True, and then there’s the other side of the coin. Federation exposes you to trolls, nazis, and doxxing.

No we don’t. We need small instances, each with their own specific topics and communities that DO NOT share your information far and wide, like the fediverse does. I don’t think the fediverse model is the way forward.

They should give MLS to the Mozilla Foundation in that case.

This sucks big time. Many users of custom mobile phone ROMs are concerned with privacy, and use Mozilla Location Services as an alternative to Google. Not sure what other options are available right now.

Edit: The more I’m reading about this, the more absolutely fucked up it is. There really are no viable alternatives. Mozilla is going to just take all its collected data offline, and that’s that. Given that they accept monetary donations from the public, they should make the information public for download even if they don’t want to host the service anymore. Unbelievable.

Me neither. It didn’t age the way my mind imagined it before I heard it again.

I had this album when it came out. We used to make fun of this band a little, but secretly liked them. They were definitely as heavy as everything else at the time. Also, they couldn’t speak much English. There was an interview with the bass player where he just kept saying the same thing over and over again.

Supposedly a Cisco software update went wrong and took everything down for a while. That’s the rumor.

Yeah. The whole thing is good. I think the one right after this is good too.

I don’t like to admit it, but I kinda enjoy Gabber.

FFS lay off the artificial intelligence bullshit. I don’t want or need machine learning in my fucking browser. I tell it where to go, and it goes there. This is not a problem that needs solving. There had better be a way to turn this garbage off.

Can’t find it now, but I believe I originally read about it in here: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1alzzep/exclusive_mozilla_names_new_ceo_as_it_pivots_to/

Probably. And that’s why I hesitate to use it.

They subcontract it out to a third party, who’s name I’m forgetting, that doesn’t have a great reputation.

Knower is really good!

I just found this today, so I know nothing about them at all.

Nice. Never heard this before.

And yet the fediverse has the opposite problem. You can never trust that something you deleted has actually been deleted on other servers.

Yes, the band name is a problem.

I don’t use Facebook. Unfortunately, my neighbors use it to communicate. That’s the only reason I have it. I’ve also used the marketplace, but prefer Craigslist.
