Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.
  • bUt iT'S jUSt bOoKmARkS

    - people who are privileged enough to never have experienced multiple days without an internet connection.

    it's a shame to see it go, it's been the first read-it-later service that I was aware of and used. I've moved away to Omnivore (RIP) and then Wallabag (https://wallabag.it/ for 11€/year, but you can self-host it or find someone else to host it for you for a lower fee), but I've still been thinking fondly of it, despite Mozilla clearly trying to force people into social reading rather than just serve as a convenient offline storage of articles.

    edit: this post isn't a request for advice, I'm very happy with my current Wallabag setup.

  • How do I dodge a permaban?
  • Making the account on Duckduckgo which has encrypted connections

    if you mean the DuckDuckGo browser, then it doesn't do anything other browsers don't do by default to hide your identity. you're still showing up as using the same IP address as when using other browsers.

  • Petition to ban conversion therapy in the EU
  • it's crazy how quickly it's been gaining the votes over the past 24 hours. the deadline is tomorrow, with at least 20k more votes required. a Mastodon post from 5 hours ago indicated that it needed 165k (!!!) back then.

    edit: gained another thousand since I posted this

  • Replacing My Old Posts in Protest of Reddit’s Privacy Policy
  • reddit used to only show a certain amount of comments (1000?) sorted by each category when checking an account (1000 newest, 1000 most voted, 1000 most controversial and so on), so your old comments wouldn't show up that way but would still be visible in the threads they were posted in. a few months ago they've changed that and now you get to see all of them.

  • Hungary's government plans to move Pride off the streets

    > Hungary's annual Budapest Pride should be held in a "closed venue" this year rather than processing along an avenue in central Budapest as previously, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Chief of Staff said on Wednesday, citing child protection.

    People with less AI literacy often see the technology as ‘magical’ and awe-inspiring.

    Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research

    The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works – who are most eager to adopt it.

    Surprisingly, our new research (published in the Journal of Marketing) finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption propensity the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link.

    Last year, I outlined the specific requirements that an app needs to have in order for me to consider it a Signal competitor.

    Afterwards, I had several people ask me what I think of a Signal fork called Session. My answer then is the same thing I’ll say today:

    Don’t use Session.
