Too hard to display their ads if people access their content via API. I am not going to be surprised at all if reddit soon announces features leaving the API or completely getting rid of it.

Doesn't Gmail still proxy images so that this kind of tracking doesn't work? Or do they have a way around this?

Honestly I really like using Telegram since I switched from WhatsApp and I actually would find it pretty neat if I could use Telegram to interact with some local merchants. Unfortunately I am in Canada and I've yet to see any merchants

Speaking of the shopping, it actually makes me curious how he has funded buying the food/essentials he needs to survive. I wish that was covered in the story. 4 years is quite a long time, I am not sure how he would be affording it all

I think people aren't realizing that the SponsorBlock tool also isn't just blocking sponsored segments. It also has options to skip other segments too such as intro segments, self promos, engagement badgering, etc... A couple exam

The UK had a similar problem where they let people under 18 get these surgeries and now they have cases of people suing the government because they regret the choices the government/parents allowed them to make before they were 18. It&

This is always the main problem with these things. It sounds like a small and maybe even could be argued as a "fair" set of regulations/laws to propose, but the problem is that it opens up the box and often the line of where

They usually have been pretty opposed to this kind of stuff in the past so I assume that will hold true for this case, especially considering their name "OpenMedia" kinda runs counter to this proposed change.

Isn't part of the problem here that a lot of the BLM donation money has gone to fund stuff like buying their big property? There have also been other scandals regarding misuse of the donation money and it has made many regional BLM gro

The common water fountain/bottle refill stations I've seen in buildings often are from the same company and they all use this kind of sensor. If I use my reusable bottle that is pretty clear it has no idea it's there and I ha

You've noticed Google Maps do this? I personally find Google will take the simpler routes even if sometimes a faster route comes up while driving. Sometimes on a longer drive I'll see it is showing a greyed out route I could take

Interesting, I will continue to use it as I think it still demonstrates the point. I have never in my life heard of a cookie being used in a racist way. I've heard crackers being used in racist ways though. Regardless it's a weird

The "why" can be more facts but it is not always. Sometimes people create opinions based on facts when a causation is not known. People also create factually incorrect opinions such as implying police are racist towards black peop

Honestly that it's a stupid comparison. In one case you're talking about an animal that is chaotic. Monkeys by nature are pretty wild and chaotic animal so that word makes sense. Your example doesn't make sense. Why would a t

What? I have never in my life heard of a damn cookie being called racist. That is insane. I am not going to be caution in the least with using that anaology. I am using a cookie to talk about how ridiculous things are and you're tellin

Yes, a lot of people would identify as a "black" person, but their skin colour would probably more accurately be called "brown". Personally I think the more correct term is African-American, but people choose to be offen

Cool, bye, thanks for your worthwhile contribution to the site? I don't get the point of your comment, just leave, I don't need to hear an announcement from you. You came at me saying "List me some “racist things being said a

If you read the conversation I did stop having discussion with them and told them to stop having a discussion with me. Facts don't always tell a story or explain the "why". Often times you have to form an opinion based on the

Very good points! These are the same kind of points I have tried to bring up to commenters on Reddit before and I get called racist and told I don't understand. Of course they never try to help me "understand" whatever their

Don't worry they will let you know you're privileged again to explain why you don't get the mental gymnastics required to make sense of this crap. So much of the stuff I hear groups like BLM say is very far from being true an

Unfortunately you did raise some fair points but I'm on HackerNews looking for constructive conversations without sly jabs and insults. > This is true in most of the world, but the US particularly has an especially racially-charged

You didn't correct me on anything. You called me privileged based on a weird assumption you somehow drew from what I've said. Regardless of what my current status may be or what you think it may be it's not very relevant. Bec

So here I am talking about someone dismissing what someone says by calling them privileged and boom, one of them shows up! What did this contribute to the conversation? Good job you got your jab in calling me privileged in a conversation wh

Oh yes, groups like Asians are being heavily targeted yet they get almost zero attention. We even saw the case at Yale where Asian and White students were being doc'ed points on admissions. There is even research showing how in many di

I pretty much avoid platforms like TikTok and Twitter because of these kinds of things. I've even seen sections of TikToks with people pretty clearly faking mental disorders for attention. It's honestly kinda sad. I guess I am kin

Yes exactly. Either you're "with" the mob or you're getting mobbed. The word police and thought police are in full force on sites like Twitter and reddit now.

It's not that it is a personal attack, it's more that I expect more talk about the actual architecture and infrastructure behind the topic versus making it a political topic. I didn't notice them providing any statistics in r
