The real problem with humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.
Falling feels like flying, for a little while
Reminder that Facebook hates you and pays people to develop ways to manipulate and control your behavior. Request to download your account data, delete your account, and go outside. It’s less scary than you’re making it and you’ll feel better in the end.
I would think if someone’s up to some actual shady shit that they don’t want to draw the attention of any authorities, they’d be better off using a combination of several of the most popular web mail accounts, like Gmail, and manually encrypting the message before pasting it in or something I dunno, just bc it seems like surveillance systems become less effective with more collection volume, and Gmail has a lot of users
They’re saying that there seems to be a lot of people [online] who support cigarette bans, but probably don’t support bans on the junk foods they enjoy that contribute to a far more severe problem.
Also probably, folks attacking anyone online, including health professionals, who frames being overweight as a negative thing. I’ve seen these exact things [online] myself. I understand it’s a vocal minority though, as is often the case [on the Internet].
Think of all the unnecessary strain on our health care system. The lost economic output. All the mental health issues that compound due to physical health issues relating to fatness.
I actually enjoyed ad personalization when it first started. I got shown ads for things that were actually interesting to me, video games hardware etc, but at this point it resembles what cable TV ads were when I stopped watching TV: car commercials, prescription drugs, baby and feminine products (am not parent, am not female). So now they just spying your behavior to learn the best way to trick you into buying crap you don’t need and don’t supply any sort of reach around.
It’s encrypted over Firefox Sync though, regardless of if you set a master password.
The master password is only needed if you don’t have complete physical security (or your machine is hacked)
Curious if OP was more interested in how secure the Sync feature is vs the manager itself. Sync requires trusting that Mozilla aren’t the bad guys.
Ok here’s my personal gripes/nitpicks
Music:
Movies section had some nitpicks too. Like wishing there was a quick bar when you focus a movie, or at least putting “un/mark watched” in the asterisk menu instead of having to drill into it. The rest is probably just me needing to get used to the playback button design, like pushing up I’d expect to see progress bar and some quick functions but instead I see file info which doesn’t seem like a common thing I’d care to look at. Similarly, being able to click the progress bar and skip to a time would be wonderful vs hitting “right” a hundred times on my crappy Roku remote 🙂
Hope you found my complaining useful!
