I saw a post on tumblr talking about situational mutism and I reblogged it with a long ass breakdown of my general experience and knowledge, and I wanted to put it here too cause I feel like it's important.

no offense to the people making cute little widgets on cohost and i do believe them that they've all been pretty careful to prevent themselves from accidentally building ip scrapers and such. however the fact that ethics are the only thing that appears to be preventing someone from doing that Intentionally on their own funnie little poasts is uh, Concerning

seems like cohost devs are on fast track of discovery of why the social media sites don't allow things they decided to allow (hotlinking of external resources)

this is actually easily fixable by needing to opt-in into viewing an external resource but the fact it wasn't taken into consideration is... concerning

Seeing people argue that Chrome is Good™️ because of "features" in the engine that Google imposed on everybody through its hold on the Web is going to turn me into the fucking joker.
WebUSB exists because Google wants to sell Chromebooks, not because it's a good idea.

Google would love to make the Web Chrome-only if it could. They almost did it with the Web Integrity bullshit and they'll try again and again until they succeed and it feels like they will in the long-run and it fucking sucks.

Call me a boomer but I swear I see that shit from clearly people who aren't old enough to have lived through the 2000s when Firefox/proto-Chrome competed on merit instead of what we have now, which is Google making the rules and everybody having to follow them.
