  • This may be why Apple's Weather app doesn't show 69-degree temperatures

    What a sad state of the human condition when people complain about some temperature numbers not displaying.  Seriously.  Is this part of the new "woke" fad?
    What a sad state of the human condition when people reach this far to blame a social equity movement for something that has nothing to do with it.

    Second that. Just wish we could also get rid of junk mail from USPS. 

    rob53 is now my new best friend. My thoughts for years exactly! In fact I'm a bit more extreme, and often wondered why snailMail mail exists in the first place.
    I'm not going to bother to try and find a website that documents the percentage of advertising mail the USPS delivers because they would probably fake most of it but I'm sure what we call junk mail accounts for at least 75% of product delivered by USPS. When you include the Wednesday food ads, that alone by weight and square inches accounts for 70-80% of what I receive. Real mail accounts for at most 5% (bills, letters from real people, etc.) with the rest credit card applications and requests for money. If we got rid of the junk mail, the USPS could move real mail a lot quicker but would probably have to let 30-40% of mail carriers go. Truthfully, I am fine with receiving real mail twice a week. Even then I might only get a few pieces of mail a month. All my bills are paperless except for those that have to be delivered, like my Costco rebate check in February. 😉
    Internet traffic was once declared to be mostly spam. It’s an old stat, and I don’t recall the source, but I would love to see new stats. Streaming video eats a lot of bandwidth, but a lot of that is unsolicited video on news pages and ads interspersed around YouTube and Hulu videos. Email is probably 98% spam. Search engine results tend to show at least 50% of all websites are fake, designed to be click bait for search engine crawlers. Every news and aggregator site screams about ad blockers (some are possible to evade with reader mode, but not all)...

    Most of the bandwidth/data usage of the Internet is probably garbage no one asked for, and only corporations, exploitative businesses, and scammers want there.

    I don’t see how enough time has gone by for there to be numbers like this. I am assuming these are FUD claims to bash the privacy directive.

    Also, if they’re suffering at all, they’re suffering from self-inflicted wounds. Advertisers have created a culture where they are hated by non-advertisers, and for good reason.

    If the UK market becomes too toxic then leaving it may not be a bad thing. Apple is a for profit business and if the market condition isn’t profitable whats the point of been on it? Besides is not like the UK market is as big as the EU market.
    The EU market is also getting toxic.
    Stopping corporations from ruling the world, destroying our environment, and dictating terms to entire nations is “toxic”, by you...?
