I don’t understand quite why the Cambridge Analytica affair has everyone so exercised.

Why does Facebook stealing and peddling your data matter more when it’s in the realm of politics? They are doing that in the commercial arena every day, every hour, every minute, every second. If that sort of thing had been done in the service of electing Clinton or even Sanders, half the people in paroxysms of sputtering outrage would instead be cheering.

Yeah, it is heinous, but so are absolutely all of the other things that Facebook is doing. Don’t understand why this occurrence is particularly special.

FFFFFFF

Timed some tasks in the old and new (Quantum) Firefox that I routinely do tonight, achieving each task the fastest way I can find in both browsers.

1) Saving a bunch of photos of some bugs I wanted to keep from a webpage for reference and putting them in the proper directories.

Old Firefox: Less than a second

New Firefox: Seventeen minutes

2) Organizing Tabs (including closing certain tabs and not others, selective bookmarking without navigating to tab, etc).

Old Firefox: Five minutes for about two dozen tabs

New Firefox: Infinite, as it’s not possible

3) Switch Proxies between VPNs

Old Firefox: Less than a second

New Firefox: Infinite, as it’s not possible

As I was writing this, I realized timing anything else was pointless as most of the things I want to do are simply no longer possible at all in the new Firefox.

Fuck Mozilla and fuck the Firefox developers!
