It’s a fantastic example of why an ad blocker is a completely necessary accessory to use the web in any capacity today.

I have a brilliant friend who works there. However, only projects that integrate AI are really getting approved.

Not if I use AI to hide my use of AI first!

Enforcing that ban is going to be difficult.

Look at those goalposts go!

Don’t forget the random explosive barrel.

All great ideas! I use Steam already so I think I'll configure it with KDE to open it in big picture mode.

Yup. I'm not a fan of it, but the laptop was otherwise a good deal and the oddity of having an AI button wasn't enough to spoil the bunch. Still weird and kind of creepy though.

I just hope more open phones like the rumored Graphene phone with actually good high-end hardware are out by then so I can leave their ecosystem comfortably. As you wrote, Google has a history of abusive behavior and doing what they want anyway.

Interesting! I learned a new word. And yes, look to Google Chrome's walking back of blocking ad-blockers to its eventually implementation anyway once people stopped screaming about it.

That's the problem; handset makers don't believe you own the phone. They think it's their phone that you're paying to use temporarily.

Google has far too much power. We should not be subject to the whims of a company that does not and cannot have our best interests at heart. For this reason, my next phone will be a Fairphone or, I hope, the new Graphene phone when it comes out late next year.
