if the firefox devs were serious about literally anything the corp says, one killer feature that would absolutely differentiate them materially from other browsers is to take all the differential privacy tech you made for 'private' advertising and use it to remove LLM slop domains from search engine results pages with distributed downranking and automated removal.
That is the one of the main things you can do at a browser level with the kind of statistical privacy tooling they developed for the advancement of the advertising industry -- yet would still by fully in line with their stilted defense of the ad industry as 'need to invite the ad industry to unilaterally disarm' by allowing 'good ads' -- but would never appear in a browser funded primarily by google.
@aral such a self own. like yeah even in twisted silicon valley logic, go ahead and say that, but the entire survival of your brand depends on people not believing that, so if that's what you're saying you're a really shitty silicon valley company whose business model will always be losing out to companies who are a billion times your size in exactly the same niche entirely unhampered by public perception because they ate your lunch 20 years ago.
edit: excuse me did i say 100x your size on the first go?
Well, it’s not what they say publicly. Only in the *wink* *wink* drinks and nibbles bits between sessions among friends. Folks like that don’t like folks like me when they discover I’m not playing their *wink* *wink* games.
@aral It sounds like they are in a mental bubble. Don’t they understand that they really have only product that anyone cares about - Firefox. And the only reason people care about their objectively less performant product is because of their underdog years when they were perceived as being more credibly pro-user than big tech. It’s not a high standard. It’s the *only* standard that is keeping you in the market right now.
@aral @vartak ya ya that's what i'm saying - they pay for the reputation and the legal defense of saying they are not the sole browser, just enough so that it exists in principle though not in fact. it's not big enough to materially affect their advertising revenue, at 2% competitor share, you've won. but the way mozilla has played this has really fucked up even that defense, because by arguing so vehemently that they need google to survive, they have fucked up the reason for funding them as a passive antitrust defense and the alternative they would have had by direct funding by their actual users
@aral @vartak even their own differential privacy "good ad company" ambitions depend on that dynamic. to have any competitive footing, the product you are selling to advertisers that is quite literally -worse data as a service- is access to the most privacy conscious user that you have exclusive access to. so this entire diversification strategy of doubling down on "maybe google funding will survive but if not we'll be the good AI company" is like a recursive funhouse mirror of bad strategy.
"we need to have fuzzy signal that doesn't give any single contributor undue influence or identifiability over the result" hmm sounds a lot like a system that would be capable of determining if "everyone who went to this domain determined that it was AI slop" or not. that a browser would be uniquely positioned to do.
@aral @dubiousblur If there has to be a taxpayer funded browser, I would insist they fork Chromium instead. This will give it instant feature and performance parity and kind of stick it to Google. They would no longer be able to beat their this new browser on performance, and their contributions to Chromium could be pulled into the new browser. This essentially recruits Google for the public good.
@dubiousblur @vartak Much easier to form a separate independent organisation, e.g., funded by a yearly grant of EU taxpayer money, to hard fork a new browser from Firefox and develop it here.
I don’t think I’ll be holding my breath for the political will to bring about such a project at the moment.
@dubiousblur @vartak We can (just do things) but, as I’ve found as someone just doing something, without funding in this fucked up system it’s as damn difficult road to traverse and I can’t really fault more people for not just doing things under the circumstances.

Nili Naouri la Roumaine dont le visage est aussi long qu’un horizon désertique nous parle de droit comme on cite le cadastre... version Bible.
Imaginez un monde où chacun débarque avec son livre sacré pour déclarer : Ici, c’est chez moi, mon ancêtre a vécu ici… et là… et là aussi !
Abraham ? Figure biblique. Isaac ? Biblique. Jacob ? Biblique. Donc forcément : terrain privé, propriété ancestrale.
Et tant qu’on y est : Moïse a ouvert la mer en deux la mer nous appartient. Abraham a marché de la Mésopotamie à Canaan tout le trajet est à nous. Salomon a eu 1000 femmes donc tous les pays d’origine de ses belles-mères sont à nous aussi.
Les Hébreux selon la bible étaient esclaves en Égypte, donc l’Égypte aussi, c’est à nous.
À ce rythme-là, il ne manque plus qu’un psaume pour réclamer la Lune.
Mes amis, il est temps d’élever le niveau. À chaque débat avec les sionistes, on nous ressort le même argument usé : Les musulmans n’étaient pas là avant, c’étaient les chrétiens et les juifs.
Cet argument démontre une incompréhension totale de l’histoire. Il repose sur une confusion majeure entre religion et ethnie, comme si l’islam était une origine ou une race. Or, l’islam est une foi, et tout peuple peut l’adopter sans cesser d’appartenir à son territoire d’origine. Quand les Arabes sont arrivés en Palestine, ils n’ont pas effacé la population existante. Ils ont fait ce que tous les empires faisaient à l’époque : administrer la région. Et avec le temps, comme cela s’est vu dans toutes les civilisations, la population locale composée de juifs, de chrétiens, de communautés diverses a adopté la langue et la religion du pouvoir en place. Cela ne les a pas déracinés pour autant. Dire que les musulmans ne sont pas natifs revient à dire que les premiers chrétiens de Palestine, qui étaient pourtant juifs ou hébreux d’origine, ont cessé d’être autochtones parce qu’ils ont suivi Jésus. C’est absurde.
Aujourd’hui, les Palestiniens, qu’ils soient musulmans, juifs ou chrétiens, partagent le même patrimoine génétique. Les études ADN le montrent clairement : ils descendent tous des anciens habitants de la région, notamment des Cananéens. Le fait que la majorité parle aujourd’hui arabe ne signifie pas qu’ils sont des étrangers. La langue ne fait pas l’origine d’un peuple, pas plus que la religion. L’arabisation de la région est un processus historique naturel, comme la latinisation de la Gaule ou la francisation des Bretons.
Les Palestiniens sont donc un même peuple, avec des croyances différentes. Et c’est justement cela qui fait la richesse et la continuité de cette terre. L’islam n’est pas une ethnie. La Palestine n’est pas un terrain biblique à distribuer selon les croyances. Et la légitimité d’un peuple ne se mesure pas au calendrier d’apparition d’une religion, mais à sa présence continue sur la terre.
Connaître l’histoire, c’est mettre fin aux mythes idéologiques.
Les Philistins (Palestiniens) sont mentionnés dans la bible aussi, et même si leur descendants d'aujourd'hui sont de sangs mêlés, les Juifs et Israëliens le sont peut être plus encore (sangs mêlés), de par la part majeure d'Ashkénazes, mais aussi parce que c'est l'essence même de l'Universalisme, le nomadisme (des Origines à la Diaspora (qui en plus, de fait, vient du grec spiro, qui veut dire "je sème" (ce qui pour des sémites (arabes et juifs))). Bref, je stoppe les parenthèses.
Toutes les institutions et associations internationales ont peur qu'on regarde de près leur inutilité totale. Donc censurer les réseaux est leur seule réponse..

