Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO

Fuck

I’m not claiming that it was “intuitive”, just that the browser did tell the user exactly what the add-on was allowed to do. Sure, Chrome and Firefox deserve some blame for not making the warning more explicit/dire, but they did make an attempt. Overwriting cookies and rewriting affiliate links are subsets of “access your data”.

Also, I’m not claiming that I knew exactly what Honey was doing, just that I suspected it was shady and recommended no one use it.

It wasn’t “uncovered” though. This is their business model. I’ve told every person I know using Honey for years that it’s a shady extension and they should stop using it. Unfortunately I don’t have a huge following to offset Honey’s massive ad spend.

I’m not calling anyone stupid, but stop treating this like it’s new information. Your browser warned you this might happen when you installed the extension:

The fact that it must be collected at all is the problem. I have very little faith that the government will actually choose a privacy preserving solution, and even if they do, I doubt it’ll be implemented perfectly.

I guess it was filibustered last time it came up. I’m hoping it will die as well, but I won’t count on it.

I think you’ve got arch and debian reversed, and I’m personally hurt by the lack of Gentoo representation 💔

Now do all the Linux distros.

I think you meant to reply to the parent comment?

No kidding. While on the surface the bans are about medical masks, I’m sure there’s a surveillance motive as well.

Vaccines protect the workforce and allow individuals to produce more. People being against vaccines cannot be good for capitalism, can it?

You are allowed to say “fucked” 🤣

100.00$ vs $100.00 I guess? Though I suppose you could turn the period into a comma.

Jesus fuck, you censor the word “motherfucker” but leave the author’s name intact?

If it’s hidden or off-shore, probably not.

While I’m not entirely sure I agree with these points, I do understand them. I only meant to convey that firing guns into the air is on another level of stupid compared to fireworks.

A well-made and safely launched firework has a way lower chance of returning to earth than a 7.62 bullet.

Unless you cause harm to others (like accidentally starting the next pandemic), how could you ever punish someone for treating themselves? 🤣

We don’t, as far as I know, make cutting your own arm off illegal and I fail to see how this is different.

PS: I’m not arguing against you, just noodling philosophically.
