Basically ruins the fediverse concept, as it will ultimately lock out all small instances of self hosted instances, which really is a shame.

That assumes that because they're paying they aren't also tracking. They might not use it for ads directly but they'll still sell it to others that will show you ads off Facebook.
What websites? I use Firefox as my daily driver on desktop and mobile, and I rarely run into problems. Like so infrequently that I don't even remember the last time.
Yes, it's mentioned in the post.
Definitely added some coverage to less computer tech, like the car reviews and pure science coverage, but in terms of treating their readers well, they're still very good. Not that the bar is high, but still.
Until proven otherwise, I'd assume the worst. They know your identity to travel, and they link it with profiles from all the major ad networks.
Win-win.
I see what you did there.
There are definitely still shareholders, they're just private.
I do not like this prediction, because it seems like a plausible reality. Which would be awful.
I tend to agree with your summary of the generations, but my experience in life sounds largely similar to yours, so some obvious bias there. The future you paint feels almost inevitable, and I hate every bit of it. Yet I can't find any reasonably effective way to change it.
Which are all useless if nobody you want to talk to is there.
Definitely black mirror, but pretty sure it is not episode one.
Firefox for Android does support them fully, it's just desktop Firefox that doesn't have pwa support.
It's already on the way, the office app "outlook" has a "new outlook" mode, which is this same web based version that only talks to Microsoft servers, so even if you use a non Microsoft email account, Microsoft takes your credentials,syncs your email to their server and then shows it to you through the web outlook.
While I completely agree with you about electron, I still don't have to enjoy the fact that companies are outsourcing their lack of development in native tech to my wallet in terms of wasting resources on my device. Now perhaps the cost of the associated services would be higher if they had a native app which is a fair response. I still don't have to like it.
Written as a user (and occasionally enjoyer) of electron based software.
Yes. Technically, no, you will still be able to have a very simple ad blocking addon, but for all practical purposes, mv3 will kill ad blockers as we know them today.
It's ok to think recall is invasive and bad for privacy, but it isn't even released yet. If you're gonna hate something and drag it through the mud, do it for real and valid reasons.
Ephemeral discord servers are awful because they don't scale and they can only ever help the lowest common denominator of questions/issues. We need something else, but it has yet to present itself as a solution.
Some might even call that invention a train.
Former kbiner, but out of the loop on this one. What's I miss?
That's interesting, I'd be curious to read more about that. Do you have any links to get started with? Searching this type of stuff on Google yields less than ideal results.
Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we've got. Now we've got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.
I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of "concern".
What about bank apps and nfc? Do those work or are you just out of luck if you need them on graphene or lineage?
Fix. Or. Repair. Daily.
Exactly. It's always been likely to be broken by someone at some point. Url shorteners are a thing mostly because of twitters original character limit. Or at least that's when they gained popularity.
I hate that you're probably right.
To them it's a feature, not a bug.
Community.
Math checks out, but something still seems off...
Why is that? I've read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They're out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.
I certainly hope it gets there and they get what's coming to them.
Check out Avalonia. It's like cross platform WPF. Not winforms, but still pretty good and easy to start with.
it's not like it will auto-delete.
You're probably right it won't, but it definitely could be done by Apple and Google.
The problem today is that it's an order of magnitude longer. Chicago to LA by airplane is 4 hours. Chicago to LA via Amtrak is about 56 hours. I don't know that high speed rail is going to fix that problem, sure it might get it down some, but even a 24 hour train is six times longer than flying.
I say this as someone that takes Amtrak at every opportunity because I enjoy trains and want to see them become viable for more people.
That's basically the way interurban trains operated for years before the highway system and personal vehicles replaced that mode of transport. It wasn't solar powered back then, but the idea makes a lot of sense.
This is fantastic. Been waiting for this for years.
Had to jump into the Web app to see if it was really there, and it was and worked just like they said it would.
Painful how true that is. It's awful.
At least some doorbell cameras power themselves off the doorbell power supply, so it's not all devices with battery. Still more than should exist though.
That sounds awful. Imaging going back and forth requesting changes until it gets it right. It'd be like chatting with openai only it's trying to merge that crap into your repo.
If it's a personal device, at worst they would see you are using a VPN and maybe ask what's up with that, but they can't mitm you on your own device.
Money. They don't get a cut of a pwa app.
