To be clear, THIS is how nights of the future should be lit
This is bat friendly street lighting, which not only looks sick as fuck but allows bats to pass through without disturbance, as they cannot see red.
orange and especially white lights deter bats and prevent them from reaching feeding grounds at nighttime. Please if you can, write to your local council and encourage red street lights!!!!
New copy link without site tracking feature: removes the tracking at the end of urls usually that end with “?=[long ass string of numbers or info on your browser or how you clikced the link]” previously an optional feature of ublock origin to remove it as you go to sites, but now you can also copy links as well
New “Tell websites not to sell or share my data” option in privacy settings. Websites have no obligation to do this, except under GDPR which is most sites. adds a bit to your fingerprintability, however if everyone turns this on it will work better for everyone.
Firefox is rolling-out Cookie Banner Blocker by default in private windows for users in Germany during the coming weeks. Firefox will now auto-refuse cookies and dismiss annoying cookie banners for supported sites.
you can set “cookiebanners.service.mode” to 2 to automatically refuse cookies and have them stop asking you about it. While it’s also an optional feature of ublock origin, this might work better
Firefox has enabled URL Tracking Protection by default in private windows for all users in Germany. Firefox will remove non-essential URL query parameters that are often used to track users across the web.
Not sure how to turn this on in settings (this is also an optional ublock feature, these don’t hurt to stack) but once again removes the tracking at the end of urls telling you how the link was shared and how you got there
Firefox cares about your privacy and is making the internet a safer place from corporations. Do your part and download it today

Mainstream news tends to resent social media because it means they can’t control the message anymore.
Same with BLM. It gets a lot harder to form a narrative when almost everyone has a camera in their pocket.
Not much you can do to refute a guy yelling at a woman on camera: “If I didn’t steal it, someone else would have” when she points out he stole her house and it was an incredibly wrong thing to do.