C'est elle qui commet toutes les atrocités, directement ou indirectement. Le plus révoltant, c'est qu'elle prétende jouer un rôle de médiateur, et les dirigeants arabes le croient et espèrent le meilleur. C'est les USA qui a tué les Indiens, largué des bombes nucléaires sur le Japon et commis des atrocités au Vietnam, en Corée, en Somalie, en Irak et en Afghanistan… la culture des cow-boys et de l'Ouest américain.

Le secteur du BTP (bâtiments et travaux publics) est celui où se produit le plus d’accidents du travail mortel. Rien qu’en 2023, 149 travailleurs du BTP sont morts à cause de leur travail. Le 13 mai dernier, trois maçons mourraient sur un chantier à la suite de l’effondrement d’un mur. Les petites entreprises, les plus nombreuses dans le BTP, secteur où la sous-traitance est le modèle économique dominant, sont particulièrement concernées par les problèmes de sécurité qui mènent à ces accidents. C’est ce que nous a raconté Anthony, 21 ans, qui est déjà très conscient des risques qui affectent son quotidien. Après avoir visionné certaines de nos vidéos où l’on parle de la souffrance au travail, il nous a contactés et nous avons discuté.

Apparently mastodon.social will censor posts and accounts that oppose genocide but will allow incitement of violence against a peace activist delivering humanitarian aid to a starving people in the middle of a genocide (what’s a red cross on top of a person if not a call for their murder?)
Some Germans clearly haven’t quenched their thirst for genocide yet.
PS. Equating criticism of genocide with antisemitism is, itself, the greatest antisemitism as it is equivalent to stating that all Jews are pro genocide, which is, of course, false.

@MehrLin Good to see you have your priorities straight criticising a woman who is putting herself in harm’s way to break a blockade and bring aid to a starving population facing genocide.
When I'm reporting something especially heinous, I'll make sure I archive it first at archive.ph. Then there can be no quibbling about whether we saw what we saw.
it's genocide denying, apartheid denying, colonisation denying antideutsche scumbags. They deny everything to keep their self righteous "fight against antisemtism" upright, and never miss a chance to hate against muslims. It's the same stupid asses that tag "killings jews is never fighting for freedom" and not seeing how antisemitic this is.
They need to get pointed out and kicked out of every place in germany. They hide in performative left aesthetics but there's nothing left about them, they are racist liberals appropriating left aesthetics. It's those people that buy the whole israel queer washing bullshit, celebrating german military in afghanistan for "liberating the afghani women" not seeing that it's just lies covering imperialist interests.

My only issue with the Genocide Convention 1948 is it is limited in scope; ie does not include all protected characteristics under the UDHR and ECHR etc.

My bank invalidated my credit card because someone was trying to charge my card. So far so good, and I'm happy that I didn't lose money to a card fraud. But, ..., in Finland receiving a new card takes 10 to 14 days because they send it via snail mail without tracker. So what's the issue with that? Simple, I can't use ATM, buy food, buy bus ticket, use PayPal, or any online service that uses my credit card. Also, all my online payments are getting bounced (e.g., domain renewals, donations).
So I just called the bank and told them if there is a way I can get a virtual card with fix value so that I can pay my bills. They said no. I asked why you sent it via snail mail when you invalidated both my Debit and Credit card. The answer was "funny": that's how we do it.
This is by far the largest bank in #Finland and it never occurred to them that express mail exists!! Yeah, happiest county on earth for 7th year in a row! I'm very happy indeed if you can't tell. 😐
Just to clarify, I had to "fill" a feedback form over the phone along with the bank operator to suggest usage of express mail! The phone call took 42 minutes and 16 seconds. 20+ minutes waiting behind the queue, and the rest for two questions and filling feedback form! So efficient! Sometimes I wonder why I should spend so much time optimizing my code when banks who literally deal with money are generally extremely wasteful.
