A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I want an internet without Google.

Is there any way to block or spoof the collection oftheis data?

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not if they force you to get your shit signed by Google to connect to a site.

[–] AzzyDev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not even with containers (in a similar way to how Firefox already handles DRM?)

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If Google gets their way, either Google* authenticates you or you're SOL.

*they're selling it as others can too, but it will be super limited. If Firefox supported it it would only be for their build and sites would likely only validate them if you were restricted on extensions.

[–] AzzyDev 1 points 1 year ago

…fuck. I’ve been having this idea where sites could perhaps be loaded in the background with the drm in a container, with the content being displayed for the user, with this front end content being modifiable by extensions and such. So if a button needed JavaScript, the JavaScript would be ran in the DRM container and the content would be added to the user’s view.

It's DRM for the internet. The open web is fucking dead.

In loving memory, RIP TCP/IP based internet
