I’m really curious if they can make video injection of ads cost effective.

It feels like mangeling video streams into one, potentially re-encoding the video as they go… sounds expensive

I’ve had… thoughts on this lately.

I do social dance (wcs) as one of my several hobbies. And I kind of compare ot to church now. We go once a week, we do the thing, and we have a community around it, with community leaders.

The world might be slowly leaving religion behind, but I have to wonder of we’re losing something else in the process.

(Find some WCA classes in your area, we’re all weird as fuck, it’s a often a community of introverts with a niche interest in common, and set rules of interaction (would you like a dance?))

Swiggity swooty climate change is coming for that booty

While the engineers could have said that, equally Elon could have asked what the problems/downsides were to doing it faster.

Is it the ego feeding or keeping Twitter (“X”) front of mind? Kind of like 2010 lady gaga constantly one upping herself to stay in the news (meat dress anyone?)

Firefox currently enjoys protection from being “relatively niche” in the browser market (aka not Chromium based trash).

But if I had to place a bet on which browser would put effort in to protecting your privacy, including which extensions are installed, my bet would be on Firefox over Chrome.

This only applies if a username is a email

And if it is then what happens when people actually email someone? Autocorrect during login?

It’s stories like this that don’t surprise me as much as make me ask: How the fuck do you store and process this much data to get anything useful out of it.

Use Firefox.

Google can only act like this because of their market share.

Oh great. Another place on the web where my usage of it will simply feed some new language model.

I think it’s going to have a slow death.

Right now it’s going through it’s “Lady gaga phase”, doing more and more ridiculous things. Maybe this is the equivalent of a meat dress.

Eventually people will grow tired of the drama. Either it is a good product at the end (Lady Gaga is a pretty bloody great singer) or it’ll be dead.

By paying Mozilla a big fat check to set the default search engine to Bing.

So your answer to “Google is evil use another browser” is… if we all swap to Firefox google will kill it?

Google is keeping Firefox alive because 5% of all web users using Google search by default is pretty useful for them.

If you want to avoid that, simply use firefox and set your search to DuckDuckGo/Bing. If Google drops them, Microsoft have already shown a want to step up into that position.

Only another 100 years or so until maybe temperatures come back down.

Maybe.
