I do want to read articles that change my beliefs and I’m willing to listen to any take that goes against the wider narrative, but nothing that was said here really challenges anything being said on most tech news sites.

Yeah news sites might not always have full understanding of the semantics but the wider piont of Google’s Manifest V3 restricting uBlock Origin capabilties and not offering an adequate solution is still very valid.

Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it’s performance?

It’s been repeatedly proven that large companies get a impenetrable wall of armour based on fear of speaking out due to fear of retribution or breaking an important connection. Once that wall is broken it allows grievances to finally pass though.

I can’t honestly see how any other company can single-handedly stop Google if they go though with this. Google has the ability to strong arm this proposal by having Youtube and Google search dependent on Web Environment Integrity. There are enough alternative to web search but I can’t see how anyone can fight Google’s dominance in video hosting to stop them.

You would almost have to have every other major website intentionally break on Chrome to even the playing field, and if Google still don’t back down you are left with a divided internet.

This is the second post under “hot” on my home tab BTW.

Ignorance goes both sides though, free and open source has dark aspects to it. The assumed security has no one to hold to account, and for profit companies has real leverage over projects and can hurt the ecosystem if given a chance. Add to that how lax the wider community attitude is to breaking licences and you have a ecosystem that can fail if all you do is assume good faith.

Remember to keep an open mind to everything and not just the things in life you have a particular issue with. Everyone is ignorant to something.

I always love it when Linux users recommend going back to Windows as a option. It takes real maturity to admit that everything is a viable option, and sometimes especially in a professional workplace that Windows and MacOS should both be considered if Linux is limiting your workflow.

People don’t and that’s OK because there’s enough people who does care to fragment off and start something new. That’s the whole point of the internet. The reason Reddit got as big as it did was because it had a wide enough net to attract everyone, now they are deciding to focus on just the ones that matter to them and that allows an alternative to exist.

Whats your price?
