If you use Chrome, you’re supporting this utter shit (tl;dr Google is moving to ban adblockers by introducing DRM for websites): https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/blob/main/explainer.md
I guess AMP was a failure, so they’re trying again in another way to destroy the Web.
@thomasfuchs "Could you guys please stop trying to create a 1984 dystopia every 5 minutes?" is a personal favorite.

@thomasfuchs "have you tried having good ideas instead of bad ones" 🤣
@thomasfuchs the issues people are filing are hilarious 🤣
@thomasfuchs omg the pull requests are even better.
"622 lines deleted - LGTM!"
@mhoye @thomasfuchs and there's already tone policing from the "web standards community".
@codinghorror @thomasfuchs that one was amazing indeed. Why can't I think of such clever things?
@emma @thomasfuchs Including some people who should know better, too.
The pull requests are hilarious too
The subject is very not funny on the other hand 😡
@mhoye @emma @thomasfuchs afaik Google is supposed to be disclosing this kind of stuff to the Competition and Markets Authority in the U.K., too. Trying to figure what’s up with not reporting it
@colin_mcmillen
They even filed a pull request for a code of conduct thinking it does something 🤣🤣 after the damage was done
@4NEMOKAZUHA Yeah that'll surely prevent them from being insulted
@colin_mcmillen code of conduct got merged into main - I wonder why they didn’t merge the other better changes such as “fixing problems” (aka wiping the entire repository)🤧
@thomasfuchs Since adblocking is a cognitive accessibility requirement, forbidding such page alteration is an ableist and discriminatory practice.
