Based on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I’m sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.

Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.

Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.

In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.

I’m pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you’ll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.

It’s basically impossible to block everything, although most of what you listed in a comment is unavailable to websites. To minimize what is available you can use ublock origin, umatrix and user-agent switcher.

Literally the same reason why Ford sells 150s and 250s and Volvo sells 70s and 90s: They are different products and don’t base the version numbers on their competitor.

Yes, it’s obvious sarcasm. But reading comprehension has seriously gone to shit in the last decade or so.

Yeah, it’s very obvious that some of the people responding here don’t interact much with non-tech people, and they have DEFINITELY never worked IT.

Most people aren’t interested in learning the more intricate things. And if you try to force them, they’re not going to get more interested as they learn, because they literally are not interested in tech. They want to accomplish a task, if that takes a bunch of learning just for one thing, they’ll go a different route, or pay someone else to do it for them.

That has to be one of the most out of touch takes I’ve seen in a while. You’re basically saying that things should be intentionally more complicated, and you expect the result to be people just power through and getting used to things being that way, instead of just stopping.

This is what happens when leadership listens to tech-bros and ignore everyone else, including legal, ethics and actual tech experts.

They’ll be backpedaling like crazy and downplay it like a furby-style thing.

It’s just as real at the OilWell app.

This part is relevant, and shows that it is not reactionary or just based on recent events:

Moody’s warned in 2023 the US triple-A rating was at risk. Fitch Ratings downgraded the US in 2023 and S&P Global Ratings did so in 2011.

That has been debated to death before and it obviously depends on the writer and version of the characters, but in most cases neither are fully immovable or unstoppable. If they were, Juggernaut would probably just be redirected and keep going.

A little more practically speaking, Juggernaut wins easily:

• The Blob is a mutant who can basically lock himself to the ground with a short distance around him and become immovable in relation to the ground while being able to absorb most impacts to effectively eliminate the force experience by him and thus the ground.

• The Juggernaut is not a mutant, but an avatar of Cyttorak the Destroyer, the God/Demon ruler of the Crimson Cosmos dimension. He can tap into more and more of that power to the point where he can fight a somewhat angry Hulk on almost equal ground(he’s even defeated him with some help).

Even if you let Blob be immovable and able to ignore all kinetic force, he still has a big weakness: He’s not very superhuman when it comes to other forms of damage, or just pain in general. As demonstrated when he tried to go after one of the intelligent versions of Hulk. Hulk realized he couldn’t move or hurt him, so he grabbed his stomach and started pulling. It quickly hurt so much that he instinctively stopped anchoring himself to the ground. At which point he basically became an invincible bouncing ball since he can’t attach to the air. SoHulk treated him as one, until he sent him flying by using a big metal girder as a bat. And it’s important to note that Blob is not very strong or good at fighting when it comes to superhumans, since he basically just relies on his powers.

And to expand on the Crimson Cosmos: It is so powerful that Doctor Strange taps into it to contain Hulk. It’s even used to contain Thanos with most of the stones in the MCU(The red cloth strips that hold him is a spell called the “Crimson Bands of Cyttorak”)

I’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?

I worked IT for a newspaper back when they were more relevant. The satelite offices and in-field work had a surprising amount of problems like that.

Different use cases.

It’s not like your uploading and downloading gigabytes to it to use ffmpeg. For that you use something local. This is for converting smaller files conveniently. For example from a laptop and you don’t want to use a public converter that might keep the content.

If you regularly convert certain file types on a computer, dedicated programs tend to be better than these combo ones anyway.

PLEASE SKIM THE ARTICLE BEFORE COMMENTING

Here’s the part that most people seemed to miss:

With your permission provided at the time of downloading the app, the ACR software receives short duration audio samples from the microphone on your device.

Benefit of data managers: Tags for easier searching and grouping, grouping that is folder agnostic, easily choosing a thumbnail, and in text focused ones you can usually search the content of the files from one location and easily look through the results for the correct one, etc.

It’s a joke post. Which makes it extra funny, and quite sad, how many of the comment seem to think it’s serious and are unironically chiming in with complaints.

OPs username is “Peter Poopshit”, I wouldn’t take anything they post seriously.
