I have no idea how an ad servicing company I have never heard of could have a legitimate interest in my online activities.

This reminds me of a gripe with LG WebOS, they dont require sign in or passwords to update the big apps but if you want to update plex you have to sign in. Pure bullshit.

It is a little bit different though, if it was illegal tomorrow it would be fixed in the EU alone. The charging ports is am efficiency in production decision. Companies can and do give different products to different regions, coke is different, chocolate is different, software has different festures and terms.

Surely there is a middle ground from bending over for technogarchy and not having as wealthy an economy?

No, I’d doubt it. Its quite a robust system that has been trialed extensively on a use case by case basis. Its also not directly customer facing.

High seas baby!

There is surely a recognisable pattern here in which people leave because of this shit and to keep the flow of money going up they then have to further reduce quality by increasing ads.

I deleted my facebook a few weeks ago and signing in for the first time in years gave a look at what it became and it was unrecognisable.

It will hit the average person in ways they cant see, my firm isnt replacing retirements because they can be filled by AI. What was once a vital role has been downgraded to the point where it can be completed by an AI, their manager now handles the back office parts and AI escalationz which given their nature will reduce overtime. In a business unit of ~40 people 7 have retired without issue and there are no plans to replace the rest as they go.

Yes, its a mature market. We are likely at a point where a new competitor or innovation focused incumbent takes a swing at a new tech.

Land votes and some people were constituionally sub human…when was is democratic?

As always they were just polished turds.

Yeah but I can buy something that 95% of the same for half the price. The added features are novelty, by the time they get to mid range there is actually use cases for the common man.

Anytime I consider making the jump, I make my peace with everything and then the price hits…no way

Is thebflighttracker like an OS designed for adding accounts to or just a orogram?

sorry for the stupid question, it sounds cool and I have no experience.

We dont make the decision as to what suite to use?

Literally no one but our CFO ad shareholders like microsoft.

The US is a shithole

Hey, does this have a gui? I am new to linux and cant quite handle doing work like thisnwithout a gui.

Did they release anything of note in 2024? Presumably the annual slog2k sports.

Europe for sure, I’m not in the UK.

Garmin is good, their pay system was handy and I liked it not being google.

That said smartwatches are boring. They went the wrong direction.

Except being the default is not the default anymore. New android phones have to allow you to select from a whole host of browsers and search engines.

This has been a huge public viewpoint for decades. I think it was Banksy who had the quote about if you force me to view your ad by putting it in a public space then it is mine to do with a I please.

Businesses have to survive, but advertising is insidious and invasive. Could it be regulated? Sure.
