What is your definition of retail?

Apple charges 99$ per year to publish apps.

Apple has ads in the App Store.

I am not asking for a PhD thesis. I am asking for five minutes of middle school level googling.

Your DNA too

I understand criticisms against CA, but thinking this does not happen in other states regardless of their political affiliation is naivety at best.

The linked article clearly says "Like many states.." but does not list which states.

The only way you are beating this is by birthing at home and hoping no complications occur.

You have described Dead Internet Theory:: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

OpenAI does not think so.

As of July 20, 2023, the AI classifier is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy.

I hope they win the vote. The conditions they work in are miserable.

The problem is your post is titled to be a hit piece against the EU

Ads, Reddit popup, bad cambridge.org design are experienced by non EU too

A more accurate title like ""Sigh, this is what browsing the web looks like nowadays"" would not have gotten you criticism

you're going to consent to anyway

Speak for yourself. I never consent to marketing or analytical cookies. I appreciate the option to turn them off.

Apologies for coming off rude. Apple's anti-repair stance is a sensitive topic for me.

Wrong.

A genuine screen from another iPad will cause this issue until you swap the chip from the old screen to the new screen.

This is misleading. Carriers can impose restrictions on paid off phones like being subscribed to them for x months. My phone unlocked after 6 months.

It is only free and instant if you are in the military.

Forget gTLD, Google has their own TLD (1)

I don't understand how it's naive and unprofessional?

twitch.tv, goo.gl, youtu.be, etc. is the tip of the iceberg. Twitch and Google probably are unlikely to have bases in Tuvalu and Greenland respectively.

I'm glad the truck bed is coming handy when dropping the kids to school. Sure makes up for all the kids getting crushed by big cars (1)

My point exactly. Glad we have understanding.

Seems like a knee-jerk reaction. Why is the opinion always to ban or abolish a broken system instead of improving it?

The original comment did not specify that.

It may be obvious to you or me but not to most people.

Advocates for improved cities need to understand that are less likely to receive pushback if they are clear and concise from the get go.

I cannot find the source but I recall reading that telematics insurance causes more incidents as it makes drivers afraid of braking hard, knowing that any maneuver by you to avoid a deranged driver is counted against you.

I can only find anecdotal references https://www.quora.com/Does-Progressive-Auto-insurance-actual...

The only reason Apple booted Facebook tracking is to become the next Facebook in tracking with its ads. (1) (2)

"But I think the greater Reddit community just want to participate with their fellow community members." "The protest, what it really affects is the everyday users, most of whom aren't involved in this, or the changes that spurred this,"

Its amazing how we butchered the protest into the regular 'us vs them' situation seen in everything: politicize everything, pitch people against people, while the person on the top reaps the money and enjoyment from the drama.

Huffman said negotiations have broken down with two of the most popular apps, Apollo and Reddit is Fun, but he said Reddit is willing to negotiate with most third-party developers.

Wow. You accuse him of blackmailing you for 10 million, get caught red handed (1) then say that negotiations "broke down"? I want to hear what happened with rif from the developer. I hope he recorded his calls too.

I have already agreed that some mods are power hungry but to claim that all moderators are is disingenuous.

https://i.imgur.com/qccGA91.jpg

if you think moderation is bad why are you on a moderated HN and not 4chan \b\?

and the moderator action logs would be public

Blame reddit for not making this feature and not mods. There are 3rd party tools for public modlogs that REDDIT is trying to kill.

to get reddit back to the site I enjoy

Those "whiny mods" are the reason you "enjoy" your reddit experience.

Are there some mods that abuse their power? Yes.

Realistically, assume you were going to upgrade anyway.

Realistically, you don't need to replace the entire thing. Replace mobo+CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, case as necessary.

Laptop is a different story. Replacing a desktop with a laptop and then comparing them is not a fair comparison.

They do not want 3rd party clients to exist which is why they are not doing what would logically make sense: limiting it to Premium.

Was cost of the device also taken into consideration in your overall cost calculation? What was the cost of your Windows desktop and what was the cost of your M series device you replaced it with?

Have you ever upgraded any components of your Windows desktop (RAM, GPU, CPU, motherboard) or did you discard the entire thing?

The API pricing is what Reddit claims to be "server cost break even point". https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/api_upda...

Christian's (Apollo developer) math of $20 million a year in API cost is based off of Reddit's entire revenue for the year and not just breakeven costs. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_ca...

Was the asking price really so unreasonable?

Most third-party apps have announced shutdown plans. they would not do this if the pricing was reasonable.

I keep telling everyone Apple wants to be the next Google in adspace but no one seems to believe it
