They're mainly conservatives and trolls who are lying and pretending to make jokes.

Conservatives have been doing this for a long time, they think they're being subtle and tricking people into thinking they're serious. It's built on the classic idea they have that everyone secretly agree with them, and they use things like political compass memes to try and convince people it's okay to say it out loud. But they never seem to realize that most people don't "say it out loud" because they don't agree.

TL;DR: They're stupid people who think they're really smart. And it's sad to see them flailing around and drooling at the mouth while thinking they're Machiavelli.

Come on now, we all know the three of them are pedos, but Popes greet thousands of people or more like this every year. The prolific ones sometimes did over ten thousand a year, as it's literally seconds.

I would be more interested in knowing more about the person or people who set up the meeting.

So this is why google is actually seeing some support in their new proposal.

Who needs encryption when you have your Governement Issued and Officially Licensed and DRM locked browser that forces you to watch ads between every click or you can't use the online-only services.

I'm guessing that probably violates some app store rule.

At this point it has to be intentional from these companies.

Because some basic data analysis should show that while the majority of content are comments and shorter posts made from mobile devices, but posts with self-created media beyond meme-templates, longer text posts, etc. tend to be more from computers. And more extensive moderation also often comes from desktop.

The people putting forth these suggestions never really leave their airconditioned place of work, cars, homes, and rarely hotels or vacation homes. They are usually unaffected by floods, tornadoes, storms, fires, etc.

And republicans live by the creed that if it's not directly impacting themselves it is either not real, or if it is, it's not that serious.

Maybe they turned the noisemaker around?

Although at that point you might as well do the old "hang a tennis ball from a string" trick.

While true that they're not polluting for fun, many corporations will try to avoid any anti-pollution measure that will lose them money. To the point where they spend billions of dollars every year to lobby governements, enviromental protection organizations, and drag out regulations with lawsuits. Because in the long run it's usually worth it for them to pollute, as long as the investors see enough profits in the short term.

I think they're trying to implement a sort of "smart prediction" thing, where it assumes that if you go back the link you clicked wasn't relevant. And so it tries to remove closely related results. Which works the opposite if you get two results from the same page and you click the wrong one. Which makes looking up technical or programming related issues a nightmare.

With the TL;DR being: Google/Alphabet wants to more easily block non-chrome browsers ability to use their services, and prevent the use of adblocking.

Which also means that many people using accessability tools will be unable to access them. And they are trying to get Firefox to implement it as well, so they don't take all the blame when shit hits the fan and they start getting multi-billion dollar monopoly fines from the EU.
