So. Niece and nephew are going for the ol’ aunt. She can take them easily… For now

Oh no. This is terrifying.

I don’t have an issue with win 11 since I disabled the ads. But these news smell like new and unnecessary “advancements”, to make it more marketable. They’ll ruin it completely…

Of course this is true. But I don’t think corporations die that way. More likely they will keep going with this culture, firing more/getting fewer employees, their product will get shittier and shitter, and more competition will fill the gaps, until they fight with one for the monopoly.

All this somewhere near the unsuspecting pirates 😅

I use YouTube too. But I’m not satisfied with the recommendation system - at all.

That’s cool, I’m on Android and PC. But I don’t think I’ll go that way. I want to let Spotify die after these more than red flags.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that.

For the last couple of years I’ve been “flirting” with Spotify. It would offer me 3 months of premium for the price of one, I would take it and cancel immediately so I don’t forget.

Then lived the happy pirate life for six months or so, and Spotify would come in with the offer. Last time the price was higher but I said what the hell…

Now with this post I was about to uninstall, but I read some comments about services that transfer your playlists, so first things first :))

Nor evidence, for that matter

In the past month I noticed ads inside Viber desktop (it’s used a lot here, instead of WhatsApp)

Later I got a call from a friend that his windows defender picked up a trojan in Viber files… Next day I got it too.

I shit you not, they let out an update with malware, on a popular chat app. I uninstalled and got the next update, with blind trust, I can’t migrate atm…

Robots.txt is a compliance standard afaik, more like an advisory guide. It cannot enforce bans on scrapers, it sets some polite boundaries for the website.

OMG, Blizzard?! How could they?!? -.-

More like “Bless some homes, over others”

I miss my niche communities, but I don’t have my app anymore soooo. Tough for me, tougher for spez.

Or after the extras.

I’m sure there’s some loophole there, maybe between countries’ laws. And if there isn’t, Hey! We’ll make one!

I’m shocked and I shouldn’t be… Poor people

I noticed a delay on Opera with uBlock. I attributed it to invisible fights between the adblock and youtube. But idk if that’s relevant, I think Opera GX is chromium based.

Seems accurate. Really repulsive.

Generally he gives me the impression that he gaslit society into believing in his success and intellect.

Back? From where? looks around to make sure that in same place

You know, “securities” or… whatever. …
