You don’t have to click that button though. I got the free bundle without clicking it anyway.

Plus you could use it to drop down the notification window with a gesture. It was handy.

I get what you are saying, but I just can’t get too upset about it in this case for some reason.

Force the creator to flag the sponsor section and then filter it out. Then compensate the creator for the view using the $17 premium subscription.

Generally an Unpopular opinion
You’re 100% correct though. Sponsors are exactly (long) ads and I have no personal problem skipping them after paying $17 a month for premium. If a creator has a problem with that they should take it up with Google. I’m paying for ad free, and that’s what I expect.
If sponsorblock breaks I will be reevaluating my premium sub. Not that it will have a meaningful impact on Google or anything, but I’m just fucking sick of ads and am not going to pay to remove them and still get ads delivered to me.
- Comment on The decline of Intel.. 6 months ago:
Maybe. In the past they have always been able to rely on their dominance in the PC market. With consumers shifting away from this, I don’t think it’s so straight forward and in other emerging markets like AI they are way behind.
At least they are finally putting actual money into R&D. This article was a really good read. Will be interesting to see how and if Intels investments pay off.
- Comment on Android's new anti-theft features 6 months ago:
If you have a Samsung phone you can try something similar now called secure folder. Search in your options to create. Then you can install apps in there and all the apps and data are sandboxed from the rest of your phone. You can’t access the data from the main phone and apps in the secure folder don’t have access to your main phone.
I have one setup for my banking app and other apps I would prefer to be private. Have to enter a password to get access to that area and it is encrypted when locked. It works real well.
- Comment on Kagi silently removed all references to Google's index from their website 6 months ago:
This is disappointing. Due to Kagi requiring an account and billing I would say transparency should be vitally important for a them since privacy concerns are going to be a large reason a lot of people are looking to switch from Google in the first place. It’s always a concern brought up when search alternatives are discussed in forums and the “just trust me BRO” is going to start to ring kind of hollow if they play little games like this.

Early Netflix was pretty close.

Well your leaving window ME out of that list which came right after 98SE and is widely considered a turd. I also wouldn’t put 2000 in with them as it was an operating system designed for business use while the other 2 were consumer oriented.
95, 98, 98SE might be a pretty decent stretch though. NT4, 2000, and XP could be a good stretch on the business side. If you ignore NT4’s poor driver support.

Jesus that website needs to die, it’s such a rude and petty way to respond to someone. As if asking what some obscure acronym means on a discussion forum is such an outlandish thing.
- Comment on Cable lobby vows “years of litigation” to avoid bans on blocking and throttling 7 months ago:
The cable lobby loves to bring up rural areas but when we gave them millions to build out they just took the money, said fuck it and did jack shit. I’m beginning to think that they prefer to under serve those areas and then use that as a bargaining chip to get everything they want.
