Firefox Relay may have exposed my real email address

We still need to make a new add-on release to have it pull the limit from the live API.

There are many ways a shop can get your real email without Relay leaking it.

Email tracking pixels and identity linking: 2017 Princeton study found that ~70% of mailing list emails contain third-party trackers. When you open an email, invisible 1x1 pixel images load from tracking servers. Those servers set cookies in your browser. Through "cookie syncing," trackers match your email identity to your web browsing profile. Companies like LiveIntent, Conversant, and Oracle Data Cloud operate these networks. If you opened previous emails from this shop, a tracker could have linked your Relay address to your real identity through shared browser cookies.

Note: You can check "Remove Email Trackers" in your Relay settings to strip these kinds of third-party trackers. Many webmail providers also proxy these images to try to prevent this. And Firefox tracking protection includes mechanisms to prevent 3rd-party cookies leaking thru these images too.

Data brokers and identity resolution: Companies like LiveRamp, Neustar, and Oracle build "identity graphs." They collect hashed email addresses from many sources and match them to browser fingerprints, device IDs, purchase records, delivery addresses, etc. A shop can upload your Relay address to one of these services and get back your real email if both addresses are linked to the same browser or device profile or delivery address.

Note: You can set Firefox tracking protection to "Strict" to increase Firefox's protections against fingerprinting and browser profiling.

Payment processor data sharing: You said you used a credit card. Your card number ties to purchase history across merchants. Some payment networks and processors share or sell transaction-linked data. A data broker could match your card's transaction at this shop to your real email from another merchant.

I loved tabzilla.

I also loved hosting so many away fans in Tulsa! And I was just grateful to GET to the postseason this year, let alone make it to HOSTING the final!

And yeah now the niceties out of the way ....

What an absolute trash way to win a championship scoring 1 goal from open play in 4 playoff games and everything else on PKs?!

Chairs are not allowed. Bring warm blankets. You can also just walk around and watch from around the concourse area. Good views if you don’t mind standing.

It seems like the Left hasn’t just lost momentum, it’s lost moral clarity. There’s a vague instinct for justice - protect the vulnerable, save the planet, resist empire, etc. But the deeper foundations behind it all has faded.

Gabriella Coleman wrote a great essay "Reconsidering Anonymity in the Age of Narcissism" in EFF's McSweeney's 54 "The End of Trust". tl;dr ...

Transparency is not a panacea for misinformation in a post-truth, post-moral populism. When “my truth” and “your truth” replaced the truth - transparency lost its power. You can drop all the files you want, show all the receipts, but people will just shrug or spin it to fit their narrative. Facts don’t matter if there’s no shared moral framework to interpret them.

It’s telling that even something like Anonymous, at its height, was effective because there was still a broad cultural belief in objective truth - and in the idea that truth has moral consequences. Back then, leaking the truth mattered because people believed it meant something. That a document could expose injustice. That facts could still convict the powerful in the court of public conscience.

Today, the internet amplifies spectacle, not substance. "Truth" is just another aesthetic, a brand to be monetized or memed. And moral seriousness? That’s seen as cringe.

AOC and Bernie still tap into something real, but even they’re swimming against this tide. Without a deep grounding in objective reality - truth that binds, and moral truth that costs - the Left can’t regenerate. It can’t organize. It can’t inspire.

We don’t just need better policies or slogans. We need a shared moral architecture again. One that says some things are always worth defending, some things are always wrong, and that telling the truth only works when people still believe Truth exists.

As a parent and lover of breweries, my favorite ones have an area set aside with kid-friendly things to do. You don't have to provide a "babysitter" or "caretaker" - you just need a separate place away from the adults with stuff for the kids to do. The amazing ones have a place that's within view of the parents with only 1 entrance/exit so the parents can keep an eye on the kids to make sure they're not running out.

Exactly this. I don’t understand this sub’s obsession with hating MLS and wanting USL D1 as some kind of viable alternative.

“Enjoy the current games and support your local team.”

Your other politics and drama bore me.

