You can configure your Gmail account to forward emails to your new account and then update your contact information gradually. That's what I did when I moved out years ago and I know it's still working, because now and then my Gmail account still receives some spam that Google helpfully forwards to me.

Reducing the economic viability of public services is really sticking it to the man. /S

What car company does he work for?

I wouldn't even go that far. People are not taking a pair of scissors to every printed newspaper and even vandalism of outdoor ads is minimal, so it's not that people hate ads in general, they mostly hate intrusive and distracting ads which is only made worse when tracking makes it feel more like stalking than advertisement. TLDR: people don't hate ads, they hate Google Ads.

Ironically, despite Apple's whining to get to this point, between this, and the EU forcing them to adopt USB-C, and, hopefully 3rd party stores and browsers, I may consider an iPhone for my next phone.

It's a pity you almost need to point a gun to their head for them to consider unshittifing their products.

Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Ah yeah, an enlightened centrist meme, coming directly from the deranged minds that think trying to take the middle road when one the sides is blatantly against human rights is a moderate position.

I'm going to play the devil's advocate here and point out that Green Card holders being chained to an employer is not Apple's fault.

Of course, everyone knows you start development of a new game from the code base of the previous, but you aren't allowed to change or delete any of the old code, you need to copy paste the functions and append a version number. It's called version control.

Why delete unused code and assets or optimize anything when your player base built their personality around your game? They will buy a 3rd SSD at the same time they buy the same game for the 4th time.

I work for a large online retailer for 10 years and I can assure I never worked more than 40 hours per week in that time period, and I've been part of the on-call rotation for half of it.

And besides, overworking software engineers is a stupid waste of money because our productivity starts going to shit even before the 40 hours, let alone on overtime.

Luckily https://www.omegle.com/ has the exact same text, it's the actual source, and it works fine on mobile.
