This week they've been pushing some new Discord college spaces; asking me to connect my account to a .edu mail address. Believe I've seen the popup twice on my desktop, and once on mobile.

Due Process is an interesting indie-developed tactical FPS, somewhere between Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six. Its main differentiating feature is semi-random maps (and a unique art direction for this genre). Every week, the developers proce

iOS now hawks iCloud very aggressively. They tricked my iPad-using grandmother into paying for a storage plan she didn't need.

My interpretation is that they don't want users to go to a specific URL, Google wants users to search for it (and click an ad) on Google.

It's only consistent as long as the number of icons/applications on the task bar never changes. Every time an additional program is started, the button will slide further towards the left. With the older left-aligned positioning,

That seems completely unfounded. Citadel benefits from payment for order flow from retail traders. They do not gain by scaring them away.

For starters, storage costs. Free users can upload files, images, and videos up to 8MB (25MB for Nitro members). Storing and serving those in perpetuity adds up, plus bandwidth for voice and video chat and 800+ employees.

This is after you've already unchecked "Always check if Firefox is your default browser". People uncheck that because they don't want to be nagged. This is just Mozilla not respecting user choices.
