Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.

    Idk why the heck you just got downvoted into oblivion for pointing out the irony in google calling this a “privacy feature.” Good old reddit moment it seems.

          He thinks he’s getting bot downvoted, but there’s actually people invested enough to stalk him. Cute.

          See WarmSoda!? This is why I shouldn’t have stopped. People ask this question, your advice was wrong! I’m going to continue what I was doing before you called me stupid.

          edit: The link points to lemmy.world which is intermittently getting DDOS’ed.


          Please ignore my negative initial vote score, as I have the privilege of being bot-downvoted by CCP sympathizers because of comments on this post https://lemmy.world/post/2338419, there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole.
