I really hope some team has been following the changes in Chrome/Chromium by Google to remove Manifest v2, and has been keeping a patchset that will undo the damage? Time to make a hard fork and get some funding to try to keep it going?
This is scary indeed. We may someday soon need something like an active tattoo on our face, or a badge on clothing, with a pattern that changes each second based on a private/public key pair, so videos can't be easily faked of our own likeness with a valid visual signature.
That could actually work -- a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature. It could be validated to certify the video of a person was genuine.
Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(
What's old is new again: "The Mechanical Turk".
Isn't there a term for what they're doing, wasting the court's time? And a penalty for it? I think it's called 'Barratry'.
How can they NOT see, and not be frightened, that by not holding him accountable, they are literally opening up the possibility that he will dissolve the SCOTUS on his "day one" of being dictator? That would be ironic and I wouldn't put it past him.
...until Google kills the feature, as they nearly always do.
Upvote for mentioning tit-for-tat. There has been a lot of research on the iterated prisoner's dilemma, and as I recall the winning strategy determined by many experiments showed that over time, the 'nice tit-for-tat' strategy gets the highest score. It may lose out in an individual interaction, but over time, sticking to it is the best long-term strategy.
However this does mean if one is a grifter and fully expects never to interact with the other (victim) party again... there's less incentive to use such a strategy.
Would you consider AntennaPod instead? It has been good for my podcast listening (audio only, no idea actually if it handles video ones).
Ladyhawke, Conan..
Yeah. And whenever anyone says "Oh the music companies would never let these old recordings die, it's their bread and butter!" I give them this story.
We cannot trust our cultural heritage to any one entity.

If you go to New Zealand, you'll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they'll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they've been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever's left).
