No, because:

1. Content creators want to monetize their videos, even if it is shit monetization.
2. Users and content creators want discoverability.

Thank you for taking the hit so we dont have to

Please destroy these unethical app! They can be used for so many bad applications: scams, misinformation, identity theft....

Good riddance

Wow! Good for the Germans!

Thanks for the answer. Guess thats a US thing then.

free credit report?

I never thought about getting one nor the people I know.... What are they used for?

TIL

What I don't understand is why governments don't try to fund open source software.

Cyber is increasingly becoming an attack vector on key infrastructure and it would be so helpful to have a group of developers to be at government disposal while understanding what software is being run on.

I understand that China and a few other countries use Linux but this is not enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_adopters

Honestly any nation not named the United States should move to FOSS if they care about security. Imagine the keys to all important infrastructure being held by foreign companies.

It must be noted that this evaluation is only an internal estimate approved by the bigot.

The true value is very likely to be even lower.

Amazing stuff from Vox

This kind of project would not be possible without serious dedication.

I am well aware of the Rohingya genocide. I am only saying they are not “doomsday” as they don’t seem to think the world is ending.

That is closer to ethnic cleansing which is completely wrong but is another issue.

My suggestion:

Tell them there is a timer but also explain that it might not be enough time so some leeway will be provided. When timer is up, tell them they have to wrap up in 30 seconds or lose ships.

Reason: People hurry up when they are reminded that they passed the deadline already

Same. Every time I hear people being scammed millions of dollars, I would be like, "why are these people falling for scams so rich?"

Maybe not for Buddhism or Shinto.

But Abrahamic religions do seem to have that tendency.

In the article quoted by Ars (https://mobilegamer.biz/fuck-you-were-not-paying-inside-unitys-runtime-fee-fiasco/)

“I truly don’t think it was done maliciously,” our Unity insider said. “Ultimately Unity has lost a lot of money over the last 18 years – billions of dollars – and they need to do something to make more money. Sadly, it wasn’t delivered well, but the need to make more money is still there.”

Using anti-competitive tatic to try to eliminate a competitor is literally malicious.

Btw, love your comic

There are plenty of information and even research onto the deliberately addictive design of Facebook.

There are more and better articles out there that I have read but this is one that I can find right now.

This is what happens when an organization gets sufficiently large. And this is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Surplus" staff is very important when a new project comes and the organization needs to scale up. Instead of suddenly hiring a lot of people with no understanding of organization culture, the staff can be mobilized to work on new things without affecting existing project and structure.

There is a reason why governments around the world don't suddenly fire their staff when it is apparent a lot of them are not working at max capacity. Redundancy is a kind of safety.

This is what happens when the show is written by a woman.

And given the novel’s sympathetic depiction of homosexuality, you have a good idea where she stands on the issue as well.
