Looked at mine as it rolled out and automatically classified me as a adult like nice try even I was in unconfirmed I ain't never doxing myself because that's the last dumb thing that these politicians want is people doxing themselves and "protect the kids" when in reality it's mass surveillance

The fact that IE back when Microsoft dominated the market in the 90s Netscape went under and the ruling in their case came too late I just honestly hate how our governments are blinded that we have antitrust laws for a reason to prevent unfair competition and harm to consumers

Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
As a reminder this is bad for the entertainment industry as it will allow Paramount to unfairly dominate the entertainment markets We've seen consequences of monopolies like look at what happened to Netscape back when Microsoft dominated that hurted them and made them go out of business

Finally found a deal for another portable SSD that I will use for my video files after rendering them in Shotcut Due to price increase of these portable SSDs (thanks AI) I did not choose Samsung I instead chose Sandisk and I chose the older version since speed doesn't matter to me

Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Bullshit and I honestly hate how this is going into settlement because as I said before this will give Paramount a monopoly and using unfair advantages in the entertainment industry My mother saw what happened during Microsoft's case and their tactics harmed the markets especially Netscape
031
Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Even then it'll still give Paramount a monopoly and will use it for unfair advantages in the entertainment industry that's why it needs to be blocked Like I've said this before monopolies are terrible for markets and it will do more harm then good and settlements don't do shit to resolve anything

Also exactly why I ditched Chromium completely as a secondary browser since I rather not support a monopoly because Google controlling web standards is a terrible thing for the web

Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Been trying Orion from @kagi.com and honestly it's a very interesting choice to use Apple's WebKit especially to avoid Google's monopoly in the Chromium engine Quite sad that nobody takes advantage of using WebKit since it's the only other engine besides Gecko to avoid Chromium entirely

Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I honestly think this would be great because people don't realize that developing a browser costs money that's why alongside donations this would also help as well

Exactly why I hate the direction Mozilla is taking like why do they bother to continue to add more AI crap to FF when it's clear that nobody wants it Is exactly why I use a derivative (Floorp) and I hope they don't add this Can't wait for Ladybird

And I can tell you from my mother's perspective since she still remembers the Microsoft case that monopolies are terrible for a lot of things especially web browsers since majority of web browsers use Chromium in which is the dominant engine and it's terrible that's why I use a FF fork (Floorp)

Also exactly why Ellison is a fucking piece of shit especially running Paramount in the ground including shutting the Nickelodeon Animation Studios building in Burbank

Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
It needs to be blocked end of story because the settlement will allow Paramount to have a unfair monopoly in the entertainment industry Like we've seen examples in the past of companies that have abused their monopoly including AT&T in 1982 (Telephones) and Microsoft in 1998 (Windows)

This is exactly why I DeGoogled after initially learning their monopolistic practices in search though it wasn't until I discovered their predatory business practices in their products including their own hardware Is why I cancelled my YT Premium subscription and now my One subscription

GrapheneOS continues to reveal Googles active hobbling of the ability of OEMs to protect their users in favour of market exclusivity/protection, and pushing ahead with monopolistic anti competitive abuse hand in glove with GPL violations. Read below the break for the teams detailed analysis:

The fact that Google was already ruled a monopolist in the Play Store in the case by Epic yet they are now trying to make it harder to install competitors via sideloading even the 24 hour wait is very painful Not sure why the judge didn't look at it because to my knowledge it's anticompetitive

Gonna try something different for a password manager So I've decided to switch to KeePassXC from the folks at @keepassxc.org on my PCs since I want full control plus being offline means it's not subject to breaches I will continue to use Bitwarden but only on my mobile devices since I have premium

Just switched to @session-app.bsky.social from Signal and honestly I'm glad to see that development for Session is continuing with the funding because it's the only closest to Signal as Signal falls under U.S jurisdiction (PATRIOT, CLOUD, Section 702, NSLs, etc) since it's based in the US

If it's one thing for the ongoing antitrust case for search that I want to see on appeal from our government I at least want the Chromium project broken up from Google because I hate the fact that they have so much dominance with browsers using the engine and competitors not having a chance

I honestly hate the impression of people saying why so many security flaws in Chrome and Chromium Firstly is that Google is now using AI to help find security flaws secondly is that Chromium is the dominant engine in most browsers therefore it is why it's often a target by hackers

Yeah the Ellisons is actually another one on my bingo card no doubt about it especially that they are both pieces of shit and the fact that a Paramount shareholder a couple months back actually sued both of them because of their political ties with the government
