Great explainer about the changes, and reasons why it actually behooves Google to continue to allow ad blockers in some form. All that said…this still reaffirms my decision to go Firefox, always and forever, to get the most complete privacy options.

They’re taking on the entire Republic of Gamers, all by themselves? Those madlads!

I hate how the Atlantic will publish well-thought pieces like this, and then turn around and publish op-eds like this that are practically drooling with lust for AI.

on the mobile version they forbid this :(

at least they allow addons on mobile. i think mobile Chrome STILL doesn’t

This was posted in c/Environment yesterday. I bring that up to point you over to that thread, where @Powderhorn@beehaw.org had some great insights into why this move is more regressive than it sounds.

Why does the title focus on 3D pipes specifically?

The developer kicked off a screen saver contest among the Windows OpenGL team, with 3D Pipes being one of the entries alongside 3D Maze, 3D Text, and 3D Flying Objects. The team was supposed to vote for a single winner to be included with Windows NT 3.5, but when a person on Microsoft’s marketing team saw them, he said, “You can call off the vote. We’re adding all of them to the product!”

I feel like I hear about 3D Maze way more when people are reminiscing about old screensavers. Just sorta weird titling
