If the aggregation site publishes enough of the news story within the aggregation site itself that the reader never follows the link the news site never gets a chance to show them ads.

This whole problem is rooted in the idea that the internet should be paid for by corporate propaganda, so I don't shed a tear for anyone on either side of this.

Let me pay $5 a year for a login and give me an rss feed for your news network. I am now the customer and not a sack of attention that you're using a minimum viable product to sell to your corporate owners. It's a win win.

Are they really 7nm chips tho? They do love to brand shit as other shit.

Wait until these end up in phones and have the power performance of 11nm stuff.

I'm already 90% done with YouTube since their discovery feature is totally broken. A feed with 40 videos, 25 of which I've already watched 5 that are right wing outrage porn and literally nothing I want to watch at all?

I have a few subscriptions that are on floatplane, nebula or peertube already that's pretty much all I watch on YouTube since it's so enshittified.

I'd happily pay for premium if yt would unfuck their suggestions, but if they decide to lock out adblock instead I'm totally gone.

How does a password manager or 2fa do anything at all to protect privacy?

The global oligarchy has decided its time to reap the latest round of fiat money purchased real goods.

We're getting a twofer because they want to reassert their dominance over labor since we've gotten uppity due to the covid money.

It's taught as the "business cycle" as if it's some kind of natural thing that's not driven 100% by those who imagine the imaginary value of our fiat currency.

Put out robot bait and the follows just rack up.

If you go by that logic then there would be no second place console in the market, because every game would exclusively be on the number one console.

Walled garden captivity for any platform has always been anti consumer profiteering and was perfected in the mid 90s after the atari clones all passed into history.

"Waaaaah, I can't play this one game because it's an Xbox exclusive." Plays the 90 Sony exclusives instead.

For me the problem is the SoC they chose was too slow to be viable in 2018, let alone today.
