  • Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you

  • Huge misrepresentation of the facts.

    Mozilla is creating an anonymous way to tell advertisers that someone saw x ads for product y after buying product y so that they can tell if the ads worked without tracking you.

  • This took me a minute to figure out 😝

  • That’s just it….. they are building it out properly, their goal is just not what you think it is.

  • The problem is the same as with the telephone answering trees.

    If they’re used to help you get where you’re going, then they’re great. But that’s not the best financially motivated decision. Solving your problem costs the companies money. Pissing you off and convincing you that your problem shouldn’t be fixed saves money on support.

    So making you go round in circles is the machine doing EXACTLY what they want it to do.

  • I literally came to the comments to find out if it was real or not.

    Because quite frankly, I would probably believe either way .

  • The business loss from the media coverage of the trial would lose them a shit ton more than that.

    Problem is that we actually need to hold some of the executives that made the catastrophic decisions responsible for those decisions

    That isn’t going to happen no matter what

  • They lied to you about car surveillance

  • They’re fed propaganda to believe that privacy doesn’t matter….

    But just imagine a Google admin had access to all the information about you and wanted to blackmail you into doing something…. The sheer power of that is terrifying.

  • Why do the vast majority of romantic comedies depict people who are wealthy?

    Jump

  • Entirely escapism, most romantic movies involve felonies lol.

    Stalking is the most popular, harassment, sexual harassment, assault, lack of consent.

    …. But it’s all portrayed as romantic. You want to talk about rape culture? The romance films are peak “rape culture”

    Twilight vampires secretly watching you sleep without your consent? Hawt! The guy refusing to take no for an answer? How devoted! The guy just grabbing you and kissing you out of nowhere? Swooooon! My ex inserting herself into my current relationship to wreck it and get back together with me? It MUST be true love. . I assure you, those things are unpleasant in real life, but I’m really curious as to how people think they’re romantic in movies. I don’t get it.

  • We promised those shareholders that we’d pay you as little as we can….. you wouldn’t want to make us liars, would you?

  • That’s just it, as a business owner, some years may be good, and some years may be bad.

    So some years your profit should be less.

    That doesn’t mean you’re going under. Less profit is still profit. That means everyone (including yourself) has been paid and you have money left over.

    But because CEOs are paid mostly in stock, the profits have to rise every year, for no necessary reason besides “I like money”

    And eventually that’ll break, and it’ll happen all at once.

    Really intense racism.

  • Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs

  • Not just for 2 years, XP removed it in sp2.

    And even when it supported it, many versions wouldn’t let you use it, or would let you “see” it but not use it.

    For basically the life of XP.

  • I’m not overly worried about a few random Linux distros that did strange things, nor raspberry pi’s. I mean I don’t know why you’d use 32 bit on an 8gb pi anyways, so it shouldn’t affect anyone unless they did something REALLY strange.

    For the average user, neither of those scenarios mattered, especially back when the problem was at its peak.

    2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.

    I honestly don’t even remember XP having PAE, but if you NEED the validation, sure, Microsoft EVENTUALLY got it.

    Except that Microsoft removed it in SP2 LOL!

    And all the home use versions of XP still maxed out at 4gb.

    There could see the memory but couldn’t use it, oh I’d forgotten that!

    Wikipedia was a fun read.

  • Yeah I acknowledged the shortcomings in a different comment.

    It was a duct take solution for sure.

  • Intel PAE if the answer, but it still came with other issues, so 64 was still the better answer.

    Also the entire article comes down to simple math.

    Bits is the number of digits.

    So like a 4 digit number maxes out at 9999 but an 8 digit number maxes out at 99 999 999

    So when you double the number of digits, the max size available is exponential. 10^4 bigger in this case. It just sounds small because you’re showing that the exponent doubles.

    104 is WAY smaller than 108

  • 32 bit CPU’s having difficulty accessing greater than 4gb of memory was exclusively a windows problem.

    Good ones get weeded out by the system on purpose.
