Just do it. People are so numbed to the idea of their data being sold that you’re probably not going to get much money out of it.

If it costs the NYT money and buys the workers some bargaining power, I’m all for it.

It’s extremely disappointing to me (admittedly in the US) that Covid seems to have obliterated any chance for a large-scale investigation on payment processors’ stranglehold on our financial systems. The fees that Visa/Mastercard/etc. charge, especially for tiny merchants with insanely low transaction numbers, are criminal.

Because it makes it harder for advertisers to mine and sell your data. That’s it.

I know. I was devastated when I first watched it, because I was so sure it was going to pass…

Also, if interested, check out this documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Factory. Has a lot of interesting crosstalk between Chinese/American views on work and business.

Also, I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to install any other browser on iPhones unless you get root.

Edit: It looks like you can with iOS 15.0

Turns out the people who write the laws have an interest in making sure that the maximums for these crimes are low.

Deep-fried LLMs.

Moving towards something doesn’t imply that cars are being obliterated or banned. Funnily enough, whenever I’m in an unpleasant altercation with a driver, they tend to have plates from far away. If they want to drive their cars out in the country, they can do so - when you’re in a dense urban area (which is the most sustainable way to arrange people), you can park and get on the subway with the rest of us.

We should be.

The problem is that fandom tends to vacuum up and supersede the smaller wikis, and the SEO bullshit just makes it happen even faster. The answer to your question unfortunately is “it depends on the game/show/fandom”.

Generally, the ones who understand the numbers are making enough that they don’t feel as fucked over. In my experience, anyway

Idk, I’m starting to think that the shamelessness of bragging to your employees that you’re fucking them over is worse. At the very least, the employees should feel insulted that they’re supposed to be excited about it.

Good point!

The surrounding context of that statement is talking about the app, not the protocol. From the Apple user’s perspective, they see no difference except for the bubble color.

But the statement made is not incorrect. I agree that a note that it’s because the conversation switches to S/MMS would be handy, but they’re not incorrect.

(When photos and videos are sent to an Android user through iMessage), (Android users receive lower-quality photos and videos [via being downgraded to SMS/MMS).

Telling that you think being blocked is a good thing. You’re not harassing me, you’re not trying to dox me, you’re just being annoying and bad at sarcasm. Hence, you’re not worth blocking. But you’re certainly also not worth talking to.

You prefer to communicate with people who assume you’re being sarcastic? That’s kinda weird. I prefer to communicate with people who take my words at face value. You’re not worth blocking.

If you want me to understand your sarcasm, maybe put a modicum of effort into communicating it :)
