> Good designers will reject this...

I have no idea how everything will play out, but this sounds a lot like the people saying "good programmers will reject this" six months ago.

Quite apart from anything else, it ignores the fact that—particularly within large organisations—designers (and programmers) frequently have very little say in the matter.

If only it was just a single crappy car.

Modern cars gather a truly shocking amount of data about their "users", which is then sold to all and sundry, including those wishing to sell you products.

Just for clarity, you do mean Thunderbird (the email client), not Thunderbolt (this new AI client)?

Thunderbird (the email client) was spun off from Mozilla Corporation into a new for-profit company called MZLA Technologies. Both corps are still subsidiaries of the Mozilla Foundation. Thunderbolt is a new product from the MZLA Technologies team.

I am a happy Thunderbird user. But when I see such reorganizing and deliberately confusing naming, I assume that there is somewhere intent to deceive.

TIL, thank you.

The headline wasn't "Taylor Otwell bought a Lambo in 2022 and now injects ads...".

VCs typically want a return on their 57 million dollar investment.

And people warned about this when they announced it.

This is a sign those warnings were valid.

And that's the start of the enshittification.

That was some time ago. According to Yegge, Gas Town is now stable and ready for everyday use.

> Gas Town “just works.” It does its job, it has tons of integration points, and it has been stable for many weeks. People are using it to build real stuff.

> So as far as I’m concerned, Gas Town is ready. That’s why I feel it merits a 1.0.0 release.

I was trying to use Gas Town heavily only 3 weeks ago, and while it's fascinating, it's also very much still the bleeding edge.

The neat part though, is agents are so interwoven through its operations, it can kind of power through almost any error. It's a strange-but-real form of resilience.

We need more good cameras with guns.

Actually, give them small rotors - then they can even move and aim their guns at things!

As I understand it, the author wrote to Flock as they are the entity collecting the PII. Your analogy would only make sense if the author had written to Flock's customers (and even then it's a rather strained comparison).

> they are the entity collecting the PII

I'm not convinced this is the case. It might be equipment made by them, but does that necessarily mean they were ever even in possession of the data in question?

Would you ask the manufacturer of your oven what you ate for dinner last week? No, you're just using an appliance that they made.

In the case of Flock I don't think we have any evidence of whether Flock themselves ever hold or store any data produced by their devices when operated by a customer.
