You obviously do not understand what am saying.

I don't think you understand at all what being political actually means.

You clearly dislike this person because your and their political positions are at odds, and you seem to want to make that a priority. That is fine! I do that all the time.

I just thought it is absurd that you would think that this decision (or your argument) is not political, because it is.

I just tried to illustrate the obvious by quoting some of the many political things you've written before saying that what you write isn't political.

Like.. why would you think that?

I hate Temu, but this (apparently contracted?) Grizzly Reports report isn't really all that trust inspiring, tbh.

Our experts identified a stack of software functions that are completely inappropriate to and dangerous

The stack difference to the Amazon app they list:

• Package compile
• Requesting system logs
• Some code obfuscation
• Mac address collection
• Install permission
• Wake lock

Meh. That's just a sliver worse than your regular, off the shelves proprietary corporate app. I don't see how they can pull off the promise of being a truly dynamic Android app from that report.

I do believe they hover up data, but they aren't otherworldly super hackers. They will probably just ask for the data and the users will hand it over in a second. For most people, it really is that simple.

So what's preventing those people from using bookmarks as "check this out later" tool?

Bookmarking a page does not give you control over its content. So if you bookmark something and the host deletes it, you are screwed.

If you instead clip the content or save it as a PDF, you retain access regardless of the original host.

For example, I save every good article I read as a PDF, which I cloud sync to a folder. I have a second folder for stuff I don't want to keep open as a tab but still want to read later. There are probably far better services out there, but I like the lack of technical dependencies and lock-in.

CEO is a homophobic shithead. ... Privacy is important ... Privacy is good ... Society is toxic ... calling out people who specifically want to legally control how others (harmlessly) live their lives is not itself toxic ... His opinion is that gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry. I think this is rather invasive. ... My point is that someone who is willing to donate thousands to homophobic lobbyists doesn't seem to care about gay people's rights to Privacy ...

And then:

I am not sharing political opinions

Brilliant.

Although I am not sure whether it is art or delusion.

Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!

This is absolutely not how any of this works.

While Mozilla implements the WebExtensions API based on the W3C standard, they are not bound to a 100% verbatim implementation. Like other browser vendors, Mozilla has the flexibility to extend or modify the API as needed, as long as they maintain compatibility with the core standard. Adding new APIs or features to the extension system does not require creating an entirely incompatible engine. Browser vendors often add non-standard extensions to APIs, which can later be proposed for inclusion in the next version of the standard if they prove useful. So, Mozilla can certainly add new APIs to their extension system without making it incompatible with the existing WebExtensions ecosystem. This is not difficult to understand.

Mozilla isn't in charge of the extension API, it uses Chromium's WebExtensions API

No. They are basing their implementation on that of Chrome, but nobody is forcing Mozilla to do this ... So yes, Mozilla is responsible for all the APIs they integrate. Of course.

Like yea, it'a technically a levie, not a tax. This whole "it's different because it does not go through the budget" is such a learned talking point. We have it in Germany as well with our state funded public media houses. You say something about their bias, count to five and suddenly someone appears and tells you that same story of fictional independence through funding through levie.

The extension APl doesn't have enough access for this.

If that's the case, then it's pretty great that Mozilla is also the exact company in charge of the extension API.

I have only one extension, and I use it longer than I use Firefox. I also trust the developer a lot more than I trust Mozilla.

Wenn man sich erst mal daran gewöhnt hat, der Willkür eines Milliardärs ausgesetzt zu sein, fühlt es sich vielleicht ganz heimelig an.

Naja BSW muss jetzt einigermaßen schnell profilbildend in der Presse bleiben, sonst überlebt die Marke ihre erste Krise nicht.

Das geht halt nicht, wenn man nichts dramatisches macht.

Die Linkspartei z.B. ist ein sehr schönes Beispiel, wie man durch moderate on-the-fence Positionen trotz Bundestagsfraktion innerhalb von ein paar Jahren einfach in Vergessenheit geraten kann. Kein Mensch weiß heute, wofür die Linkspartei im Bund eigentlich steht.

Diese Rede stand gerade an und der Boykott hat zu ein paar wütenden Kommentaren in den Zeitungen geführt; hätte rein aus der Diskursperspektive für BSW gar nicht besser laufen können.

It really is a choice to claim someone said something which they did not actually say at all.

Saying "they said x and I think they meant y" is entirely different from claiming "they said y" while knowing they in fact said x.

This is not controversial. Interpretations are fine, actively crafting disinformation is not.
