They certainly don't have to operate that way. You could have nearly the same incentive structure (minus the cost of actually commuting to a library) if they purchased their goods and only offered time-limited checkouts up to the number of copies they've purchased.
Because your access to their API is conditioned on an agreement not to use unauthorized clients. You are free to use the software of your choosing in conjunction with your own computers, but not necessarily with everybody else's.
if (casual) users is what Google was concerned about that'd be easy to solve. They could ship a full ad-blocker with Chrome that renders third party extensions obsolete and there'd likely be no v3 debate, because those are the extensions primarily impacted by the design choices made.

The entire debate we're having rests on the fact that they're not integrating this functionality (despite this being technically trivial) because it's in conflict with their entire business model. Which is the only reason people have to reach for third party extensions in the first place.

If a third party can build a box to decrypt your encryption without you providing a key, then instead of suing the third party out of existence, you should pick a new encryption algorithm that's actually secure. Consider this analogy: should Master Lock be able to sue companies that make padlock shims, since several of their locks are vulnerable to shimming attacks?

Twitter bought Tweetdeck for $40 Million in 2011.
Yet another argument for why you shouldn't list your employer on LinkedIn.
The way that works is that on VGA you can resize the video buffer to e.g. be 320x400 displayed on a 320x200 display (i.e. it still only shows 200 out of those 400 lines). You then use hardware panning to change to start offset which indicates which line in the buffer the VGA starts scanning to screen (in 320x200 mode it will only scan 200 lines of that buffer). With this technique, super smooth scolling can be achieved since a hardware effect like that has no strain on the CPU or bus whatsoever. A pinball game only has to update relativly small areas when it comes to actual pixel changes, the ball, some lights, etc, so its relatively straight forward for a game like that to achive 60fps :)
That’s a pretty hot take, can you elaborate? I’m not sure I understand.
The helicopter market doesn't really cover personal transport, unless you're talking about the ultra-rich. And unless the roof of an office building already has a heli-pad, it's not getting landed on.
Has Brave announced how they're dealing with this change? I've been using it for years and am generally happy, though I've been trying Orion recently to get vertical tab support.
Good point. I used to bike over the Queensboro bridge every day and daydream about living there. I even took the gondola once to see what a commute like that would be like. We ended up looking at a couple condos in an older building near the church there but never made any offers and eventually moved to New England for other reasons.

But Roosevelt Island and Governor's Island were like the two places I ever felt halfway relaxed in NYC.
The FTC consent decree disagrees with this take.
I personally understood GP comment as vindicating in favor of the law by implicitly trying to preempt those who might argue that this used to be (and should remain) private information. The counterargument it makes is that it isn't private and that the information asymmetry creates a power imbalance that would be curbed by this law.
My interpretation may be wrong though, English is not my native language.

This seems a bit unrelated but I'll chime in with my opinion.

Unfortunately for some types of games (first person shooters), a modified client can be game ruining for other players. For me, as long as it's only running while the client is running, and doesn't send private data remotely, I'm okay with it.

At least on Windows there's not much difference in terms of privacy of something running in the kernel vs userland in the same user as your important documents. It can read your entire filesystem and attach to running apps anyway without needing kernel access. So the "in your OS kernel" part is only concerning if their anti-cheat is coded poorly enough to cause a BSoD.
I don't see how a service which just regurgitates the content of another service is "competition".

Hi vrchat thread! Yes, getting a next-best alternative to vrc would be awesome.

I am... somewhat sceptical as to why they feel they can just "VR/AR: We need to flip the bit to enable WebVR / OpenXR support", _especially_ with custom avatars. VRC has been 1, native, 2, using an engine very optimized for 3d pipeline rendering (unity) and yet it still has _major_ performance issues, on account of different avatars using different shaders, and high (80k++) polycount. I'm open to be proven wrong, but feel very strongly both that 1, the whole "metaverse" concept only makes sense in vr context, with physical intimacy being the core killer feature; and 2, in order to do that, you need an engine highly optimized for this purpose (to avoid vr fatigue / vr sickness), and 3, chrome is, as far as I can tell, not the delivery platform for that.

Specifically, in order to provide vr experience that people don't get sick in, you need an extremely high-grade, low-latency rendering pipeline, including fine things like pose prediction, timewarping, and other ways to generate hypothetical frames _before the user actually moved there_. I'd be intensively curious if chrome would provide that.

