Google chose to make MV3 neutered in comparison to MV2. They could've found a way to allow the capabilities required for runtime adblocking. They chose not to.
Alternatively, this is perhaps the only way for Microsoft to pressure hardware makers to stop shipping BIOS motherboards. They won't naturally go away unless there's an incentive.
Nah it just makes it confusing, especially to non native English speakers
I like Google products but the search engine really has become shit. I'm not sure there's anything they can do about it though.
I'm amenable to the idea of getting first dibs on an idea you came up with (software, hardware, fiction...), but it's been clearly abused to an insane degree by corporations who want to make a quick buck.
"Your body, your choice" has a limit once a super dangerous pathogen shows up and people start refusing the best tool we have to stop it for increasingly batshit reasons.
If you choose not to vaccinate, you're directly putting everyone else you interact with at risk. So there's a limit
I'd give you a pass if you said the NSA... but we clearly need something like the FBI. Who would stop child exploitation? Human trafficking?
As much as I'm skeptical about the unchecked power of corporations, I feel like Lemmy tech enthusiasts are completely hostile to the more mainstream kind of enthusiasm that actually like a well designed product.
Like, you can whine about the theoretical problems of a centralized service all you want, but if you're not syncing with OneDrive (or an alternative, though those are kinda worse) on your Windows computer you're literally sabotaging yourself. I could go on about other examples, but I'll limit myself.
I don't care if you think Linux is better. For the average person, Linux is incomprehensible. Now don't get me wrong, I like Linux too! I use Linux for my servers, and it's a great option to have. But the ideologues who push it to everyone are infuriatingly dumb, and serve only to push people out of the tech community.
As a whole, this site has too many ideologues, and not enough nuance. It's like the whole "Reddit atheist" phenomenon but worse: people here are unquestionably critical to an absurd degree, and refuse to accept that there may be alternative viewpoints on what they're saying.
And I'm not fond of capitalism either. I just think that the constant negativity is draining.
Pixel 6 and newer have 5 years of security updates
Bringing scarcity into an inherently post-scarcity environment (digital) is always going to be a stupid and evil idea.
Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn't know that was a thing.
