Kinda new on here but am loving the bare bones feel to the forum. The karma bit in my previous comment was added as a sarcastic aid. I personally don't care much for gaining karma. Thank you for this extra context. Very…
Except I (throwawei) had to login to another account (this one) to reply you as the downvotes triggered some soft ban limit on the account from replying/commenting. So much for free speech... I would post photos holding…

I enjoyed Mad Men. But comparing web advertising today to the 70-80s is disingenuous. Fact of the matter is, advertising today / web marketing relies on user tracking. I'm yet to see anyone debunk this.

Not true. Facebook doesn't do any of this automatically, manner of speaking, unless the user explicitly informs the addon to do so.
This looks like simply naive thinking. Without evidence to backup your statement about Apple, everything about it breaks the cardinal rule of the ads business.
Not enough. Need to see it go down 20-30% more. The BTC pump craze needs to die down so my diamond hands can buy it from the weak hands.
Ouch. I can relate to a bit of some of your issues. What saved me from all these seemingly mysterious bugs is going with a pure Arch system. I was using Manjaro at the time and it wasn't fun patching it just so that it…
After using a Linux distro as my main desktop OS, there was no way I was ever going back to the monstrosity that is Windows. No matter how bad Linux sucks in some regards, it is the black sheep of the family that will…
Brave just like other Chromium-based browsers will link any logged in Google accounts to browser data/history. How much of this data is sent back to Google should be the question here. Am not qualified enough to give…
Just because you (unique use case) don't see the problem doesn't mean it does not exist (for the common average user). The whole browser "sync" you get with Chrome is much more than keeping your bookmarks. It is a…
Happy user as well. I use it as a hackish solution for ssh-ing to my closed-down homelab. I love how well their authentication & security is modelled. This is great news for them.
Accurate. Gotta keep the engines of crypto trading churning.
Not in defence of big tech but Australia is doing this whole news business laws wrong and for the wrong reasons. [0] Only good is that this serves as a nice reminder that big tech & co. that they are not independent of…
True. But that was not my argument.
A customer won't order through 3rd party app if the restaurant doesn't partner to sell through them. Same case for internet marketing. What you should feel bad about are the excessive commission fees charged by those…
Ah yes. Thanks for the memory. So they effectively cut their ad spend on Facebook by 2/3rds (an experiment) and saw virtually no difference between the two budgets. An obvious indication of reporting fraud.
I remember not too long ago Uber cancelling previous arrangements with Facebook advertising over a similar fraud.
Direction regarding this help info would be appreciated
Epic's move (if it succeeds) would have a direct positive effect on the consumer. Across the board. It's not a gamer issue anymore. It is now bigger than them.
How you don't see Epic's move as a win for Apple users is ironic given how pro-consumer you seem to perceive Apple to be.
