  • If the aggregation site publishes enough of the news story within the aggregation site itself that the reader never follows the link the news site never gets a chance to show them ads.

    This whole problem is rooted in the idea that the internet should be paid for by corporate propaganda, so I don’t shed a tear for anyone on either side of this.

    Let me pay $5 a year for a login and give me an rss feed for your news network. I am now the customer and not a sack of attention that you’re using a minimum viable product to sell to your corporate owners. It’s a win win.







  • I’m already 90% done with YouTube since their discovery feature is totally broken. A feed with 40 videos, 25 of which I’ve already watched 5 that are right wing outrage porn and literally nothing I want to watch at all?

    I have a few subscriptions that are on floatplane, nebula or peertube already that’s pretty much all I watch on YouTube since it’s so enshittified.

    I’d happily pay for premium if yt would unfuck their suggestions, but if they decide to lock out adblock instead I’m totally gone.









  • I have never wanted any apple anything. The chassis styling is not my bag, the “innovations” they try to force on to the industry are even worse.

    I do admit that many many people think that it was peak laptop and apple still makes basically the same laptop.

    My daily driver is an asus g14. I can see framework getting popular and aftermarket chassis coming out that are more my preference.

    I still won’t spend an extra 35% for a laptop with swappable hardware, not when I can sell the whole thing into the used market for more than that 35% difference and get a whole new kit every 5 years.

    15% premium and a full customization market? That’s another question. Chicken and egg thing and I’m paying attention for my next actual replacement system.
