reduce ads and pop-up interruptions
Or they could just … Idk … Not put that shit in there in the first place?

From the article, it seems like it isn’t overriding preferences if you have it set in the app. Looks like it’s an analytics thing in the backend at the moment. Of course, I wouldn’t put it past them to eventually require ID if your settings don’t match their prediction.
Not really, but I have 18 months to migrate all my shit away from there. I’ve already moved a lot of my critical stuff to FOSS software running under win10 and I’m more than passing familiar with Linux. Shouldn’t be a massive deal.
Decided to throw OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on an old laptop the other day. Haven’t fooled with it enough to run up against any limitations yet, but I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised so far.
This is also the company that promises to prioritise the vehicle occupants over pedestrians.
Considering how much of Reddit is already bots, I’m sure this will end fantastically.
It’s plausible. Could have been a low-effort typosquatting site loaded with porn ads.
This is about control. If you’re forced to upload ID, the government instantly has a watch list of people and associated sites. Then there’s the flexibility of the definition of porn. Once the legislation is in, anything regarding sex, sexuality, or gender education gets quietly reclassified. Because you know, to these people being anything but straight is inherently pornographic. Then you have a watch list of potential LGBT+ people and allies to harass.
I like self checkout as a concept. I don’t like the implementation or what it stands for.
I’m studying at the moment, so I do a -lot- of research. A tablet + stylus is perfect for me for taking notes on top of lecture slides and reading / annotating pdfs. A folding form factor would be really useful for me, so I wouldn’t have to carry around a second device.
I do see your point regarding it becoming gimmicky, but I feel like it’d be useful for arranging windows and jump positions. I can also see a “Now where did I put thing X?” situation arising and it’d be handy to get an overview.
I really, really like this. To add some complexity can I suggest being able to zoom out and in as well?
They exist.
This reeks of astroturfing. I guarantee you the people behind it do not give a fuck about whales or marine life in general. They’re the same ones spilling crude oil on the great barrier reef.
This guy is speedrunning enshittification.
This is scarily believable.
Yes. And? You think they care? Premium isn’t there to benefit you, it’s there to benefit Google. As soon as the money stops coming in, they’ll look for other ways to squeeze it. We’re already seeing it with streaming providers shoehorning ads into their paid services. It’s not that much of a stretch.
I give it a year, tops, before they start serving ads in premium too.
