- How to get Chrome to stop nagging you about enabling notifications for random websites. (The Next Web)
Problem is, this is stupid. The opposite to "Ask before sending" is "Don't ask before sending", not "Don't ask, don't send". There is no way a user would guess what turning this option off would actually do.
And that's if it works as this article suggests. If it doesn't work it's even worse.
- The problem with sneering at a senator pushing a silly bill to erase CDA 230 protections for saying that Silicon Valley is no longer innovative is that it's true. (TechDirt)
- C4 is a self-compiling C compiler and bytecode interpreter in 528 lines. Of C. (GitHub)
- Wrong kind of innovation! (Fast Company)
Is Silicon Valley building a totalitarian "social credit" system - or have they already?
- Google's new privacy sandbox has nothing to do with protecting your privacy. (EFF)
Advertisers are still entirely able to track you and match up ads to purchases. It's all about Google protecting their bottom line.
Disclaimer: That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. Particularly the aqueduct.

Chrome's garbage "don't pester me" setting: yes, it's horrible wording and yes, turning it off disables notifications.
Then some scumbags came up with a different way of nagging you about notifications that don't use the browser notification API (I assume, anyway. I spent some time figuring out how to break it to get Tom's Hardware to stop nagging me. I think I had to put them in the /etc/hosts black hole eventually.)
