Mozilla buys Anonym, betting privacy is compatible with ads
  • The benefit of the doubt logic here Is as follows:

    Mozilla thinks that the ad supported model of the web is essential to continuing to function.

    Mozilla knows that the vast majority of installs have an adblocker installed.

    In order to keep the ecosystem healthy they’re exploring ethical advertising options.

    Counterpoint:

    The vast majority of their income comes from the largest advertising company in the world - alphabet.

    They need to be seen to at least make some efforts to not murder the advertising model through their mere existence while not pissing off the community too much.

  • France in Shock as Conservative Leader Embraces Far Right
  • I disagree with most of those points but even if I grant them this still doesn’t answer how they think the party that hates government will run it better.

    We saw what 15 years of Tory rule did for England. “They can’t be worse” - you’ll be surprised.

  • Apple AI vs. Microsoft AI
  • See how much an exploit for iPhone vs Android will run you in the open market.

    Also how fast a discovered security hole will be patched and distributed to the fleet between the two systems.

    Most Android phones will never get a patch, some will get it 6 - 12 months later and very few within the month.

    Also one is run by an advertising company.

  • France in Shock as Conservative Leader Embraces Far Right
  • This is only partially true. The propaganda money from the big end of town is what’s getting people to vote against their own interests.

    How does voting for the neo feudalists does anything to restore the welfare system?

    The answer would be to vote for the people that want a better functioning government, vote further left not “oh well, I might as well vote for the people that want to burn the government to the ground”

    This is some Brexit level shooting themselves in the foot to spite their face. The British public is slowly waking up to “Oh we were wrong”.

    I just hope the west will have the opportunity to recover from this tilt.

  • 2024 European Parliament election in Germany
  • How will the far right help with any of that? They’re not known for running public utilities.

    One would think that if that’s your problem you’d vote further left - renationalise public utilities etc.

  • Microsoft hit with EU privacy complaints over schools' use of 365 Education suite
  • I don't think there was a time when formatting wasn't important.

    From double spaced text to allow edits, to certain margins, to sectioning, to indexes, to appendices, to properly italicized bibliographical references, to page references etc.

    It assists you in conveying your intent as the writer and if standardized it makes it easier for the reader (ie your teacher) to orient themselves with minimal effort. Similar to having a consistent user interface.

  • Lets test the theory
  • Exactly. The calculus for taking risks is vastly different when there's a safety net. You can treat it as a game and go all in.

    On the other hand if there's even a small chance of losing housing or getting in legal trouble or your family being destitute you take no risks - if you are a person with a sense of responsibility that is.

  • Lets test the theory
  • He had knowledge and connections to the upper echelons and he couldn't make it, and when health concerns arose he went back to his money because it sucks to be working poor and in need of medical assistance.

  • Is a peanut butter sandwich a balanced meal?
  • More than that, most peanut butter has a lot of hydrogenated vegetable fats which are likely much worse than a bit of sugar.

    If the package doesn't have a tablespoon of peanut oil or so pooling at the top when you first open it, that you then need to mix it in, it's hydrogenated.
