  • Yeah it’s even more ridiculous when you apply this logic to sponsored segments.

    It’s an ad, I skip it by seeking in the video, therefore it is piracy?

    Also, people get arrested and fined for piracy where I live (because it is, well, illegal), so people blocking ads should go to prison?
    When the face of LMG talks about things like this in a main channel video they should look into the consequences of the opinion they present.

    Excuse the language, but what the actual fuck was Linus thinking?

    Like what is the actual end goal here?
    Linus says people should be punished for blocking ads, and the best way he thinks it should be executed is by law enforcement? Last time I checked that is how illegal actions are usually handled.



  • Yeah what the hell is going on?

    There was a lawsuit and in Windows 7 Microsoft was forced to offer a browser choice program that allowed users to pick different ones.

    Nowadays everyone just forgot about that?
    Browser lock in is worse than it ever has been since the 2000s and is approaching levels of monopolistic behavior we haven’t seen since the internet explorer vs Netscape debacle, if not already worse than that.

    Every ecosystem forces their own browser and the only way to circumvent it is with hacks.

    To access certain one drive elements on android in the browser with Firefox, it tells you to open the page in chrome to proceed. If you do that, the Microsoft login page then asks specifically for using edge to sign in.

    It’s insane that nobody cares. I went back to Firefox as soon as manifest v3 was announced, but nobody cares.

    It’s alarming and once people realize what happened it’s too late.
