined goals JUST fine guys!

Pays $40 billion to allow people to be shadow toxic. What an amazing innovator in our midsts. We're all just so jealous we wish we could be so genius ...

Fucking moron.

Not all companies NEED cloud and containers. But execs push it anyway. That's my point. As I said, they have actual use, but not EVERYONE NEEDS this shit. It's just tech-bros telling us we need it and execs being too stupid to know otherwise.

Oh shit, already forgot

The next big thing is "investing" in NFTs!
