Yeah that's the most brazen part. They're more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren't taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the "free market" produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

I think the end conclusion wasn't great. He said

It wouldn't matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

I'd say the over exploitation of JavaScript to leverage tracking, interaction and marketing has helped create the poor experiences we now have on web. The underlying technology when used for creating interactive and helpful UIs is very beneficial

The Firefox team responded saying that it's an awful idea and that plenty of people rely on being able to appear human, for example screen readers who need to interact as a human would but then translates it into a format their users can understand.

These propositions are just full of drawbacks for the user, the user actually gains nothing at all. Let's hope this rubbish doesn't take a foothold.

People's willingness to seize every opportunity and monetize everything that was once free and open is truly shocking. Every day when I read about another dogshit attempt to make the internet as a whole a worse place, I'm not even supprised anymore

Need the opposite costume, the overly eager sys admin.

  • wants to force password changes once a month for security
  • constantly changing security policies to reflect the flavor of the month
  • constantly sends out phishing emails tests, wonders why no one replies to any of his emails

Old mate certainly has birds flying around in his empty head, that's for sure

Horrific article to read, old mate had to go to fires by himself and respond to emergencies from black people while all the white people hid. Terrible

They're doing great work on their destroy any positive community sentiment Speedrun, it's been shocking decision after terrible change

Seen this sentiment that green bubbles = bad a few times online but never it's never come up for me. I assume this is a teen - early adult specific issue where the idea is mostly to be part of the group

About the same when you ask for a good GUI replacement for X and someone replies "just use the command line", like cheers for that men, not what I'm asking for.
