Wow. Took them fucking long enough. They’ve been doing that with LGBTQ+ videos for ages already, so it’s not like the tech hasn’t been there. For shame.
Software developer by day, insomniac by night.

Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.
Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.
Is your kid in therapy? Because going by what you’ve said, your partner has been sick and depressed for 40% of your kid’s entire lifespan. That’s bound to take a toll.
Frame it as part of the treatment for MS.
Solid idea. Though, I feel like this is phrased a bit strangely, because it makes it sound like this is duplicitous. A part of the treatment for any chronic condition would be how to cope with and emotionally process living with it. This is part of the treatment for MS.
This particular tumblr blog’s entire thing is taking poorly cropped tumblr screenshots from Pinterest and reposting them on tumblr.
Yeah I can see that. My work computer is a laptop, with an ultra wide external monitor. I never use the browser on the laptop screen because with vertical tabs it just takes up too much space. Otherwise vertical tabs give you an easy overview of what you have open if you like me tend to leave a tonne of tabs up.
That is only mostly true now. There is an about:config setting you can turn on in FF 129 (released this week)
That’s also the one with the intrusive, facebook-endorsed, opt-in advertising system, isn’t it? I use LibreWolf, because Mozilla doesn’t truly care for privacy.
I have an ultrawide. Vertical works a lot better on ultrawide than on more narrow screen ratios. Though ultimately it’s just a matter of preference. I personally dislike dark mode.
Oh, but it can still get worse!
Given that they are focusing on initiatives like intrusive adverts and machine learning BS, I’m okay with them cutting that kind of nonsense off; Firefox still doesn’t have a native vertical tab bar.
Well yeah, they superceded it in 2015 and eradicated it in 2018. They were doing evil before then too, of course, but I guess at that point they felt like they could just drop the mask.
This isn’t a foregone conclusion, just a number of things that are increasingly likely:
The system incentivises it, though. I don’t like dealing in absolutes, so I am inclined to agree with you on that basis alone. However, enshittification is not a bug, it’s a feature.
Google hasn’t just monopolised the ad industry, but is holding the internet itself in its clutches.
They own and control one of the biggest operating systems on the market, giving them control over peoples devices. They own and control the biggest browser engine on the market, giving them control over the internet standards; they can implement whatever the heck they want and essentially force it as a web standard. They own and control the biggest search engine on the market, giving them control over what information people can see and access.
For a lot of people, Google controls practically the entire internet access chain, and that should terrify anyone who cares about a free and open internet.
Aye. If changing a bulb is that involved the car isn’t that good.
I mean, inpainting isn’t particularly hard to make use of. There are also tools specifically for the purpose of generating “deepfake” nudes. The barrier for entry is much, much lower.
Good ideas marred by a flawed execution.
Reading stuff like this makes me sick. All is not well with the world.
Advocates: take survivors of abuse seriously.
Society: Let’s have computers tell us what to do!
I mean I guess the risk of repeated murder-suicide is pretty low…
Yes, it is shitty. But if you at all care about privacy you should be monitoring your software anyway.
That’s only the case because privacy isn’t the default, and it should be. Privacy is something that’s been taken from us. I think people that don’t want to learn or care much about privacy are still entitled to it.
It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.
