My money’s on Chappers filling in.

Cheers - this would work, but first requires whitelisting all the sources you’re happy to see news from, rather than simply not showing you news from sources you’ve blocked.

I mean, this is specifically mildly infuriating, and there are other positives to it.

Fair enough. Although I would say that the magazine aspect (which I use it for primarily) couldn’t really adhere to that. The printed publications that you’d buy in a newsagent contain printed ads. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not different. Paper copy or digital, you’re getting ads with whichever one you pay for.

Isn’t it the publications themselves that contain the ads rather than the app itself?

Well now I’m going to have to try it aren’t I.

Not sure I’d agree, as the sources are configurable, but this sort of shit is far from a great user experience.

Apple Arcade for me

To be fair, the magazines available on News+ are great. I have Apple One because it covers all the household’s music/storage/fitness solutions for a reasonable price (considering how many people are on my subscription). News+ is included, and the list of magazine subscriptions bundled within it is surprisingly extensive. The app’s not perfect though, as this crappy design shows.

Not worth giving them the traffic

It’s the fucking Daily Mail, and should be completely avoided anyway.
- Comment on In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny? 2 months ago:
As a Brit, I have to agree. So many of the skits that have been shared over the years are terrible, and I have to wonder if it’s a cultural divide.
On the other hand, the weekend update where the guys swap jokes is some of the best comedy I’ve seen.

If you replace a word with it’s synonym, will it still have the same meaning

Several
- Comment on Useless Calendar Widget 3 months ago:
Completely agree, this is garbage, and I’ve bitched about it in the past. Annoyingly, both the Gmail and Outlook widgets are far better, but I don’t want either of those on my phone.

That’s why we take no chances and mow them down with blue light vehicles.
- Comment on "Hacked" Instagram 7 months ago:
None of the messages that were sent to people have appeared in the chat history for that person. Except there are two new chats in her messages to people that she doesn’t know, containing only the rogue message.
Interestingly, her entire chat history with me has been wiped.
