BULL FUCKING SHIT
Video or didn't happen
so Dissenter implemented a "Dissent this" button on youtube now, that's a big deal I tend to forget about dissenter since it's usually a small little icon at the top of my browser this makes it much more noticable
Dissenter demanded my browsing history :/
they just want to know the good porn
Well they can't have it, it's mine :^)
On a serious note, demanding for extra info for basic functionality = immediate suspicion

@Beemann - oh! I thought my work network had done something funky to my dissenter plugin and thats why it was asking me to update permissions.
apparently they are removing the bit of code that has triggered that check from google. Torba didnt go into detail about what it was for exactly but I think it is something to do with the tabs in the extension itself rather than actual browser history as the warning claimed.

so google released an extension that does the opposite of Dissenter

huh. i wonder how it decides what counts as toxic? probably everything i've ever posted online would end up being filtered out as toxic.
...well, not everything. i do tend to put a lot of "awwwwww'" comments on pictures of pitbull puppies.
then again, they're pitties so anything related to them would be toxic.
no winning on that one i guess.
Anything that's wrongthink, of course
you could actualy try out to see what was considered toxic lol
like a year or two ago
ppl typed in random shit and it told u if it was toxic or not
as usual, if u trashed whites or men or straights, it was not considered toxic lmfao
That's how tune will work.
yeah basically lol
I take no issue if the opposition wants to hide their heads in the sand
They're going to make you hide your head soon too comrade.
Not a viable strategy unless we go full China and then also outdo their efficiency in catching people skipping past it
nah, they'll just ruin chrome by putting it into your browser.
then tell you to make your own browser.
You mean like the multitude of other browsers that already exist?
Plus it's all FOSS. You can just fork it
They'll regulate those out of existence.
and block payment processors.
Regulate what? An entire software license?
Block payment processors to volunteer projects? Ban old versions of software?
Somebody will try, I'm sure
Like I know this is, to a certain extent, shitposting, but I just want to make it super clear that attempting to take over FOSS is like laying claim to language. You can certainly try, but you won't do much
Like the big Linux scare
