explodicle@local106.comto Technology@beehaw.org•Firefox plan to show ads and shopping in the near future in the browser as an opt-outEnglish6·1 year agoHey what if instead of free adblock, we charged people for it? Also I’ll use a little bit of the profits to try banning gay marriage.
explodicle@local106.comto Technology@beehaw.org•Firefox plan to show ads and shopping in the near future in the browser as an opt-outEnglish33·1 year agoSure, you can change literally everything about Firefox if you pay a time cost. The defaults do matter because that’s one more thing to fix when installing it. We could say this about any negative feature.

Now when I think “I want to send Alice a message”, I just go to the app I know will work, instead of trying to remember if Alice still uses Signal too.

Because every time they coordinate they form a cartel that causes a recession.

explodicle@local106.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•*Permanently Deleted*English82·1 year agoIt’s a tragedy of the commons - as an economics problem it matters, sure, but copyright is an artificial monopoly, not a human right. We could provide these more efficiently with public funding of the arts or crowdfunds, without the need to make up imaginary property with imaginary ethics.
