So THIS is why all the Firefox hit pieces have been surfacing recently….
Suddenly the picture becomes clearer lol.
I’m not surprised, they have been threatening this for awhile, put the timing of the hit pieces, and then this…… answers a lot of questions
Continuous Mozilla hit pieces coming out….
I wonder which company motivated only by greed and the fact that their entire business model is “obliterating your privacy” is behind them
Yep, but we can’t afford to “not compete”
It doesn’t matter.
The ultimate utility of the ai and the threat that it poses if the west falls behind in ai research, is too great to allow copyright laws to get in the way.
So either they’ll say that the law doesn’t apply or they’ll make new laws.
Pandora’s box has been opened and we can’t go back.
Gotta pay the bills somehow, and I’m just happy they care about privacy.
As a devops manager that’s been both, it depends on the group. Ideally a devops group has a few former devs and a few former systems guys.
Honestly, the best devops teams have at least one guy that’s a liaison with IT who is primarily a systems guy but reports to both systems and devops. Why?
It gets you priority IT tickets and access while systems trusts him to do it right. He’s like the crux of every good devops team. He’s an IT hire paid for by the devops team budget as an offering in exchange for priority tickets.
But in general, you’re absolutely right.
It’s because they appear to be something they’re not.
They’re usually friendly and fun and do all sorts of employee retention activities like arranging go karting and such…
They seem like they’re there almost as union stewards, to try and help retain employees and ensure you’re treated well by management. This is not the case. They’re there to protect the company from lawsuits originated by you. This means that they’ll apply rules and such in ways that are not usually beneficial to you.
They’re actually really helpful if you have issues with a coworker! However, you need to remember that despite how friendly they seem, they’re not actually in your corner, they have their own agenda.
So the simple answer is that they aren’t bad at all, but it can feel bad if you thought they were your friend.
In windows they have some fuzzy logic they don’t tell you about and hide from you.
What is that domain? Is it the pc name?
If you don’t know, then you’re not in a domain.
Go to your windows machine and look at your ip settings.
The router will be giving you an ip address like 192.168.1.X
odds are good that the router has a section in the low range of x that is still accessible but not under dhcp (don’t use 1 !!!)
You can set yourself a static ip in that range.
As for your login, use a period as your domain.
.\myusername
Set a static IP in your router/dhcp server.
Are you actually on a domain or are you just adding in a domain name?
You know, the ones where you tell your subcontractor who to fire, and force them to wear your Amazon logo and not the delivery company logo….
The ones tracked by Amazon’s in-vehicle tracking system, scored by Amazon’s scoring system…
They’re totally separate clearly. See? I claim them to be separate so they’re separate!!!
This has very Micheal Scott “I declare bankruptcy” vibes.
I’m the one getting snippy? Hahaha okay.
I read the article, I’m just commenting about the world around the article from a small step back, and I tried to help you see that.
Have a nice day.
Well I tried to show you what’s happening, I’m sorry you’re not seeing it, but I’m done. Have a nice day.
Maybe you’re missing the connection here.
Facebook is implementing features to prevent some types of advertising, as per the article.
Facebook allows the purchase of the exact same advertising, so long as you pay their fee.
It’s just a different flavour of the same shit.
These days I have to create a spam filter for my phone notifications, let alone emails.
WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and you can pay them for corporate accounts and advertising.
How dare they advertise without giving WhatsApp (aka Facebook) a cut of the profits!
I’m very sorry that your life feels so out of control that you need to lash out so quickly with condescension.
Did you want to talk? Or perhaps explain where you think I misunderstand?
Sure, and that’s meaningful, but the problem is that many articles are getting major details and entire concepts wrong and publishing statements that are so inaccurate that it feels like bullshit.
Like the advertising counter is nowhere near how it’s been represented over and over in various unknown blogs.
Very much has the feel of a FUD campaign
