14·2 days agoMany actions are targeted at red states. But sometimes the weapons you have are the weapons you have.
And, really, whatever US internal politics are, this is an act of war by the US against Canada. I think few will lose sleep about making any American bleed right now. Hopefully it wakes those blue states up to start really taking action.
26·2 days agoSorry for messing around with this post. Lemmy.world has a weird bug(?) where posts with CBC articles won’t federate. Had to trick it.
Most frozen assets, by far, reside in Europe ($217 billion (€201 billion) to $230 billion (€210 billion)), with the United States holding just a small portion ($5 billion (€4.5 billion)) and Japan also holding some.
This is just initial reaction to an announcement. The tariffs aren’t even implemented yet.
I wonder how close we are to Trump declaring that “no one knew” how complicated the economy is…
Economic death to America!
Qu’est ce que fuck!
Yes, I would want a source saying that Ukraine chose to cancel the other events and leave the White House.
But it seems like you misinterpreted the article to mean they were ordered to leave on-camera. It happened well after the media availability.
I haven’t seen that reported anywhere. Source?
11·5 days agoMy original claim was that, in addition to gedaliyah’s points, the TOS gives them permission to perform basic browser tasks. My last comment was about the same thing. The TOS is relevant because 1) it’s the basis of this entire discussion and 2) the changes in the TOS conclusively prove my original claim.
As to “data collection” in this context, those words do not appear in the TOS and are not rights Mozilla is asserting for use of their software. It’s a fiction you invented. That was the point of me pointing out the use of the word “use” – describing that term and distinguishing its meaning from the thing you made up.
Maximum wrongness on your part.
This is the original text that everyone flipped out about (OP: “WHY DO YOU NEED MY DATA TO MAKE FIREFOX WORK???”):
When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.
It has since been changed to:
You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.
Use. When you input a url, that information is used to resolve an IP then fetch a webpage. You’re granting a right to complete tasks you assign using information you input. They have permission to send your post content to a server, but they don’t own that content. This should be very obvious in the revised text.
Bitchin’ bonus quote:
“It will be hard, but we will survive,” said Iryna Tsilyk, 42, a poet and film director in the capital, Kyiv, whose husband serves in the army. “Today, I was not ashamed of my president and my country. I am not sure that the Americans can say the same.”
I suspect the whole thing was premeditated, so it wouldn’t have mattered. Does the VP normally interrupt the president when talking to other world leaders? Zelensky smiling and tacitly agreeing to Putin’s narrative was never going to happen. I also can’t imagine any European leader going to the White House and saying, “Yes, we’ve treated you very unfairly. The European Union was just a conspiracy to screw over America and we’re very sorry, Dear Leader…”
Thanks! Yeah, people are downvoting because the Russians are scumfucks. But being able to say “look how ecstatic the Russians are” is more powerful than saying “I bet the Russians are ecstatic.” It’s important to know even if it’s a massive contribution to my current rage spiral.
Paraphrasing:
Vance: Before now, no one’s tried to diplomacy to end this war and we’re going to do that.
Zelensky: We’ve tried diplomacy over and over and Putin has repeatedly broken those agreements. What diplomacy are you talking about?
Vance: I think it’s disrespectful for you to come here and try to litigate this in front of the American media. 🤡

Vance is such a fucking clown.
To be fair, he would’ve also deserved it for slapping that geriatric blowhard to the floor.
Here’s a link to the entire exchange. It’s fucking surreal and infuriating.
Even writing a post, you’re entering data through Firefox into the post box. We just don’t consider that data. It would be pretty quiet around here if you couldn’t do that…
The auto industry already had a 30-day exemption from tariffs.
