I realized mozilla is cooked a few months ago when i read this issue where it has taken them TWELVE YEARS to implement a date picker

Exactly, most of my irl friends pirate shows/tv but they all have spotify. Im considered “extra” by them for pirating music

So instead of multiple providers tracking people all the time there will be a single company doing it, but it’s okay because I should trust them for what reason? Why wouldn’t tracking companies just use their own tracking on top of this new technology?

Patents shouldn’t be valid for more than 5 years imo. If you can’t make a large enough profit from your idea in 5 years maybe it wasn’t that good or original.

I’m not saying they should switch to v8. Ideally they’d make their own performant JS engine but I doubt they actually have the resources for that. I’m just wishing for a browser that’s actually good on all fronts even though it realistically cannot exist

This is awesome, now if they switch to a JS engine that isn’t slow and buggy on my laptop I have 0 reasons to use anything chromium-based anymore

This is huge but let’s see what happens when this inevitably reaches the supreme court

Please fix normal search first i dont need this

NOBODY PIRATES MUSIC ANYMORE, the idea that youtube to mp3 websites actually cause these companies to lose a measurable amount of money is ridiculous at best

Removed by mod

Pixels are arguably the most private android since you only get Google tracking. With other androids you get Google tracking on top of all the other tracking

I think an important step to making Lemmy more popular is making sure it actually shows up in search engines. I don’t know enough to say how though

Tutanota is kind of a protonmail competitor but it’s been years since I looked into it idk how they’re doing

Wow excuse my zoomer language but… Who asked?

Kagi pays Google for search results to supplement its index so it will keep reddit results as long as Google lets them

I’ve never bothered to set up an emulator on my phone but it’s a great idea, any recommendations in particular?

Damn you reminded me to check my gmail and there was a domain renewal reminder, thanks!

TIL about windows kiosk mode!

I can understand it from the perspective of the developers who need to implement all this crazy tracking/advertising/graphics functionality, but imo a vending machine should only do three things:

1. Let me see what is available (preferably using glass)
2. Accept payment
3. Give me what I paid for

Vending machines have done this for decades without requiring an operating system. Keep it simple!

Yes of course Linux is a fully fledged OS, my point was a vending machine should not need any OS, my bad if I didnt make that clear

Makes sense, but a vending machine shouldn’t need a fully fledged OS in the first place imo
