Having to pay to even link to news articles will only accelerate the downfall of journalism though. Instead of paying, why not just link to an AI generated article instead? Much needs to be done to save good journalism but this law is a massive step in the exact opposite direction
Use smarttube instead of the official YouTube app, the ads are gone and it’s better in every other way as well. Faster, more features, quality settings stay where you left them, sponsorblock support and much more.
It definitely was their gratest move ever. So many improvements was blocked by supporting the old extensions. Firefox would be completely useless and dead by now if they was still supporting them. Their loss in market share to chrome is largely due to not killing them 5 years earlier.
There isn’t any alternative for either content creators or consumers so of course people can’t just stop using it. But that doesn’t mean everyone should just accept anything from them. These kinds of things definitely hurt both the YouTube and Google brands and there definitely are Google products that you can stop using and avoiding to give money to YouTube.
If there’s one service where you can check stolen CC info for $1 and another one for $5 you doesn’t go with the $5 one for no reason. The $4 extra dollars doesn’t matter in itself but that other places are several times cheaper does.
None of those work without both people having the app and so provide a much worse experience over SMS, just why?
In Sweden I can’t remember the last time I saw a plan that didn’t include unlimited sms and calls. Only thing marketed is data. However if you really search for them I guess it’s still possible to buy something else somewhere.
What else is there to use? SMS is the only cross platform protocol that works. MMS is horrible and Apple refuses ro support RCS. Of course SMS apps auto upgrades to RCS if both parties supports it which is in practice only between Androids.
Ctrl + ; should bring up an emoji picker in Linux when you have focused a text field
Sounds like you have a borked dbus or is using the GTK_USE_PORTAL env variable, 20 second timeouts are gtks standard way of dealing with something it doesn’t like. Firefox should take < 1 second to start fresh and takes < 3s for me, restoring hundreds of tabs
Just don’t? If I need to use Facebook to interact with something I just rather spend my time on almost anything else.
Zigbee is for this usecase instant and definitely faster than any ESP wifi based solution. Your slowness here isn’t for reaching HA, it’s HA itself and primarily pushover and Alexa. What is it you are trying to do? For anything that should feel instant, getting rid of pushover and Alexa will be crucial.
30% of the subscription price. That small artists get screwed over is entirely due to labels.
After the service cut has been taken, all money is put in one big pool and them divided by total number of streams and sent to the labels. How the cut between labels and artists is divided is up to individual contracts between artists and labels but usually the majority goes to the labels due to still accounting for cost of producing and shipping physical CDs. Pooling all users money also unfavourably favours big artists and is enforced by the labels as bigger artists makes them more money than smaller ones.
