Oh no! They took out ports the vast majority of users would never use in their entire life, making production cheaper and also making room for new technology to develop and evolve, while enabling whoever needs a specific port to simply buy a fucking dongle and get the job done. Oh and this also made it possible for the entire machine to be lighter and thinner, more thermally efficient and have infinitely better battery life.

The horror πŸ™„

If you care about not having the environment be poisoned by nuclear waste for tens of thousands of years, then you kinda have to.

Ah yes! Jokes are totally the same as talking about the right to defend oneself against settler colonialism πŸ™„

I swear I've seen this news multiple times across three social networks and not once was the title not fucking clickbait.

It's Carrefour. Carrefour dropped Pepsi. Carrefour.

Fuck modern journalism πŸ™„

Canceled all my streaming subscriptions this year.

Final straw was HBO Max (in Europe). They don't have an ad subscription yet over here, but the app decided to pause my movie and show a pop-up ad for Barbie. There's no way I'm paying to be shown ads I didn't agree to.

It's wild that internet ads are such an accepted thing. Back when you paid per megabits of traffic (mobile and desktop too), you were basically paying for the bandwidth that got hijacked to show you an ad you weren't getting compensated for. We don't think about that now that everything is unlimited, but the concept is still valid. Unlike TV or radio, the internet has always been "pay for traffic".

Absolutely same.

Wiped clean two accounts with 12 & 11 years worth of content, plus some alts. No way I'd let them profit off my stuff.

Third party apps didn't show ads, so I guess ad views didn't change that much after the blackout. They might even have gone up a bit with some users who started using the "official" ad-laced app.
