Mozilla officially opposes Web Enviroment Integrity API (DRM for web pages proposal from Google)

If they can get it on iPhone, it's game over.

While this is true, I struggle to understand how Apple would stand to gain from implementing this unless it had already become a widespread standard. It's also an opportunity for more privacy focused marketing if they oppose it, just like they do with government attempts to force them to implement backdoors into iOS.

Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them

Reply in thread

Any script or service you used can only access the most recent 1000 comments in your history.

Shortly before I had enough, I got a call from my Mom that she had received a letter saying there was a bench warrant for my arrest over the fine

The fact that they are too old to show up in your profile is WHY it can't delete them. The only way to delete those automatically is to feed in a GDPR data request into a tool like Shreddit that supports getting its comment list from that source rather than the profile.
