One, people should be using uBlock Origin as you mentioned. Two, there are many search engines without such ads. Three, qBittorrent has a search right inside the client, there is no need to even access the websites to perform searches.

How would the product work if for example I just wanted to get basic information from various websites, such as "how many calories are in a McDonald's hamburger?" I'm creating a product that tracks calories via natural l

You're not the average user if you have auto updates disabled. Notice you also said "some" apps, well, most do need to keep up with OS updates or fall behind.

Parliamentary systems are not comparable to presidential ones when it comes to voting systems.

What I said is factually true, neither mocking, judging nor telling you off. If you believe saying something like, don't look at the sun or you'll hurt your eyes (and then you look at the sun and say that your eyes are burnt) is t

Good thing Mamdani is doing both, cutting red tape and constructing new housing, at least that's his plan, we shall see what others in his governance think about it.

Mamdani is doing both though, in a controlled manner. He voted to oppose NIMBYism as well and has a plan for new construction.

It's more that voting third party in a first-past-the-post voting scheme is systemically pointless.

Maybe it's Gemini, maybe it's another one of their models, but I'm specifically talking about LLMs like Gemini, or, if you want a better example, Perplexity, which crawls web pages first and then cites them, so that there are

That's fine, people like you aren't my customer anyway and thus do not need to be listened to. Free users generally have value if they can convert to paid, because nothing is truly free in life.

Sounds good, doesn't work. How would I sell a major version on a store like the Apple or Google app stores [0]? How will I fund my salary as well as my employees' salaries from only major versions, what if people buy now but not l
