I believe it to a degree, but I think it's also a problem because we can't ever change their minds if we're not talking with each other. If they're stuck in a hate-filled bubble, they're only going to enrage each other further and accept each other's biases.

It's a different story if they're attacking other people based on their own beliefs, then they should absolutely be banned from the platform. And if enough of that happens, then at that point de-federation should be the option (which I guess is probably the stage we're at)

Everyone should have a voice to be honest. Shutting them out completely won't help, it just creates a bubble. As a human species it's important for us to communicate.

But yeah there's definitely more of them here unfortunately.

I'd never correct you but fuck I hate it

Why is it that when companies start making good money, increasing that cash flow becomes the sole focus of all daily operations and and values fall to the wayside?

Ironically, their sponsors will now probably pull out and cause the company to collapse.

Thank you! I'll keep these in mind

NewPipe, and YouTube Revanced are great apps you can use on mobile. They aren't attached to any Google account so you can just use them and skip adds all day without getting any account theoretically banned.

For those who continue to use YouTube and adblockers on PC, simply just make a new throwaway Google account. In the case that they aren't actually bluffing (they are) then at least your temp account will be banned.

Or in my case, my Thinkpad T490 is absolutely brain dead and shuts itself down / crashes during idle sleep mode every time.

Similarly, my Yoga C930 battery drained in 2 days while powered off and fingerprint scanner stops working after waking from sleep.

Lenovo used to be good..

My foot's already half way out the door. I have all my plugins and password manager ready to go when I end up making the switch.

The only annoying thing right now is, there's no tab groups on Firefox, and Google sites like Gmail and calendar have a weird aesthetic behavior where scroll bars show up where they shouldn't be. It's like nails on a chalkboard but for my eyes.

I also really do like using GPay in Chrome on Mobile when it's available but I'll have to forego that, or just use it when I need to.

Sidenote, Google knows it's coming too cuz they made their password manager much better, and released passkey support. The timing is too perfect, they want another reason for people to stay. Good thing I have my own password manager!

I dare them to fuck up Chrome. It'll be the easiest switch of my life.

I thought about that already. It's absolutely intentional, because you already know that they'll keep using those apps, and even if they were illegal, they would keep using them and just get another fine, which is obviously not something that bothers them. It's to prevent normal people from having any privacy.

Google is evil for sure, but I haven’t read anything about their factory workers leaping from buildings to escape life.

Try again. This is from 1 month ago.

They're probably creating artificial scarcity to increase the prices elsewhere on account of "supply and demand". There's a special place in hell for them.

This app is gorgeous with Android Material You!

Funnily enough I saw this exact images on multiple places outside of Lemmy, including on Twitter.

Oh huh, it is a P7P lol

Accurate

Not to mention their proprietary built in apps aren't that great. As a Windows user, doing anything to try and interact with any of the content on an iPhone (sync contacts, download photos, etc) was a huge pain in the ass. The amount of holes I had to jump through was so bad it must be intentional.

There's a clear bias to only give good support to people who have macOS, my main PC is on Windows, and I don't ever plan on buying a Mac. So it just means I will never own an iPhone again. They kind of dug themselves into a hole of this crappy walled garden and never thought to think it could also bite them in the ass.

Honestly, I see it as a win.

The people that did this didn't really act out in a coordinated attack. They were just kind of playing around, redirecting to lemonparty, changing page elements.

It could have been a lot worse. The site could have been redirecting to malicious websites, downloading trojans, doing a lot of bad things. Instead, we got direct attention to the security vulnerabilities in question, and they're being worked on and patched out relatively quickly. Helps that a lot of those on these communities are focused in programming and cybersecurity.

Yeah
