    Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn't know that was a thing.

    Gen Z boys and men more likely than baby boomers to believe feminism harmful, says poll
  • CharAhNalaar CharAhNalaar 9mo ago 100%

    That's not anti-echohamber. That's the algorithm reinforcing the anti-trans propaganda that drives clicks and views on most platforms. Controversy is sensational, and anger provokes responses.

    Gen Z boys and men more likely than baby boomers to believe feminism harmful, says poll
  • CharAhNalaar CharAhNalaar 9mo ago 50%

    Replace "woman" with "Black" in this rant and it sounds just like someone trying to make reparations look bad by strawmanning its supporters.

    I agree that neoliberal capitalism has (largely successfully) used feminism as a way to distract from society's real problems. But this ain't it.

    They're not user unfriendly changes if 95% of users just don't care.

    Why are people up voting this? This is such ridiculous FUD that I can't take it seriously.

  • Google confirms they will disable uBlock Origin in Chrome in 2024
  • CharAhNalaar CharAhNalaar 11mo ago 92%

    Google chose to make MV3 neutered in comparison to MV2. They could've found a way to allow the capabilities required for runtime adblocking. They chose not to.

  • Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year
  • CharAhNalaar CharAhNalaar 11mo ago 100%

    Because who is going to operate the servers?

    Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.

    And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

    Alternatively, this is perhaps the only way for Microsoft to pressure hardware makers to stop shipping BIOS motherboards. They won't naturally go away unless there's an incentive.

    That's the point. To many, they didn't matter and still don't. Which is abhorrent.

    Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.

    Most of the big ones. Gmail, calendar, maps, YouTube, YouTube music, photos, tasks, pixel...

    It's more interesting to say the ones I don't use tbh: Drive and Chrome.

    But to do that, the algorithm has to know the right answer in the first place. Meaning a human has to tell it what's right and what's wrong.

    Have you seen Google's generative AI tests? They're trying to do exactly that and it's mostly useless.

    I like Google products but the search engine really has become shit. I'm not sure there's anything they can do about it though.
