that sounds crazy. that makes the idea of federation pointless imo… thank you for the response

could you elaborate for people who don’t use it?

Windows defender works, and it works really well. I haven’t had a virus or used an anti virus (most of which feel like viruses themselves with how intrusive and annoying they have become) in like two decades.

I don’t think it’s really new. Just short for dragged through the mud. super old phrase + ellipsis

fuck, this will really hurt my revanced experience. a

oh wait no it won’t lol

for me it’s much better. I don’t think they directly use Bing search by the way, just their index. the algorithm should be theirs if I’m not wrong.

x (formerly twitter)… you mean twitter (desperately x)

even elon calls it twitter dude why are people still pretending they have to honor a rebrand of a company by a dipshit who deadnames and misgenders his own kid.

who are any of these people

actually ads probably won’t work on you because you don’t have basic reading comprehension

yeah ads famously criticize the product and talk about how dangerous it is

if you think it doesn’t work on you, it’s more likely to work on you. if it didn’t work the world would be a much better place, but unfortunately they definitely work.

but i agree it’s stupid especially as a business model and it shouldn’t exist.

6751 6686 here… I’m glad it’s finally getting a burial since it died like 20 years ago.

i hate them because they remove anything that makes their games unique and make all their games have the same features until they’re all completely interchangable gray sludge.

what a stupid idea… actually regulate them you fucking cowards.

whenever I see this “calmly” quote I’m reminded how many adverbs jowling kowling rowling used in the books. it’s like the opposite of show don’t tell.

so bring extra… noted.

but to be fair, is it really a captcha if it doesn’t give you nightmares?

they have these notifications where they send you an article or sometimes video you might be interested in… it’s a notification ad, basically, or at least functions as one.

95% of the time it’s clickbait or AI drivel anyway but at least when you tapped on it, it would open a somewhat related Google search and the first “result” you would see would be the article you clicked on. unnecessary step but i got why they do it.

well now you don’t see it. because ads cover at least one entire screen’s worth of space, if not more, so you have to scroll way down to see the thing you clicked on. unbelievable that they essentially show ads in front of ads.

you’re wrong. TV replaced the radio, not podcasts. we’re not comparing different kinds of media, we’re saying new media replaces the old, regardless of form. it’s not about numbers; it’s about migration. if people moved on from listening to podcasts to consume pictures and video on Instagram, then you could totally say that, but they didn’t, so we don’t.
