Oh, I am sure American cars are even bigger, but that does not mean we should like the trend.

Europe used to laugh at American big cars, but recently the cars on our roads get bigger and bigger too :-(

‘doctoring’ can go both ways. Embedding gives more ‘doctoring power’ to original poster and X.

He already got the maximum punishment possible in this office and the case will be passed to the prosecutor. Practically every party in the parliament condemned the incident. Even his colleagues from the far-right party were not eager to defend Braun.

And, of course, PiS, while rightfully condemning this behaviour, used it as an excuse to try to once again delay settings up the new government.

Poland: not much surprise. These have just proved how the previous government destroyed education here.

Note: one of the first decision the new government is to make is a significant raise for teachers, but all the damages done over last 8 years won’t be that easy to fix.

They would say: that was because you used the cheaper service instead of us and they botched the repair. It is only a problem for NEWAG because the world found out.

What is more interesting, Google came as a more friendly alternative, with drastically less ads than Alta Vista and other search engines of that time had. Today’s Google is only just approaching now the amount of ads on the search results page that those had. It is just a bit smarter about mixing ads with actual search results and the ads are more targeted (which is not necessarily a good thing).

But all this is available in desktop Firefox. Partially built-in, partially via add-ons. The mobile version is very limited.

Still, there is place for competition, people just need to stop expecting these services to be completely free of charge. When Google ‘fees’ (data collection and ads) will stop being hidden or easily avoidable other companies will be able to provide similar services for a fair price.

Glyphosate is still one of the safest herbicides in use. Banning it could have bigger environment impact than allowing it.

This paymemt does not even stop their crappy ‘recommended for you’ suggested content on user’s wall, which is even more annoying than the ads.

But is it a clickbait in this case? The title is exactly the question the article thoroughly answers.

‘supporting the dictatorship’ is the easiest way to live relatively safe life there. It is hard to blame people for trying to survive. Yes that is not a healthy society, but that is not easy to change.

Probably most other apps are correctly signed with the same certificate on both sites.

You say content creators should not be paid for their work? And Google should provide all those servers and bandwidth for free?

The old business model could not last forever… and even if it could it was not good for anyone.

Think about it

Hosting videos is expensive, someone has to pay for it. It was mostly paid by ads. Ads which many (most people) would block and many people would not ever click even when not blocked. But it still made money… The money come only from ads which 1) where not blocked 2) where at least clicked. The business relied on that.

So YT relied on ads targeting people who did not know how to block ads and people easy to manipulate by the ads (eager to buy whatever they are trying to sell). Probably not the brightest. Or just easy to be taken advantage of. So the incentive would be to promote content for those people. Not good content, not true content, just content that makes ads viewed and clicked.

People using ad-blocks were still affected by those who do not. And whole site was optimized for advertises not viewers or content creators. And that is bad.

I am all in favour of any direct form of payments instead of ads powering the internet. Sites get very little money for each view anyway – so the prices for users should also be quite small.

Unfortunately as long as ads are supposed to be normal part of internet, they may get forced even onto paying customers. We need regulations.

The loans are not just a symptom. Is probably the main cause of current college prices. Prices would not be so high if students would not be given money to pay them.

Some trains may have the same function as buses or trams in other places (and metro… is metro a train here?), so the everyday commute of people in city A may not be that different than commute in city B, when first uses trams, and the second one has a local rail network with light trains. Actually the trains would probably have bigger negative impact on environment and life conditions in this scenario.

It was, but also we have the same time in most EU, so at the west or east extremities either winter or summer time is quite wrong (or even both). Synchronized time is handy for international relations, though.
