I’d argue it’s different in the case of Pixel phones. In that case they’re controlling nearly 100% of the phone experience which probably allows them to maximize data collection

Businesses hire contractors


I’d argue it’s already a small minority of users. Any change is very likely to be negative
That would severely cripple remote work/collaboration, which is essential for all megacorps. Unless there’s some sort of carve out for that I don’t see it happening
Yes, it was soft rebooted for S6-7 because of a major event at the end of S5. About half the cast turned over, though they return for appearances. Ending was pretty satisfying, didn’t feel too forced. The DVD box set is pretty nice, though I don’t have a lot of those to compare against
Facebook abandoned their Libra cryptocurrency plans due to social and political pressures
100% Pebble
No resume feature kind of ruins it for me
You joke but for the visually impaired that is absolutely a service in demand. Check out Be My Eyes if you want to volunteer
Humans. Not a joke. Computers can generate a best guess, but they don’t hold a candle to human understanding and expression


If files were easily accessible between profiles, wouldn’t that harm the privacy of having multiple profiles?


A la carte pricing has gone out the window in favor of bundles. This enables the same subsidization model of business used by Apple, Google, etc. Even when you pay, they display ads and reminders to get you to upgrade to higher tiers. Drive launched in beta only for paid users. Drive now encourages the use of their proprietary document format. They hand out storage bonuses for each year of membership. That’s not a sustainable long-term practice and purposefully creates stickiness. Generally speaking, they don’t have easy export tools, so they’re not very interoperable. Forwarding emails sent to @proton.me or @protonmail.com addresses to a new inbox is not possible unless you’re a paying customer, which makes switching more difficult.


Moved from Proton to Mullvad to Windscribe
Proton kept getting worse and is moving towards a walled garden.
Mullvad seemed great on the private payment front. Their apps are pretty solid. The device limit was too low for me. For 6-10 devices the price doubles.
Windscribe won me over with their build a plan option. Their apps aren’t the most visually appealing but get the job done.


Didn’t they go hard promoting Web3?


Almost all of the big websites have parental control settings that would alleviate the vast majority of these “problems” if parents actually used them.
Nope. Parental controls in general suck and are often bare bones just for a semblance of legal compliance. Parents don’t have access to every device children have access to either
This could really use a lightweight web interface. A wall of text with open-ended prompts is going to turn a lot of folks away. Maybe I’ll reach out to the author and see about extending it


The EU is developing their own centralized system
How is it the most effective option? They seem to cover less sites than others
