Surely b2b "model API provider" would've been a great fit for Amazon, but others are absolutely dominating this space right now. The silver lining for Amazon is that nobody is making a profit by actually providing that servic

Alternate take: it's exactly as bad as you expected, but your timeline was off. And even so, perhaps it's later than you realize. Device attestation in the browser is the final nail in the coffin, and it's a question of &quot

I might have shared your surprise a decade ago, but we live in a world where many people use something with even less utility (cryptocurrency) readily in their retirement portfolios. At least those cosmetic items in video games actually do

I totally agree, assuming all this is accurate he immediately proved that RC was right all along to be concerned about him!

What a truly wild situation. In a certain sense this post justifies why RC wanted so badly to take ownership - I mean, here you have a maintainer who clearly has a desire to sell user data to make a buck - but the way it all played out

Yeah viewing it as a single plan is wrong. I think the more complete view is that the current generation of fascists learned from the Bush admin's mistakes (or, I suppose you could say, they feel unshackled by Bush era "restraint&

Sure but they're not selling ads because the lack of ads is the unique selling point of the consumer product. It's a loss leader to build the brand for the b2b / gov stuff. If they junk up the consumer experience too much use

Precisely. They could simply say "not our problem" and move along if they didn't have this capability. But since it exists, it can be abused. I keep hoping enough people inside Google still give a shit to push back on their p
