My response to that would be something like

You first, leech

I’d still want the browser to at least be able to do it as a default, not at the whim of specific sites.

I don’t know if this is an editorial wording choice or not, but the Justice Department should not be “reaching deals” at all. There were real human beings leading Boeing making intentional choices that killed people, then they lied about it, orchestrated a campaign to hide evidence of those lies, and got caught. These fines should be in addition to those scumbag executives being behind bars, not in lieu of it.

I build call centers.

When we design the call flows, those are the first tings we disable. You can tell a company at least slightly cares about their customer base if they actually do allow you to escalate to a human without a ton of effort. Most don’t, and want to shove “AI” in front of everything, so they can hire even less people in low-cost markets. Offshoring wasn’t cheap enough for these leeches companies, now they want AI to replace those folks making starvation wages to get yelled at all day.

And sometimes, these solutions work well. Most of the time, they work just well enough to not have people quitting their service in frustration.

25% tariff is still cheaper than re-shoring. Well, Apple never made them here anyways, but you get the point. To make them here, they’d have to jack that price up by way, way more than 25%.

The Daily Show had a guy that wrote a book on how Apple has been one of the biggest reasons for China’s economic growth in the past 15 or so years, with them investing like $50 billion a year and driving literally millions of jobs in just their supply chain. Trump isn’t changing that. Apple would pull out of selling in the US before they’d reverse course at this point.

Look how quickly they were ready to make and ship devices from India, when the China tariffs firs hit. They are smarter than the Trump admin, and planned for this.

They can, but this wouldn’t be a website thing, it’d be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same “DRM for a good cause” approach Signal is using.

I read that it’s “opt out” not “opt in”.

Nice, wholesale illegal wire tapping. It’s OK, it’s legal because it’s AI and Google is totally not storing any recordings. They say this is all on-device, but that’s an “oops” or equivalent from them hoovering up recordings of every phone call you use one of their surveillance endpoints phones on.

There are open source alternatives? Do they handle Plex/Infuse integration? Trakt’s obsessive march toward enshitification has been pretty predictable, but maybe this price hike will be the last straw.

The opposite. I heartily disagree that regulations protecting some people from harm are at the detriment of others.

That’s just “people are saying”. It’s either a straw man, or a belief. If not both.

No one has the rights to harm another. Your argument is ridiculous.

This process sucks so much. It takes too long to churn through the courts, which disenfranchises people for possibly multiple elections. If the map designers faced criminal charges, this type of bad faith map drawing would be far less prevalent than it is, across the country.

paying the taxes

LMAO, swing and a miss…

Yeah, Proton is bucking the obvious trend, with this one. Most companies will totally take the profits rather than lowering prices.

Fines are treated as a cost of doing business. Jail time should be a better motivator for compliance.

These scumbags should be forced to live downwind from these polluters…

The life savings were illegal immigrants?

/s , obviously

The real reason is probably civil asset forfeiture.

If they are refusing to pay for them, leaving them there would be gifting them to those airlines. Boeing is owed money, not the other way around.

I had to re-read that a few times for it to click.
