Interesting. Is this happening in the u.s? If not there might be a law for those countries making them hide it there. If you can, try searching for sepia search, its a sesrch engine for almost all peertube intances basically its as if peertube was youtube, do those countries show that?

I actually didn’t know that much about the term. I am a dem-sexual and support LGBTQ and I wouldn’t want to be associated with people avocating against LGBTQ people or any marginalized people.

I agree, what are some of them that are known by users of Lemmy? In particular when you compare larger search engines to each other.

I’m not too familiar with maps i’ve only herd about it like 2 times. if it’s not a thing now could it become a thing a decade from now? atleast on the surface, on it’s own, distant away from LGBT.

I think I get why they are actually are allowing it, they won’t say why, but I get why. It might have something to do with maps. If you know what maps are then you’l understand, if you don’t then there’s always a chance of learning. Not like the tradition map, but it’s another definition.

as you say this big companies in recent times have been working on making the web less wide, and less accessible mostly for independent sites. search engines hide sites, sometimes Playstore will take down apps. I think this is a small issue slowly turning into a big issue. and a small handful that own a bunch of the sites you commonly see will take advantage of the changing landscape.

In other words, these older extentions work just fine, no one wants the new limited features, and google is force disabling older extentions despite any outcries from its users because it can.

seems interesting, a news source from Germany. I’l bookmark it and check it out.

true, but i’m not signing up for something I check once in a blue moon. and I suppose technically it isn’t a paywall, but it could turn into to one, or it might as well be one, what else does this pop up serve, to protect the site from bots?

I’m glad you actually said that scrolling down the comment I was like, wait people are ok with this? and they don’t see that it’s a trap?

It’s a trap, this is all bad. standerlise the internet, and then they’l be able to charge you for Xbox live ons team and more

This is not a good thing for Linux users, but it is for Windows users. It’l make using the internet for basic tasks more seamless. and I think this is generally what this is going for. Not to make it seamless, but to restrict, but make it seem seamless.

If I wanted to see ads I would go on youtube or like kotaku or something.

actually I see what some of you mean, regarding bots can kill communities, because real users know what stories are worth sharing. When bots do it right though, i still believe it drives up conversation when people aren’t posting, when real users engage in conversation in the comments and talk about the article that the bot shared. Which was my major point for bots, but not to really replace real users. which I feel some of you thought I meant it to that degree, of which I did not.

meaining it’s about a 50-50 split in the us. i’m still not really concerned. when you have only two smartphones, ad no one wants to make a 3rd commercial smart phone that is not based on andriod, resualts like this are bound to happen.

It might not or mightt be true, I know a lot of artist hate it, you’d be hard pressed to not find any that does not like ai, not saying that no one out of these groups could not appreciate it. I do think ai can be great, but it’s all over the internet, that people just don’t like ai. Might even be 50-50 60-40 who knows, but it’s still a noticable amount.

I am totally ok with disagreements. I think people like to learn from others, even when they might just simply be wrong at times in the public opinion.

This is the best thing to happen to for internet, since the fediverse. or since hd video was made available for free streaming uncapped particularly by YouTube

and now more people can experience this. I consider this a win for all. Internet prices will go down. Did we lose anything from this proposal? I don’t think so. but time will tell as of course the rules had only just now passed.

wait, then how do youtube’s ads on smart tvs generate money? something doesn’t add up because on smart tvs you cannot click the ad in the same way or even at all.

Chrome wasn’t the problem, more or so Google being the defualt search engine everywhere you go except windows, and the degraded search experience on Google. Google chrome itself is actually a good fast speedy browser. whether it’s the speediest is debatable. but it is a good one.

also Google Chrome is pre installed on Chromebooks and Android phones. while Chromebooks aren’t as… popular, android phones particularly dominate sales charts.
