it is and it's the most that you can do given our situation.

... until they find themselves in a spot like this one, and even then, they don’t even reassess the potential consequences of remaining inside those environments.

the most recent version i've seen of this are my colleague software developers who don't give a rat's ass about the impact that their work is doing so long as they keep getting paid almost a quarter of a millions dollars per year to pay for their investments and put their children is the best possible schools.

i think that external pressures will always force a person-vs-person conflict like your and my example to enable the goals of the platform.

i wonder how much longer i'll be able to move about without face detection being able to spot me because my complexion is too dark.

i do this my setting up a firefox account and syncing all of those things into my account.

that way, my firefox setup is always the same from computer-to-computer as well as from computer-to-smartphone.

that fact that yours is freezing suggests that something is wrong with your setup; do you get the same behavior if you use a non-flatpak version of firefox?

i wasn't aware that it had changed like that; i stopped using it when i switch to linux laptops from linux companies like tuxedo and system76

yes, it's old news to me and probably you; but i think it bares repeating since there will always be someone who didn't already know.

check the distro's changelist to find something like that since not all downstream distros are the same; some are more modified than others from their base.

lemmy has taught me that any platform that touts itself as "general interest" is suspicious because it means that they have an interest attracting as many people as possible regardless of whether or not there's any reason for them to be on there.

like today's tech companies; they want you to become dependent to some degree on their platform to use your attention as leverage for advertisements and investors so that you'll be less likely to leave the platform.

another revenue stream that they leverage your captive attention for is for data harvesting and you need lots of people to make it worthwhile (hence the "general interest") and when that happens, your employers; HRIS/candidate tracking systems; and your government can also purchase that data too and know what you're up to like in the examples that this article shows.
