There are few values to Chrome. It is simply a vehicle which Google has driven to enshit-ify the internet even further.

I'm 100% for this, as long as it works. The fact that shitty companies like Spokeo (or whoever) require you to register with them just so you can hope they delete the information they've collected on you is ridiculous. I work in a job field (healthcare) where some privacy is important because people really are batshit crazy and absolutely will stalk others. Having to try to figure out which website is selling my home address and personal contact information today shouldn't be this damn difficult, but here we are.

Microsoft had their change with Skype to integrate it into the Xbox Live world, add a camera, and absolutely dominate the space that we thought that FaceTime was going to rule.

They seemed *so close* but never quite got across the finish line with Skype. Now with so many other apps making data calls, it seems almost pointless., which is sad.

> Sure, but even if that's true, that just means using Android is cutting out toxic people. Win/win.

It's true, but it's the opposite. The Android users tend to be *the* most toxic ones out there.

Obnoxious Android zealots are like the old Windows NT snobs.

Careful when doing that, anybody stupid enough to still be using SORBS to the rules that the SORBS assholes have decided are best for the internet will ding you for that. Low TTL = spammer to them.

SORBS should have fucked off and died ages ago but it's still around, unfortunately.

The bigger problem are the 600lb gorillas like Google and Gmail, who *might* bless you with Inbox deliverability to gmail customers.

Google has scooped up an absolutely massive amount of email traffic over the years, unfortunately.

At least with providers like MSN/Hotmail/etc you can request an IP whitelist. Google has no such friendliness and you just have to send emails to gmail friends and have them go in and mark "not spam." It's frustrating and was a huge huge problem for me when I had to move to a new IP.

I remember that useless map, and the fact that for some bizarre reason it didn't list locally owner grocers or mini-marts. It showed vast swaths of north Texas as a "food desert" despite there being like 7 grocery stores in Denton alone.

This map seems equally brain dead.

This should end well for someone. somehow. maybe.

at this point, I think it should be perfectly legal to find these kids and execute them in public. They've caused untold damage to hospitals and businesses already.

Find them. Destroy them once and for all. Yes, I think a huge public spectacle needs to be made of them.

I would not be at all surprised to see them pull the plug on it within a year and try to rebrand it as YouTube Arcade or something. None of us can trust that a Google property is going to be around much, aside from what scores them advertising revenue.

They're going after Pornhub/mindgeek using the newfound interest in "stop sex trafficking/save the children" because their main goal is to get Section 230 revoked.

That's their goal. This is just a convenient scapegoat.

Thing is, the ones that are there are quickly finding out that there is a LOT of competition, the stakes are way higher, people are wanting more product for the price, and due to the sheer volume of users that they aren't making anywhere near the money that they thought they were going to make.

OnlyFans "creators" have now resorted to spamming reddit like crazy, and setting up fake profiles on legit dating sites (like POF, Tinder, Match, Okcupid) to try to lure in followers. It's complete garbage. They're even spamming on Grindr & Fetlife.

I know the current sentiment among teen edge lords is "ACAB" but this crosses way way beyond the line of ethical hacking and goes straight to gutter trash. Really disappointed to see anyone that's happy about this. A lot of completely unrelated data that potentially exposes abuse and crime victims. This is no better than the garbage dumped by Manning & Reality Winner.

That sounds like it's instantly more expensive than.. well, pretty much everything. I'm surprised they went with such a low limit.

They need to, and it's up to us to continue to spread the valid science instead of the utter trash and lies that the anti-vaccine lunatics continue to share.

We *have* to keep fighting them.

I am so sick of the anti-vaccine losers. That trash called "Plandemic" is going to pop up again when the full length version comes out. Problem is, that the antis now think there's some deep state agenda when a private services removes objectionable and potentially harmful content.

Youtube has a lot of stuff that they still need to remove, though. Start by getting rid of the 9/11 truther garbage, and any trace of Infowars.
