How is this even legal? So now suddenly every chromium extension has to go through a play store style review? How is Google entitled to do this on their competitor's browsers?

I've had assignments that involve editing a PDF template. So far, LibreOffice Draw has worked for me.

This community is about mildly infuriating: The little stuff that triggers us.

You mean rent premium (it's a subscription of course)

Forza Horizon 4 did this but worse. It would be an unskippable 2 minute video ad ignoring your volume settings. It only played 5 times in my 45 hours of gameplay but it was so damn unacceptable that it's reminding me to give that game a negative review.

Forza Horizon 5 does not do this. Get that game or something else instead.

They should allow premium users to use third party YouTube clients using an API, like Reddit before Spez's war on third party apps.

A motorcycle is cheap, fuel-efficient, and fun.

The uncomfortable part about the Sportster was actually how unexpectedly aggressive the riding position was. I expected laid-back similar to my GZ250 which is also a cruiser.

I am starting to think of ADVs as the SUVs of motorcycles. Usually, big, tall, off-road capable, comfortable, not particularly sporty, expensive, and trendy.

At the moment I am extremely budget-conscious so I'll be sticking with my 250 unless I find a smoking deal for another motorcycle. Currently I'm a college student that doesn't really need a motorcycle, but I really wanted one. Where I will be able to get a nice motorcycle is if I can spend my future car budget on a motorcycle instead...

I used that for a while specifically because of that feature. But I switched to uBlock origin when I found out it could block those autoplaying videos as well.

It is currently overhyped and so much of it just seems to be copying the same 3 generative AI tools into as many places as possible. This won't work out because it is expensive to run the AI models. I can't believe nobody talks about this cost.

Where AI shines is when something new is done with it, or there is a significant improvement in some way to an existing model (more powerful or runs on lower end chips, for example).

This might be a hot take here, but I'd be open to instances running a limited number of ads with minimal tracking to generate enough revenue to keep the instance afloat.

It's why I did use the official Reddit app at first when I started using Reddit. They can't bleed money forever. But when they kept making the app worse and worse and worse that's when I switched to third party apps. And after they killed those, I didn't have any sympathy for Reddit because I was sick of their continued greed.

That is two very different things. One is a terrorist group, the other are just humans trying to live their lives in safety. Same with Israel. The people are humans trying to live their lives in safety, but Netenyahu is incredibly corrupt and reports show that he is secretly propping up Hamas.

 

At least they got rid of the horribly designed all-in-one internet toggle, but this is still a pointless extra click. I have limited mobile data and disabling it helps with battery life. Stop being so pushy, Google!

 

I was watching a video on landscape mode on my phone on YouTube. And then when a wild midroll ad appears, the ad thinks it's a good idea to play a ultrawide-screen video inside a TikTok style vertical phone window, and then puts that in a widescreen video. The whole thing also got smaller to display the CTA at the right.

Which reminds me, I hate how YT ads on mobile try to forcibly cover up the entire screen. It's like seeing a billboard that suddenly expands to fill most of your vision. They didn't used to do that, instead they just took over the video portion of the screen, but you could keep browsing comments while the ad plays.
