I have carefully considered the arguments. Perhaps I have even contributed to them indirectly. I find them to be incredibly legitimate and in dire need of Mozilla’s action.
I’m kind of surprised your comment on this post got so much attention because it says so little; it should be dismissed out of hand as purely rhetorical IMO.
She switched places with another CEO that promptly fired even more workers, yes.
Can you link to your critiques? I looked for them on your behalf and found three other posts of this video, but no comments from you on them.
Criticizing this video for emotional arguments doesn’t make sense. It lays down statistics, quotes privacy policies, and chips at the way Mozilla uses emotional arguments in its marketing. And I’ve seen many Firefox people simply argue “the CEO deserves to be paid well” and “Firefox is the last bastion of the open web” - arguments that I myself have at least semi agreed with, which means I might have proclivity to emotion myself.
So if there’s a problem… Can you cite specific examples in the video?
There’s also privacy issues with Matrix:
Discord is also one (admittedly very lousy) company, while Matrix starts with the privacy issues and just gets worse
Edit x2: I can’t place a parenthesis to save my life
Vaultwarden is a great piece of self hosted server software, which meshes with Bitwarden software perfectly. And for people who can’t self host, IMO Bitwarden gives you more than enough bang for your buck with their own hosting plans.
It’s one of the few examples of software being open source and ethically making money regardless. (For comparison, Standard Notes has tried pretty hard to make sure non-paying users have an inferior experience even if they self-host literally everything.)
I didn’t know there was a such thing as FUTO Voice Input. It’s really good. Shame the “Open” nature of Google Android was rejected by Google Keyboard and other Google things…
Between the hardware Rob sells, the software he’s written (a social network that uses some very rudimentary end to end encryption… Which only runs on the server) and the Odysee URL all would have made me reach the same conclusion about his advice that the people who watched the video are saying:
No thanks, yeah
I don’t like Julian Assange, but I think that if he were found guilty of his crimes of espionage, that he has already served out more than a proportional sentence in exile.
What did Edward Snowden do, if not technically espionage? Some other crime?
Sometimes, it’s good to do crimes. The more oppressive the government, generally speaking, then more good things might get turned into crimes. Criticism of the government. Protest. Etc.
You’re right, I mentioned it because it seemed like a good counterexample to your reasoning.
… Apparently you agree?
“Espionage” - Ed Snowden leaking PRISM docs
“Paranoia” - reading about it on Wikipedia
You can put your phone in a Faraday bag.
How am I going to do that to my car :(
This only works up to a point, and that’s a little concerning IMO. It’ll be true for longer than, say, cellphones, but no car lasts forever and at some point they could be prohibitively expensive.
I don’t mind SimpleX. I use it myself, sometimes. But it is also currently a very obscure service, and it’s not exactly easy to find people to communicate with. Phone numbers, and now usernames, provide a jumping-off point for that.
How do you find people on SimpleX and then make sure you’re talking to them in a group later on? Right now, that’s really hard.
And right now, SimpleX is pretty small, so if it starts expanding in that first area, how would it prevent spam?
That gray text right above the buttons suggests there there won’t really be any negative impact, despite their desperate pleas right above it. I don’t know, if this was me, I would definitely click Reject All and then see how messed up the resulting website ended up for me.
The psychological profiling that went into making equivalently styled Accept and Reject buttons look different to a reader is almost certainly intentional, though. Reminds me of the Redact app and how they would show you a crying kitten if you didn’t share using their (previously free, now expensive) app on your Twitter profile.
“Connect none” is right there, though.
But I kinda glossed over it the first time I saw it.
Usually two opposing buttons will be next to each other, not be one on top of the other, won’t they?
