What happened to Google Chrome since 2008

It used to be a user friendly lightweight browser.

Now it’s hardly recognizable from its launch. It’s heavy bloated and slurps up user data into invasive user profiles.

Those individual user profiles are rolled up into buckets of collective thoughts ripe for analysis and manipulation.

Can I get this group of people to buy my product? To read my book? To vote the way I want them to? To pay attention to this national issue? To ignore that one?

Modern life is so tied with smartphones living without it is increasingly becoming harder
  • True, school is nice in that it forces you to hang out with your peers, and that isn’t really emulated later in life. But I don’t think that’s the point.

    The point is that it’s just tougher to have non distracted conversations. Or even non distracted periods of time hanging out.

    It just feels awkward when someone is sitting there texting with someone else in front of you. Or just looking something up on their phone “really quick”, and then is MIA from the conversation for five minutes.

  • It gets better the longer it runs
  • Ohhhh, so there isn’t anything crazy going on here.

    It’s just literally running that function and tallying up how accurate it is as a prime number checker.

    …and it gets more accurate the longer it runs. Okay, I see now. Thanks, lol.

  • It gets better the longer it runs
  • I don’t get it. Can someone Explain Like I’m 5?

    There is a function that always returns false, and then a bunch of random output, and one failed?

    Is this like another weird quirk in the JavaScript VM or something? Lol?

  • Wow! It actually makes sense!
  • I actually agree that the metric system has nice round numbers, but this graphic is a hilarious rebuttal to the first one that just draws pictures to make their preferred system look like it fits into the pretty pictures.

    Two can play at that game, lol.

  • [Discussion] Should we defederate exploding-heads.com? (Closing arguments)
  • “ Although this could be considered a point in favor of defederation, it actually means even if we vote to remain federated, people have a great alternative in lemmy.world where they can still participate in our communities and simultaneously be protected from exploding-heads.”

    This seems like a great compromise.

    If you feel so strongly that you’d like to continue to interact with everyone here, and you don’t want to see stuff from another particular instance, then this is a great option.

    I vote no action is needed here on this instance.
