Any store installing that crap (it fortunately hasn’t arrived in my country yet) will lose me as a customer. I know it won’t hurt them, but I’m not dealing with shit like that.

The category filters of electronics distributors used to be good (some still are). But then they started letting business people categorize the products, and now finding stuff without having a part number is basically a lottery.
That looks easy enough even for me to play it
And now you’ve got carmakers looking to charge by the month for features.
When I reach the point at which I am forced to buy a car like that, I’d just find out from where the feature gets controlled and hack in my own controller and a good 'ol switch.
I’m honestly astonished that Google hasn’t pulled the plug on Mozilla yet. After all, their missions completely and utterly oppose each other and Mozilla probably causes the biggest losses to Google.
If your prediction comes true, which isn’t unlikely, Firefox forks that already exist would probably take its spot. Or privacy friendly Chromium based browsers. I know, the latter sounds like an oxymoron, but they exist and one of them I would be hated on for naming has actually been proven to have better out of the box privacy than Firefox.
If you use a good 2FA app instead of Google Authenticator (yes, they can be used interchangably) you can use it on desktop and copy the OTPs to your clipboard. I personally use Authy, but others compatible with GA exist as well.
Also, 2FA is optional almost everywhere, but if you decide to not enable it, don’t act surprised if your accounts get taken over. These days a password just isn’t enough.
Security and convenience are just mutually exclusive and I don’t expect mankind to ever find a way around that fact.
Probably the natural law that every online community turns incredibly toxic eventually once enough people join it.
That’s the most significant thing keeping me from relocating to America. I prefer not having to choose between physical and financial death.
It’s probably some kind of weird reward effect in our brains. Like “Yay, whatever I just ate attacked me and I survived! Gimme some more of that!”
I’ve gone to use the internet basically only on real computers and throwing a whole arsenal of annoyance and tracking blocking measures at it. The ‘vanilla’ internet experience has just become utterly unusable. If I use it on mobile, I do so in Brave as it is the only iOS browser that lets you use uBO filter lists and is able to fool websites into thinking you’re on desktop.
To be fair, he may actually be a democrat, just a historic one. Their ‘roles’ were kind of reversed compared to today until somewhere in the last century if my outside knowledge of US political history serves right.
Did you know that X Corp. has a website for their hamster business as well?
So I guess it’s only a matter of time until Facebook renames itself to 𝕁.
(It’s the same offset in the alphabet)
The only downside is that even the most basic configurations are well over my price range. For anything small enough to be considered portable by me, they’re even at least double my laptop budget. But I guess quality comes at it’s (seemingly exponential) price.
Let me guess, suicide by 17 gunshots to the back of his head? In his car in a hotel parking lot?
