Mozilla Firefox to Enable Hyperlink Ping Tracking By Default

I was aware of the sting in yer life, and decided to avoid jumping into discussion immediately.

Here’s my universal disclaimer: I am not a normal human, especially when it comes to technology. I was crafted by the world into a non-conventional person, and on top of all of that I don’t come with a built-in tribe.

There’s a reason I’m at the center of all my webs, why I make intentional and deep relationships, and always seem to be one annoying step ahead of “novel morality”; I’m broken in a highly functional way. :slight_smile:

And so… I don’t care if people have tribal insights on Facebook that I don’t. That isn’t on me, and it provides no value, so it isn’t even a thing to let go, it never sticks.

Therein lies our combined strength: we cover each other’s blind spots. Because as I don’t care, or more appropriately, won’t be bothered (I still care about what people are doing, and how, and the long term effects), I find it difficult to understand the world we are fixing. I always run the risk of causally burning down social contructs if their public application is not both immediately apparent and helpful.

This is to say, I understand feels, and that folks get them from what other people do. I’m trying to solve it the way I would; just build alternatives. It is slow, as is life, and will evolve to be something, but currently we are a The Life Raft with a few dozen would-be “survivors”, and the critical mass of our attention is for the people we love that are hooked into the Matrix.

My metaphors are over the place because this is a difficult topic. :slight_smile:

I’ll add: I don’t read news. Do I seem ignorant, misinformed, or delusional? What has a news org profiting from ad revenue ever informed you of that improved your life, or made any level of impact?

I know what is going on. I listen to what people actually care about, that is: what they say in person and in personal spaces. I ask questions, which often go unanswered, but contributes to the knowledge pool nonetheless.

I also have less anxiety, quick aside.

So it isn’t Mozilla trying to stay relevant in a system that isn’t, and it isn’t ad companies running the web now, and it isn’t the general population’s inability to know how it is being exploited, and it isn’t that they might choose soma over dignity, and it isn’t that news orgs align with corporate interests, and it isn’t that corporate laws criminalize anti-capitalist efforts, and it isn’t that humans have no idea how to deal with digital telepathy, and it isn’t that the natural world is constantly trying to entropy us.

It’s all of the things.

I’m still trying to figure it out.
