This will get funny once they try to ship it to Germany, because you’re legally allowed to do pretty much everything with your device - as long as it’s legally yours.

my bad, completely forgot to remove that debugging code…
I don’t think that not giving Google a list of all domains you’re visiting is just "little bit", it sounds like a whole lot :)
Twitter and Reddit both want to get profitable fast - which doesn’t work, as both companies have never been profitable and don’t have any experience with actually making money.
The reasons behind this are different (Elon just wants to make some money after he bought Twitter, Reddit wants to be somewhat presentable for an IPO), but the effects are similar and make me question if we’re at the end of the "free corporate social media" era of the internet.
Discord has two possible reasons for that specific change. For one it wants to get more mainstream and therefore loses parts of what made it special as a social network (e.g. the special username system).
I also think Discord (over-)reacts to its spam/scam problem here and tries to make usernames more distinctive.
Don’t know how this is related to FOSS or Linux at all. It is not free of charge/free software and I don’t get why a site called "itsfoss" is even writing about it.
That’s the ultimate goal, I guess.
GG to you.
