…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Oooof. This one hit REALLY close to home.

In an attempt to atone for creating the bomb, Julius Robert Oppenheimer would go on to invent a quantum teleportation device. But when a failed experiment sends him back in time, attracting the attention of a hostile alien species, he is forced to turn his invention into a weapon that will expose the alien homeworld to a distant black hole…

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.

Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.

If all I get is an aura and 24 hours of disorientation, discomfort, and nausea, I feel like I won the lottery.

I will make exactly one attempt to educate someone who doesn’t treat it seriously. The amount of ignorance and general lack of education and awareness out there is staggering.

I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢

Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.

Use Firefox.

This is a very simple calculation for me. I follow the “golden rule of liberty”, which can also be called the “harm principle.”

That is, “your rights end where mine begin. my rights end where yours begin”. Or, it is unethical to restrict anyone’s freedoms/liberties (especially expression) if they are not inflicting harm on others (i.e. infringing on their rights).

Furthermore, I object to any level of subjective analysis of the “legality” of art. Ergo, the mindset of “I think this looks childish, therefore it is a child, therefore it is CP” is exceptionally unethical and should not be tolerated.

And moreso, all of this only muddies and minimizes the ACTUAL crime of abusing children and diverts resources away from protection of real, actual children all because of some inane moralizing over someone’s artwork.

You are too hung up on “punishing the immoral” to realize that the ACTUAL need is “protecting the vulnerable” - and those two things are NOT the same.
