this is not cancellation. This is Google taking a step back, and regroup to attack back.

Strange they don't even mention Fediverse. It just felt too dated.

Here it is. Another nail in the open web coffin.

I still have trouble understanding the distinction between "a human consuming different artists, and replicating the style" vs "software consuming different artists, and replicating the style".

I was not expecting a rabbit hole that deep. Who underwrite that api for shipping?

I never used Chrome. happy user of Firefox since it's conception.

What? The? Fuck?

It's not that interesting. There is an on going AI (llm) craze that requires participants to acquire huge amounts of "clean" data. Reddit and Twitter are platforms that can provide this. So why not cash on it? Also free money is no more so they are all looking to find ways to penny pinch.

It's nice to see that Mozilla has our backs on this. I always have been a happy Firefox user and now I am happier.

I wouldn't ever imagine to shed a tear for the processes I have killed in my whole life. I feel like a homicidal maniac.

Even though the malicious compliance of this and the rest is fantastic, this is not really harming Reddit management much. It's harming through decreasing the signal to noise ratio of the data, that's for sure. However, usage of the environment shows increase. This is still serving their purpose.

Block users all you want, but don't expect me to "attest my hardware and software" from a 3rd party. Let alone make this a standard and think about leaving the keys to parties which are probably "themselves" only.

How on earth the expectation can be giving authority to third parties to set my hardware and software to be validated so they attest to an arbitrary standard which I will never have control over?

See the current SSL certificate authorities mess. I have to pay to a third party to asure my clients that my server can securely communicate with them. Now they are doing this to clients with a more strict manner.

Just check the mirrors man, perfect likeness. I don't think any genai is there yet.

Because it just works (tm). And it is flexible to a point that no GUI can ever accomplish. It's liberating. It's repeatable, It's automatable. It's about control. And most importantly, it's FAST!

If you try to max out the control, GUI comes out of as an UX disaster. Check any enterprise software GUI to see what I mean. There will be lot's and lot's of buttons all around, and you would also end up with some kind of text input or programming environment inside it.

A more important topic is, what federated data will be kept on Meta, and most importantly HOW that data will be processed/used/sold by Meta.

I hate video links. The information could have been a few paragraphs of text that I could glance. Instead this much minutes of video that you can't search, glance over, read while listening to something else.. So it's a pass for me.

Import white pawns across from the other tables, arm them with shields and force move black pawns out on the north side.

There is an old cartoon series called "Zican Adam" In Turkey. Which is a slang-ish way of saying "Sican Adam", "The man that shits". It's about a man where in different situations he gets nervous or angry and shits over the perpetrators.

This reminds me that.

And that's the problem. It gives full control power to Google. That's the reason that popularity needs to be broken.

Thank you. I edited the main body too.

This is a bad corporate speak that says, "Don't scrape our data, consume through api and pay upto your necks".

When you consider "my problem is solved this time" as documentation then a discord discussion can be considered good documentation. But If you want documentation as reference for everyone and don't wan't to repeat process/procedures every time some one needs it. It's the worst platform for it. And For documentation we never want the first.

In this context email lists were the best of the best documentation ever.

I have been with Firefox, since it's inception. Never left it. And it never let me down.

Done airlines give you outside views, but shoot with potatoes. So it's better not having that. Also there is nothing to see at most of the cruise height.

I am using Firefox too. However I also consume lots and lots of general purpose websites which in time probably become not consumable if you are not compliant. Which in turn either render FF not usable, or adopt the unfortunate standards.

First, persistency. You data lifecycle may not be directly proportional to your applications lifecycle. You may need it even after the app is shut down.

Second, RDBM systems provide a well defined memory/storage structure and API - "structured query language". This enables you to easily query your data and acquire suitable views that are beneficial for your applications purposes.

Third, It's always better to outsource your data layer to a battle tested, and trustworty database then trying to reinvent the wheel.

So this paves a road for you to focus on your business logic than splitting that focus for the data layer and business logic.

Consider this but triple the complexity and everything https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/images/1/1f/BinPjOptions.PNG

I can't answer any of these. I don't have the knowledge. I am not using Firefox on mobile, only on desktop. (opera mobile user)

However what I can say is, you need to make compromises on some of your convenience to free yourself from a user hostile company's software, or forks of it which strongholds you to their whims. Silicon Valley is trying to profit against your best interests.

I strongly suggest against using any Chromium forks. I already explained why in another post. I'll put the link to that here: https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/282011/Why-do-most-browser-companies-opt-for-a-Chromium-Blink-base#entry-comment-1301554

is prowlarr better than jackett? Is it wise to invest some time to migrate?

You can use pencils as supports too

Ok so what is that mean? I am not familiar with the slang at all? Also I suppose I need to point out I am not native too.

Telegram seem to provide the least info, not signal.

Isopropyl alcohol works. I used IPA for cleaning car windows from sticker residue.

Did Opera announced any intent?

Google is the maintainer and biggest contributor to chromium.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium\_(web\_browser) and they've already introduced wei into chromium without any pushback.

There are forks of chromium already like Vivaldi. You can still use them. Unfortunately using them is not a guarantee that Google can't use their usage numbers as leverage while politicing or advertising bad behaviour to other parties like social media.

Worse yet, maintaining a fork is a huge undertaking for a project in the size of chromium. This means in time the fork may struggle to keep up. Or upstream may introduce functions that depends on the bad behaviours and the fork be forced to either adopt both, or adopt none.

Firefox even has tab sandboxes now. So you can even run personal aws on one tab and business aws in another. They will have their own sandboxes so won't collide.

Also as a long running Firefox user, I don't get these incompatibilities at all. And if you start using Firefox and increase the usage numbers the incompatible sites would need to reconsider their stance.

As someone who born to a country where a bidet is the norm and migrated to a country which doesn't have it. We start to use wet wipes and believe me when I say it a bidet is way way way better. So I bought an attachment. Now I can't use any other toilet except that one.
