If I don't have the ability to control which CAs I trust, things become useless fast. This is why I fully ditched chomeOS.

Google: wants to push their browser based DRM, to which they would inevitably be the ultimate controller of, in the name of "safety".

Also Google: intentionally kneecaps the existing certificate system which is the main safety system of the web.

Gee, I wonder if the two are connected.

I heard this on the radio yesterday. Secretly ruthless is a good way to describe Google.

SHAPIRO: OK. So big picture on this anniversary, 25 years in, if you could describe Google's legacy in a sentence, what would that be?

PATEL: Secretly ruthless.

SHAPIRO: Oh, that's rough. Wow. Secretly ruthless - that's even less than a sentence. Give me a little bit more. Why do you say secretly ruthless?

PATEL: Google has convinced everyone that it is this incredibly sincere and earnest company - that it's just a bunch of goofballs making cool things. That is true. But I think if we just paid a little more attention to where Google's money comes from - and it is almost entirely advertising - I think we would be able to see the company and its influence a little bit more clearly. But the truth is, it is an utterly ruthless advertising company that is very, very, very successful at delivering results to its clients.

SHAPIRO: But Nilay, you didn't mention how cute the Google doodles are.

PATEL: Yeah, the - I understand. They're very cute.

I freaking love the new updates!!

I love it when I can't manage my own SSL certificates, even as root

I love not being to use the fucking McDonalds app on a rooted device

Web environment integrity is so great! It's incredible that my rooted tablet will be locked out of lots of websites since I'm not using AUTHORIZED chrome on an AUTHORIZED device

It's so awesome that adblock will stop working in most Chromium-based browsers

LIKE WTF I JUST GOT A PIXEL NOW YOU NEED TO RUIN IT?
