Works that way on my Samsung as well, you just have to hit the circle button instead of the larger bluetooth button that encompasses it.

*doesn’t make enough money.

Things that mostly work with occasional minor problems that are easily diagnosed and fixed are still profitable… they just don’t maximise profitability.

Marketing videos, mostly. Ostensibly they’re original videos showcasing some of the talent and content from the previous year. The last couple of years have been particularly bland, though, as I understand it.

Maybe they just don’t know and are asking for community context.

Isn’t it saying that Enderman’s channel was linked (involved with, co-run by, some other AI based bullshit, etc) to a channel that had copyright strikes, and that the Japanese channel was the one with copyright strikes?

You’re trying to excuse apologist language. Telling me to define the world by their terms, not how the world is. If you want to accept that their way is the right way, that’s on you. But when you tell others, that’s just spreading their propaganda.

They may have a specific corpo-speak word for it that they have codified into law with liberal applications of money… but in effect it is still advertising.

Arguing the etymology is like a child abuser arguing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia. At the end of the day, they’re still a child abuser, no matter how they define it.

Promotions are a form of advertising. Just because they have the excuse that it’s advertising on their own service doesn’t make it not advertising.

If there’s only ever one avenue of attack, sure. Your example posits that encryption is the only security layer that exists, which is laughable. Most security breaches happen at the personnel level, not the technical one.

A site does not “become facebook” just because it’s not 100% decentralized from every other possible service. Countless other factors go into it. Not the least of which is the nature of the people running it. If you run a service, and make it nigh impossible for a general public (your main market) to use because you fear it will become compromised, you are basically saying that you will compromise it otherwise, and probably shouldn’t be running that service.

But only accepting one possible alternative is an extreme. You can build in safeguards… but if they’re too rigorous you will drive away potential users. Much like with freedom and security, you need to middle ground between accessibility and defensibility.

If only there were some kind of middle ground… sadly only extremes exist 😔

Oh, sorry, I’ll leave you to your specious argument.

They’re learned muscle memory.

Is this a tiny hands problem I’m too normal to have?

Is the little descriptive icon there the whole time? Is it there only when you try to use the gesture? It might be malicious if there was no warning at all and it just does it… but to me it seems like they’re just trying to apply intuitive design practices in their mobile site design.

Not everything is an attack, even if one feels attacked.

Yeah, but then they’re so fractured that the right takes back power within a generation.

The rule of internet polls is that the funniest answer is always over-represented.

Ah, so you see a mirror and you don’t like it.

I never said it didn’t happen, I said you had to take steps to make it not happen.

Why are you like this? With the incessant need to be right and everyone else wrong?

Ah, so not even speaking from experience, then.
