I’ll go research that, thanks for the heads up!

I saw a rumor mill style post that Apple was going to allow sideloading of apps. If so, that’ll probably get me to switch. These changes and choice in software eliminates my gripes with iOS vs. Android.

As a point of clarity, I think both suck. But if Apple removes it’s disadvantages (even if by force) and is the more privacy respecting option out of the box, it makes sense to me.

a not-insignificant number of users will simply abandon YouTube if this keeps up.

I regetfully disagree. I think very few people will leave the platform and that the additional revenue generated from those that use adblockers but allow YouTube ads will easily cover the difference of those that do.

I don’t say this to discourage boycotting. Fuck google, do it if you want to!

I like Arch, but I don’t think it’s a good fit for the fed up with Windows crowd.

Also true.

Whenever I see these Musk posts, I always think the title can usually be reduced to 3 or 4 words. In this case, “Elon shouldn’t be trusted”.

NFT’s never made much sense to me, at least in the way people attempted to use them.

Maybe they’d be useful as additional proof of ownership of a physical object? Like if they issued one when you bought a car, and you could use it as proof of ownership if you lost your title. That’s probably a bad example as I imagine there’s already safeguards in place for this in most places. And probably some other issues that haven’t occurred to me. Still, conceptually I think it makes sense.
