Also, didn’t opera sell to some spyware company? I’m team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.

DeArrow shows the title as something like “why you can’t trust AI with facts”

Didn’t readarr get discontinued a few weeks ago?

For ads at least the argument can be made that the content you consume is not yours and as such you should not be allowed to choose how it is monetized.

Google unilaterally deciding this is like Firefox or chrome adding ads to websites. Which is like no… They’re the medium through which content is consumed.

The EU has something in the works with zero knowledge proofs. Which would be a good way to do this.

I still don’t agree on the fact that this needs doing at all… But at least it’s not as bad as the UK’s half-baked nonsense

Especially dangerous because the script can change. So this stays up, gets indexed and put in the search results for people looking to do this… And then poof suddenly the script is an info stealer.

Might not even be the original poster doing this, maybe their account gets hacked and the link gets every so slightly edited.

Just bad practice.

Though I must admit I do use proxmox helper scripts… But at least that’s a somewhat trusted repo.

The sound isolation could be fixed by using a separate audio channel for Spotify, but no way it’s gonna be worth the effort as it’s not gonna be as good quality and if you’re considering doing all that you would be better off sailing the high seas (on one of the big music trackers)

They’d risk getting blocked in the UK if they did that. Sure users could get around that using a VPN, but not everyone uses one so in general that’d reduce their userbase and as such their revenue. Shareholders sure won’t like that either.

I hate reddit as much as the other guy, but I’m not sure what other course of action they have if they are by law required to do this.

What this new law means for fediverse users and servers hosted in the UK is still to be found out.

The next time they try it’s gonna be against terrorism. For sure that time it’ll pass.

To be fair, not allowing the user to remove an indicator that something could be tracking them is probably not the worst idea. Otherwise it’d be too easy for someone to install an app like that and hide it.

In my language SOA is STD. Which made me pause for a sec too on the title.

Hey, I’m sure it pays well for them

Awww yeah

I mean the criticism against Cloudflare is 100% valid. Having a single service be the single point of failure for half the web, not to mention that they can read the contents of every single request they proxy, is a terrible joke.

But the service they provide is real. A small business/service just doesn’t have the capabilities to handle a DDoS attack. And every minute their site is down means lost customers/users.
