For the first time, we’re introducing a Terms of Use for Firefox, alongside an updated Privacy Notice. Earlier today, we published a blog po
Mozilla is being sketchy, people in the responses to this go over why this change is bad but basically they're making users agree to have their data harvested in order to use Firefox
I think that maybe, just maybe, we're once again having another version the issue that happens every time Tumblr updates where people read the terms of use that says stuff like "hey you have to give us permission to host this image if you want it to be rebloggable" and overreacting.
This talking point was disproven before they decided to post this but I'll reiterate: They do not need this to provide basic functionality otherwise they would have had to have said this before. They also removed part of their legal documents that says they wont sell user data.
Just got turned down for two jobs so this was nice to read.
Just ran over 2 people in my car. Needed this
You know where the word cocaine comes from? Its Quechua. Just the name of the damn plant. I think it was 1971, maybe 72. I dunno-
Could you start at the beginning?
Huh? Yeah, sure. Course. Uhh. Lets see…
Take your time.
Woof. Lets see…I started in uhhh, 72. Some tiny little bottle-rocket firm sweatin for talent, head broker was this big red fatass named Ron Spade, hell of a guy, but the place got bought out by Bear Stearns in 73 when the shit really hit the fan. It was a rough time to be on a trade floor. IRS just put out the whole hypnoeconomics thing. Half the big firms were runnin’ around with their hair on fire, the other half felt invincible. Every day was a party. Party party party.
Was that your first interaction with hypnostimulants?
I guess. Its funny. First guy to give me quori was a cop.
You mean an agent of the FDA?
No no, like an old fashioned NYPD beat cop. Met him in the bathroom at Pink during a bender. Moron was so faded he thought I was his informant. Just gave me a phial.
And you tried it?
Not right away no. To be honest I thought it was kinda faggy. Sorry. Its just what I thought at the time. The shit was sparkly, you know? What kinda drug comes in phials? Shoulda known something was up.
Would you say hypnostimulants were popular at the time?
At the time? Depends what you mean by popular. People didn’t know about that shit yet. You heard stories, dudes shooting up in the woods upstate, gettin found with their eyeballs exploded. It was early days, ya know? But like, that didn’t happen. That was urban legends. You know who was actually fucking around with the early stuff? Accountants.
Accountants?
Yeah, you know, the bookkeepers. See, I’m really just a plumber. I move money from one pipe to another pipe. But instead of wrenches and sprockets or whatever, I use charm. Its pretty easy if you ask me. Imagine if you could just tell water where it already wanted to go. You’re water’s best pal. Nah. It was those nerds in the basement, the spreadsheet guys that figured out how to expense shit so the IRS couldn’t get ya. Those were the fuckers who really dove in.
What got you using regularly?
Same shit as everyone else. Makes the job easier.
How so?
You can feel the money in their pocket. Its like, I dunno how to describe it. Its like…Its like, a turd sitting in a hammock. You can feel how the money bends everything around it. You can see it, smell it. You can hear it over the phone. You can’t ignore it. Shit is nuts. You take enough, and its like you can’t see anything else. Or. No. Its like…You see that you don’t need to see anything else. Money is everything. You’re money. I’m money. Its all just rivers of money flowing through everything.
By 1973 you were a regular user yes?
Regular makes it sound normal. But yeah I know what you mean. “Regular user.” 76 was the sweet spot. The drugs were good, but the regulators hadn’t stepped up yet. You and some buddies could set up in a club bathroom with nothing but a blindfold and a pile. You ever seen a stock floor with a headfull of that fancy government shit?
Would you like to discuss the raid?
No. Not really.
I understand you were the only one in a sub-emmanation state when Hypnoregulators arrived on the scene.
I don't want to talk about it.
Very well then, my associate will be happy to take you to prison as per the agreement you signed.
Alright alright, Christ.
Please. In your own words.
From what I understand, you pulled spade outta bed. Got a confession and everything that morning. 9 fuckin AM, and 200 IRS agents come busting in the doors. I was in the bathroom seeing shit. It's marble lined, lots gold filigree. All that jazz. Special made. Listen. I'm serious about the stock floor shit. Whatever you guys have, it's different than what we had back then. I mean, the shit was still cut with cocaine. A stock floor wasn't a stock floor, it was like…
The raid, please.
I'm getting to it! You gotta know this shit okay? I need you to understand what you goons fuckin wrecked. It was perfect okay? A garden of Eden . Ripe fruit. Everything just works. You don't have to worry about shit. You're a hunter, a killer, the great fuckin god pan, and the floor is your field of delights. It's like being a beating heart, like being struck by lightning. You can feel the sun in your pocket, and how it's all flowing through everything. And then you fucks showed up.
It was cold. I felt it first. Like I just threw the biggest party, and mom and dad were coming home early. But you know what I saw? You know those Chinese dragon dancers? Or, lions, or whatever they are? You know how there's two guys in the costume? I saw a dragon, a beast with eyes like the sun, teeth dripping gold, a bunch of IRS suits holding its pelt on their shoulders like you carry your baby home.
Your statement alluded to some additional information.
Yeah…there was something else… I dunno how to describe it. The fuckin…eyes, like the sun. Thats how you feel when you're on this shit. You're seein’ gold. I looked into the dragons eyes, and it's like, it's like I saw me. Like I was the dragon, and I was looking at me. Or…no. I was the sun. I was looking at myself. It was like, in that moment I knew something. I learned something.
What exactly is that?
I dunno. It doesn't fit into words. But like. You aren't regulating shit.
I'm sorry?
Yeah. All this shit. The dragon. The field. The dancers. It's all just the sun.
alot of people think lifes biggest question is its meaning, well after years of research i have found lifes true biggest question;
"what would happen if you ate green foods"
It's sometimes disheartening how often I'll have an idea that ends with "this would be so cool if I were willing to spend enormous amounts of time I don't have on it".

anyone who thinks ukraine will sign the form of the ceasefire whose particular outlines we're seeing now, or that it will stop all fighting even if signed, is deeply delusional about a people armed to the teeth fighting off genocidal, imperial invasion
The US president’s rambling personal attacks have galvanised support for Zelenskyy among Ukrainians, including people who were previously disenchanted. A new opinion poll found 63% approved of him – a figure many times higher than the 4% rating falsely claimed this week by Trump and Musk. The prominent Ukrainian journalist Kristina Berdynskykh said: “After three years of full-scale war, Ukrainians are tired, nervous and often quarrel with each other. But I feel that now everyone will unite again. This always happens when Ukrainians feel an existential threat.” [...] The NGOs said there was a consensus among ruling and opposition political parties, as well as from the general public, that polls could only be held at least six months after a genuine ceasefire. This would give authorities time to prepare the electoral process and rebuild damaged infrastructure, they said. (x)

Onuch, a professor of Ukrainian politics at the University of Manchester, the first in the Anglosphere, believes any attempt to impose an unjust and “unconstitutional” settlement will be fiercely resisted in Ukraine – with the support of members of the diaspora. “It’s an existential question of the survival of their homeland. This is not a simple thing that tomorrow someone agrees and then it’s done,” she said. “Ukrainians would not be willing to give up territory and they would potentially go against the government. “And that’s not simply in a future referendum, that is also in the streets. On top of that, this is a population that is traumatised and also equipped with arms. (x)
