No guilty party in this tale. But don't see how you can now use that name without having some social justice warrior somewhere foaming at the mouth with righteous indignation.

still OT On some generated playlists they do offer a block song/block artist option, but once you block a song, that's it, you never again get the block artist option. I'd love the block artist option for all random playlists

maybe offtopic, apologies > she suggested Twitter be a public utility Always interested to know how that could possibly work. Not just for twitter but for any other dominant site. The internet now has more users outside of the US [0] so

Not quite correct. Only if you do not have a paid developer account will the app be uninstalled after 7 days. Otherwise the app can stay installed for as long as your account is paid up. And the phone does not have to be physically connecte

Google is the Internet's black hole, sucking everything in. So massive that it bends everything towards it. And imo that's all it takes to be evil, being so powerful that you will always get your way.

Whose morality? You either enforce your morals or they don't apply. Without a paywall access is free to all. Sites may pretend that there is some moral obligation that visitors have to switch off ad blockers, but that's only the

On principle I don't use Chrome/chromium, unless a project requires it. It's not a bad browser but I wonder if running a google executable on your computer is like inviting a thief into your home. I still remember when chrome
