They can always refuse to serve me anything. That's equally fair.

Copyright lawsuits will save us from political discomfort? Is this bizzarro HN?

It's a tragedy in slow motion. Symptom or cause, this will make the next decades very bleak.

I think if we work one way for centuries until something happens to disrupt that, we can assume an eventual return to the average rather than "new normal" nonsense.

In my mind, the long term WFH for everybody at every company was temporary. To me that seems obvious. It was implicitly unambiguous.

Do you use an ad blocker?

I'm in a similar boat with one of many android app updates on Google Play. Over the last couple of weeks I pushed out updates to dozens of app listings with one app review rejected due to failing to disclose data my app absolutely does not collect. Specifically, a user's phone contacts. An app has to disclose on the store listing that type of data if it's transmitted off of the device. So I have this false positive with my initial appeal denied. I'm not sure how to move forward. Concede and change my Data Safety form on the listing? Insist false positive again? I'm in a bit of deadlock.

Without a doubt it originated there.

Is it? I would put citizen privacy and leveling the playing field above outright min/maxing share prices or GDP. Convince me.

Journalists should not be trusted. Articles like this especially, "X isn't Y", should be treated with skepticism and profound scrutiny. If ten media outlets come out with such articles, you can fairly safely assume X is in fact Y.

Observing this happen over a decade or so has been agony. Not just the text reviews and opinions, but the star ratings have gone from being completely reliable and coherent to being exactly the same as any pop movie review site. I enjoy sharing my Letterboxd diary and reviews with my film loving friends, but I find myself having to apologize for the top reviews for a given film after talking the service up so much.

I blame reddit, mostly.
