Reddit has a lot more tracking and fingerprinting going on in their own app too that they obviously want you there for. Once you log into multiple accounts, it fingerprints you as the same user on all accounts. I had a few accounts; a work related one and a couple personal ones. Ended up with a temporary ban on one from a dick head mod, and ALL of them got banned together for 7 days because of that with a message (forget the exact wording so I'm paraphrasing) basically saying "don't try to make another account to get around the ban because we'll still know its you". They're mining the shit out of user data now, and also really starting to connect the dots on multiple account holders which I'm guessing will be to "deal with" people who detract from their IPO goals. Glad I left.

Former 2012 Forte owner here - first engine made it to 90k, second one was knocking already about 2k in. Basically walked from a freshly paid off vehicle and bought a Toyota.
Huge industries emerging in this field right now for everything from this type of social media moderation to helping fight CSAM more effectively so humans aren't having to be a frontline for that type of material. This is one area I can really, really get behind AI on and see a very valid use case that isn't just marketing hype like so many others. I know there's some great stuff happening just based on my own field of employment and being close to a few things in the works this year.
I downgraded from the top tier to that grandfathered one when they announced it was going away. Not holding my breath it'll be immune to price hikes for long. We haven't watched anything on there in months and will definitely cancel if they hike it.
I feel like with the storage space and bandwidth needed for something like that that anyone with the money to start a true competitor would probably just be another mammoth tech company we all hate just as much :(

This is incorrect unless you're providing a source. I follow several space nerd sites and they do dedicated launches. Here's an article even showing the payload setup - which fills the cargo bay. https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/02/20/next-spacex-launch-to-deploy-fewer-starlink-satellites-into-higher-orbit/
Here's a source that debunks that claim. This has a picture of the cargo bay for a starlink flight - she full, and full only of their satellites. https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/02/20/next-spacex-launch-to-deploy-fewer-starlink-satellites-into-higher-orbit/
I'm not a public servant and my company uses Canada Life - hands down the absolute WORST company for benefits I've dealt with in my life. They regularly deny things we have coverage for, despite paying regularly for those things for many years. Email and support - forget about it. Every email I've ever sent them has an average response time of 6 WEEKS and it's usually some bullshit response that requires another reply from my side, and another 6 week turnaround for a reply back. I know it'll be several months to resolve any issue I need to email them about. It took us the better part of a full year to get thousands paid for fertility stuff that was fully covered under my plan - we literally did the treatment because the coverage was there and were stuck floating the money while they gave us the runaround. Everyone around our office has horror stories of these guys, HR even jokes about them.
Although I haven't set mine up yet, I feel like RSS is the best way to go. There's lots of news aggregation apps out there, but we need to keep in mind that those are all using some sort of algorithm to determine what surfaces to you, and that if you aren't paying for the app that they need to make money somehow and keep pulling you back in - without knowing how the algorithms work, these could be favoring news that's "engaging" which isn't necessarily an even distribution of everything from the media outlets you like to follow. RSS gives you exactly what you put into it for feeds and you can determine what to read or skip over at least.
Having said that, even my 83 year old father can navigate his way to CBC, CTV and Toronto Star without issue, and he still gets a paper home delivered. He’s only ever gone to FB for family stuff, never news. I’m not sure how much effect Zuck’s hissy fit is going to have on most people.
I recently got a library card with comes with free access to PressReader. To be honest, I've found myself really enjoying reading digital copies of paper newspapers again through it. I can finally just read an article and not have to have it immediately followed by all the bullshit comments that social media and the direct news agency websites have. It felt so simple and fresh.
The first paragraph is just about every city in Canada right now. Can't even mow our front lawn with the garage open because they run into your garage and snatch it before you can run after them. Although I haven't heard of quite the extremes of the second paragraph here yet.
