  • And then there are people like me, who aren’t opposed to paying for access in theory, but will never be okay with having the videos I watch be tied to an account. It’s inconvenient and I don’t trust Google with my watch history, even when the option is turned off.

    Also I wouldn’t pay until: Youtube stops showing ads for hate groups; stops its manipulative recommendations and push towards right-leaning and extremist content; stops manipulating creators to all make the same kind of video in order to please the algorithm; removes hate content and extremist content; stops auto-flagging and removing fair-use content.

    The law bans platforms from sending notifications without permission from parents to minors between midnight and 6 a.m., and between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays from September through May, when children are typically in school.

    Wait, they hardcoded the school season and school hours into the law? What about schools that don’t follow those schedules?


  • The area near the 2020 collapse has been [vacated and gated off] but people still live in many of the other homes, usually because they can’t afford to leave.

    This is horrifying. The government (state or federal) has an ethical obligation to get these people into safe housing immediately.

    If it was me living there, the level of stress I would feel knowing that my house and family could be swallowed up at any point would ruin my life. Damn.

    I hope that everyone in that community can get out asap and be expediently and fairly compensated.









  • Exactly. Google had the existing userbase of – and free advertising to – every single person who visited google.com. All it took was a little banner saying “Get Chrome! It’s free and better!”

    That, combined with having billions of dollars to throw at making Chrome successful, of course they became the #1 browser.

    The Firefox team has never had the funding they really need to compete with Chrome. I see the AI and ad push to be a desperate attempt at securing enough funding to stay relevant. It’s really sad to see.

    As long as Firefox lets me turn off any unwanted ad or AI integration, I will keep using them, but damn I hope they secure some funding and get their shit together before they lose the majority of their userbase.
