The CTO of Mozilla and some other employee are posting on r/firefox defending this shit.

They say it is their job to help the adtech industry, by finding a compromise between my interests and Facebook & co's interest. Only they get 90% of their revenue from adtech, so their actual job is to sell me out.

This "plan" involves collecting additional data on behalf of adtech right now, and then there's a hypothetical second step, in which they will lobby to force this new system on everyone. Only (a) this second step is not going to happen, and (b) instead of being tracked by adtech companies, I'd now be tracked by "trusted third parties" or some shit which then sell my data, in aggregated form, to adtech companies. Wow. Great improvement this, we now have middlemen that are, uh, by semantic re-definition, not adtech companies.

So the actual second step is "???" and the third step is presumably "profit".

This does not prevent regular ad tracking, this provides additional data to advertisers. It also means Mozilla is now tracking me, and then Mozilla does this "anonymizing" on their servers. I do not trust Mozilla with this data, and I don't trust that no way can be found de-anonymize or combine this data with other data ad networks already collect.

This is not in my interest at all. This data should not be collected. The ad networks can suck it, why should I help them?

Are you talking about the claim that he endangered CIA agents? That was just some bullshit they cooked up to get him on, and I don't think anybody even claimed that somebody actually died.

Imagine thinking exposing the CIA should be a crime, because the poor small beans CIA agents need protection. Who wouldn't want to protect imperial blackmailers, hit men, weapons smugglers and death squad commanders?

You are the traitor for siding with the oppressor.

Ich kann nicht nachvollziehen, wieso die das mit "Auto verliert Vorfahrt" betiteln. Die Beispiele sind doch eher so Kleinkram. Nicht schlecht, aber mal nicht übertreiben hier. Die Vorherrschaft des Autos wird dadurch nicht bedroht.

extension design and strong content filters make AdBlock for Firefox a solid choice for people who don’t necessarily despise all ads

Do these people exist and if so, have they been checked for brainworms?

The rest is also stupid, ublock origin can and does block trackers, and can be made to block more stuff if you want. It's strictly better in every way than the competition, which lets through more stuff, and/or sells your info. The article would be very short though if they just said that.

Am 25.03.2024 wurde unser Konto bei der Berliner Sparkasse mit sofortiger Wirkung gesperrt. In einem Schreiben teilt uns die Sparkasse mit, dass sie diesen Schritt vorsorglich unternommen hat und wir zur Aktualisierung unserer Kundendaten zahlreiche Vereinsunterlagen bis zum 05.04. einreichen sollen. Die Sparkasse ist als Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts an das öffentliche Recht gebunden und darf nicht willkürlich Konten sperren ohne es zu begründen, was sie nicht getan hat. Außergewöhnlich ist auch, dass zu den geforderten Unterlagen eine Liste unserer Mitglieder mit vollständigen Namen und Anschriften gehört.

On 25 March 2024, our account with the Berliner Sparkasse was frozen with immediate effect. In a letter, the Sparkasse informed us that it had taken this step as a precautionary measure and that we should submit numerous internal documents by 5 April to update our customer data. As a public corporation, the bank is bound by public law and may therefore not arbitrarily freeze accounts without providing an explanation, which it did not. It is also highly unusual that the required documents include a list of our members with their full names and addresses.

Yeah yeah, I remember all that shit from back in the day. Die Russen kommen! Die Russen kommen! Oldest trick in the book.

Natürlich, das einfache Volk will keinen Krieg […] Aber schließlich sind es die Führer eines Landes, die die Politik bestimmen, und es ist immer leicht, das Volk zum Mitmachen zu bringen, ob es sich nun um eine Demokratie, eine faschistische Diktatur, um ein Parlament oder eine kommunistische Diktatur handelt. […] Das ist ganz einfach. Man braucht nichts zu tun, als dem Volk zu sagen, es würde angegriffen, und den Pazifisten ihren Mangel an Patriotismus vorzuwerfen und zu behaupten, sie brächten das Land in Gefahr. Diese Methode funktioniert in jedem Land. -- Hermann Göring

Also, I love that you want a source for something that was a top news story for months. You somehow heard, dass die Russen kommen!!! but not the Sondervermögen? You're just fucking with me, aren't you?

In reality, far from stopping the far right, Germany is implementing a far right agenda. Increase police authority? Check. Scapegoat immigrants and other marginalized groups? Check. Build up the military? Check. Suppress protests and dissenters? Check. Impose austerity, providing the fertile ground for fascists? Check.

By the time the AfD comes to power, they won't have to do anything. The liberals (including socdems and greens) will already have created a fascist society.

Palästinensische Quellen melden den Tod eines Mädchens, das mit seinen Verwandten auf der Flucht aus Gaza-Stadt unter Beschuss geraten war. In einem dramatischen Notruf hatte sie zuvor um Rettung gefleht.

Check out the r/worldnews thread. Example:

So let me get this straight.

Israel bombs hospitals to target Hamas terrorists. Everyone hates that because of the indirect casualties to civilian lives and direct damage to precious infrastructure.

Israel then does targeted attacks inside hospitals and ensures only Hamas terrorists die with very minimal damage to anything else. Everyone hates that because "they didn't do it right."

So then how are they supposed to get into hospitals to take these guys down? Is it a free terrorist shelter now? Is everyone inside a hospital safe from retaliation?

They want praise for only committing like three separate warcrimes instead of blowing up the already occupied hospital.

In ihrem Koalitionsvertrag hatten sich SPD, Grüne und FDP darauf geeinigt, biometrische Erkennung im öffentlichen Raum europarechtlich auszuschließen.

Grüne warnen vor unregulierter KI

Dennoch plädierten inzwischen mehrere Grünen-Politiker dafür, der Verordnung auf EU-Ebene zuzustimmen. So sagte der Bundestagsabgeordnete Tobias Bacherle auf Anfrage von Golem.de: "Statt jetzt den AI Act auszubremsen und aufs Spiel zu setzen, muss die Bundesregierung ihrer Verantwortung nachkommen und sich klar für eine Verabschiedung des AI Act einsetzen. Nach jahrelangen Verhandlungen alles aufzuknöpfen, führt nicht zu einer besseren Verordnung. Es führt lediglich dazu, dass wir bei der dringend notwendigen Regulierung von KI sehr viel Zeit verlieren."

Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

Yeah yeah, I've heard that before. There's a whole cottage industry of "experts" that have predicted the imminent collapse of China going back decades. Call me when it actually happens.

López Portillo belonged to a triumvirate of former presidents — all of whom also had connections to the CIA — who waged a “dirty war” against leftist political dissenters and armed revolutionary organizations between 1964 and 1982. Under these three presidents, the Mexican Armed Forces, the Dirección Federal de Seguridad (or DFS, the notorious secret police), and paramilitary groups committed egregious human rights violations. Agents and soldiers were left to their own devices to track down, torture, rape, and kidnap peasants and students, terrorize rural communities and wreak havoc on their crops, and perform extrajudicial executions and disappearances.
