$70 is typical for that, except it's 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.

It's one of those "it depends" things. I've been working on a pretty data-dense webapp and as time goes on we've been shaving bits of padding off and instead relying on elevation and borders to signify the UI hierarchy of the app.

For normie apps where there's hardly anything to present, I think all the spacing helps people not get overwhelmed as much.

At 10-11 minutes they get a second ad roll, so 99% of videos are about this length.

It's almost a certainty that a 2:30 video has more information than an 11:01 video.

DuckDuckGo manages it mostly fine. At least, the results are more consistent, even if there's the 1-in-50 chance it misses something Google would get.

The cynic in me suspects that Google makes their real results worse to increase ad results which are "close enough."

Took a bit for me to even figure out what "moral values" was supposed to mean in this context.

Turns out they just think porn is evil and that children hate being exposed to it or something. https://swisscows.com/en/media-education

Seems like the actual issue was that the law in question would let him be convicted even if he wasn't doing these things and just being a nuisance. It's not that he's innocent, it's that the law used is itself illegal.

They literally bought a third party app that they rebranded as the official one. Reddit only has an app because of third party apps.

Yeah, they're not pushing it because it matches some far-right authoritarian ideology Meta itself has, they're pushing it because conservatives taunting libs who fall for it and try to talk reason into conservatives drives tons of engagement.

I keep thinking that should be a logo for a Vbin instead

Yep. Reddit is going to die, the question was how quick and what do we do about it.

Like, reddit might stay around as another 9gag, but that's not really reddit then.

about the Lemmy devs

I mean, the devs haven't made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.

Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs "in charge" even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.

This is how they are

I don't really like it when people think this. Every group of humans has people that would do this given the chance. Otherwise I agree, that Russian leadership really doesn't care what their soldiers are doing, so the soldiers do what they want with zero accountability or fear of retaliation.
