Yup. When net neutrality died it let a few corporate overlords rise up and kill off much of the old free web. What much of us grew up on was a much fewer, wilder web. One you could still dream on and where you could still think damned near any new thing could come from anyone. Now, you pretty much have to already have $.

Honestly it's one of my personal reasons for disliking AI. I (let alone most of our kids) don't want or need a reason to think less, let alone own less of my content. FFS.
Yeah. Fuck restaurants that expect me to scan a damned qr code for a fucking menu.
Thank the gods for Firefox.
That's where I'm at with reddit, and where I've been with Facebook for years. Though, interestingly, Slim Social for Facebook has gotten around this quite well for Facebook, for everything except for messages until very recently, where you have to ask for the desktop site. Maybe someone can come up with something similar for reddit...
Yeah, anti-cheat/multiplayer is the biggest hurdle to go for linux gaming, as well as VR. They're the two things that continue to hold my kids in Windows, for now. I hope that someday they're remedied and I can move them into Linux systems for gaming, but for now, it's just not realistic, sadly.
Same. Containers are what Firefox has and chrome just doesn't.
Yeah. I'm on vacation anyways, with me minimal cell coverage, so it's been pretty easy, but I've popped in a handful of times. but, there's no way I'm installing their client. None. I don't have Facebook, or Twitters clients, I'll be damned if Im installing reddit.
Eh, I don't care what you eat. But I find very offensive, naive, and just plain wrong the idea that it's impossible to sustainably raise animals for meat, eggs, dairy, etc as many vegans will try to insist.
Does it cost more? Yes. Can we raise as many as we do today using conventional farming techniques? No. Will/should we all cut back on our meat, dairy, etc? Yes. But, then again being more mindful of what we all eat is going to be required regardless, if we're going to manage to feed everyone.
The Colorado river is dying. It hasn't reached the sea in decades. This was inevitable.
Maybe for some things. But there still is, and always will be, something to be said for experiencing live music. Concerts where real people are playing and making music live, is very different than sitting at home and listening to it on your speakers.
AI can make conglomerations of anything and everything. But, I can't go see AI play a guitar, bass, drums, violin, cello, etc live. That will always require people. Hence the 'live' part.
Firefox on mobile has piles of apps generally now. No need for a list or nightly or beta.
