Stakeholder, in this case: the government

This is not about capitalism. They will lose money on it long term and they know it otherwise they'll done it long ago.

This is move to moderated censored platform under regulatory "protect the children" pressurre and hysteria.

This is not affecting publishing games for 16+ audience.

Is that accurate description though?

Capitalism: Shareholders need to be satisfied every year.

They are making some very good specialised models, like Voxtral

I don't believe that is/was the real, complete algorithm. It has no 'boost elon' code

Digital Sovereignty for Europeans is impossible with US based companies

Pitty that it only operates on Gcloud. Makes it not European

I hear you! Right now that is a constraint even if we have regions in EU and Switzerland.

You can easy deploy Zitadel to Hetzner though ;-)

Even more embarassing is that the article adds really nothing to whatever was written before about rss. Probably gobbled up by AI

I'm glad that this site at least left ~10% of the screen on my phone to read the article, next to all banners and newsletter ads. It's not 5%, great!

There is also the original ESA post with a lot less ads and correctly implemented opt out from analytics https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Techn...

I'm genuinely curious: I'm sure you know about the existence of ad blockers. They're not exactly new technology. I'm sure you also know that everyone here knows about ad blockers. So I'm genuinely wondering: what does it do for you to complain about the ads here? Especially in a way that some will no doubt take as you never having heard of ad blockers?

How do I get an as blocker onto the iPhone default browser?

I have used 1Blocker for years and it has worked great. There are many others all using the same principle. It also allows me to have a custom rule to disable JS entirely on some sites.

not as good as most desktop ones but:

other options: https://fmhy.pages.dev/mobile#ios-adblocking

There’s lots in the App Store.

Use U-Block origin. At this point I consider it a necessity for accessibility. I find it impossible to read anything with animated or video adverts. I truly cannot focus on the text. It's user-hostile, ableist, and content producers that continue using them can go fuck themselves. I have no ethical qualms about depriving them of revenue.

The ads delivery ecosystem billing is generally structured around impressions not click through rate (which depends a lot on the nature of the ad). So yes it does.

Good.

You're getting 10% of content? I get 0% because of the impassible cloudflare wall.

I use Rethink app to block most of the ads and trackers. It works like VPN so with all apps, not just web browser.

Which means I have 100% of the screen available :)

It's crazy, sometimes I get 22 mb, sometimes 27, one time even 57.8!!!

love it!

What a bs. It still grows. Beyond meet was just not unique enough to justify the valuation
