But if you implement something in your browser that allows websites to block anything that isn’t an accepted browser (and websites use it because they don’t want their precious data to feed random AIs) you effectively prevent any potential competition from crawling websites to build a search index that might threaten your position.
repairs are not a matter of subsidies. Only new infrastructure is supported.
That’s a big problem. If you incentivize a company to not maintain the infrastructure because you will pay for it once it’s completely broken it will be completely broken.
If musicbrainz has an acoustic fingerprint for the songs it doesn’t need metadata. Picard is more or less the GUI version of beets.
It was time to switch to Invidious anyway.
Which will stop working once this is implemented, since it doesn’t use a trusted browser to access YT. As will any kind of automated access. Search engine bots, archive crawlers, third party apps… anything websites don’t like or know won’t be able to access them anymore.
If you want to continue using any of them, you should probably uninstall any Chrome-based browser now: https://techreport.com/news/google-tries-to-defend-its-web-environment-integrity-as-critics-slam-it-as-dangerous/
“Through WEI, Google aims to help websites weed out bots by verifying that the visitors on their domains are actual users.”
In other words, if this gets implemented it is likely that Youtube will block anything that doesn’t look like a “real browser” (i.e. Chrome), so no videos in alternative apps anymore.
Yeah, I added the link since the embedded image didn’t seem to work.

Hm, how do images work across instances? Maybe this way?

If you want to push back against the rising right-wing bigotry modding a decently sized subreddit might be one of the most effective places for regular people to do so. Arguably that power is not irrelevant in today’s social media landscape.
Let’s hope there’s already a law that the EU can find to apply (since they already don’t like the non-EU dominance of big tech), or that they make one in time.
100%. If it seems too innocent or self-aware it’s Flanders.
