There should be a 2 year criminal justice degree requirement. It requires more schooling to be a fucking barber than it does to be an armed police officer, and a massive number of them couldn't quote basic laws, let alone explain them.
Firefox on android allows you to use uBlockOrigin. YoutubeRevanced is an excellent application patcher system that you can use to remove ads from YouTube, Twitch, Spotify, and many other. F-droid has some good resources.
If you're playing games with ads, it's a little harder. You probably need a piHole on your home network for that (they are super fun either way).
In general, yes, I guess it's a little harder to remove ads from your entire phone than it is to just remove them from a desktop web browser. Way better than Apple's options though.
Why would you not mention the name of the country in the title of your post?
This is India being talking about. Not that it's not a global issue, and not that people shouldn't be concerned with what happens outside their own little bubbles. But I assume a lot of users here will read the post title, not bother with the article, and just get angry assuming this is America.
Had the potential to be the RPG Pokemon could be if it just entered this generation's technical level. Instead, it became a shitty grindy money-grab that has been killed by the devs.
How on earth were you reading 1000 pages a day of anything? Even if you read at the extremely fast rate of 45 seconds per page of a book, that's still 12.5 hours a day of actively reading to get to 1000 pages.
Respite was the epitome of your second paragraph, for me. (That sentence works on two levels in this context). Had always thought it was pronounced like re-spite until I said that out loud and was mocked for it.
Also, they list those numbers using "total compensation" which for a private company includes shares which in most cases is monopoly money. Reddit is about to IPO allegedly so slightly more useful here. But it's not just $300k in cash.
Ok so if you read the second thing I said, it's that it should be illegal to lay off some people while giving raises to others.
The idea is, sometimes, you don't have profit and do have to lay people off. And that can be ok. If you have enough revenue to somehow still give your executive raises, that is fucked up.
