hmmm …a balanced well thought reply…Thank you. I’d tend to agree with this analysis.

Yarrr lad.

You aren’t very bright are you.

So lets say they paywall the linux forum you’re interested in … What is your next step ?

With this from chrome, and Reddit going paywalls do you think we’ll see another spike in Lemmy traffic…i think it’s a safe bet.

I fucking hate reddit so DAMN much !

You have a choice A. Be a Chad who Dumps Chrome and chromium based browsers . or B. remain a whiny loser who has to deal with ads.

I only seem to barely notice the difference… At first i couldnt understand what everyone was talking about…but yeah its a small delay over what it used to be. Also it seems any bookmarked vids will no longer autoplay… you have to click play… is that a thing anyone else has to do ?

I tried Edge and it seemed only a small bit faster to me, but it did autoplay. Are there any other anomalous strange effects google has done to youtube that i might have missed ?

I never had issues with adds on FF and ublock … still don’t.

Best one i ever saw was the Animated A Christmas Carol… With Jim Carey as Scrooge. They did some amazing 3d depth shots in that one.

All these worlds are yours except Ganymede…is that correct Dave ?

Uninstall all google apps and CHROME… get Firefox…done. How many times will i have to say it before people start to understand.

Right…

Just more rich bastards robbing the poor to build monuments unto their own self-perceived righteousness and greatness.

Just seeing who responds with the most passionate cat rant and blocking them… you win !

cats are assholes, thats not up for debate.

It’s shit like this that really just makes me want to start the Butlerian Jihad for real.

Came here to say this, but i see you have it covered. I get sooooo tired of the “coulds” ,“woulds” and “shoulds” we see in article titles like this. What is more likely to happen… a promising new technology that’s cheap to produce, maintain, and reduces prices for the delivery of the worlds most needed resource is universally embraced by ALL…or Companies like Nestle, who’s massive water profiteering is threatened by this innovation, either buys out all the patents and sweeps it under the rug , and/or launches a campaign of legal litigation against it’s developers so that it never gets funded nor ever gets to the practical production stage.

I know what kind of world we’re living in… and it’s not one that favors the hope and needs of the many over the greed of the few.

fuck nestle
