Very cool shot.

And who puts a phone number on a windows with no dashes?

"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."

Regardless of how they claim they use it (" to help you"), that's ambiguous. And since they have a "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" to that data, they can use it however they see fit. Today, or ten years from now, even if you aren't using Firefox then*.

And people like you (apologists) are OK with that.

Yea, meaningless (not to criticism Signal, good for them for saying so). Just meaningless from Sweden government perspective - it's not like they can simply block Signal. They could, but it would take a lot of effort, and it would be a continually losing game. As I mentioned, I can run a Wireguard/Tailscale network at home, or on a VPS not in Sweden. Good luck figuring out what traffic is in my stream.

It's feasible, but the effort on their part increases non-linearly with every person that does this.

Well, yea, we know that.

But saying they'll block anything without a back door is meaningless, as anyone can run their own VPN these days, and a government attempting to block it is not very smart, as it'll take a lot more effort for them to constantly try to track down the connections.

China can do it because they control all exits from the country network, and will take aggressive pysical action against someone bypassing their controls. And yet people still maintain connections that The Great Firewall can't block.

Still, they don't control it. Which means support is a real problem.

They're not even paying for a service, which would give you contractual commitments.

I just say "post grezz sequel". Sorry if it pisses people off, but it's a stupid name, so I'm gonna say it the way I want.

Rules of English, the closest I'd come is n-jinx. You don't pronounce letters individually, unless reciting the alphabet or something.

Unless you pronounce the letter "B" the same way you say it, like the bug that makes honey.

We don't say "beenefits" or "bee eee an eee eef eye tee ess"

Wtf?

It's Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should've spelled it differently...

Like GIF

Sorry, no, at least one could argue GIF. JSON is a single freakin' vowel short of a common male name.

Morons.

But, how?

(I know, it's in the article, just really surprised/impressed. Surpressed? Imprised?)

Time to start blocking all FF domains and IP addresses. Just like Facebook.
