that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

[atalana]

summary for those lacking energy/means to read the linked page:

firefox has very strong anti-tracking protections

advertisers keep trying to find ways around those protections

instead of wasting time and resources fighting all the ways these problems pop up, firefox is trying to remove the need for advertisers to track you at all

if you have this setting on, and you click on an ad (it's only when you click on an ad and interact with the ad's website - it's not counting misclicks), firefox will make a note of it (this is only stored in your browser, firefox is not selling this part)

firefox then encrypts all that data so it can't be traced back to you, before sending those notes to people who count them up

the advertisers will then periodically receive a report that says "hey, x amount of people clicked on your ad in this time frame. you can use this data to decide if this is the right place to put your ad"

hopefully this will get the advertisers the information they want without having to tell them anything about your specific browser history

if this still makes you uncomfortable, the way to opt out is very easy (go to settings -> privacy and security -> web advertising preferences, and uncheck all the boxes)

firefox is out here fighting the good fight guys. they're the only browser that even slightly manages to stand up to chromium, but it's a losing battle - spreading misinfo is just trying to sink the ship

does anyone notice that even in places where autism is accepted and so on people will still make a point to complain about behaviours that are linked to autism or is that just me. Sorry that every autistic person isn’t just someone with a special interest who’s a little blunt sometimes. Sorry that autistic people have the capability to be annoying or difficult to be around, and most of the time that’s exacerbated by them being autistic. I guess accepting autism came with the clause that people still get to point at things we do and say isn’t that the worst. Don’t you understand how hard it is for me to be around people who do this. When people choose to do this it makes them a bad person and they should be ashamed. Whatever

I know this sounds like the deranged ramblings of a senile old man but I swear it used to be possible to look up information on the internet

I think it’s very fun and beautiful that there are nontraditional fic formats that certain fandoms can do and do well, and whole genres of fic that are popular in one fandom that you may never see in another

[unwastelandunbaby]

fics that read like court documents or academic papers or journal entries or published antique love letters with footnotes by historians…25k+ of plot told through only photoshopped text and email screenshots, news headlines, and tweets… it can be so fun to find that conditions specific to certain characters or worlds lead perfectly to unique formats mmmm good shit

So for y'all who don't know, Everclear is some serious shit. Your typical hard alcohol is gonna range from 30-50% alcohol by volume. Your vodkas, rums, and gins will sit around the 30-40% range with whiskey and bourbon being closer to the 50% mark. Everclear? Everclear is at a minimum 60%, the good news is that bottle is thankfully the minimum 60%. (You can tell by it being 120 proof, to get percentage you just halve the proof.) Everclear is grain alcohol and not flavoured, so it's pure; unadulterated alcohol taste in that bottle. And, the amount she poured in to that tin based on ratio basically turned the concoction in to citrus flavored paint thinner. Everclear is the stuff you like, get to spike a big punch bowl of something, not usually something you use in a cocktail.

[doodlee-a]

I love the clarification because I know nothing about alcohol!

[tiger-lily-warren]

Everclear used to come with a warning on the bottle to make sure you store it in a cool place, refrigerated if possible, because if stored above a certain temperature it can spontaneously combust.

[Image Description: Four versions of the same drawing of two coyotes in different colours. The coyotes lay on their sides, facing opposite corners of the page. Their legs almost touch in the centre but they are lying separately. A line connects the shoulder of the coyote to the stomach of the other. There are stars drawn around them in the background. The first is green with yellow details, in the second the coyotes are pink on an orange background, the third is mostly dark red with grey blue details and in the fourth the coyotes are dark blue on with purple and orange details.
