    Update at 10:20 pm ET: Mozilla has since announced a change to the license language to address user complaints. It now says, “You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.”

    Mozilla may also receive location-related keywords from your search (such as when you search for “Boston”) and share this with our partners to provide recommended and sponsored content. Where this occurs, Mozilla cannot associate the keyword search with an individual user once the search suggestion has been served and partners are never able to associate search suggestions with an individual user. You can remove this functionality at any time by turning off Sponsored Suggestions—more information on how to do this is available in the relevant Firefox Support page.

    So, turn off Sponsored Suggestions and you’re (probably) good to go.













  • All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

    With the right joystick in place, it’s certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.



  • What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?

    We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.

    Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It’s useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.

    I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.
