Isn't it just supposed to be a secure/private version of WhatsApp?

What are they doing that is bad?

Oh he didn't plan it? that's nuts.

It felt very "bring it to a close" to me.

Thanks. Always up for Bank lore.

E-commerce isn't as much of a monopoly as "reddit-style social media".

Technically anyone has the ability to open an eshop and sell whatever they want (provided they follow the appropriate sales/tax laws etc).

It's just that people don't like to buy from no-name shops online, as reputations give a level of accountability.

I imagine a lot of people got their credit card details stolen when the first eshops appeared.

The terms listed probably aren't used as defined in whatever material they're being used in (which is pretty normal).

In the context of most modern usage, I'd say the difference is conditional on the consent of the subject (non-manufactured consent).

Exploitation also (I believe) implies a finite resource. Or at least, it's going to run out if it's being monetised VS exploited. For example, overfishing the oceans.

Boy-who-lived incoming.

Honestly this is every car chase in every high profile movie.

They somehow stay very clean and shiny the whole time.

I didn't say I was going to do maths for you either ;)

I'm not doing maths to keep it at 18 each year.

I do 1900 lol

"Haemorrhagic issue" (i.e. bled to death on the kerb)

Oh that ok. It's not green on this side.

There's a lite version that's only for the ads.

It's cheaper than the full 19.99.

While that might still be too much, I just wanted to point out that if you don't want ads, it doesn't cost the full 20quid.

Oh that's neat!

Solution: cover your hands with jelly and make a big scene of climbing over the cars to use the sidewalk, leaving jelly handprints everywhere.

If confronted about the jelly prints, just say you were eating a really big donut.

Oof. That was lucky. I almost posted in it my work new channel...

Thanks for that.

"We have justify-content and align-items at home"

I know a guy who started a company to do exactly this (in Europe only for now).

So the battery swap idea is out there, and being acted upon.

I've noticed it happening in the past.

I suspect there's a bit of an arms race between uBlock origin and large and networks like Google/YouTube.

So there will always be a short response time between anti-adblock changes made by websites, and the adblockers releasing a way to get around them.

Hopefully any change is temporary.

Ok neat. Well then I'm pretty tempted...
