Don't screen shot then, post the text. Or a txt. I think that conversation should be interesting.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I'll check the thread.
Yeah I switched from trust to paranoia, it seems, hopefully I'll settle on a middle ground.
Honestly I don't think I'm technically adept enough to check this myself. I was following firefox privacy guides, and the (much more competent) people writing them were puzzled about those two.
Of course it's not necessarily malicious, but it has became hard to be trusting.
In the end I kind of just gave up on privacy, I take mitigation measures as a symbolic gesture, but still assume someone's watching over my shoulder whatever I do online. Not a good feeling to be honest.
How would I check exactly what data firefox is sending home?
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net
There are unexpected connections to these two domains that cannot be disabled using firefox options.
Easily? How?
AFAIK no matter what you do, firefox still calls home sometimes.
From what I can tell, the idea is to make you feel like, with a little bit of effort, the privacy thing would be achievable,
but when you actually try, it's a whole different ordeal.
We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.
Yes, but as I remember it, it's not exclusive to that lake.
I don't know much honestly, I know of them because of some friends living in Peru.
You can look up Uru (or Uro) people.
Basically it was their take on the castle and moat.
The islands are made of some sort of cane, and have to be maintained regularly, it's very labor intensive.
It's one of the many cultures there that are at a crossroads, since they have to choose a way between their traditional lifestyle and the comfort of modernity. Knowing that tourism can bring them an order of magnitude more money that what they can make locally, at the risk of becoming actors, maybe.
Some Peruvian indigenous people actually live on man made floating islands (on lakes, not at sea).
Very skeptical of that one.
They've been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it's the first time I hear of it actually working.
The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I'm not inclined to trust them at all.
I hope I'm wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.
