I am a little disgusted by this because now both major browser engines are being developed by an advertising company, creating more incentives for future web technologies that strengthen tracking and undermine ad blocking.

From what I understand, this is an anonymized targeted ad company. In other words, ads are still targeted to the individual user, it is just harder for the advertiser to track (or profile) an individual user. Are there any companies still doing untargeted ads, ads where the advertiser might pick what site their ad goes on but cannot target a specific user demographic?

Ok, but why? If I want news, I will look at a news site. I want tweets and videos, I almost always want content from the creators that I subscribe to.

The chatter around the water cooler at my office is that this may kill Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux (at least as downstream forks of RHEL). It will be very painful for companies that want RedHat support for their production systems but don’t want to pay for RHEL licenses for developer test beds.

I send photos and videos via MMS all the time and they work fine, but almost everyone I message is an Android user.

Maybe an issue on the back end skipping over all of the new private subs? I assume that many of the big subs had popular posts just before they went private, so the server has to spend more time skipping over private posts when rendering popular?

First and foremost, get third party clients working again. I am used to RiF. I tried the official app. It was very busy but showed much less useful information per screen. I could not even even leave it installed on my phone. It kept spamming (shitty) notifications to try to goose my engagement, even after I disabled them.

Anger about bad corporate decisions fades, but if I cannot comfortably use a site, I cannot come back.