Otherwise, what you have here, will remain essentially a small sandbox for 5 minutes gameplay. Good luck!
IMAP IDLE needs an open connection.
When the phone is locked all apps are suspended(connection closed) except if they are VOIP.
So this makes IDLE unusable. Moreover an open connection takes more energy.

If Microsoft provided a public API where you could download all the credentials for both the user and all their friends, then yes, Microsoft would be blamed.
God I hate having to defend Facebook in any way shape or form, but this is the right call. Not only is this company sort of suspicious looking at it, but as another user brought up they don't even have a privacy policy. I have no clue what the extent of data or permissions their app has once you sign in as a user.

This is a PR nightmare waiting to happen because they're siphoning data using a reverse engineered API. You could argue 'what's the worst that could happen' but if they're inserting themselves into the middle of that process, they can effectively behave as that user and request anything they wanted as that user.

OAuth exists for a reason and it's to ensure that users are made aware of what exactly an app is requesting on behalf of them and so that full chain can be properly tracked. If you really want to argue that third party clients should be allowed then it should be from the standpoint of forcing companies to offer something along those lines, not this. People defending this app is horrifying from a security standpoint.

Too much hd noise = too much swapping = anxiousness.
I was careful in my choice of the word participated. I chose to use that word as I intended it to only include people who worked on the product. If anyone at the company who did not work on the development of the product was banned then I wholly disagree with their suspension.

Also, while I enjoy your alliteration, it’s also an extremely steep “slippery slope” argument. It’s certainly not an argument I was trying to entertain.
THat's not the what you were asking. You asked 'What evidence do you have that this application was acting as a "proxy" where the developers can "intercept and see all data"?'

The app is by definition acting as a proxy, and therefore the developers can intercept and see the data, though they might not be doing so currently.
Because FB was blamed for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which, at its core, was simply an issue of providing Oauth2 logins to third parties.
Your argument is basically "what Meta did is okay since you agreed to it in the terms of service that you accepted", right? I'm saying that like selling yourself into indentured servitude, accepting Meta's TOS is not always a completely free choice.

This is bullshit. The cry in Boston was "no taxation without representation", not "fuck the government".
Meta isn't a utility that's been granted a legal monopoly / duopoly by the government, so it's not a great analogy.
I see value in sharing a positive reaction and in times like this when I click the comments before the link, this got me to actually go watch.
How is Meta supposed to verify this? And verify that they don't start behaving badly in the future?

This is what got Facebook in trouble with the FTC... they allowed developers access to all the users data without oversight. They are required by their settlement to not just trust app devs that they won't abuse the data.
Interesting they're saying "may":

> Starting in June in Chrome 115, Chrome may run experiments to turn off support for Manifest V2 extensions in all channels, including stable channel.

They're giving themselves wiggle room on this instead of saying they're just straight up going to turn it off (or even committing themselves to starting to phase it out at that point).

Also, they're showing support for MV2 extensions through Jan 2024, as long as they're marked Private. That's huge — I'm considering scrapping our update for now and just waiting to see how this all unfolds until then. Most of our users come from our website, and I can just link them to Private instances of our extension in the Store. (Also, our extensions are fairly mature, and we can go a year without submitting an update.)

I have no need to be Google's guinea pig as they sort out this mess!
We're not saying they shouldn't attempt to stop them. We're saying they shouldn't be able to stop them.
Exactly - until legal action happened. I think internet user rights have a LONG way to go, and I can only pray that stuff like "forced to look at insipid, manipulative advertising so you can continue to talk to your family" may indeed become a thing of the past.

I currently have an Inbox of multiple messages from family members awaiting me, except I refuse to log into Facebook to view them. The only remaining notification email I have left enabled for Facebook is exactly that -- private messages. This way I can contact the relevant person elsewhere and ask them what the message was. This is the kind of "bending over backwards" I have to do to avoid the surveillance-capitalism crap I'm coerced towards by these platforms that can do essentially whatever they want AND demand exactly how we are _allowed_ to interact with them. Why can't I use an unofficial Facebook Messenger client and read the <100 bytes of communication my family member wanted to send me? Ahh yes I have to agree to a hundred-page ToS and subject myself to ads and privacy-invading user tracking to see those few bytes. This is fine.
This is the point that Richard Stallman tried to hit over 2 decades ago with Right To Read (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html ) and got close but not quite --- yes, source code is valuable, but even without source code you should still have the "right to read" what your own computer executes, as otherwise it is not truly yours.

