How is that fucking legal?

Give us this very sensitive information, we promise we won't misuse it, and we'll let you fiddle our AI as a treat.

Momentum of where friends and family are.

It's nice to be able to say "well they're not worth talking to then", but at some point I need to be able to reach my parents so they can babysit my daughter. Or be able to know that family will be in town and expecting me to be available. Or be able to have any way of knowing what life events are happening to my loved ones without having to wait for it to be brought up in casual conversation months later as if I should already know.

My extended family and friends do a poor job communicating on a good day. If I try to add another hurdle, I'm not the one who wins that fight.

Exactly. It's a matter of scale as well. The "No eat... only focus" isn't "Oh hey, I was having so much fun I'm having lunch an hour late". It's more like "I'm not sure I was even having fun, I was just FOCUSED. Now it's multiple hours past the time to eat, I'm in strong physical pain due to intense hunger and feel off balance/sick from the tanked blood sugar."

How often, how extreme, how much of it is a concious choice vs something you can't stop even if you are aware it's happening.

Much like other neurodivergences. Most symptoms will be stuff that even neurotypicals experience occasionally, which leads to "I feel sad sometimes too. Have you just tried being happy?".

You can block specific posters and communities, but so far keyword filtering is only possible through specific phone apps.

I think an instance admin was working on something for doing that natively though.

Holy fuck. I think C&H can give up depressing comics week. Zach won. Forever.

I mean, I'm not a dev and I haven't dove deep into the forks in a while. I just remember that they added something to their readme on github during one of the recent "firefox is dead" cycles that said that LibreWolf's focus of privacy first makes it poorly suited as a general use daily driver.

They were getting swamped with people looking for help because the defaults caused certain sites to not function or something.

Dude what the fuck?

So my bad, I didn't clock the PPA abbreviation being about the experimental adtech bullshit they pulled.

But I feel like my point still stands. Claims that Mozilla is harvesting user data should be (relatively) easily proven by audits of the source code. Disproving things tends to be harder, and I'm not the person making the claim.

I'm not "gatekeeping" shit. I'm saying that bold claims should have facts backing them up, and so far I've not been shown anything to back it up.

(Edit: to be clear, the claim that these local AI features would be an increase in user data being harvested)

You appear to have strong feelings about this, so I was hoping you had more than specious claims based entirely off a major gaffe.

I'm not saying that Firefox and Mozilla should get trust by default. I'm saying that if they are doing shit as heinous as what you claimed, there should be evidence that can be pointed to.

Even something as simple as "hey, their prepackaged versions aren't reproducable by compiling the source code".

There are enough people who care a lot about this, and the source code is right there. No one should have to speculate on any of what Mozilla is or isn't doing here as it's all out in the open.

We're pleased to announce we've made the tormaent nexus from the hit novel "Don't make the torment nexus".

I binged through WD1 and 2 in like a month last year. Great great fucking games, but I was surprised to hear that apparently it's weird to prefer the first one?

The second game is a fun playground, but the first one was such a tightly designed experience where nearly all of the elements reinforced each other in terms of design, setting, and plot.

If you take nothing else from this thread: That's not "just autism".

And the goal of working with a professional wouldn't be to "delete your autism" like holy shit lmao that is so off base I would think you were a shitposter if I hadn't met other people like you before.

There are dangerous thought patterns, shit that does nothing but erode your trust in the existence of an external reality. I don't have the proper words to describe the level of danger to yourself and those around you that you can cause if you don't believe foundational aspects of external reality.

This is really something you need to discuss with professionals.

Buddy, given your relatively basic questions and how you're posting to every single fucking vaguely relared community, I would highly suggest you do some studying on just... basic computer concepts and how to use them. Not sure what resources are out there anymore, but maybe some basic "these are the parts of a computer, these are programs and how they work" stuff from the 90s. They used to do middle school classes on how to properly use google and other seaech engines to find trustworthy information for citing in research papers. I seriously suggest you start there.

Then, after you understand the basics maybe you start trying to understand how all of that works in regards to security and the concept of trust in the software you install and run.

Spoiler alert: Computers are not designed with any sort of "zero trust" architecture like you seem to be shocked that they don't have. Things are not sandboxed, segmented, or otherwise prevented from accessing other stuff as a general rule.

This is why one of the bare minimum basics is "don't run anything you don't trust".
