Wow, this is really cool!!!

Google is really damned if they do, damned if they don’t here. Third party cookies are very privacy invasive, but replacing it with Chrome watching everything you do and acting as an ad broker is also not great. As long as Google is providing targeted advertising (which you could opt out of in privacy sandbox) then there’s not a really great solution.

I do think they dragged this along enough that all sites now operate properly with third party cookies disabled, so that’s a benefit at least.

This assumes as a tenant you have physical access to the boiler room. From the video, it seems like this person might have that access, but not everyone might.

Marty: “Are you telling me you built a time machine… Out of a Cybertruck??”

Doc Brown: “The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?”

Marty: “So you picked a Cybertruck??? What the fuck doc, it’s hideous. This is heavy, doc”

Even when back to the future enters public domain, if someone ever makes a version with the cybertruck, I’m going to be pissed at you first. The only exception is if the cybertruck can’t make it to 88mph and breaks down and the Libyans kill Marty so we don’t have to suffer any longer.

Won’t this push it past the 100 day extension period congress did authorize in the original bill that was signed into law? Even if Trump said he won’t enforce the fine for Google, Apple, and Oracle for distributing the app, Democrats should make it clear they will go after those companies once Trump no longer controls the DoJ.

Not sure how true it was, but there was a YouTuber claiming that their videos were getting entirely demonetized because too many of their viewers had Ad blockers enabled. So even though 75% of people were seeing ads on the video, Google was keeping that ad revenue, withholding it all from the creator because 25% weren’t getting ads. The claim the youtuber made is that this will probably predominantly impact creators with a more tech savvy / privacy aware audience, resulting in less of that niche content.

Anyway, this is anecdotal, but I wouldn’t put it past Google to pass the issue to the creators for the actions of their consumers, even though it’s not their fault.

Yeah, I remember when it was $75 but didn’t jump on it then. Back then I didn’t think they’d ever charge for basic functionality that was offered for free for 10 years. I don’t regret not getting it though, this is the kick I need over to Jellyfin.

Let’s Encrypt supports DNS verification, if you have access to update the zone file. It makes automation harder, but there are scripts to do the DNS update for the verification.

Was the price the same then as it is now? $120 USD? Based on the article, the price will only raise at the end of April.

Yess finally. Switched off of Chrome after seeing uBlock Origin was going to go away, but I have a lot of PWAs which has been hacky to get working.
