"The basic insight behind Prio is that for most purposes we don’t need to collect individual data, but rather only aggregates. [Prio] does this by having the browser break the data up into two “shares”, each of which is sent to a different server. Individually the shares don’t tell you anything about the data being reported, but together they do... Over the next few months we’ll be doing further testing..."

#Mozilla goes at it hard against #tracking in #Firefox 🔥

"This is about more than protecting users — it’s about giving them a voice. Some sites will continue to want user data in exchange for content, but now they will have to ask for it.."

@gwmngilfen I always run to Jessica when I feel imposter syndrome. This super short version of her hour long talk still captures the message well.

#LGTQIA #GRAReform #Gender

Folks we need as many of us in the UK as possible to fill this in. There is a campaign of folks wishing to deny the rights of #trans and #nonbinary people.

ENOUGH! Now is OUR time to act.

I urge you set aside at least 30 mins for this #action

#Firefox announced months back a new deal with #TroyHunt to implement #HIBP. It's hitting the big time now! 🕺

Test batch to en_US users in version 62. If AOK then it's double plus good for wide release.
➕ ➕ 🐱

Exciting! 👏 This is mega useful. I've been using HIBP for years and even seen Troy speak here in London. Thrilling to see his work's much deserved exposure.

62 lands September 5.

@jk ❤️ 🤗 💚

So #Mozillians..

I see you. 👋

There has been a new, obvious, and continuing flow of your lovely faces in the last 14 days.

Was it DWebSummit & tl;dr that drove you to take action or perhaps something else?

Keep testing instances. Spin up your own if you're game. Ping me if you wish to pick my brain.

Us early adopters felt quite lonely until recently. A warm personal WELCOME to Mastodon!
