They don't have to be legal. In Finland we are getting YouTube ads for a sports betting website. That's illegal. (Only the nationally regulated gambling monopoly can do that, and even they have massive restrictions on what kind of advertising they can run.)
In the off chance that you can report the ad to YouTube (can't do that on TV or Android), YouTube has nuked the ad. Doesn't matter. The ad has been submitted via bazillion different advertiser accounts.
The skip button was already too small, so of course they had to make it even smaller. YouTube's usability on Android is already terrible enough, which is pretty spectacular considering YouTube and Android are made by the same company. The seek bar barely works. The video end screen hides the de-maximise button. Nobody at Google has heard of the concept that controls at the edge of the screen are harder to aim accurately at. Just to scratch the surface!
You know, at this point, any sensible company will take a single look at Musk's tantrums and decide that advertising on Twitter is a massive legal liability they cannot afford. Not only is their public image in danger because the content is so badly moderated and offensive content is allowed, but Musk threatens to sue them if they even consider terminating their existing campaigns. Heck, this is to say nothing about the impersonators. The only way for brands to stay safe is to get the hell out and just state that they have no official presence on Twitter. Staying on Twitter is just a disaster waiting to happen.
In Finnish language we already have the kinda rare expression "rapakon takana" ("behind the mud puddle") about stuff that's happening in America.
Well of course it has a picture of his parents fighting (???) in it. Dude's a severely messed up right-winger.
Newspaper Nerds appreciation day! ...Maybe. The dude's political signalling was fucking all over the place.
I'm so glad Xbox One toned down some of the always online rubbish before it actually launched. It wasn't that bad, fortunately. I have to say Xbox One user experience was pretty meh compared to Xbox 360 in the first year and half or so.
These days, Xbox One and Series S/X are pretty great, but unfortunately ever since the Xbox One launch I've adopted the "let's not get too hyped up about this because Microsoft just might drop the ball a little bit" mindset. Especially as a Halo fangirl.
I was a Slashdot user.
People kept hyping Digg as a Slashdot replacement, but trying to submit posts was actually even more futile in practice than trying to submit articles to Slashdot editors. So much bigger hivemind too. Boring unfunny comment section.
When I first joined Reddit, it seemed like it was mostly populated by Slashdot refugees. Just people posting awesome shit. Great riveting discussions, even before anyone actually read the articles. That sort of stuff.
Funny thing, in ISO 8601 date isn't separated by colon. The format is "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+hh:mm". Date is separated by "-", time is separated by ":", date and time are separated by "T" (which is the bit that a lot of people miss). Time zone indicator can also be just "Z" for UTC. Many of these can be omitted if dealing with lesser precision (e.g. HH:MM is a valid timestamp, YYYY-MM is a valid datestamp if referring to just a month). (OK so apparently if you really want to split hairs, timestamps are supposed to be THH:MM etc. Now that's a thing I've never seen anyone use.) Separators can also be omitted though that's apparently not recommended if quick human legibility is of concern. There's also YYYY-Wxx for week numbers.
I use Firefox and I'm kind of old school, I don't usually leave tabs open.
I just have a bookmark folder for temporary bookmarks. All 500 of them.
