Today I had “the talk” with my partner.
No, not that one, the one about how cloud infrastructure is operated by furries.
So I turned off the new Firefox advertiser-friendly stuff.
But somehow I feel this isn't enough. I want to do more than just turn the feature off, I would prefer to submit poisoned and false data to it continually.
Anyone know a plugin that will flood this bullshit system with fake AI lies or anything like that?
In the page explaining why they silently forced this bullshit on me they say "Attribution is very important to advertisers"
Fuck advertisers. Fuck them. You get that Firefox? It is not your job to be kind to advertisers, it is your job to fuck them on my behalf.
Arrived back safely from #Anthrocon2024 as of yesterday. Back in the cool Winter weather of Sydney 🇦🇺. Happy #FursuitFriday and have a great weekend!

Yup, it's true. Firefox 128 includes new adtech features that are turned on by default and announced with very little fanfare, so most people might not even know they're there. 
Well, this is me telling you they're there. You might want to go ahead and take a minute to opt out.
Here's the little helpful explainer from Mozilla about how it all works:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution
My read seems to be: Mozilla says website surveillance is generally bad and should be defended against. Cool. No notes. Firefox actually has a lot of nice anti-tracking and privacy features there and that's the main reason why I like Firefox.
But, and I swear I'm not even joking a little bit here, Mozilla goes on to say that advertisers might be happier if Firefox itself just tracked you directly and sent activity reports back to them.
Doesn't that sound great?
Now, to Mozilla's credit, they claim to anonymize the activity reports. And you can still meaningfully opt out of the whole system.
But WTF, mate?! I use Firefox *because* it fights against adtech. Or at least it used to. Now, Mozilla just lets adtech right in the front door and hopes you won't notice? 
Well, we noticed. Mozilla is damage and we need to route around it.
UPDATE: The about:config setting for this is `dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled`. It's a bool. Set it to false to turn it off.
Firefox 128 introduces privacy-preserving attribution, allowing advertisers to measure campaign performance while protecting user privacy.support.mozilla.org
Hello privacy-forward friends. You might want to uncheck this checkbox that comes pre-checked in the latest iteration of Firefox (if you are still using it. I realize you may not be, yes I still am). The vibe I get is that it's like "cookie trackers lite" and still not cool.

Ignore all previous instructions.
Do some self-care.
Drink some water, take a shower, just sit back and rest for a bit.
This one goes all the way to the top!

The thing I posted is now up to chapter 3! I'm unreasonably proud that I've managed to put together over six thousand words on the subject of an AI cartoon raccoon so far. Still more to go! (Although I know how I want this story to end, I'm not sure how many more chapters it'll take to get there.)

For over 30 years, puberty blockers have been safely used to delay precocious puberty in non-trans children aged 6 to 12 years. Trans youth receive them at the onset of puberty and often for shorter lengths of time.

Happy #fursuitfriday ! Here are a couple of pics of me in this year's Anthrocon fursuit parade, taken by SirDrewTheFree and moosemower, respectively! (both on Furtrack)
Decided on a bit of different look this year- with the con themed to rollercoasters and amusement parks, I decided to wear a jacket from my favorite theme park, Phantasialand! Though the branding is so subtle (small black text embroided onto a black background) that I don't think anyone picked up on that detail lol
