That's like saying people shouldn't have developed a vaccine for Covid, only because Covid will adapt to the vaccines at some point.

What do you want artists to do? Accept that all their future work is also used without any compensation?

Anecdotal evidence, but I swapped out Google for DDG about 5-6 years back and haven't missed it. I do use Google sometimes but it's once in 4-5 months when DDG fails me, which is acceptable to me.

I'm guessing you're referring to the GDPR guidelines (for EU at least, not sure what the equivalent California rules are).

The idea that people don't need headphone jack seems pretty weird. Phones removed the 3.5mm jack, so people had to buy Bluetooth headphones, because now there is just 1 port on the phone.

And now, because of this change, you're looking back and saying that that's a not needed feature.

Does that sound right?

Yes

Personally, I would say it shouldn't matter.

I wouldn't want to know the birth date of a person I was interviewing, and there's no need for my interviewer to know mine.

LinkedIn is pretty useful fwiw

I guess accidents per thousand/million cars on road would be more representative.

Think of it like this, if ~70% of all autonomous driving cars were Teslas, and they have a ~70% contribution to the accident volume, then they're as bad as the competition.

I'm not saying Tesla's auto pilot doesn't have problems, but this particular metric is not the best one to say how it is compared to the competition.

Personal opinion: No manufacturer has an auto pilot capable enough to be on the road.

I mean, a rapist actually became the President, so ¯(ツ)/¯

As someone not from US, and generally interested in the specifics of gerrymandering, can someone share a link for the extent of gerrymandering in Ohio.

Linux does, but the question is if the proton layer optimization holds up for ARM processors as well.

While the monopoly that YT has as a video platform is definitely an issue, the cost of maintaining the content has definitely risen now. 480p vs 4k videos have a ton of difference in bandwidth, no matter how much Internet speeds have evolved over the years.

I used Google Play Music (RIP) and moved into YT Music for my music streaming needs. The cost of YT premium was marginally higher so I switched for it.

The major issue with YT Premium is that they still collect the data from YT to show targeted ads, but I use also use uBlock, so that doesn't really bother me as much.

Point is, video hosting services are expensive. The quantity (not quality) of content on YT is way higher than any othet streaming service, and maintaining that for free is pretty close to impossible. The only possible alternative would be a government backed video platform and that's definitely worse.

From a technical standpoint, sure.

But there's a large amount of conversations that happens with Studios and Artists to make sure that the fees are negotiated properly. Sometimes large partners have a singular manager for their coverage. That could always balloon the org size.

It's not privacy but exclusivity of data collection to apple

True anyways

None of the reviewers experienced the game with Denuvo. Reviews are a form of advertisement (good or bad)

Having 2 different instances of the same app. Samsung provides this for most messaging apps.

If I take everything you say as true at face value. Then the business was a shitty idea. The owners of the company who have gambled away the VC money should be the ones on hook for it, not the customers.

It is the employer's responsibility to ensure their workers get paid. Period.

Before calling Bullshit on people, you could've done a simple Web search.

I don't think Apple is comparable to Google and Meta, yet. Allow them sole ownership of data on the phones, I don't expect that to hold true in a few years.

Actually, the whole Privacy part is one of the biggest gimmicks Apple has ever pulled.

Sure, it doesn't allow Meta and Google to not allow data collection, but research indicates Apple continues to collect the same amount of data. In the long run, I'm sure that Apple would also use this data to serve ads in their own way, just that they'll call it "iAds", and fanboys would cream their pants
