Anyone that cares about privacy and uses Instagram won't care about this. It's not a good thing for Meta to do this but the last two+ decades has demonstrated people prefer to be ignorant and accept whatever comes. Let them eat cake and rot. I tire of being called paranoid because I know how all this can be abused.
Haven't you heard? Accessibility is woke, and the institutions that are supposed to protect it are being dismantled. I wouldn't be counting on those lawsuits going anywhere personally.
Google has already been crippling the audio CAPTCHA access for many years. If your trust score is low enough, the visual challenge is ridiculously slow and noisy, and pressing the audio challenge button will just give you an error saying "To protect our users, we can't process your request right now", accessibility be damned. Where are the lawsuits? I want to believe there are still forces that would create hell to pay for doing something so evil, but I'm not seeing any.
I don't get how Samba is not there yet. We already have everything in the OS, the UI, the mental model, the protocols, how come it's such a terrible experience that we need to re-invent the wheel in web 2.0.. Maybe we need a Jarred Sumner to fix it.
Samba has never been about file sharing over the internet. The project has been about cleanroom-reverse-engineering specific MS technology. To start it was NT4 authentication domains, then printing services, along the way SMBv1 (commonly incorrectly called CIFS btw), then SMBv2 v3.x, and then in 2012 Samba Active Directory.
In no way has it ever been about a functional alternative to something like Nextcloud. It's been about services primarily for LAN functionality, not stuff that should be going over the internet (mostly for security reasons).
So your expectations really don't align with what Samba has ever been about.

YouTube recommendations are very well tuned for me. You need to mark videos "not interested" and downvote stuff you don't actually like, as well as stopping videos when you've decided you're not interested. This and other aspects WILL improve your recommended feed. So if your recommended feed sucks, well that's on you there bud, you can influence it completely.
Do you use youtube intending to be drawn into watching things you never intended to watch? I don't want a feed but the people operating these sites do not care that they are destroying people's time. Go to twitter, click on "following". Next time you sign in, somehow it's on "For you" (the algorithmic feed).
Thankfully on Youtube I can completely disable recommendations on the site and I use it purely as a source of information, not as a dopamine addiction funnel.
I just get the same videos recommended over and over. I liked it when the YT feed would recommend stuff new and different i might find interesting. Now its just hyperoptimized to get me to click on ads.
Right, but unless the parking spots are extra spacious, or your car is extra small, you won't be able to park your cart next to your trunk, and you have to ferry the contents of the cart from the front of your car to the trunk.
