Not only is Vance a total climate denier now, he also has intentionally chosen this position for crass political purposes, having previously acknowledged climate change science.
More evidence his "beliefs" are purely driven by self-serving political posturing rather than any ties to facts or truth.

Die #Werbeindustrie erhebt schon seit Jahren Daten um Bewegungsprofile zu erstellen und daraufhin passende Werbung zu generieren. Das mag zum Beispiel in einer App zur Stadt oder dem Kiez auf dem ersten Blick vorteilhaft erscheinen. Immerhin bekommt man so neue Angebote automatisch aufs Handy. Nachteil: Bewegungsprofile. Erstaunlich das die #BuReg diesen Broker auch noch gefördert hat. Wieso wird nicht von Staatswegen gegen diese Kriminellen ermittelt und ganz offen von #Cybercrime gesprochen? Das die #DSGVO keinen Schutz bietet ist bewiesen. Das Leben der Bürger in #Deutschland ist in Gefahr.

yes, because any successful mechanism will need to be actually useful to advertisers. You don't want the web browser on your computer that you're running to be useful to advertisers?

»Firma verschleudert 3,6 Milliarden Standorte von Menschen in Deutschland«. Seit Jahren erwähne ich in fast jedem Artikel, in dem es um Tracking und Android-Apps geht, dass die Google Advertising-ID ein personenbeziehbares Datum ist. Dies wurde nun erneut eindrucksvoll bewiesen. 👇

So I turned off the new Firefox advertiser-friendly stuff.

But somehow I feel this isn't enough. I want to do more than just turn the feature off, I would prefer to submit poisoned and false data to it continually.

Anyone know a plugin that will flood this bullshit system with fake AI lies or anything like that?

In the page explaining why they silently forced this bullshit on me they say "Attribution is very important to advertisers"

Fuck advertisers. Fuck them. You get that Firefox? It is not your job to be kind to advertisers, it is your job to fuck them on my behalf.

I looked at Librewolf and it seemed like it'd be perfect. Was still able to send tabs around from machine to machine and sync bookmarks and stuff, which is the thing I suspected wouldn't work. All worked okay, was just firefox without the bullshit they do these days.

Until it just threw javascript errors on my TTRSS install and I couldn't read my newsreader.

Only on my desktop machine mind, it was fine on the laptop.

Maybe I should try harder. Perhaps it was just a fleeting thing that would be fixed next version.

I'm hearing that Mozilla worked with Facebook to build this malware that they silently injected into our machines.

Reminds me of that episode of Batman where Batman teamed up with the Penguin to develop a more citizen-friendly system of crime and extortion so that the Penguin could stop having so many people murdered.

Oh, no, wait. That never happened because Batman knows who the fucking bad guys are.

If you like science, sports, and smart critiques of gender, Rose Eveleth has a new podcast called Tested from CBC/NPR about the weird/horrifying practice of testing female athletes for "femaleness" -- and what happens when a group of runners are deemed "not female" and disqualified from participating in the Olympics and other competitions. These are not trans women -- they are AFAB but don't fit arbitrary norms. The pod is wild, fascinating, & heartbreaking. cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/173…
