Honestly, this article is pretty bad at explaining the problem here. It’s clear that other websites will try to track you, but the important part of this incognito drama is this:

The plaintiffs also accused Google of taking Chrome users’ private browsing activity and then associating it with their already-existing user profiles.

Yeah, those new avatars are so lame. Everyone just looks the same now; I can’t even recognize people I know IRL because they’re all a silly cartoon character. I can’t believe people actually rushed to use them

The fun thing most of these games aren’t even truly capitalist. City builders like Cities Skylines, Tropico and Anno have little or no free market and you’re just in control of a centralized planned economy.

The only truly capitalist games I saw on that list are X4 and Offworld Trading Company since you play as a single private owner competing with others on the market.

He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the board is just doing what ChatGPT tells them to.

And the easiest. But even if all animal products were eliminated worldwide tomorrow, it would probably still not be enough for the emissions target. So individual changes do not make a dent in the problem.

Here’s a crazy idea to make your population grow: how about not sending your people to die in a war?

Sounds a lot like the French Revolutionary Calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar#Months

Honestly didn’t read it all because the writing style is too verbose (the story about his kids sounds like the ravings of a LinkedIn Lunatic).

The thing is expiring money would do nothing for inequality since accumulation is only part of the problem. If top paying execs get 500 times the average income of their workers they still have 500 times more money, and the possibility to make even more of it, no matter how much it takes before it expires.

What I don’t get from the article and announcement is how exactly does the testing works. Are you supposed to find 20 people that volunteer to test your app on your own, or can you just publish it as an in-testing app on the Store? What if it’s a small app and you can’t find the 20 people to test it?

I don’t really understand what problems Google is trying to solve with all the changes to the Play Store in these last few years. As a user, the problem is not low quality apps that haven’t been tested. It’s low quality copy pasted “free” apps that use the most despicable dark patterns. It’s not moderating questionable content like normalizing police violence (created right after the BLM protests).

Yes, I understand it’s funny, that is why I posted it. I don’t understand how it helps the reviewer’s argument.

What, you’re saying the whole review is sarcasm? I am 99% certain it’s not: original

I’m not sure sarcasm against your own argument helps said argument.

That might apply to the ‘piece of shit’ part, but the ‘fascist’ and ‘racist’ part are true, and not damaging her reputation, as her reputation with her voters is built upon these

It’s not defamation if it’s true. Getting punished for stating the obvious is the hallmark of a fascist state. It’s fishy that the original video from Repubblica has been removed.
