Will he be perplexed when his browser fails?
And I’m happy to let this bro know. I will never use your product. Go suck a cows nipple. Ya bitch.
Thats it im only browsing gopher from now on.
Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.
I can’t speak for anyone else but no, I would not be fine with that
I don’t know what Perplexity is but I know I don’t want it.
Let me guess, two guys in a garage, both Linked In "CEO"s, strapping more spyware to Chromium?
I even went to the website. It doesn’t what they are, but it’s something to do with AI, which figures…
inb4 they try to take control of Chromium
Damn, you’d really think these bozos would have learned to read a room by now, you know?
Nearly half of the country is dumb enough to support Trump. I think he is reading the room.
Never use Perplexity, got it.
I’m old, I don’t browse the web on my phone, anyway.
And I used to recommend it to people over ChatGPT. 😭 Because it doesn’t require you to log in. Enshittification really is everywhere now.
I’m just shocked Motorola is still ticking along, making cell phones.
They make some solid devices
I’m morbidly curious as to how well they could do trying to get my profoundly cheap self to spend money.
Ads should be illegal
while I hate ads as much as everyone else what do you propose funds all the sites people use that are high in operating costs? I doubt many people will pay five bucks a month for every site they use. The internet will just be more retro, which I think would be fine.
Brave had a novel solution, but I think it’s mostly dead now.
So should subtractions!
Very cool stuff, Mr. Technofascist!
Fuck that guy sucking my time with his ads. If I want to buy a ladder I’ll go online, or go to the store and buy one. Once all this world ending shit dies down let’s get rid of “advertising” as an economic concept. We don’t need any more socio/economic engineering, we need humanity and ecology.
i think some form of advertising is useful no matter the structure of your society: if you have a cool idea for a new product, getting the word out is an important way of making it a reality
what we don’t need is the constant, and ever-present repetitive drone of advertising mundane things that you already know about
Ads after you buy a ladder: “Yes, you’ve had one ladder, but what about a second ladder?”
Based on your former shopping, here’s what other shoppers have looked.
Welcome to real life: advertisement is seen as filth. People might tolerate it in exchange for something else, but being “targetted” doesn’t make them less filthy; on the contrary, once you get how it’s being targetted at the expense of your privacy, comparing it with dog shit becomes unfair - because dog shit is less worse.
As such I want to see Perplexity bankrupt.
So is this another tech-bro sniffing his own farts, or does he have some plan to force the browser on people?
Edit: After reading the article, it’s both.
He’s basically talking about toppling google in terms of ads and saying that users will be fine with the tracking because the ads will be more relevant. There’s also a Motorla partnership and it will come pre-installed on their Razr series. There is talks of one with Samsung as well, and they would have zero issue forcing that browser on their customers as long as they get a copy of the data.
That is one major reason I will no longer use a phone that doeent let me easily uninstall their garbage. It is all spyware.
