What about languages that don’t have an equivalent to “the Xs” for decades or centuries? Also, 1799 is obviosly more than 1700, as well as 1701 > 1700 – why should the naming convention tie itself to the lesser point? After one’s third b

I have to say that your comment reads like you are justifying unethical behavior from a major business figure. I mean, saying that a CEO who acts with no qualms re accountability "a saint" really begs the question: how does the bo

to be fair, Ukrainians have shot down planes and helicopters in Russian airspace with Patriot batteries. The limiting conditions on doing more of that are ammunition (for cover), air defense interceptor and launcher shortages. Saying that t

not every country in Europe is a church-supported authoritarian regime happy to violate basic human rights. Note: I am talking about refugees. Poles of all people (since 1795 at the very least) should know and do better.

Seeing how few things can be done/automated on a locked iPhone even when using Shortcuts, I don’t expect this to go beyond a better autosuggest for text. Which is fine, killing the AI hype might just work out for eveyone.

Off means OFF. Just because some illiterates (definitely nowhere near 90% of the population) can’t tap an icon I shouldn’t be forced to set up an ios shortcut to _actually_ turn wifi or bt off. The fact that I can’t then add the shortcut to

Even as a webkit browser, I see Firefox Focus as the best browser on iOS. Great for people like me who want to avoid having 100s of tabs that I never get to revisit, and it has some free ad blocking.

As a simple end-user, I see these two as nothing more than adware and spyware companies.

The article does have a quip about how society teaches _boys_ about consent, which does imply that they read the article even though their next sentence re “whole EU cookie thing” seems completely out of place

You think you're not mainstream, but your whole spiel is written in imperialist, anitsemitic tropes, which Russia is so well-known for. Corrupt police in Russia not persecuting drug dealers? A true underground. Human rights abuses? All

Well, yes. Previously, anyone could put up a poster on a public Morris column in my city, now all the public space is owned by jcdecaux.

The consumer is paying for the ads in the end. This just cuts out the grifters in the middle.

I've read your comment and looked at some photos of Times Square and the Piccadilly Circus. Hard disagree.

I wholeheartedly agree. Furthermore, we now have ads that are giant flashy LED screens at the busiest intersections. The most distracting thing you could think of (flashy ads) at.the.busiest.intersection... really gets on my nerve Also, I t

The issue with this is that google might show you ads that distribute malware.

It sounds nice in principle, but, anecdotally, I had some youtube ads slip through on my phone recently and made a mental note against buying any of the brands advertised.

No, Google still is an ad company. I do not want my identity and payment info tied to my watch history. I do not trust Google to not use my data for monetization outside of youtube (e.g., selling my 'anonymized' user persona to da
