You are supposed to get a credit so the bank can effectively own you.

Let it stand. If ads are an integral part of the work and its message, let's make the website owners fully legally responsible for the content of every single ad they display. If any ad contains malware or is a scam let's throw the C-suite in jail for it.

That would solve most of the issues with ads really fast.

Probably because PPAs only work on Ubuntu and there are more Linux distros and even then it meant having to build and test a package for a couple of different Ubuntu versions.

Yes. It's Dystheism.

She's generally good at managing her public persona, except when it comes to her ~~pollute more than a small city machine~~ private jet addiction. When people show you who they really are, believe them.

Since then, Yvette’s pulled the same “trick” four times, although she insists she doesn’t see herself as a shoplifter and is “a goody goody” by nature: “I earn a reasonable amount in my senior position, drive an SUV, and live in a desirable postcode. Before my divorce, our girls attended private school.”

This kind of ÜberKarens are the reason we can't get nice stuff. Actions of people like her will be used to crack down on people that literally can't afford basic needs and to reduce the privacy of everyone else, while making the service shittier at the same time.

And she has the gall of calling her self a "goody goody". Bullshit, no one so self entitled is a nice person.

So, they went to the trouble of keeping a different set of functionalities just for Europe instead of unshittifying Windows for everyone. Wow.

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.

It doesn't really matter, they don't expect you to get everything right on these. While most of the time you need to get mostly right (Google is using these to train their AI so often they are not sure themselves), they are also looking at other things, like how you move your mouse, and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human. If you pass a certain threshold they let you through, and you can do it even if you miss a square.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Good on your sister for not losing track of what makes her happy. Not doing things just because they are "childish" is the most childish trait an adult can display.

He sounds like the kind of guy that was shutting down random servers and firing people until things visibly stopped working.

The increase in the number of bots made up for the rest. The "pay a small fee to get an I'm definitely human sticker" scheme was really popular in the misinformation community.
