Watch the others in the room. The assholes who jeer and manhandle the protestors. These are your peers in the tech industry. These are the “acceptable folks” in tech. Fuck these people.
Look at their faces. They know exactly what they’re complict in. Look at their smug smiles. Dickheads each one.

#Google now admits it tracks you in #Chrome's #incognito following $5B settlement

> The clarified text in new incognito mode browsers confirmed what we all thought.
Large corporations like the hate on the #GPL even though it has brought them big benefits. #Linux would be nowhere near what it is without the GPL. I always saw #Google's #Fuchsia kernel as their effort to get out of the GPL, since it would replace the Linux kernel. There was even media hype to that effect. Now I'm happy to see that Google is no longer supporting #Chrome on Fuchsia. I see this as a win for #FreeSoftware

People can be as upset about this as they want, but so long as they continue to watch #YouTube they continue tacitly supporting their user-hostile actions. If you really want to make a difference, stop watching, and tell content creators why. When you can convince them to move to platforms that don't shove ads down your throat every 3 minutes, THAT is when you'll see #Google change their tune.

The Verge did a great job on this article. Because of #Google’s search monopoly, it esssentially forces every webpage to look similar in order to be found.
We can have nice things, we just need to destroy all #monopolies in order to have them.

How the internet reshaped itself around Google’s search algorithms — and into a world where websites look the same.Mia Sato (The Verge)
It looks like the #Japanese made #ActivityPub platform #Misskey is soon to take over #Mastodon in the number of forks.

As an #Asian myself, I'm happy to see that ideas, developers, and software from #Japan are going mainstream. There are a lot of things the West, and the world for that matter, can learn from Japan.
Not only from the Japanese, to be exact, even from #Korean made software. I talked about last year how #Korea created its own Internet culture that not even #Google and #Microsoft can compete with. (See: #Naver's amazing interconnected platforms; what Google would have been if they had a vision.)
New Misskey and Mastodon forks (a big list)
There is a large number of new-ish Mastodon and Misskey forks, but it is not clear which criteria one should employ for their inclusion. Mastodon: Little Forest (https://github.com/mashirozx/mastodon, live at https://littlefore.Codeberg.org
