Perhaps start to learn it then?
Sit down and start drawing ext dependencies etc.
Follow an interaction from start to finish.
Microsoft did not leave the market because of googles ad revenue.
Apple is playing the game without ads as well.
Nokia could have forked android.
Google just continue to care enough.
The other companies could replicate it. The just don't mind
Just imagine people actually trying to solve real issues.
But hey who cares about nature and world hunger and stuff when you can have web5
Funny how other crypto bros would say the opposite.
But hey now you got my interest: if it's not for normal people for whom is crypto then in your opinion?
Which was necessary for the economic revolution.
Balancing the money amount to the workforce.
Because android itself is free but I'm not seeing a lot of companies or you taking the time and effort to make an ad free Android phone for the same price or cheaper.
Where?
I don't think Google is evil because they get money through ads.
I'm fine with that.
There is also a huge difference on how Google collects, stores and analysis your data vs. companies like Facebook.
I'm pretty sure Google actually knows we're your data is in comparison to Facebook
Why the f* would I need to clarify on hn that it's 'free' in sense of ad tracking?
We all know what it means. Still doesn't change the fact what the value for billion of people is real.
I use it without any issues and billions other do to.
I can decide if I'm okay with it or not. You are clearly not. I'm.
You paid for a phone with Google.
That was your decision. There are other options.
And while you mind, billions are really happy to have a very secure and relativity cheap phone.
I'm following well enough.
Have you checked the last Google Io?
They don't hide that they collect data.
Android is still open.
You can't expect Google to just give you a android distribution without their stuff for free just because.
You still can use it.
Why?
Google still provides android, Google maps, Gmail for free. World changing at it's time still helping people around the globe.
Their research blog is fantastic and shows what they value.
Google Io focus on people and security and trust.
Google is much further away from evil than plenty of other companies.
Did they kill stadia? Yes.
Did actually anyone care? No. Because stadia didn't matter anyway.
You had a phone with 12? And a smartphone with 14?
Wow crazy.
I bought my first Smartphone with 23.
I'm really really curious how this will and already affects lots of kids who don't have the skill set to learn by themselves how to handle it correctly.
I'm still waisting too much time with it.
Just because some person said this doesn't make it here suddenly true.
I personally find this anecdote really shitty to be honest. Only a balanced mind and body can sustaine quality over a long time.
Also bad health in old age is super critical for living long and bad. Would never thrive for this like laying in bed having pain every day being dependent
Or he enjoyed it tremendously and it had nothing to do with stress.
Yes.
I see this every single day.
And it becomes more and more obvious the better you become.
I thought whenever this is posted someone paid for it to be made public?

Are those really only subscriber links?
Ignorant green washing.
Baseload with Bitcoin would not just be baseload it would be the only load.
If you invest in Bitcoin hardware and get good money from it somewhere in Africa with a slow economy, why would you suddenly not consume all of it?
The only reason would be that the Bitcoin miner is not the same person as who is building the grid and the grid person only gets the same money from you than from others.
But 1. Why would you start building this and not leverage it yourself? If you can't Bitcoin miner still will be able to pay the highest price after all it is not limited by local economy but by the global one which is much richer.
The right answer than would be a Bitcoin tax. But the Bitcoin tax would only motivate both (producer and consumer) to make as much as possible.
Only after Bitcoin consumed all of this cheap unregulated power it will stop .
So now energy is still not affordable to anyone because they can't afford the inflated Bitcoin price.
You know who has to stir this shit out? Everyone not doing Bitcoin. Like the people in china were it got so bad that Bitcoin miners risked the power stability.
Also of course this doesn't motivate anyone to build up a real sustainable business with local impact like metal smelting, bakery, paper plants etc. They can't pay what a Bitcoin miner pays.
I hate this shortsighted ignorant green washing.
Bitcoin is a virus. It was created out of thin air, consumes tons of energy only to keep its own decentralized integrity for its own integrity sake not adding any value outside of itself.
