  • Lets hope they stay true to their words and do not deprecate Manifest V2 later, since firefox is an open source project, theoretically anyone could fork it and build this on their own, but I heard compile-times for firefox is long. And as complexity of the web increases maintaining your own forked web browser will become harder and harder. That is why projects like Ladybird are important imo.

    As more and more webpages do not support firefox anymore (Notion did not work for me today) the web will become unusable in a dystopian Manifest-V3 only future.



  • Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.

    What will they do next?

    • More advertisement.
    • More features that require an always on internet connection?
    • Forced restart for software updates

    This is why I expect Linux share to slowly increase until the old computers die and you will not be allowed to choose to boot another operating system besides Windows on your Microsoft-Copilot+ PC that would be your only option.

















  • I start to realize how synchronized big tech is acting currently

    • google experiments with blocking youtube users with ad blockers
    • twitter blocks unregistered users, heavily advertises its app
    • reddit blocks api and 3rd party access, heavily advertises its app
    • microsoft creates windows 11 lets windows 10 users with old hardware insecure

    Is this because they all act in unison? Or is it the general ecnomic situation (low prime rates by the central bank) of the American tech giants that leads them to “coincidentally” making the same decisions? My suspicion is its the latter combined with the power they accumulated over the past decade.
