@Daojoan "scared of AI" as in "scared of mold". Like mold, it's not going to become sentient and eat us all. But also like mold, it has a tendency to spoil previously good things, and my preferred amount of it in my (information) diet is zero with very few, carefully selected exceptions. Those exceptions, or the bries among the internet mold that is AI, are things like automatic transcription or translation.

@mntmn I wrote to that address about some major logistical questions of a big art installation I'm planning to bring like, a month ago, and I didn't get a response yet.

@gravitos I don't believe firefox is the perfect browser. There is always room to improve. It's just a lot better than chrome, and more importantly, aligned with it's users interests. Sometimes the second worst option is all we've got.

I'm using the API from https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/6cf344c02b1bcf07114d512ee389894239416007/chrome/test/data/android/environment_integrity.html#L4 here, if you know a better way to detect the presence of the feature, please go ahead and tell me :)

Since it seems #Google has decided to uni-laterally force through their new anti-#adblock #DRM euphemistically named "Web environment integrity", I decided to add a little bit of code to my website that blanks out the page and displays a protest message with a link to the firefox download page when you visit it from a browser with this DRM feature. Here's the source inside one toot, feel free to copy and put it at the end of your website's <body> before the closing tag:

<script>if(navigator.getEnvironmentIntegrity!==undefined)document.querySelector('body').innerHTML='<h1>Your browser contains Google DRM</h1>"Web Environment Integrity" is a Google euphemism for a DRM that is designed to prevent ad-blocking. In support of an open web, this website does not function with this DRM. Please install a browser such as <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/">Firefox</a> that respects your freedom and supports ad blockers.';</script>

@Spacehuhn I think a part of the negative effects of the system on open source is that it messes up the metrics people use to gauge success. A successful open source project is perceived to need many users and a pathway to commercialization, while in a healthy open source ecosystem unmonitizable semi-bespoke niche software might be just as valuable, perhaps because there is nothing else and its handful of users really, really appreciate it, or perhaps for the educational value in its design.
