No ones asking you to stick some shiny thing up your ass and walk around to see how it fits. If you don’t like these services don’t use them, for most of us the convinience of an Internet connected device that let’s you stream content published to the Internet is a value.

That could be useful… Find more X person/stuff…

Or, you say “i am the google web crawler”, which they let past the paywall so it can be added to google.

If I’m not wrong, Google has a set range of IP addresses for their crawlers, so not all sites will let you through just because your UA claims to be Googlebot

Think different, but stay the same, In Apple’s world, that’s the game. A touch of irony, don’t you think? In a sea of similar, we all sink.

Fast, quiet, big touch pad. What’d fascinating or out of the world here? These are just kind of things most people want, not everyone wants to manually update their kernel or whatever.

It may be reasonable to block all logins for a time if they detect an attack like this

That would be a P1 incident and probably violate SLAs depending on the duration.

Maybe we can put AI on task to detect shitty titles about AI

Next step is guaranteed to be limiting the number of views without being logged in.

I’ve installed Libreoffice but Linux has spoilt me as Windows needs a damn reboot to use it properly.

So why haven’t you switched yet?

Personally for me, I use different browsers or at least different browser profiles for different uses - e.g. Work, personal, financial, etc.

I use KeePass for sensitive passwords, the browser’s password manager is good for general stuff.

Most people I know who don’t really care about tech don’t do any of this and use whatever they’re offered.

There’s a fad in India that having an iPhone makes you a sophisticated person.

I have colleagues who’ve spent more than a whole month’s salary over it. They all use WhatsApp instead of Apple Messages, put on a ₹100 cover they got by bargaining at the railway station they commute to everyday for 2 hours, can’t afford the wireless charger, and every 3rd person seems to have one - idk what’s sophisticated about such an unexclusive device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People don’t store credentials in browsers

Yes they do - every browser asks users if they want to remember the password they just entered. Many people say yes, I do too for most cases - it is very convinient.

and figured they both had about the same

Sounds like you’re living in a 10000 meter hole under a rock.

Also make them illegal in aircraft

What’s stopping you from directly visiting those sites if you want to view their content?

Don’t take my word for it research about it yourself there are lots of good videos on YouTube the government and science liars don’t want you to know the truth /s

All apps distributed on Google Play that are offering in-app purchases of digital goods need to use Google Play’s billing system.

Never had to use Google Play’s billing when making purchases on Audible, Netflix, etc. These apps should ideally be removed for violation of the policy, but then the rules are only for the small guy.
