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.
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.
No, I mean titanium level backer of the project. What does being on Lemmy matter?
Yes blocking major backers is bad, I agree with that. The mod behind this kind of sounds unpleasant too.
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.
