There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.

Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.

I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.

Maybe one day…

My guy, I grew up on a chicken farm. This does not scare me.

No we didn’t. I happily left reddit the day Apollo stopped. They also lost my premium subscription.

I also stopped Twitter when musk took over. I use Bluesky or Mastodon and find both platforms to be superior.

Sure, some folks may have, but many of us have not. Does that matter to Reddit? probably not. Do I care? not really.

Modern Reddit is unusable, and old reddit isn’t mobile friendly.

For me, things were pretty easy/quick to set up, and the benefit? Lower electric bills. More convenience.

From what I have been reading: Evidence suggests Russia was lying. Examinations of the crash site revealed no signs that a large number of people on board like Russia claims.

I am willing to bet it had missiles and the entire story was made up by Russia to:

• Stop Ukraine from shooting down planes
• Make Ukraine look bad.

They make you use the app to get the advertised features. Hyundai/Kia are terrible about this.

Oh and the entire implementation is half-assed. I bought my Hyundai used and can’t even use the paid features because they won’t transfer the account to me.

I actually like Hyundai, but I will never again purchase one of their vehicles because of subscriptions and what I mentioned above.

Are you in the US? Are you insured? You need to find another therapist. Since the pandemic, many insurance companies have improved services in this area. For example, mine eliminated copays and doubled the number of allowed visits. They also brought on a bunch of additional therapists.

You think anticheat will stop this? lol

My keyboard has macros. No PC software required except to create/modify.

With little effort you can also turn a raspberry pi into a programmable input device. There are also HDMI to USB dongles that capture video if you need to capture/process frames. I own one.

All Riot is doing is making the cheats (if they even exist for LoL) stealthier.

This has nothing to do with cheating. They got tired of support requests coming in. If that wasn’t the case they would have had a solution for Steam Deck/Linux users to go with the announcement.

Not me, I want them to know I am asserting dominance.

Software Engineers are highly paid. Many women want a guy that can provide.

I am ashamed to admit having done this more than once. 🤣

That’s great. It is all about Stacy’s mom, though. I hear she has it going on! 🎵

Using the activity for anything more than entertainment is folly.

Only 60% of companies I work for use GitHub. Some of us create new users that are only for our employers.

Yet companies still use it for hiring purposes.

Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. Also, open source software such as shotwell, digikam, Piwigo, etc.

Onedrive for cloud storage.

You can, but it is difficult. Spam prevention has made life hard for those that want to host email.

SHUT UP WESLEY!

Adnauseum clicks are easily detected and filtered out. Google stopped this nonsense a long time ago. As others have said, it also makes it dead simple to track you.
