>it goes against the increasing trend of less screens and less tech

Where are you seeing this "increasing trend"?

Also, how should a tech company that makes money from selling gadgets react to this purported trend? Start selling chairs?

I understand why this is happening, but the current technical problems of twitter are way, way overstated. Twitter has always been very buggy. It is indeed correct that for the longest time every time you clicked a twitter link and it opened in your browser you had to refresh the window to see it. This was pre-Musk.

If this happened now you would see dozens of articles saying that twitter is melting down. But now, it turns out Twitter ran perfectly before! I can't help but scoff.

They make money because they know that if you need to use Klarna to finance a €300 purchase you are very likely to default on the loan and pay interest.

Unless either your salary or the price of the phone increased in those months, you didn't save anything.

Using a service like Klarna means you're bad at dealing with money, so it makes sense.

That's a distinction without a difference. Whether the renter or the landlord buy the credit report, the renter will pay for it anyway.

What's the point of a credit agency if they can't get paid for making their reports?

Just the fact that Gizmodo is against it makes me support it.

This happens to me even though 1) I never log in and 2) I clear my cookies daily.

The other day I was looking for recipes and I had to see disgusting video thumbnails of faces full of zits interspersed with thumbnails of the food I wanted to cook.

There's a ublock origin filter here that hides suggested videos and other crap from the search results page https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/youtube...

They are automatically generated I would say. The text is copied from somewhere else.

For instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLWJ0spQ5q0 the text is from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62840146/unix-create-mul...

There are several different intros with him talking but he has the same cold sore in every one of them...

He's not necessarily siding with Apple. He's pointing out they don't have to do that.

But I don't see it as alienating. Marcan seems an intelligent person so he knows that his vtuber persona is weird. I suppose other people noticing and commenting on it is something he likes or even encourages. It's like... people who dye their hair green, or who wear thick golden chains or teeth grills. They want the attention.

You can be thankful for the work done and still think marcan acts weird and is off-putting with his "asahi" vtuber persona.

I'd be highly interested in an aliexpress version that has the same features and is software-compatible but at 1/5 the cost.

Thank you, EU!

nitter.cz is one of many mirrors. The official site was nitter.net (which is down as well).

Nice climatic authoritarianism the author is advocating for here.

>The BIND 9 codebase (which is where this bug arose) dates back to when Bill Clinton was President of the US.

The fact that it's that old should mean it's extremely robust.

Having purchased a Vision Pro does not make you an "Apple fan". The headline makes it sound like Apple fanboys are forsaking their allegiances because of how bad the Vision Pro is, which is not what the article says.

They did more than just "calling for independence". Use your search engine of choice to find out what they did.

And this was not a case of a violation of "human rights", in which I also do not believe. During the pandemic, there was a flagrant violation of our constitutional rights, among them, the right to free movement (which very roughly means, as a Spanish citizen, I can go anywhere in Spain, whenever I want) and free assembly. The constitutional court makes sure that the constitution has teeth, or so they should.

Now that alternative stores can be used I guess there's not much point to PWAs.

Errr, that's not exactly what they did, as well as you know :-)

In any case I hope we can agree that it's good that they said that restricting our constitutional right to free movement was illegal, even if it had no consequences for those who violated our basic rights so blatantly.

The constitutional court of Spain ruled the state of alarm (a kind of state of emergency) that was used to prohibit gatherings during the pandemic was unconstitutional. But by then the damage was made of course.

That's not true at least in Spain. There's "In flagrante delicto" which means if the police suspects something going on they can kick your door down.

It was used many times during the pandemic: when they suspected you were having too many people over at home, they acted. Unconstitutionally, mind you.

The EU is not the utopia many think it is.

>After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the Ukranian Vice Prime Minister asked ICANN to suspend ccTLDs associated with Russia.

What's the point of ccTLDs if the US, a potential enemy, can still pull the rug out from under your feet?

If you can't be arsed to vote it's because you don't care about the outcome.

Developers could also do these processes. And they probably do, often. But they usually have their heads so far up their asses that they don't see how inscrutable this onboarding process is even for very technical users.

It's like when you use one of those Linux phones and your reaction all along is "ew". Do developers not notice how bad this is? No, they don't. Some of them haven't used a good UI ever. They can't fathom it could be better. They really think they are doing a good job.

Why did Discord win? Oh, it must be dark patterns, regulatory capture, moat, etc. It can't possibly be because the UI makes sense!

Seems all the links to google maps easter eggs are 10-20 years old and fixed.

Looks like rail dust to me.

Yes, you are right, apologies. I thought it wouldn't open at all, like in the screenshot in that blog post.
