Major mental gymnastics.
If you want to use their products, either be served ads, pay to go ad free. Nothing special.

I would imagine changing the user-agent at all will (temporarily) fix it, rather than to a Chrome user-agent specifically.
Probably targets ad blocking users rather than non-Chrome users.
Normally these "instant quote" services do not actually provide you an instant quote even after you have handed over your information.
It's not like he is buying up properties specifically to rent out on AirBnB.
He's renting out his guest house, which is attached to his main house, and he's owned it since 1990.
There is also no need for third party to-do lists on iOS.
It's not a good thing: "you’ll be able to see the search bar and the left-hand guide menu, with no feed of recommended videos thus allowing you to more easily search, browse subscribed channels and explore Topic tabs instead."
I'm still not enabling my watch history.
Strange.
The real owner of AI.com probably never changed, and is still looking for a buyer.
A lot of people had gotten used to accessing ChatGPT via ai.com, so this was ultimately a good move for the seller.
Wonder what percentage of Mac users actually use the Mac app store... maybe I'd be surprised.
Definitely the US left.
When the US right tried to use Mastodon, their instances got cut off and in many cases, Mastodon apps would block connecting to them entirely.
Would've expected closer to 70/30 personally.
My primary issue with it is the lack of support for in app purchases (last checked in late 2022).
The only easy way to do it is via RevenueCat, as none of the other RN IAP libraries work with Expo.
Expo also has built in support for over-the-air updates, which is great. However, it is a paid product, for $5/m per 1000 users (first 1000 free).
I believe you can run your own server for OTA updates, but it's fairly obvious that this feature will eventually be removed when they need to monetize harder.
Which is ironic: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/17/23797976/you-might-see-mo...
You can't censor content without it being blatantly obvious while you're serving content chronologically, so I'm guessing their "following" feed either won't last, or won't be chronological (for long).
> Facebook parent Meta has spent years trying to make its flagship platform a destination for everything online
> Google, Snap, TikTok, Uber and others have also tried to jump on the super app bandwagon, expanding their offerings in an effort to become indispensable to people as they go about their day
Snap, TikTok, and Uber haven't. That's just a lie.
Google maybe? They haven't offered banking, they barely do social, and they haven't consolidated everything into a mega-app. A mega OS, maybe.
Facebook, perhaps the closest, but not really. The opposite: Facebook even separates its messaging out into their own apps. Creates many small apps rather than one mega app.
I would say nobody has tried it.
This is giving me "homophobes are actually raging homosexuals" energy.
