The app automatically installs Bing Visual Search and includes code to decrypt cookies saved in other browsers, Rivera said, and it also brings a “free” geolocation web API to the system.

The developer discovered “many” nasty tricks Microsoft integrated in Bing Wallpapers, which include trying to change the browser’s settings and set Edge as the default system browser. If the default browser isn’t Edge, the app will open the default browser after some time asking to enable the previously installed Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome extension.

            Point to a comment where I show support for nazis. Strawman arguments is all you have to defend your points. Once again you fail to formulate an objective argument.

            Yes, I get downvoted a lot on Lemmy, yet nobody seems to be able to say why I’m wrong on these issues. Users of Lemmy resort to downvoting when they can’t defend their arguments. It is a fact that humans are more eager to show their disapproval than approval for something, like in restaurant reviews, where the only people who bother to leave a review are those with bad experiences.

            Also, I’d be wary of basing your opinion explicitly off what other people think. You need to formulate your own thoughts if you want to retain some sort of identity.

      You realize it’s open source and you don’t need their blessing to use it right?

      You’re not entitled to force people to deal with you being a raging jackass.

        Yes, everyone knows that. What they did is banned developer accounts, thus preventing you from contributing to it.

        You’re not entitled to force people to deal with you being a raging jackass.

        There it is. The community of inclusion once again unable to express their thoughts without insulting people. Almost comical, but I guess there’s nothing funny about hypocrisy.

          They banned “developer” accounts who were being incredibly disruptive throwing a tantrum about the social media account celebrating games with a wide variety of perspectives. I don’t think there’s any actual evidence for them banning a single person who ever did anything useful, but it doesn’t actually matter. They aren’t obligated to let you be in their community.

          Don’t behave like a raging jackass and you won’t be called one. I’m not obligated to ignore bad behavior either. It’s perfectly OK to call bad people behaving badly bad people.

            Sure, if by not doing anything useful you mean donating money to the project, and saying that the project should focus on the project [1].

            They aren’t obligated to let you be in their community

            Beautiful statement.

            Don’t behave like a raging jackass and you won’t be called one. I’m not obligated to ignore bad behavior either. It’s perfectly OK to call bad people behaving badly bad people.

            The fact is the mass banning was not justified, and people were not being “raging jackass”, no matter how many times you call them that. There’s a reason Godot apologized for the incident, yet you fail to see that.

              Donating money doesn’t give you free rein to be an asshole, and shockingly, their donations went way up when they removed the trash.

              They elected to decide that some of the people being jackasses didn’t technically violate their community guidelines and apologized, but that doesn’t mean that there was a single person who was banned who didn’t deserve it. Yes, jumping on a bandwagon of unforgivable horseshit without technically saying a banned thing still makes you a bad person, and yes, everyone they banned should have stayed banned.

                If you think he was being an asshole in that sentence, then I guess we’re done here.

          Funny how calling someone a jackass is “insulting” to you, but you treat bigotry like fair game.

            “Jackass” is indeed an insult, no need to put it between quotations. And here you accuse me of treating bigotry like fair game without proof. The truth is here Godot messed up and you aren’t willing to see that because it would expose you as a hypocrite. Remember Godot apologized for the incident, yet here you are defending it.

      You mean a few github accounts and a bunch of jerks on Discord, which you are bringing up on Lemmy?

      If anything this is just another repudiation of Discord as a whole. I hate how its eating the internet like mad cow disease.

          Yes blocking major backers is bad, I agree with that. The mod behind this kind of sounds unpleasant too.

          What does being on Lemmy matter?

          Discord is like the antithesis of Lemmy, a siloed off, inefficient, unscrapable, private, proprietary and dangerously monopolistic echo chamber. I’ve seen it swallow too many of my niches, and from my experience, it turns people into jerks.

          Hence what I’m getting at is that this may not have happened without all that nonsense in the unoffiical discord.
