Apple News? I'm genuinely intrigued by the promises of that service, but I'm not willing to pay $1000+ for hardware to access it.

Does YouTube need to be profitable? Alphabet is big enough that they could afford to operate a few services at a loss. It's certainly something to keep in mind during the market research phase, but I don't think this means that al

Ads are, I would assume, a minority of PornHub's income. There's also a premium feature (like YouTube Red), uploaders can set a price tag to view a specific video, receive tips, and link to external payment services in their bio.

I found out recently that four of top six "channels" on YouTube (ranked by the number of subscribers), are actually topics: music, gaming, movies, and sports. https://socialblade.com/youtube/top/100/

"Free speech" doesn't apply to private entities at all. They have full rights to refuse service to someone for whatever reason they want to, same as any other business. Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1357&#

I don't use it myself, but as far as I understand it, the idea is to increase the noise you make so that any signal you make would get lost. Ads can't be tailored to you if you click on every ad ever shown to you (in the backgroun

What would you consider as a confirmation? Without someone coming out and saying "we're the ones who did it", it's very unlikely that it'll be ever be confirmed. The best you can do is to make some educated guesses

My full name is very common. I share it with an actor, a photographer, two designers, and one basketball player. Three of us have personal websites and one of us has a Wikipedia page. I've adopted the alias "r3bl" to counte

Yes, you could. You'd probably receive a ban instantly, not have people engaging with you and upvoting you. You'd certainly not be able to do that for weeks (since some of these I've opened at random still post in t_d). I don

This screenshot is about half a month old. I've just opened two of these at random and they both still post in t_d. If it were a few idiots, they'd be easy to ban. I've moderated a controversial sub for years and I guarantee

The majority of the power in a smartphone is used to light up the screen. If your phone is in your pocket, it's a reasonable assumption that the screen is turned off. It's not impossible, but the phone would have to be quite ineff

I agree. I self-host a lot of services I use, but I'll happily let someone else deal with my emails passing through to Gmail for a few bucks a month.

Finland, Switzerland, and the UK are the first three places that pop into my mind where speeding tickets are calculated based on the income of the offender. You'd have to be caught going way above the limit to be fined above 1 month

Where's the malice in the cookie law? It's an absurd law that's a prime example of how incompetence at a regulative level leads to a negative outcome in a specific sector. I 100% agree with that, but I fail to see how it can

SuperTuxKart is an open source game. It doesn't have to be AAA-worthy, the fact that it's open source is what makes it awesome. If I were looking for something proprietary and more AAA-like, I'd look at 10985 games available

Yes, maybe like +200 (which is what I've set it at as a mod in severe cases of brigading), not thousands. Most of the subreddits don't require anything but positive karma, and you can achieve that with less than a dozen manually
