No, the scandal they got caught up in was basically if you typed “Coinbase” into the search bar it would suggest the autocomplete response for their affiliate link to Coinbase, it wasn’t limited to just coinbase however, and it wasn’t a forced redirect, just didn’t pass the sniff test, and while that doesn’t mean it’s bad or malicious, that also doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good.

It just happens to be the best solo solution on the application layer that works well with other complimentary services on other layers to fit my good enough criteria for now based on the hardware I currently have available to me.

When I get a different phone (read as migrated off of Apple [current] and Google [past] phone OS’s) I will reevaluate my mobile opsec and most likely chose from the other solutions available on the platform of my choice.

This is why I don’t fuck guys who “don’t pay attention to politics”.

That means one thing, and it isn’t that they are blissfully unaware of the day to day happenings in their town, county, state, region, country, or planet of residence.

I’m certain that Jagex wasn’t necessarily doing that out of the kindness of their hearts. RuneScape community sites have had a history of advertisements that border on malware at worst, are paid phishing attempts at best, and benevolently full of grey market account services and real world trading platforms.

Best case scenario was them hosting the platform to protect the integrity of their game, and the community.

Not to distract from the good move that it was, of course.

Backfired on them, the whole OSRS community was intentionally searching for things in google and using the “official” wiki results to bury fandom, then the game devs themselves added a wiki button into the game.

I don’t care what their rationale was, it’s to claim you own intellectual property that other people wrote for you. If I write a story, and post an excerpt to someone else’s website that doesn’t immediately confer copyright or IP ownership of that to the website owner.

Even more so when the information that is your IP is copied word for word from another companies IP and iterated on by a third party to qualify for fair use.

Brave browser is the best solution I’ve found for my mobile workflow. Doesn’t help when the app opens the website link using the native in app browser, though.

Here’s what my actual mobile web browser displays

Thank you for the suggestion, thankfully the imgur hosting was built into memmy so I had no hoops to jump through, basically just click the image button and pick the image.

I’ll certainly implement that when I have more granular control of the process though.

It goes into even more detail than that.

OSRS wiki should be a case study on good documentation policies.

I originally tried posting a picture, but I think my instance dropped support for right now because of the recent attacks.

Edit: I got the picture posted for those who don’t want phone cancer.

Tell me the irony isn’t lost on anyone else that this website article about users being frustrated by min maxing profits and inorganic design language is designed exactly like the kind of site that they are talking about.

I was just trying to remember when the old school RuneScape community got off fandom.

Fandom wouldn’t let them nuke the wiki because they claimed to own the IP that was the crowdsourced information that filled it.

Fuck fandom, i refuse to use them.

Not nearly tin foil hat enough /s

Or you mistimed the Balmer Peak managed to do an ungodly amount of progress, forgot to comment in any meaningful way, and the next day try to go through all the changes you did and figure out what the Fuck your were on about, and how this thing works when it seems it really shouldn’t.
