Comment Sigh (Score 1) 4

Hmm, my languishing submission has generated 3 comments already. I do mostly Teensy/Arduino-style programming, as well as CAD/Design/Graphics, so, programming a browser is not my cup of tea. I don't think they even if I could code a fix that it would go live, anyway. I am all for Privacy-by-Default, and might have coined the term? I would like some light shined in this small dark corner of Firefox. Ironically, I like Firefox, and have used it since it was a 5mb download. Still, want it to do well, but in the end, how is a browser that touts privacy but denies it going to prosper?

[I could ever have one more Slashdot submission go live, I really want it to be one about Privacy-By-Default, the idea that everyone is entitled to privacy in their hardware and software products--unless you explicitly give your permission to relinquish it.]

Submission + - Mozilla Appears to Sweep Their Telemetary-Droppings Privacy-Bugs Aside 4

BrendaEM writes: Myself and others have noticed that Firefox is leaving behind archived and other telemetry data--even when data reporting is turned off. The apparent fact that Mozilla, seems to have marked the bug resolved--when it is not, and offer a nebulous fix date, would suggest that they aren't taking the issue seriously.

I have at least 1,279 telemetry droppings files, in one archive folder alone, it bears to mind that SSD drive prices have gone up substantially, noting that even a small write will affect: one of the 1,000 to 10,000 MLC cycles, one of the 3,000 TLC Cycles, or one of the paltry 1,000 QLC cycles (Ref: Wikipedia: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...).

The existence of telemetry alone is unsettling for a browser that claims " Your privacy always comes first."

Comment Raspberri Pi: The jerk who is still your friend? (Score 2) 118

Okay, their mission didn't end up helping British schoolkids learn programming, and they did poorly not selling out to commercial enterprise, and they made their own proprietary chip version, and they nerfed the boards so you can't expand their memory.

It's like making excuses for that narcissist friend you've been meaning to let go.

Comment Rich People Used Computers to Solve a Math Problem (Score 1) 128

We should understand that AI's cost to humanly will never be equaled by its benefits. Thousands of people have lost their jobs, their livelihoods, and their insurance. Many people have had their personal an intellectual property stolen. Still more of us will have problems affording a computer for any reason. Each day, we lose time when surfing because AI has hit servers to scrape everything and needed them to protect themselves. Ultimately, billionaires are have been given a license to pollute humanity's brainshare.
