That point is when you run out of fucks. The world and all its shitty people are exhausting. You are pushed and pulled in 15 different directions. Eventually, the energy to deal with all of it depletes and you start prioritizing. Less and less actually matters. Eventually, nothing matters any more when you crawl into your grave. Did the problem get solved? Meh.

Here's a distilled version of the article:

Russian Psyops: Poisoning Online Communities

Russia has developed an effective online tactics game, using cheap and widespread methods to manipulate public opinion and sow discord. Their goal is to create an environment where no online space feels safe or trustworthy.

Tactics:

  • Creating fake accounts to spread false information and ignite conflicts
  • Targeting sensitive topics like race, politics, and hobbies to exploit emotions and provoke reactions
  • Posting "clueless" comments to elicit responses from genuine users, then fueling the resulting flame wars
  • Playing both sides by promoting opposing views with a mix of truth and disinformation

Consequences:

  • Fracturing English-speaking communities and eroding trust online
  • Normalizing toxic behavior and making it seem like "just how things are"
  • Disrupting healthy discussions and debates, creating an atmosphere of hopelessness and cynicism

The Threat:

Russia's online psyops campaign is a real and significant threat to global democracy and community cohesion. By recognizing this threat and taking steps to mitigate its effects, we can work towards preserving the integrity and safety of online spaces.

Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays'?

O'Brien:

No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass stuck in a transporter buffer sayin' something like that, man.

She could have worked for a franchisee, too. If that was the case, a SMB owner is definitely not going to have those records after all this time

Mozilla corp is trash and deserves to fail. The non-profit Mozilla however, can remain and steward Firefox and friends just fine.
