@tante honestly the best hope i currently have is that google keeps funding them just to point their finger and say something like SEE THERE IS NOT JUST CHROMIUM

The whole AI thing has me endlessly confused. Half the market is crashing because investors didn't see any signs of payoff in the quarterly earnings report, but I'm so lost as to what exactly they were expecting to see. Did they just not pay any attention at all to what these companies were actually doing with AI?
Were they expecting exponential Instagram usage growth as a result of Meta making it so you can have a conversation with the search bar? Or maybe everyone was going to buy 10 new Windows licenses in celebration of Microsoft announcing they want to install AI powered spyware on everyone's computer? Or was Google going to sell more ads by replacing all the search results with reddit shitposts. Either I'm missing something or everyone's 2 remaining brain cells are just really busy fighting to death for 3rd place.

Huch, ich war gerade im Internet ohne Werbeblocker unterwegs. Kommt so schnell nicht wieder vor.
Da wird die Werbung bei @t3n durch Textblöcke unterbrochen.
Dann halt lieber wieder mit Blocker und ohne Werbung 🤷♀️

To do this, open the Windows Settings and go to Personalization > Taskbar. Click on “Taskbar behavior,” scroll down, and check the box next to “Show seconds in taskbar clock (consumes more power).”

Just realised that on Mastodon, boosting *is* the algorithm.
There's no code trying to cleverly show me stuff it reckons I'd be into, based on what my contacts are into, instead my contacts are saying "I like this, I bet my contacts would like it too" and that is way smarter than any algorithm.
Thank you, boosters!

Yes, but it is also what Windows users were taught to do for decades. Need to join a video conference for work a school? Download this exe. Have a problem with your graphics card? Search, download, install. Previously trustworthy sites started hosting questionable software. Regular people can't keep up with this shit.
And the Microsoft store (or the Apple app store) were never really a thing on the desktop. Users and publisher never fully made the switch

@lapt0r @wdormann @GossiTheDog @eljefedsecurit true. Google is not the right partner, I guess 🙂
