Gotta say, this meme is pretty relatable - I’m sure most of us have encountered kids whose entire answer to every problem is “communism”.

The update was impossible to revert (though TP-Link said “Ok write to our support and we’ll give you the downgrade file” no fuck you).
That doesn’t sound like it was impossible, it sounds like you just didn’t want to do it.
This is the sanest Spectator article I’ve ever read.
Robotaxis could potentially help traffic by being smaller than current cars. The vast majority of journeys shouldn’t require anything bigger than a Renault Twizy.
Constitution says you have to be born in the USA to be Captain America.
I’d love to debate this with you properly but I’ve got COVID right now and don’t have the energy to put together a decent response, sorry. Basically I just don’t see how the specific features in the new Chrome build let advertisers do anything they can’t already do. I don’t see how they contribute to ads getting worse, or where “nickel and diming” comes into it.
I know what the Topics API does. I’m asking for a concrete example of exactly how it’s going to make my internet experience worse. (That Register article doesn’t provide one.)
Serious question: let’s say I continue using Chrome and Privacy Sandbox becomes the norm. How does my internet experience get worse?
The whole point of the Privacy Sandbox is that Google is NOT sharing your browsing history with advertising partners. All that’s shared is information about whether or not your usage of Chrome suggests an interest in specific topics. The current list of topics is here: https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/topics/blob/main/taxonomy_v1.md
That sounds pretty useful, why did it stop?
Because I want Lemmy to succeed and grow, I’m making a real effort to contribute to discussions where previously I’d have just thought things to myself and moved on. I really hope more people do the same so we can start to sustain those more niche forums.
Oh jeez, that’s me.
It’s not just preferring FOSS, though – it’s as if people have to publicly perform their hatred of Microsoft.
My goto for distrust of MS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
There’s not a single reference on that page that’s less than 20 years old. Yes, Microsoft did some anticompetitive stuff back when Bill Gates was CEO, but it’s absurd to suggest that that still “informs what their future actions are likely to be”. A lot has changed since the 1990s.
Or, they’ve found a viable way to disguise donated long-range missiles so they can be used to strike back at Russia without implicating the country that provided them.
528 threads? Sounds perfect for my Chrome tabs.
You never wonder “why am I seeing this and how do I make it go away?”
I actually find myself wondering this a lot. Mastodon doesn’t allow people to add comments to things they’re reposting, so you’re left guessing as to why they elected to insert something from an unfamiliar account into your timeline.
Mastodon is also short on tools for discovering interesting new posts and accounts that aren’t already on your radar. In this regard I agree that it’s behind the times. Threads handles this much better, giving you a classic chronological feed of people you’re following plus an algorithmic feed that shows you things that are popular with people like you.
i think the stick makes YOU a better driver.
It doesn’t make me a better driver, it’s a continual distraction. I recently switched from a manual to an automatic car and I now have far more available headspace to pay attention to the world around me.
You’ve obviously never seen me fumbling through my changes and stalling on every corner.
I dunno who told you the Wii U was 720p-only. Mine ran at 1080p all day, every day - albeit some games used upscaling to reduce the graphical workload.
