A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Google is already forcing personalization on everybody anyway. Browse Youtube without an account and it'll look just the same as with an account. The only difference is that without an account you can't clear videos from your history or ignore channels, but the videos they list are still highly personalized on your watch history.
You have to actually clear and block cookies to get rid of personalization.