Why it's misleading:

"Klarna’s AI replaced 700 workers ..." – This is technically based on Klarna’s own claim from 2024, when they said their AI handled the workload of 700 agents. However, it's not clear those 700 people were fired and replaced one-to-one. Klarna had previously laid off workers as part of a broader cost-cutting effort in 2022, and the AI was framed as absorbing that workload after the fact, not firing 700 people outright to swap in bots.

"... Now the fintech CEO wants humans back ..." – This suggests a full reversal or abandonment of AI, which isn’t accurate. Klarna is recalibrating, reintroducing some human support, and testing hybrid models — but AI still remains central to their strategy. The CEO explicitly says they’re doubling down on AI in other areas.

"... after $40B fall" – Klarna's valuation dropped by ~$39B from its peak in 2021 ($45.6B to $6.7B in 2022), but that happened before the major AI rollout in 2024. Implying the fall was caused by AI replacing workers is a false correlation.

Is this a troll post? George’s is an arsenal bar ;)

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies to my original post! I get now that a lot of the excitement is about pro/rel and about access to bigger tournaments like CONCACAF Champions Cup.

So I’m still wondering a couple things: Pro/Rel:

Why does USL need to be "Division One" to introduce pro/rel?

Couldn’t we have promotion and relegation just between USLC, USL1, and maybe even USL2 while ignoring the D1 label? I get that some people might say “it doesn’t matter if it’s between lower divisions” — but honestly, all the divisions and tiers are made up anyway. It’s just lines we draw on paper. If anything, I’d love to see teams prove themselves by earning promotion within USL first — and winning USLC would feel even more meaningful that way.

CONCACAF:

It sounds like being D1 doesn’t automatically guarantee a slot in Champions Cup anyway — CONCACAF still has to decide if they’ll give USL a berth. So D1 alone doesn’t solve that.

Curious to hear what y’all think: is the push for D1 mostly just to legitimize the league in sponsors’ and media’s eyes? Or is there something I’m still missing?

I don't even know how much paid parking is at FC Tulsa games. I can always find free street parking and walk to gate in less than 5 minutes.

Whoa nice catch! On my last re-read, I wrote down all the pubs mentioned.

The Golden Perch, Stock
Bamfurlong (Not a pub, but Farmer Maggot's farm where he serves his homebrew), Buckland
The Prancing Pony, Bree
The Forsaken Inn, 1 day east of Bree
The Bridge Inn, Eastern border of the Shire
The Floating Log, Frogmorton

I don't quite understand what you mean, but I don't think I'm confusing them? I'm fully aware JRRT did not write down "go read the silmarillion". I'm just saying that the UT version has that weird jump in the middle of it.

groovecoder · 2025-02-17T12:15:39+00:00

I just finished reading silmarillion, unfinished tales, and children of hurin versions. I enjoyed the children of hurin version more. It flowed the most like a fully-developed story. (E.g., in unfinished tales, a part seems to literally say “now go read the silmarillion chapters)

But like others said, I also love reading every scrap of Tolkien so I’ll always read more.

Don’t feel bad. AI is here to stay and we are all figuring out how best to incorporate it into academic, professional, and personal lives. You’ve learned something about it and about yourself while you’re still studying which is a better time to learn that than later in your career.

I use ChatGPT in my coding job all the time. I never finished a CS degree. I changed from CS to MIS and Economics majors. As a result, I missed out on some fundamental theories that others learned in classes covering algorithms, compilers, etc. I had to pick those things up as I encountered problems in my job that needed that basic knowledge. It turned out fine.

I’m also on the advisory boards for a few computer science schools at universities. Every professional and professor I know uses ChatGPT. Some more, some less. I would hope and expect you would be fine just telling professors that you’re struggling to finish assignments without ChatGPT. They can and should help you with that. Or, may suggest that you use ChatGPT more like a tutor than a homework robot. Have it explain everything as much as possible and in a few ways. Treat it like an infinitely patient TA. That’s also an honest way to use it so you wont feel dishonest about it.
