This is in every way superior.

The American version of those are fun. Two months before the expiration date, stored in a dark space around 50F or less, they separate into globs. Not spoiled, just separated. Globs settle in the bottom of coffee. Once you get enough air in there, you can shake the everloving shit out of it, and the globs break apart into a delightful foam that floats on top.

There sure are, and if necessary they can be applied and are good practices in general. As long as these web sites still see user traffic, monetized or not, even with users using workarounds, they’ll keep thinking what they are doing is cool, and the only problem is that they just have to monetize harder, and then “obviously” all those workaround users will fall in line and monetize like everyone else once they’ve “fixed the glitch”.
If they see a void of user traffic, that gets their attention. Of course, for the person viewing the content, the person has to make a conscious choice to go elsewhere/watch something else/do something else. Would be a good time for content creators to start shifting as well. Patreon even lists a bunch of video services that are not YouTube: …patreon.com/…/360046704651-What-are-my-video-hos…

When I see content blocks like that anymore, I just leave the content behind and go elsewhere. Malicious companies will not get my clicks. They can fuck right off.
Good sign though, means they are getting desperate. It is our duty to starve them of traffic.

Rabbit ears are cheap and don’t need internet. PlutoTV, Samsung TV, Roku TV all exist. So many free choices.

I only decided to set up a personal AWS for some minor things after having worked on it at employers for many years, after watching employers accidentally spend $3000 a day or $1 million a month or $35,000 in error. Cloud is the devil, bring back servers. One flat piece of hardware you can do whatever with…but even that’s not sacred. If you use hosted servers, the hosts often still charge for ingress/egress and other things now, so you still fall into traps if not careful. Simpler though.
So I guess, storing your own server in your office is the way to go, but then the ISP issues…
Let us all just go back to paper, actually.

Play store does the same game.

For apps with generic update messages that also have source control and changelogs available: check to see how often the updates are just a manifest version bump and nothing more. Way greater than zero.
Most version revs for apps are just to reset review count and bury negative reviews with “review of an older version”.
It’s all gamification of walled gardens. Walled gardens that need to die.

Leave Google.
