So who are the good guys, mind you telling? As far as I'm aware, currently it's a choice between Chromium based browsers and Firefox and its forks. So really just 2 options in the grand scheme of things.

Same here, I liked seasons 1-3 better than books 1-3 but books 4-6 better than seasons 4-6. And then there's the amazing books 7-9 which sadly didn't get adapted at all.

Are you suggesting that Trump is a supe with superhuman healing abilities?

But I mean, it's the same thing as this FB/IG case, no? Only worse because even if you pay, you still have ads.

The biggest Czech website (Seznam.cz) recently changed their policy and now force you to choose between: free tier with personalised ads or paid tier with anonymous ads. Yes, you're reading it right, even if you pay, it doesn't get rid of ads, they just stop tracking you. I have no idea whether it's legal but the EU should definitely take a look.

Edit: Ok, I think they only offer you this choice when you're using an account. I tried it in a private tab and it seems I can decline personalized ads there. Does that make it legal? If yes, then they're some sneaky bastards.

Seriously, all the other photos from the event are pretty meh but this one is World Press Photo material.

By they way, I just found out that they removed the button, but typing cache:www.example.com into Google still redirects you to the cached version (if it exists). But who knows for how long. And there's the question whether they'll continue to cache new pages.

I mean, I might have considered paying for YT premium if I thought it offered some value (other than disabling ads) but I won't sure as hell pay for anything that any company is trying to blackmail me into.
