I wear masks in the airplane and in airports still, and in places like Utah or Texas, people get extremely passive aggressive towards me when I do. I have had flight attendants pretend not to hear me and get angry that I have my mask up, random elderly strangers tisk at me when they pass by, just so much general hassle and passive seething for something that has nothing to do with them. It’s terrifying how much people seem to hate me just for not wanting to get sick.

If that ain’t the name of a New York police chief from the 80s with Polish heritage, I don’t know what is

Looks like they are using a Prio based protocol. If they are using Prio2+, I think this article is likely overblown. EDIT: I mixed up my sources - Mozilla tested Prio for telemetry collection. They are using a system called IPA for ads, and I don’t know whether there are formal guarantees for this system

Does Firefox explain what measures they’ve taken to protect their aggregation servers? If so, this is a perfectly fine and practical method for privacy preservation

What I take from this is that as people age and get more isolated into their niche, they forget the nuance they learned to get there

Lou Malnati’s crust was so yeasty and unpleasant, and super skimpy on cheese when I had it. Extremely not worth the hype.

Spite has basically kept me alive

I don’t usually get back up, I just go somewhere else or do something else where the novelty makes me feel like I haven’t failed yet. Weirdly, I got pretty good at things over time doing this and I fail a lot less
