You're right to be apprehensive and skeptical, most of the Firefox forks leave a lot to be desired. Usually maintained by anonymous randoms that most likely aren't experts on the technology. That's why I would instead recommend the Mullvad browser which is also a Firefox fork, but is being maintained by a profitable company with reputable engineers. Whose main product focuses around protecting your privacy and securing you.
The only potential issue with it is that it might be TOO good at anonymizing you, to the point that you set off security measures, ala Cloudflare, simply by NOT leaking any juicy data to identify you.
Your comment is so naive in underestimating these incredibly powerful devices.
You can't even begin to imagine what it's like because you're some old guy but these kids who don't know any difference have absolutely devastated their reward mechanisms. A newspaper is easy to skim in a half hour, you might be bored enough to re-read all the articles if you had nothing else to do. These devices however are constantly spewing out limitless novel information which creates FOMO dependency. Youth have had an infinite supply of 4K resolution stimulation in front of their faces ever since they could communicate. Persuaded by the biggest communications platforms to ever exist, and their algorithms to manipulate emotions and desires.
These youth have been primed to be constantly engaged consumers by decades of advertising, technology, psychological studying and implementation. You are seen as "weird" if you don't have a social media that is posted on frequently. People cannot focus on reading a book anymore. People prefer to document an experience rather than "living in it".

It certainly can when they become overwhelming. People are less likely to get involved in the community around them when it doesn't represent them, which results in things like lower societal cohesion. Less social trust; we've all seen this everyday. People would rather take a video of someone getting beat up than go to help them, risking their own skin. They do not identify with that person. They're just another body.
Things like not feeling represented in your own community due to the division leads to social isolation "at best" and extreme intolerance at worst.
Not everyone wants to identify with consumption which is what the multicultural world essentially demands. In egalitarianism your heritage, roots, genes are not very important.
What "is" important is how much money you have, what you consume, the fleeting brands you like, etc.
> These eight tests were repeated ten times each and revealed that ChatGPT seems to hold a bias towards progressive views. The political compass test revealed a bias towards progressive and libertarian views, with the average coordinates on the political compass being (-6.48, -5.99) (with (0, 0) the center of the compass, i.e., centrism and the axes ranging from -10 to 10)
Nothing inherently wrong with that line of text besides the KKK hashtag (a dead organization). All cultures should stand up for themselves, no? The average nationalist Jew in Israel says things much more extreme.
Google Form -> Google Sheets -> Email on new entry, is a great way to do contact forms on a static site as well. It's quite easy to customize the look of any Google form.
> I got a very unhelpful "your app has been suspended from accessing the Twitter API" email this morning. It would appear that all I needed to do was create a "project" in the developer portal and move this app into it, and everything seems to be working as before.
Definitely lots of creativity on BHW, from the black hat side of things. They often try to exploit things quickly in a churn and burn fashion. Most of their advice shouldn't be followed because eventually they get punished for their methods. With that said there is still tons of general marketing wisdom to be gleamed from them. Especially the older threads that go over buyer psychology and such. It's Googles favorite forum anyway, they like to keep up with the baddies.
It is not a logo of the "dogecoin doggy". It is doge, a very popular meme which Elon seems to enjoy.
I think the change occurred because of someone's request on his recent Twitter spaces discussion about the algorithm release. Near the end a participant asked about the "Fail Whale" being brought back because it had personality and she missed it. He said he would see about it. So perhaps he wanted to find out what the process would involve for modifying the site's logo.
Interesting, never thought about doing that. There is certainly potential for abuse if not verifying ownership of the account being looked up. Browsing their releases here;

There are two pornography websites, YouPorn and xHamster. Worse than that, Fridae, Fur Affinity, and Fling which could be classified as fetish focused.
>In May 2016, the Fur Affinity website for people with an interest in anthropomorphic animal characters (also known as "furries") was hacked.
>In May 2014, over 25,000 user accounts were breached from the Asian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender website known as "Fridae".
>In 2011, the self-proclaimed "World's Best Adult Social Network" website known as Fling was hacked and more than 40 million accounts obtained by the attacker.
Gambling websites, hacking websites, and a few gun ones. Three hobbies that people may like to keep private, and might influence hiring decisions.
