  • Food safety recalls. Source/relevance would depend on your country. Not sure that it meets the criteria for "great", but I found it better than hoping that relevant recalls would make it to a new source I read.

  • We put so much important information/data through browsers (and smart phones for that matter), and it is becoming hard to trust third party code running on either. Trust in the publisher has become mandatory for me and the only browser plugin I run now is Bitwarden. Neither the app store operators nor the browser publishers seem to have an answer for reliably thwarting malicious actors. I don't know what the answer is, other than developing literacy in writing browser plugins and adding functionality through my own code.

  • Unmoderated user generated nsfw forums were (are?) a beacon for dubious to illegal content. I forget the specifics, but didn't Pornhub have to pivot from accepting a firehose of free user submitted content after failing to moderate sufficiently? User generated nsfw + free just seems like an impossible balance.

  • I don't think the option to put some subreddits behind a paywall is necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully the federated link aggregators are in a better place now to absorb another exodus if reddit does scare off a bunch.

  • I thought Bitwarden was focused on migrating to native mobile apps. Haven't followed closely since the beta started rolling out, but perhaps some of the quality of life issues will be taken care of with that process over?

  • I like the preferred list concept. I also didn't hate when lemmy world used a bot on news subs to post the media source's political leaning and overall credibility to every submission. Many disagreed with the bot's source of information, but what if every submission here got an automatic pinned **This source lacks consistent credibility because reasons... ** type post with you maintaining the list/assessment the bot draws from?

    Between moderation of the worst of the worst and a strong disclaimer on dubious sources, it might help visitors gain better media literacy.

  • Who would realistically buy Chrome that wouldn't degrade the consumer experience?

    Also, would Google lose incentive to target the web entirely with its properties? In other words, what happens to the web if Google's focus shifts entirely to Android?

  • If safer is a realistic outcome, perhaps things would further evolve. Ride share cars today are dual-use vehicles that typically carry driver + no passenger or driver + one passenger with the capacity for 3-5. If future autonomous ride share cars turn out to be dedicated to ride share, maybe most would end up being 3-wheel with just one or two seats. Shrinking the size of a substantial potion of cars on urban roads could be beneficial to road safety, power/carbon intensity, road capacity/density (which could also lead to more equitable road use for bikes and pedestrians).

  • I feel that /r/programming lost a lot of volume and intensity following the API protest drama. This community seemed like a beneficiary. Even anecdotally though, I sit in a couple of language discord servers and engagement seems lower than it was a couple of years ago.
