They literally said that since at least January of this year: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/google-chrome-upgrade-planned...

They know it's anti-consumer. They see that the YouTube push is actually causing people to install more, smarter ad blockers. I myself have finally got around to setting up pihole. "We're serious, by 2027 your adblocker will be toast" whatever, if you think we're still using the browser to block ads, you grossly misunderstood your userbase.

Meh, I never worked with that recruiter before. Turns out they have a policy that if you quit without a 2 weeks notice you're black listed which to be fair makes a lot of sense. But I didn't just get a call about a new job, it was a previous boss I really respect starting up a new company.

I worked for TMobile for 4 days in 2021. I don't usually apply to big companies but money was tight because pandemic and I needed a job quick. I was assigned to work on the config server (think in-house developed consul or etcd) and it was awful. "If this specific config value is being set by Service A then what is actually written should be twice the given value, but if Service B is reading the value, return 1/3 of the value as an HTTP form body instead of JSON." By Thursday I got a call about a new position and I left so quick that the recruiters black listed me. TMobile getting hacked is a "when" not an "if"

Yeah, and I'm frustratingly tired that Microsoft Teams wants to remind me that I'm muted. I mute myself so I can say things to people in the room and not be heard online but this little narcissist can only imagine a world where I'm talking to it.