In fact I'd go as far as arguing that true software freedom isn't about availability of source code, but what you are legally permitted to even without.

I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that today, social networks are an oligopoly and lack meaningful competition. That makes it not a free market, which means the social media companies shouldn't get to do everything that companies in a free market can, and should instead be regulated like other things that aren't free markets, e.g., utilities.

One could argue the classic path of technology is to bring to everybody what was once available only to the ultra rich. There was a nice infographic on how an iPhone replaced roughly a million worth of equipment in the 90s.

The ultra-rich heli market may be small in relative terms, but it's there. Much easier to expand it 100x than to build a new one. And once you do, you're in a good position to try something else - your tech is proven, you have a fleet, you're bringing in cash.
p.s. to entertain your comedian argument, I think there are some situations where that may be correct.

If a comedian tells vile racist jokes, I believe the writer of the joke, the talent manager who knew the comedians content, the person who booked the comedian knowing the content, and the venue who knowingly provided the platform for the content should all be similarly shunned.
Yes, an individual can do that.

That is not the point. The person you replied to wasn't saying they know for sure they were stealing user data, just that Meta has no way of knowing they aren't, and even if they aren't right now, no way of knowing if they will start in the future.

It doesn't matter what the app does at this moment, it can be changed at any point.
That would be awesome. Right now, you usually get an even less favorable choice than that! For example with Spotify, you either use their app and see ads, or you pay and don't see ads, but still are forced to use their app.
That part stinks a bit, but this information deserves to be shared in my opinion.

It probably should have been made public in the first place, now it's tainted by conflicts of interest...

It is absolutely incredible to me that people are defending Meta in this thread.

- Yes, Facebook had the right to do it. They're terrible for doing it, though. Meta is terrible? No way!

- I'm extremely exhausted of the "tough luck, it's a private company" shtick when it fits someone's personal interests, but cry corporate capitalistic Hell when it doesn't.

- There is nothing I've seen in the Apple Developer Guidelines that would warrant it being removed, though I'm open to this (it's been a while since I've read the full thing)

That is how it's always is, when searching and researching anything. One cannot really trust the source so one should always verify that any claims made are true.
These are still just images, not videos, so I don't understand the moral panic of "OMG celebrities & fake porn!"

These systems aren't really lowering the barrier of entry on still-photography fake porn when previously anyone with Gimp & a few hours of video tutorials could churn out much the same thing.

I think text-prompt generated deep fakes (not just of porn) will present a significantly larger challenge for society, but I don't see that same scope of problem on still images.

How did they get pre-seed funding for this? Unless I'm missing something, any angel who would invest $1M into a company that is building an alternative, ad-free Instagram client has to be one of the dumbest people around, no?

How could anyone even conceivably think this could go on indefinitely?

I'm asking genuinely because I don't get how anyone could've thought this would end any way other than by Meta putting the kibosh on this.
All their actions seem to arise out of arrogance and misplaced belief that no one can replicate their work. Even before DALL-E, with GPT etc the sheer arrogance that led them to think that they could decide how their tools can be used, who can use them and for what propose was revolting.

Frankly it spoiled the whole ML/DL revolution for me which till that point of time was a little more open than other fields. True that companies like Google don't let you use their models like Alpha* freely or even open source them but they aren't dangling access like these pricks who called themselves open were doing.

I hope they will become irrelevant in the coming years.

I generally feel safe at crosswalks, but I never trust the infrastructure of the crosswalk to keep me safe. If you blindly trust the crosswalk light you'll probably wind up dead. I always look both ways while crossing the street, I keep my head on a swivel during the entire crossing not just the start. Ultimately I am responsible for my own safety, I won't get a second life just because the traffic light said I was in the right.

If you stay attentive when crossing, I think almost all crosswalks are safe. If you aren't attentive when crossing, none of them are safe.

Its not perfect, but I think levying massive fines would still be quite effective. Nobody wants to be the CEO at the helm when a successful company was ruined, or where the stock price tanked due to bad management decisions.

Imagine a car company which sold cheap cars that injured people. "If we fine them for their actions, the executive team will just raise prices or fire employees!". Yeah - maybe don't sell a car thats so cheap that it causes accidents.

Certainly it would be much more effective than the system we have now - where their negligence seems to have had no negative consequences for the company.

But if you're suggesting there should be personal liability for CEOs as a result of data breaches like this, then I think I could be convinced.
