There is no need to be productive to be happy, that’s internalized exploitation. Real addiction has a pathological meaning and always requires professional support. This sounds like ADHD dopamine hunting and impulsive hyper focusing. I’m not an armchair therapist, I’m not even a lawn chair therapist.
Dating using internet communication works better without dating Apps.
They’re already starting their paid ad-free $10 a month tiers for Europe only. They’ll stop showing advertising to underage people “for now”. They’re going to flood Europe with garbage ads and maximize subscribers that way.
Everything only needed because it only helps to meet a security standard and to lower insurance. So much useless outdated stuff.
Keep all rooms safely above freezing, +10 Celsius/ +50F and only heat one room warmer. Calculate the power/fuel you would use then and compare to full central heating (it can be different for every location). Generally speaking in many countries running something that heats or cooles rooms with electricity 24/7 will make your power bill skyrocket. Damage to property caused by the cold like burst pipes and other stuff can certainly cost you any savings made and more.
Thats a fair assumption. I think it might’ve just taken longer, especially if the ad-supported tier was there quickly too, or even as an option from the start.
I mean the very first year or two. As I understand they were burning money anyway, but it’s too late now.
YouTube messed up by not being a paid only service first and later offering an advertisement supported free tier. That way around, they’d be celebrated.
Altering the deal eh, at least they take smaller steps.
Proton will be ready by then.
Also layoffs temporarily raise the stock price, it’s probably more costly in the long run… but who cares as long as the numbers go up for a bit and everyone gets bonuses.
This isn’t even really normal entshitification, they added videos and some music cheap Spotify knockoff to their fast delivery flat rate. Nobody asked them to.
Then they slowly raised the price, essentially locking everyone that just wanted free fast delivery into a video streaming service and kept increasing the price.
They did this to force existing subscribers into their “new” business idea of a video streaming service, when they couldn’t yet compete with the competition back then. Good news for them, their competitors are shit now.
Now they can include advertisements in it too and add more expensive advertisement free tiers. Essentially increasing the price again, but hiding it so people can’t ask for subscription fees back in Europe.
Do they really think most people have forgotten they just wanted a fast delivery flat rate? They will never offer their delivery flat rate without video and all that stuff again, only if a legislature would force them.

All because Amongus sold so many times…
It’s almost funny how absolutely oblivious people like him are to their actions. Even if there wasn’t a camera… he probably really thinks women are into this kind of harassment.
Nice timing, since the first remotely substantial upgraded iPhone in the past years just released. Probably just a coincidence.
So buying a used refurbished pixel phone from a place not associated with google and putting GrapheneOS or something on it would be best? That’s probably also a way to save money.
I’m always interested in what that impact would be compared to industrial impacts for different countries/industries. If it’s not used to excuse apathy, correct information can help informing personal action.
Just change the language used to write it, if possible.
