It’s kinda a good thing. Addons can easily deal with these popups. Like some news websites that cover the page with “to continue reading, do this”, when I can just use “remove overlays” addon and keep reading. Dynamic content for the win.
Please go away
If I remember correctly, MS still pushed some critical patches to Win7 after the support ended as they realized 1/3 of world’s computers turning into botnets is probably not in their interests.

But mom, Meta
I’m not sure if Discord’s ToS apply to zendesk
The Russia thanks UK for this valuable information
I used to root every phone, but by 2025 I’ve given up. Hard to unlock bootloaders, random apps (especially banking) thinking you will get hacked and stops working, the entire community around rooting and mods is like 10% of what it used to me, hardly any modern phone still gets custom roms, etc… Recently saw some statistic about custom roms - on average, around 50 phones 5-8 years ago had support for custom roms. By 2025, that number has fallen to 4.
Android is not what it used to be

It’s a bit weird to me how hyperfocused gamers are on Saudi Arabia. No, they do not own EA, it’s a joint venture between two other US investment firms;
Silver Lake Partners: A private equity firm focused on technology and media investments. Silver Lake is also part of the new Oracle-led joint venture set to take on management of TikTok’s U.S. operations.
Affinity Partners: Led by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, the firm is a participant in the buyout.
Why not focus on weirdly rich Trump’s son-in-law? Knowing it’s family, the thought of Trump family owning EA sounds worse than Saudi Arabia fund.
You don’t succesfully run big corporations by having high moral standarts, this was never an argument. Argument was about what makes businessman a good business man, and one major thing is seizing opportunities and “playing” important people like Trump. I don’t think he’s anywhere as (morally) bad as Steve Jobs was, but he’s doing his job as expected.
Alternate take: Tim is a businessman doing what’s best for Apple and he personally might not support Trump, but we will likely never know.
Everyone has those friends who keep sharing you stuff from tiktok. I also happen to be pretty good with AI, run my own local models and all that (I know lemmy hates AI, but just for context…). The thing I’ve noticed is that by the each passing month, they keep sending me more and more AI generated or edited stuff, it’s rapidly on the rise. If it has become so good only people with trained eye can spot it, how will tiktok look in 2 years?
I sometimes feel like the only mf around who doesn’t and never used tiktok. From the very start it just gave off bad vibes, and then all the news started coming out about it rotting your attention span away, data collection and russian manipulation winning hearts of young people, which pretty much confirmed my suspicions. Ironically reddit feels like a much safer platform than tiktok.
I’m sure it really depends on where you live, but here in East Europe I’ve noticed tiktokkers slowly turning into Z’ers who start accepting Russian disinfo as facts. Meaning, it’s already pro-MAGA
And yet, youtube uses resource intensive compression methods for said exabytes
I was actually thinking of DisplayPort since I haven’t used HDMI for quite some time now, but pretty much the same thing, except for name - DPCP, but supposedly DP also supports HDCP.
Your new monitor likely has DRM features built in that are already being utilized by Netflix and others. Youtube is next on the line
But WEB3… Is your digital wallet ready?
