The fillip to retailers is incidental I suspect. The aim of plastic manufacturers when they engage in the lawmaking process is probably safeguarding their ability to produce plastic at an uninterrupted level. They're happy to reduce total units provided the units are heavier. The environmental impact doesn't matter: government and industry will continue forcing the recycling meme so it looks as though the conservation angle is covered. Once their part of the problem is solved, the problem no longer exists :^)

I'm convinced Adobe's acquisition activity is driven primarily by elimination of alternatives to the SaaS subscription model, as opposed to revenue growth. Adobe is okay with viable competition, but they are not okay with viable competition that offers an alternate payment and delivery model that doesn't view the customer as an open wallet. That's when the polonium tea comes out, because letting that run spells industry exodus.

It makes me wonder what the US DOJ/FTC/relevant regulator thinks. Perhaps they don't care at all because (unlike Adobe's userbase) we realize this sector is as un-vital as it gets. The Stockholm syndrome on display is sad nevertheless.

If the employee is frequently on sick leave and is required to produce paper, that's a trust issue. But if the manager can't recall when the employee was last ill yet still demands one, then they've shown they cannot distinguish trust from compliance.

My card issuer shouldn't get to help itself to the profiling data, and the service shouldn't get to lose my info in the data breach.

Id argue it's worth maintaining a long term record of the site's censorship activity, accessible on the open web.

Do all your posts on that account get shadow-banned OP, or does it happen per-sub?

So long as it's publicly accessible, Youtube has 'plausible credibility' when it talks to advertisers about impression numbers. Remember, we're not the only party YT fucks.

This is how you effectively combat the interests trying to kill libraries, filesharing and the public commons in general. Continue normalizing the activity, as it makes law designed to attack it all the more odious and unworkable. The bad guys lose when cultural attitudes rally around free information exchange. The key to that is being public and vocal like the dev.

On the plus side, UBO only had to block one script (on the login page at least).

How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I'm wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.

If it's the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled...

You'll soon be able to include MS itself in that designation.

Your Microsoft account has been suspended. We'll need some additional information from you to get you back on your feet.

The 'as soon as Windows 10 can’t x I'm off to Linux!' refrain is so routine in our circles it's practically a meme. All someone says when they pontificate like this is that their true priority is can kicking rather than action.

We're talking about P2P networks bro, not land management. Pouncing on the term like a bot would, simply to post that link, is just sloppy.

Is that false flag operation r/AgainstHateSubreddits still operating?

The LARPers on c/Piracy are finally taking a break from shouting 'high seas' and discovering the tragedy of the commons!

If you had any real intention of making the shift, you'd have done so already. Protip: You know I'm right!

Gabe is right, but what a lot us fail to realize in Lemmyland is that it increasingly doesn't matter. $BigCorp is spending hard to turn it into a technology issue.

Mass market subscription services won't offer ad-free precisely because of the mass market exposure available to advertisers. You need to look to niche services instead, where a critical proportion of subscribers (say 30%) won't tolerate ads as opposed to 1%. Maintaining an ad-free option in such a case is basic business sense. Not only that, you'll find the ads-on tiers are more respectful of people's attention and intellect when it comes to ad content and presentation.

There's always web, viewed via the old domain. I view most apps as websites with user agency removed.
