Yep, the reality is that Bing simply delivers an inferior product. I don't think they are actually trying to be malicious in this case. There is a reason Microsoft bribes you with gift cards to use their product ;)

I agree with FDroid here but as a compromise if the author wants to keep his little TOS banner he could instead turn it into a less forceful disclaimer with less forceful language. Basically instead of a TOS popup with "You cannot use

> Chrome has to implement some things to make it work, but our intention is all browsers. Edge is literally just Chrome with a few addons bolted in.... Does anyone know what that "some things" is?

It's just disappointing that Google has a ton of cool AI projects that have nice announcement pages and seem promising but are never available to the general public.

It took me a while to find evidence this is affiliated with GitHub, and the Oauth prompt saying this is not affiliated with GitHub doesn't help.

Is it really worse than Twitter's? The image has the website telling you exactly which account is already using that password (it's actually a joke from reddit). It's interesting to know that this was actually a thing though.

I don't think the argument was ever that "JavaScript was insecure." It was that the websites hosting it may be compromised or may change the script at any time without any indication (or the FBI forcing a site to backdoor the

> embrace extend extinguish I'm not saying that you're lying about this, but could you provide examples? I'm genuinely curious. Edit: I was able to think of OpenID and Play Services but that's about it.

Paying for services doesn't mean the company is no longer able to track you. If anything it's worse, you're paying monetarily and they're making extra money with your data... Edit: also a paying customer is way more valu

The Android issue has Mulvad mentioning connectivity checks and NTP which seems reasonable to me. Having an accurate clock is a requirement for some VPN protocols and IMO doing a connectivity check to see if a captive portal needs to opened

Have to disagree, it makes them more dependent on a few mega doners (Google, Microsoft, etc.). These campaigns are great to diversify and prevent Wikipedia from being beholden to them.

I don't get the outrage either. It's almost like people want Wikipedia to be barely scrapping by which isn't good. Having some money in your reserves is fine.

The thing I find most heartbreaking is that I'm 99% sure this will go the way of the Jeddah Tower (too much corruption/dictatorship for clever plans to be made and the project gets cancelled). It's also not the smartest proje
