I’m glad that the article @paulpogoda and I wrote for @ProverenoM, “Holocaust for Sale” raised awareness and drew the attention of major outlets like @AFPFactCheck and @BBCWorld! I’m really enjoying reading all the new pieces on this topic!

A number of Mozila extensions that can be used bypass Russian internet restrictions have become unavailable in the Mozilla official catalog for Russian users. In March Russia banned the distribution of information on technology used to bypass blocks. kommersant.ru/doc/6762086

Mozilla Firefox blocks anti-Censorship and pro-Privacy extensions in Russia In direct contradiction of Mozilla's alleged "Commitment to an open Internet". lunduke.locals.com/post/5738970/m…


Looks like @mozilla removed access to anti-censorship @firefox add-ons in Russia. Kommersant reports they were pressured by Russian censorship agency Roskomnadzor. Mozilla had no business in Russia, so why? kommersant.ru/doc/6762195

UX designers who eliminated the filesystem from user consciousness in name of simplicity ruined the world and are morally culpable for shriveling minds of children who are unable to tackle the challenges of today thanks to a choice rooted in misunderstood advocacy for the user.

If you optimize hard enough over any open-ended problem, you get minds; minds that want things. Minds and wanting are effective ways of computing complicated answers. That's how humans, and human brains, came into existence just from evolution hill-climbing "how to reproduce".
