I’m ok with YouTube. I pay for a large music service and get no YouTube ads.

Every other service has only made things worse. Netflix has done the least by not yet pushing ads.

I liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.

Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.

They literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.

Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.

Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.

To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly

Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.

Local admin of your interactive account is just. Ad though.

I get into story games a lot more now. If it’s hard, repetitive, or a grind it simply isn’t fun, I have reality for those types of challenges.

Federation. Your email address could either be local creds, or federated with google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, etc.

When you submit your email address, it determines how you will be authenticating when you submit it.

I think it’s good if you have a strong immune system response to the vax. It means your immune system will be charged up with antibodies.

I always plan to take 1-2 days off after getting vaccinated.
