It isn't about indvidual privacy. It's about not further empowering the wealthy and the entities that serve them. I'm disappointed with Mozilla, but this seems to have become par for the course
See a therapist. It's great you feel comfortable reaching out to the community, but our time is fleeting and memories short. Going to speak to someone who is professionally trained to help people in these kinds of circumstances on a regular basis helps a lot.
The earth will be fine. It's us that are fucked
'i' before 'e' except after 'c'
Ad blocker is a terrible misnomer. Go to ublock's github and read the README. Ublock's primary purpose is to protect your right to privacy. Blocking ads is a consequence.
That given, your question could be reframed as "I don't have spyware and my friends do. Should I tell them how to protect themselves at the risk of being spied on again?" An ethical dilemma where only a coward makes the wrong choice.
You have to separate:
- Stallman the person
- Stallman the programmer
- Stallman the philosopher
His problem is he went to answers.microsoft.com That place is a cesspool of fuck you, but here's a copy paste of something from 2006 so I can get some karma
A friend of mine and I put this together a few years ago. I hope yall find it helpful:

It's unfortunate how many replys are missing the good part of this and rather respond with criticism and negativity. We can do better than that folks. This is a good thing!
They are similar in that neither are scientific theories, as they are equally non-falsifiable. We may live in a universe where it is impossible to see the face of god or a glitch in the matrix by construction.
Given that impossibility, how then could you perform an experiment or make an observation that contradicts the theory? To be reductive, science isn't about proving. It's failing to disprove. If there isn't a set of circumstances in which a theory can be disproven, it isn't scientific.
Unless you are a string theorist. Then you just say whatever the hell you want.
Tell him the truth. He's so annoying you asked a bunch of randos on the internet what to do about hi.
