If the only reason google doesn’t have a monopoly on web standards is because firefox “exists”, then I think Google does in fact have a monopoly on web standards. Other browsers exists besides chrome and firefox ones, some like Konqeror even work pretty well for how old they are, but I think firefox is eventually going to see the same fate as netscape slowly becoming more and more irrelevant, and unlike netscape they can’t exactly sue Google for anti-trust (at least not without losing 90% of their funding)


LibreWolf is better, includes ublock and no tracking by default.

There are good chromium based browsers too, I’m not aware of Vivaldi having any major controversies or shady business decisions in recent years, it has a built in adblock thats independent of chromium’s upstream.

If you disqualify every browser due to its upstream having issues then you should probably revert to using CURL or something convoluted like what richard stallman does. Every browser that exists today is a fork of some browser that previously was good but started to suck.


I have a google TV device and I didn’t even know they had a free option FROM google, but Pluto and tubi already have ads so not really surprising google would too… I just use jellyfin and smart tube, haven’t seen ads in ages.


So like… Public messages they posed on public servers are being published…and a company other than discord is profiting from this? Oh no! I better be careful what I post on discord… Next thing you know they’ll start selling Lemmy data too.


Part of me hopes they do this kinda stuff more, make the platform uninviting for developers so they can move to something better… Like IRC


According to the researchers, “A charger can be manipulated to control voice assistants via inaudible voice commands, damage devices being charged through overcharging or overheating, and bypass Qi-standard specified foreign-object-detection mechanism to damage valuable items exposed to intense magnetic fields.”

So if someone swaps your Qi charger for a malicious one they can ruin your phone (or some other device it’s supposed to detect as not a phone ?) and maybe execute arbitrary voice commands… 🥱


Does this apply to Linux/proton? I have dlss working on cyberpunk and only a 3060ti, am I just using dlss2?
