> If everyone does this, Mozilla won't be able to monetize your data and they will fight back for their survival.
So the whole thing is kinda weird, because the new terms of use _do not_ give Mozilla any ability to monetize your data. All they do is state that if you give the browser some data the browser can use that data to follow your instructions.
For example, I am using Firefox right now as I type this message in. Firefox will save what I type in my profile so that if my power goes out (or Firefox crashes, which is rare these days but wasn’t always) then it can recover this text when it restarts. It’s always done this but apparently Mozilla’s lawyers now think that this requires an explicit mention in the terms of use. I disagree, frankly, and I think the lawyers who forced this issue are milking it.
You may be literally correct, but the purchase of an ad company makes that literal assumption likely wrong.
The ambiguous nature of the changes favor some shady self dealing. Sorry.

Right. Governments have used the same tricks with lotteries and bonds allocated to specific programs. People vote for these revenue generating methods to fund the programs, and the governments can then divert the money that was previously funding the programs into less popular sinkholes.
Exactly, which is why buying a homeless drug addict a coffee and a sandwich means he can shift that money into drugs.
And why "humanitarian aid" to countries at war allows budgets to be shifted to weapons instead of food and medical supplies.
Sometimes you just can't do the seemingly obvious "right thing"

For me, the best option would be to be able to donate to Firefox engineers directly, but not to Mozilla, they do too many things, I don't stand for those, just the Firefox browser...
You may just end up with the "tipped cashier" effect where wages are driven down on rationale that they will be tipped.
Now if you buy a self serve coffee in a paper cup the cashier whose sole job is to take your money, expects a tip because their wages are shite.

As a long-time Louis fan it's sad to me he basically just complains even after leaving New York City. Also, when I met Louis IRL at one of his meetups he was actually super rude.
Hopefully he finds a way to be happy.
Isn't this the "New York keeping it real" 'tude they are so proud of?
Not being flippant, I'm serious. That's what I've heard.
In peesonal experience, I found New Yorkers to be far friendlier than 99% of Bay Area baristas, so there's that.

> Realizing that I spend more time troubleshooting than I do building or doing ...
That's not good. The problem with troubleshooting is that it messes up with your reward system. After you fix a hard-to-debug problem, you feel a sense of accomplishment. Which would be ok, but the problem is that this sense of accomplishment is often time higher than it should be. You go home at the end of the day thinking "well, today I didn't build anything, but it's fine, because I fixed that bug". You are becoming complacent.
If you end up saying to yourself, like the author of this blog here, that you troubleshoot more than you build or you do, then you have a problem. Soon you'll be seen by others as a car mechanic. Maybe a reliable car mechanic. But reliable car mechanics don't get paid a lot.
This might be a controversial take but here it is: being proud of your troubleshooting skills sits somewhere between being proud of your typing speed and being proud of your word document formatting skills. These things never go obsolete, but don't fool yourself into thinking they are gold currency on the job market.
Complacency is not just feeling good, but doing so while ignoring a risk.
You can feel good about addressing risks, the opposite of complacency.

Brendan Gregg's USE method is for performance troubleshooting but could work in any situation (broken is just the worst performance, right?)
The models were restricted from accessing the internet and forced to develop their own solutions internally.
I think researchers will find that human coders are unable to solve most coding problems without access to the internet.
Damn. How did they write code before 1992?
1. Profile quality (and honesty) varies wildly. Peacock and dishonest profiles dominate.
2. There is no Hobsons choice mechanism to force rotation among matches.
3. There are no incentives to respond or follow up.
4. Fake profiles benefit the platform but you have a bootstrap problem if you have no users. Plausible AI fakes will make this worse
5. There is no web of trust- if someone meets someone they could assert trust even at a low level. If I trust anyone in their web this would vet against fake profiles.
I could go on...
