  • Onus probandi.

    You make the claims, you serve the proof. You can’t point at a vague, general direction and go “here, proof!”. Especially not a social media feed, that’s the most subjective, volatile “proof” you could provide.

    Quote me the text, in its full context, where it says that Mozilla is selling the data they are “now collecting”, or that it was optional for them without degrading services. Because I can’t find it.

    All I see is data that Mozilla is required to collect to provide existing services, they are now putting it in black on white. I don’t really care what the “general opinion” is, opinions do not automatically become facts once sufficient people hold them.

    I’ve seen Mozilla do bad stuff, this is just a very standard privacy policy update. Let’s criticize them when they actually deserve it, and encourage them the rest of the time.

    Also, nice strawman instead of simply answering my question. 🥰




  • Just because it’s not hate against you does not make it not hate, you privileged little you.

    First they came for the Communists

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews

    And I did not speak out

    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me

    And there was no one left

    To speak out for me










  • Especially in a terminal, it absolutely sounds like it to them.

    A lot of users associate the terminal with “hacking” due to movies.

    You haven’t worked directly with users in an IT setting and it shows. You greatly overestimate the average user’s technical abilities and ability to care.

    I walked in on a user holding a power bar in one hand and the USB end of a mouse in the other while responding to a “mouse not working” ticket.

    I’ve witnessed a user waving a wired desk phone around in the air to get better signal because they were complaining of poor call quality.

    I visited a user who was panicking that their outlook messages were all getting deleted before their own eyes, not noticing that their monitor mounted on arms had fallen on their laptop’s delete key, holding it down.

    I’ve seen how deep the rabbit hole of user inability goes. It’s not pretty.

    Also don’t forget that most terminals paste on Ctrl + Shift + V by default, which is an extra hurdle they have to get over if they’re used to the standard paste shortcut. They won’t think to right-click to paste, and they’ll get frustrated and think the terminal is broken.
