"Artificial Intelligence" doesn't actually want anything. It has no agency. Meta/Facebook wants to sell you stuff while the world burns, but that's nothing new.

If you can't, it's probably because no one's tried yet. (30x30 display's pretty small, though, so I don't know how playable it would be.)
Not unless they're complete boneheads (which, admittedly, is not impossible). If they do that, they effectively lose embed-video-in-external-sites functionality, and that might just be enough for unpaid content creators to dump the platform en masse and cause their effective monopoly to crumble. The content creators who are actually making decent money may never leave entirely, but if another viable platform comes into existence, I bet most of them would mirror to it.
No extension—even Netscape 1.0 had most of this stuff built in. I use Pale Moon as a primary browser, but the settings required still exist in modern Firefox, under General > Language and Appearance > Contrast Control and General > Language and Appearance > Fonts > Advanced. Note that although the font labels may say "Serif" etc., Pale Moon at least doesn't care what you put there—you can set "Serif" to a sans font if you like, or vice-versa.
Of the Chrome-based browsers I have lying around for work and emergency purposes, Vivaldi has the font settings under Webpage, but doesn't have full webpage colour settings (although you can force a dark theme, which might be enough). Chromium has the font settings under Appearance > Customize Fonts, but lacks anything that looks like useful colour settings.
If you're looking for browser extensions that will restore the colour-forcing functionality for Chrome-based browsers, "Accessibility" is one category to look under.
Like what are the drug cops even supposed to do now, arrest Facebook?
We can only hope.
My browser is set to override the colour scheme of all pages I visit. It breaks the odd site that doesn't know how to present image content correctly, but I consider that an acceptable tradeoff. It also forces a specific font and minimum font size.
There actually is a myth in circulation in some places that China's electrical vehicle tech is somehow advanced over everyone else's (my father got sucked in by that one). Tearing one apart is one way to counter that.
The question for me isn't whether or not there's a difference that I might be able to see if I were paying attention to the picture quality, it's whether the video quality is sufficiently bad to distract me from the content. And only hypercompressed macroblocked-to-hell-and-back ancient MPEG1 files or multiply-recopied VHS tapes from the Dark Ages are ever that bad for me. In general, I'm perfectly happy with 480p. Of course, I might just have a higher-than-average immunity to bad video. (Similarly, I can spot tearing if I'm looking for it, but I do have to be looking for it.)
On top of that we shouldn’t distribute compiled binaries for the x86 and ia64 chipsets; instead program code should be distributed like .wasm, in a hardware-independent way, and compiled on the target device. That would enable that hardware can use any chipset it wants and there are no software incompatibilities because of it.
You're describing Gentoo Linux . . . which is not especially popular among Linux distributions even though it runs on just about anything. There may be a reason for that.
The thought of how the computer would react to me telling my cat to get down off the desk is . . . both amusing and disturbing.
I HAVE broken discs in similar sets (Mr. Robot, Planet of the Apes) taking them out of those awful cases
So someone actually came up with something worse than the Scanavo DVD cases (on the grounds that I never actually broke a disc taking it out of a Scanavo case, just thought I was going to)? That's . . . brutal.

For what it's worth, Pale Moon can still be built for 32-bit Linux ( fish through contributed builds, or build your own). Sufficient for many, many sites, although a few will break or require workarounds.
