A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nobody's going to use it when 90% of the web blocks everything except genuine Chrome on genuine Windows.

I have hope that the FTC will antitrust those cunts. At least I hope so. I'm not gonna hold my breath though.

Microsoft put Netscape and Stac out of business and got away scot-free, so yeah, not holding my breath either.

Good news there huge backlash to this so hopefully its stopped.

There isn’t much backlash at all. You just live in a Lemmy and github echo chamber.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Its not been pushed hard yet.

It might still happen. Apple's equivalent feature already rolled out in Safari.

There would be huge backlash to that but do we know when Google plans to fully push this?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm worried there won't be much of a backlash.

People as a whole don't seem to care very much about the bad behavior of these big tech companies.

I hope I'm wrong.

Tho there already backlash but we will see happens.

From technically savvy people, I imagine.

The average user won't understand the implications or won't care enough to avoid it. That alone would lead to a HUGE amount of adoption if/when they deploy this.

Hopefully its never deployed.
