All things considered it seems they got a pretty good deal out of it

They are not forcing anything. Nobody has to opt in.

This is exactly what they did with .webp

So basically they’re using their monopoly to force through changes in internet standards? Sounds like the EU will be paying a visit soon.

It’s all about ads/ad money/data, it’s heavily bleeding into a single issue. It’s not like some giant manufacturing company doing shady things with their cars and air conditioners, all the subsidiaries are interlinked. You could say WEI is just a Chrome thing, Google is just their search engine, AdWords is just an ad service etc, but they’re all part of the data to ads to sales pipeline.

There’s no overarching anti-trust conversation to be had because there’s currently no anti-trust cases, if there ever will be. The comments under each individual instance of it being required is the “big conversation”. As a content aggregation site (mainly news) the only place it could realistically occur is under some wishful thinking self-post nobody would care about.

This one has got the lemmy.world turbo redditors upset

In the terminal should do it

Probably search files/run in the start menu, then type dxdiag

That’s what it normally is on Windows, I can’t remember the Linux command

They’re Chinese. They’re from the Republic of China.

If in E you’re the chad, does that mean in D you’re a pack of dogs?

I must be missing something because you said he’s not implying that, then immediately implied it yourself

The admin is the one implying it in the OP

It’s in r/programming, they’re all already wearing thigh highs

I put together all the proofs OOP had collected so you guys don’t have to open a bunch of archived imgur tabs:
