FUD around Google FLoC and interest-cohort Permissions-Policy header value
This non-standard header value fabled to opt you out of Google's new tracking technology is as close to tinfoil hat as you can get. Sure, it won't harm you, but it won't protect you from much either and you will look silly wearing it to people who know better.
Tinfoil hat tip to @Seirdy

♲ @equalityAlec@twitter.com: Thread: This is an important video to watch and absorb. Watch how cops put metal chains on his body and take him away to a cage for not having a "license" for his bicycle. Never forget: only 4% of all police budgets are used for what police call "violent crime."

I fully agree with this, and at the other end of the white reactionary spectrum, performative white guilt (famously exemplified by the quote "I would have voted for Obama a third term if I could" in the movie Get Out) is also out of the question. The whole Black Pride movement only exists because in general black people have been and are still getting a lot of shit from white people. Ideally, it shouldn't exist, but we aren't there yet, and no, white people can't join this movement. White Pride is white supremacism, full stop, deal with it. ♲ @heatherhorns@plush.city: like okay i think i have this out of my system for the moment but uh like
no. no you don't get to enjoy being white. that's not how it works. the entire CONCEPT of being white was created as a superiority thing. WE did this. not anybody else. White people are the ones who decided that white meant "the domineering ethnicities." I mean, that's how races get homogenized and "turned white." that's the criteria. -

Not surprising, but still disappointing. ♲ @IGD_News@twitter.com: "A data breach at a Christian crowdfunding website has revealed that serving police officers + public officials have donated money to fundraisers for accused vigilante murderers, far-right activists + fellow officers accused of shooting black Americans."

This would actually be fine if they admitted it and owned up to it, instead they systematically retreat into their "us VS them" mentality like described in this sad thread: twitter.com/briangaar/status/1… -

♲ @AsteadWesley@twitter.com: at bare minimum body cams repeatedly prove police are an untrustworthy journalistic source and it would seem that any media narrative reliant on "police said" must be coupled with the context of what we also know -- police lie

Every time I see a bunch of candles in #videogames, I can’t help but wonder who’s fronting the wax budget, and who’s tasked with replacing them until my character barges in, barely notices them, slaughter everybody on site and leaves a smoldering ruin on my way to the next level. -

Since I've learned that, I've been partial to actual leather again. Greenwashing works. ♲ @iamdaniela@twitter.com: I know I’ve said this a thousand times, but can we PLEASE for the love of all that is sane stop calling it “VEGAN LEATHER” - it’s PLASTIC. You are wearing a plastic jacket.

Today the Vivaldi browser team came out against FLoC, Google's newest ad-targeting technology they are rolling out in Chrome/Chromium-based browsers. If you trust the Vivaldi team you can safely resume updating to version 3.7 an up.

♲ @steak_umm@twitter.com: the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful
