>"That's true now that pocket is gone, perhaps."
I don't think pocket did anything to collect data unless you had it configured and were actually using it, though. I am not certain. I just disabled pocket in settings or about:config and paid it no mind.
The funny thing is, although it is a bogus "bug" report, they treated it like it was real.
In any case, Mozilla only collects anonymized data by default. And you can happily, quickly, and easily turn that off and it will turn it off and it will remember that across updates.
>"For all they keep doing, the one thing they can't seem to do is make a checkbox to stop being harassed about updates."
You literally post this on every article about Firefox. Aren't you tired yet? I have replied numerous times that they are *NEVER* going to do that. And then I pointed you to using policies, which will disable updates.
Around 2029 we'll see that a ride is available for $16 or $31 with a driver.
Rider's choice. I'll guess it goes about 80/20.
He seems like a real scumbag but it's worth keeping in mind that the people who told us that have a massive incentive to pin their crimes on a scapegoat.
Since we pretty much know that FTX was the #1 donor to a party's political action committee with money laundered through Ukraine, he would have been smarter to wait for that conflict to conclude.
The people who benefited from the crime also prosecuted him which is never reliable.
It might not be FedSlop but unless it is proven that both parties didn't benefit we shouldn't trust this government either.
We do know that Ladybug Graham got $18M straight into his bank account from Ukraine so there is certainly smoke.
It's only since a dead man can't sue for libel that people are willing to print that nugget now.
Not in a Corporate Democracy.
The people who would prosecute OpenAI want to use OpenAI to maximize their power and wealth at your financial and legal expense.
Remember when they tried to extradite Gary McKinnon for twenty years for looking at a spreadsheet when he accidentally got RDP access to an unsecured NASA desktop with a simple Perl script? Intent is not relevant for prosecutors (mens rea should be an element in a Constitutional case).
The legal basis is there but the will to power is not.
Two systems of courts for different classes of people (yet again). It would be an error to call that a Justice System.
n.b. the Culture War psyop is there to try to convince you that the classes are something else.

I suppose that is possible, if the TV were really that obsessed- trying all the time, while also ignoring the "off" setting.
One option is to buy a commercial signage display [bhphotovideo.com] which are still more like "dumb" displays. "
That is overkill. Just buy whatever TV you want and never connect to it a network. I bought a high-end Samsung and have been enjoying it for years. It has never been connected to a network. And no, there is no "open"/insecure WiFi network in range of the TV. So if it is collecting anything, it doesn't matter. "Smart" stuff should be separate and replaceable. I have a non-networked blueray player connected, my Linux desktop system, a TiVo, and a Roku Ultra. TiVo has no microphones or cameras. Roku has a mic only on the remote, yet no reports of that being an issue, and no cameras. Linux, well, that is, of course, safe.
I literally use my TV as a display monitor. Even sound is external, like it should be, using a nice audio/video amplifier and many great speakers for actual 5.1 surround. Not the fake crap you get with TV speakers or "sound bars".
Reply to self:
>"And I guess I can believe you are using TE3"
Obvious typo, that should read "TE4"
>"Every place I look and ask says all Suggestions and Thumbs Up/Down were shut down in 2023."
It apparently was for TE4.
>"My TiVo hasn't had it since 2023."
Then you are probably using TE4. I am using TE3. Why it would still work with TE3 and not TE4 makes absolutely no sense to me at all. I suppose the functionality is completely local with TE3 and somehow they needlessly "cloudified" that function with TE4. I intentionally never switched to TE4 on my Roamio because I hated that user interface. Bolt cable version (not OTA version) can also use either, as well. But Bolt OTA and Edge was/is TE4 only.
>"I guess I can believe you."
And I guess I can believe you are using TE3
>"And don't call people assholes."
Normally I don't. But re-read what you posted to me and tell me it wasn't needlessly insulting! But (in your words) "I guess I can" apologize for that...
>"Whatever, you might seem to think it works, but it was shut down in 2023."
Don't be an asshole. I have used TiVo for decades. I know exactly how suggestions work and use them all the time on my TE3 Roamio. You are accusing me of either being an idiot or lying, and neither is correct. I suspect you don't even know what TE3 or TE4 is. So think before you post.
Suggestions was shut down for TE4. Not for TE3.
>"Nope, it doesn't work at all anymore. TiVo discontinued Thumbs Up/Down and Suggestions in early 2023."
Mine records suggestions, every day.
Mine thumbs up and down work fine, every day.
According to my information, only TE4 (Edge) was affected. Mine is a Roamio. I am using TE3. So your statement isn't technically correct. Apparently they discontinued it for TE4 only. I didn't even know that (since it doesn't affect me).
For some reason Talarico makes republicans shit their diapers.
Don't be hyperbolic, that was probably their age.
There are corrections to gravity that include the current size of the Universe as s term that gives extremely small differences in calculations but explains most observations.
It has a certain allure from an Information Theory perspective and is extremely parsimonious in ask.
But funding is for finding wimps and axons and evidence of mysteries that use the old equations so you are called crazy if your simple theory threatens that gravy train.
Some people say useful physics is too dangerous to fund and we're better off wasting time and money.
Twenty years ago Dark Energy seemed like a good idea to me. So did Supersymmetry. Most new ideas that can be tested and used or disproved probably should be. That LHC found no Supersymmetric pairs is a good thing.
Apologies to the original.
