People like to complain about Google AMP for good reasons, but have you tried simply not using Google for search? DuckDuckGo answers 95% of my searches effectively these days—and no AMP! #AMP

Emerson classmates who are now screenwriters in Hollywoo, get on this. ✌️

“The Wellfallen”: A 24 episode, 3 season series on the fictional family at the center of the rise of the religious right in America, their corruption and complicit actions that elect a fascist, and the wild implosion that swings America into democratic socialism.

If you must use gears to represent settings or a developer platform, at least use mechanically correct gears.

@kyle I agree the data is sensitive. There has to be a buyer to make it valuable. Outside of ad targeting, I am not sure who would be interested in buying Cloudflare's DNS access data if the information necessary to target an individual is removed.

@kyle Most people are not going to run their own DNS servers, but Mozilla isn't stopping them from using them if they do, so the immediate benefit is an increase in default privacy. “Better is good.”

@kyle I understand your general concern, but in this case, Cloudflare seems aligned with Mozilla's stance against surveillance capitalism.

Cloudflare explicitly states the data collected in the link and which are deleted after 24 hours and the 3 pieces that are retained: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-privacy/privacy-policy/privacy-policy/

Cloudflare also explicitly states in the other link that the data is not sold or used to target ads: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-privacy/

@kyle Is it valuable data? Neither Mozilla nor Cloudflare seem to have an economic incentive to monetize this data. Also, Cloudflare’s privacy policy states:

Analog clock faces on screen-based watches are skeuomorphic. Analog clock faces take more mental effort and time to read. We will look back and laugh about this clinging to nostalgia.

@robey@mastodon.technology Listen, listen. The new iPad features the same old processor, old Pencil 1, old home button, and old Lightning port you already know and love—but now with a slightly bigger screen! Why are you denying this innovation??

Apple has every competitive advantage in the world. Why is it being abusively anticompetitive by manipulating its app store search results? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/09/technology/apple-app-store-competition.html

“I thought wasn’t it a good thing that Eve did, isn’t curiosity a valuable quality? Shouldn’t she be praised for risking this? It wasn’t, after all, that she was after money or gold or anything, she was after knowledge. What could possibly be wrong with that?” —Philip Pullman

I can’t wait to visit America in a few weeks to try this ✌️White Claw✌️ the Internet memes have informed me about all summer.

Equifax appears to be trying to get out of its cash settlement offer by requiring additional information long after claims were filed. Check your email.

A friend uses Facebook Messenger. I proposed a restaurant for dinner. Facebook would not let me share the restaurant’s website because it said it violated its community standards. I wonder if it showed something offensive like a woman’s nipple or a terrorist training video at some point. /s

Yo #TC39, can you please add the ISO 8601 week number to the Date object? I am kinda surprised it’s not already there. #JavaScript

@purism Great post, but the Spotify criticism is weak and reasonably explained in the articled you linked to. Linking that particular criticism with "exploiting people" is disingenuous. There is potential, but no evidence of harm.

The linked criticism about mood targeting criticism is based on people selecting a mood themed playlist, not individual profiling of listening habits.

There is a multitude of actual harm to use for your argument without resorting to FUD. Please do better.

It’s 2019 and Google Chrome and its bloodline (Edge, Brave, Opera) still do not support SVG favicons. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=294179
