So instead of multiple providers tracking people all the time there will be a single company doing it, but it’s okay because I should trust them for what reason? Why wouldn’t tracking companies just use their own tracking on top of this new technology?

Patents shouldn’t be valid for more than 5 years imo. If you can’t make a large enough profit from your idea in 5 years maybe it wasn’t that good or original.

I hate python async with a burning passion but I’ll admit most of it is a consequence of skill issues

Wow excuse my zoomer language but… Who asked?

Kagi pays Google for search results to supplement its index so it will keep reddit results as long as Google lets them

Firefox is funded by Google and Meta, but its still better than being directly made by Google. There isn’t a single good browser right now.

I can understand it from the perspective of the developers who need to implement all this crazy tracking/advertising/graphics functionality, but imo a vending machine should only do three things:

1. Let me see what is available (preferably using glass)
2. Accept payment
3. Give me what I paid for

Vending machines have done this for decades without requiring an operating system. Keep it simple!

Yes of course Linux is a fully fledged OS, my point was a vending machine should not need any OS, my bad if I didnt make that clear

Makes sense, but a vending machine shouldn’t need a fully fledged OS in the first place imo

I love how vending machines run windows now
