While that is true, it’s also true that if the algo has no data on you it just shows you what most other people want to see, which is usually boobs

The reasons why almost nobody has heard of them don’t matter, the point is that nobody has heard of them - meaning they have no fame to steal or popularity to piggy back off of

120 stars… not exactly a common household name. Meanwhile zed the editor has 12k stars, gaining or losing 120 wouldn’t even register. Your comment is delusional

My first thought when seeing this post was “oh like Tonies but for movies, awesome”

How does this compare to Plex?

It’s opt in, just not in America

ITT: nobody actually reading the article

Initially, it was suggested that this removal impacted Google’s synched Chrome bookmarks but further research reveals that’s not the case. Instead, the removals apply to Google’s saved feature.

This Google service allows users to save and organize links, similar to what Pinterest does. These link collections can be private or shared with third parties.

This has got nothing to do with browsers. The article is saying that if you use an online Google service to save Google search results, then when they are forced to take said search result down due to DMCA then it also is (obviously) gone from the saved collection. This could just as easily happen in Firefox if you use Google’s saved pages service, which is a bit like Pinterest. Meanwhile Chrome, like Firefox, never touches your actual bookmarks

I hate this so much but I want to call out the Google and Apple are just as bad. I used edge for a while and I constantly got popups on every Google owned website telling me how great Chrome is and that I should switch, it was even worse than what you get from Windows telling you to use Edge. And don’t even get me started about Safari on iPhones…

Yes exactly it’s a question about Windows. Saying “use Linux” is not relevant to this post, which is about Windows.

It’s also terrible advice.

Yeah then instead of spending seconds closing a popup you can spend days troubleshooting driver issues

I think there’s a wide range of people on Lemmy too but the extreme right and extreme left have ended up on instances that have been defederated from the main group. So what you’re seeing are the sensible, rational people, and in America such people are considered left wing I guess 😉

I wonder how much of that on Reddit is just bots and shills, ie corporations paying to create and upvote posts and comments that support their agenda

It’s worth noting that this setting also hides then from search results, which is pretty silly imo. So when searching, use a different account/different browser
