  1. The very little, basic telemetry Firefox collects can be easily disabled^1.
  2. What alternative do you suggest to Mozilla? Reject the $500M and blowup everything they've worked so hard for decades to build? I feel like users having to click, at most, a whole 5 times to change their search engine (if they want) isn't that big of a sacrifice to have a major privacy-oriented, non-profit player in the tech sphere.

We already know how these models fundamentally work. Why exactly does it matter how a model produced some result? /gen

What in the world would an "uncensored" model even imply? And give me a break, private platforms choosing to not platform something/someone isn't "censorship", you don't have a right to another's platform. Mozilla has always been a principled organization and they have never pretended to be apathetic fence-sitters.

I hate to be the one to say this, but Reddit has always had a major issue with reactionary, hivemind politics and it's only gotten worse over time. This isn't new by any means.

Awesome to see Google embrace plaintext email! /j

And yet China keeps populating these "ghost towns" over and over again. Almost like the term is nothing more than a xenophobic, alarmist misnomer.

Organize with your local anti-fascists. Unfortunately, some people will never be swayed.

I'll be honest, i really do get that it's repetitive seeing people reply to every Meloni-related post with basically the same message, but the fact is that it simply needs to be said. People can't ignore how irresponsible the reporting on fascism in Italy is, because if we do, that just allows them to keep moving the Overton window towards apathy, and apathy is a dangerous thing in this context.

is this what you're referring to?

The U.S. National Labor Relations Board on Friday resurrected key elements of a policy it eliminated more than 50 years ago requiring businesses that commit labor law violations to bargain with unions without holding formal elections.

It's more complicated than that.

The NLRB, however, upheld on two occasions that Google and Cognizant were joint employers of the YouTube Music workers, and that therefore both companies were obligated to bargain a contract with them. Google said it would appeal the decision.

It's just irresponsible / dishonest for journalists to call her anything other than what she is: a fascist. It is a well-documented fact and something we need to be completely honest about.
