• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well „the right thing“ says nothing. Doing the right thing can be making tons of money, which it apparently also is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like their motto isn’t „don’t be Evil“ anymore for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AT&T says it won’t build fiber home Internet in half of its wireline footprint⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I hate that shit. „Oh no its not profitable“ … „wait there’s competitor?“

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AT&T says it won’t build fiber home Internet in half of its wireline footprint⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile, Germany had plans for fiber in the 70s(!) but the following chancellor had a relative in the copper business ._.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moderators protect us from the worst of the internet. That comes at huge personal cost.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kroger’s plans to roll out facial recognition at its grocery stores is attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could lead to surge pricing and put customers’ personal data at risk⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing to see here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's coming! :(⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve also been trying out zen. While I really enjoy the sleek Ui and some addons it’s kind of slower than „vanilla Firefox“ which it depends on if I’m not wrong. I’ve tried on multiple machines though mainly on my work laptop which is quite beefy. I’m still using zen though so take what you want from that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It really do be like that sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  let’s go anxiety and weed addiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas State Police Gear Up for Massive Expansion of Surveillance Tech⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rules for thee not for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CrowdStrike unhappy with “shady commentary” from competitors after outage⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels like a pattern though. I’ve not seen too much from them but they seem to be saying factually correct stuff. But neither worded correctly nor at the right time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toot toot⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure it’s not the other way around? Maybe he just says toot toot to be sure it’s not a turd arriving…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨National Public Data Published Its Own Passwords⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a book I really like in which they have to kiss their devices since all other used biometrics are already publicly available… through breaches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trash Icon 🗑⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a windows logo in it. Iconic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will be either of those two. The effort required to circumvent the restrictions will get increasingly higher. As someone fittingly said a few days ago. Let the 1984 commence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this isn’t talked about enough. Sure

  just use Firefox But for how long is it gonna work that way until they too deprecate v2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shart, not fart⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The name of the person answering

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alexa Is in Millions of Households—and Amazon Is Losing Billions⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this. It’s the same as with phones, just more obvious because they(Alexa devices) can’t do most of the other stuff you can do on a smartphone.

  And because it might not be that legal or ethical or a good look to customers, they‘d rather not disclose it and hide the revenue partly through their „normal“ ad business or other venues. But that’s just my guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google cancels plans to kill off cookies for advertisers⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. #
