Just disable everything on your phone right now down to the essentials. If you’re on Android, there’s a lot of really minimalist 3rd party launchers like Niagara launcher that can improve the minimalist experience as well. You’d basically mimic the light phone at that point while still having every upside and be able to selectively enable and disable what you’re asking.

You don’t need to pay for an overpriced phone to take your choices away. You can find the will power to just disable it on your current phone.

I don’t get this meme template

You say that but they literally went to court against a journalist claiming they “hacked” them because the journalist simply referenced their html code that is visible from pressing F12.

Luckily I think the case was dismissed but it was really close and was extremely problematic to begin with.

Seems like the courts haven’t caught on, but most people migrated to yt-dlp.

I do wish they rebranded the project to get rid of YouTube from the name. It can do so much more and is insanely powerful. It should be advertised as a generic video extractor. Don’t know if it’d help legal issues though, despite them not actually breaking laws.

That’s a load of shit lol, also there’s absolutely nothing good that can be drawn from these conclusions. All this can achieve is political pundits some ammo to cry about on their shows.

What is that sketchy ass site lol. Did you just link malware? Also it reads like an alien wrote that, none of that made sense. What a weird site.

As much as I wish this were true, this is in a bubble where Windows isn’t already preinstalled on everything.

I use Fedora and I don’t understand this

I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it’s clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It’s fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.

snap would be better then installing from manual archives, but it’s comparisons are actually to your distro’s package manager and flatpak.

Cool but the proper solution is that they shouldn’t have access to this data at all. It should be either stored locally, or encrypted on their servers. Companies not being able to access their consumer data should be the default.

Why would you need to host this? Why not just have a client that does backups?

I tried and couldn’t find it on my system. I run Linux btw.

The free market is going very well here

Also all the ad blocking extensions would have to continue maintaining forks of their own projects for increasingly obscure manifest V2 Chromium browsers.

yeah but it’s GAMER so it’s okay

looks like the bigger issue is hvec itself. Also the support is extremely spotty with all the other browsers as well, with it still only having limited support in Chrome as well depending on your hardware.

Or just use av1 instead. I’ve literally never run into this as an issue before lol.

They’re already a fork of Chromium… Also it doesn’t matter much since they use the Google extension store, which disabled uBO.

You could probably install and handle a manifest V2 extension by installing the xpi file manually. But as a developer, the users who would actually do this is a small fraction of the previous user base.

So how do you justify your limited manpower to be spent on that increasingly obscure user base? It may as well be removed anyways at that point.

Eh, I’d still take Chromium anything over the dumpster fire that is Safari

What you’re talking about is webcompat and is a very complicated issue. Also I’ve talked to some Mozilla devs who gave me multiple examples of Chromium rendering something wrong, and they’d have to intentionally break Firefox to render it incorrectly too, just so the end user would get a more consistent experience. Of course these issues happen more and more when things are only tested for one browser.

Wow that art is really beautiful! Love the color and art style.
