From the news I’ve seen this evening across the country the counter protestors seem to greatly outnumber the “protestors” this time around.
Considering how much worse Windows seems to get with each update and new version, Microsoft will soon be developing methods of invisibly install Windows updates to force them through.
I look forward to a future where the battle between Microsoft and malware brings Windows computers to a standstill in an endless loop of invisibly installing and removing updates.
The makeup of web users has changed a lot since 2010. The average web surfer was a lot less passive in attitude in decades past.
Yeah this feels like a move that would have worked a lot better before Reddit had burned a bunch of bridges with their most active users.
The pool of people with enough goodwill to pay now is likely small, and shrinking. The causal new users probably are that keen to pay up either.
Well, indirectly the Magic Mouse does control screen time. Can’t be doomscrolling when you can’t scroll at all while the mouse is charging.
I’ve never found Screen Time all that useful, for the same reason as the article - it can’t distinguish good usage from bad usage. Screen Time only counts time - but it can’t tell which minutes is doomscrolling and which are used more positively.
Maybe that’s an application for Apple Intelligence, although there would be some pretty big privacy issues there.
Screen Time is also not helped by only working on Apple devices. It can’t account for time spent using using non Apple devices like TVs, consoles, PCs with other operating systems etc. it might have been more useful if there was an external API screen time software for other platforms could report to.
Many of these people have existed since long before Brexit, but they now feel more emboldened to make public displays of themselves.
Normalisation of (ever further) right wing views in old media, extremism pipelines in social media, deepening division in culture generally, it’s all playing a part.
We need to start properly looking at the root causes of these attitudes if we want to make real progress. Both where they spread from and why they become accepted.
Not necessarily. A lot of the old aristocracy isn’t all that wealthy any more. Not uncommon to hear stories where only a handful of rooms in a country house are occupied because they can’t afford to heat the rest.
If we want to raise taxes the real target should be tackling the tax avoidance of enterprise.
We probably need a few more years of network and storage improvements to make open video platforms properly viable. Video data is big and bandwidth is expensive, which makes keeping servers running over a certain size difficult.
