The worst possible antitrust outcome

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-11 08:29:13

Today's links The worst possible antitrust outcome (permalink) Well, fuck. Last year, Google lost an antitrust case to Biden's DoJ. The DoJ lawyers beat Google like a drum, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Google had deliberately sought to create and maintain a monopoly over search, and that they'd used that monopoly to make search materially worse, while locking competitors out of the market. In other words, the company that controls 90% of search attained that control by ill

This checklist will walk you (and me) through the settings and extensions I use to improve my privacy when using Firefox. If you’re looking for a web browser that offers a high degree of privacy out of the box with minimal setup, Brave is a common choice. However, I prefer Firefox for several reasons: Firefox is developed by the nonprofit organization Mozilla. I value Mozilla’s commitment to open source software. Firefox is not based on Chromium.

Web Bot Auth is an authentication method that leverages cryptographic signatures in HTTP messages to verify that a request comes from an automated bot. Web Bot Auth is used as a verification method for verified bots and signed agents. It relies on two active IETF drafts: a directory draft ↗ allowing the crawler to share their public keys, and a protocol draft ↗ defining how these keys should be used to attach crawler's identity to HTTP requests.

A simple typo of ghcr.io to ghrc.io would normally be a small goof. You’d typically get a 404 or similar error, finally work out the issue, fix it, and move along.
