Anyways you are not missing out from paywalled articles. This will be a never ending battle but it looks like we need an open source extension store :)

Yeah. My former employer shut down because of that trend, and it has only gotten worse in the years since then. I recently, reluctantly had to adblock APNews because of malware in the ads, and thats not some two-bit organization. Some other sites I love have dropped off my radar, as I can only juggle so many subs.

Web 3.0 may be bollocks, but I hope someone distills a good publisher micropayment system out of it. Or maybe a bulk "Netflix/Spotify for news" would be a better approach?

Yeah, guilty as charged, but in my defense, I change phones often but my replaced phones go to different family members, who are happy with past generation flagships. My previous two phones are being used and all the previous ones had long lives, it's not like I just bin them.

If they sold the 512 7 Pro in Europe I might buy it and offer the 6 Pro to my mother-in-law who has a 5 or so year-old phone now (or my mother with her 4-year-old one, or maybe to my wife, and she in turn to her mother), but I don't think I will be going through the Australian workaround and the associated customs and warranty risks for that.

Fair enough at least the devices get a second life.

If you have a 6 Pro, why would you need to buy a replacement after only a year?

Part of why the web is shit is low barrier to entry. More often than not, if you read classics or older books, it's information dense. Every prose and sentence constructed had some economy baked in.

Now everyone and their mom, as well as bots and marketers,can spam right on over.

We either need a search portal with aligned incentives, or perhaps a new internet with none of this crap.

20K + prestige, he's gonna have strong cards at his next $nicely_paying_company interview

>Good way to ensure others who find similar exploits to sell them to highest bidder on darkmarkets instead as they'll be able to get way more than that.

Sure, sell it for how much? twice? thrice? as much

instead using it for your own branding, cv, to negotiate salary which will pay you way more over years

So what you’re saying is that Sony basically paid him the missing half in exposure.

I have not actively used Reddit in over a year and am better for it. Their design is one of the most hostile I have seen in a website. I wish it was an area that allowed for competition because someone needs to give Reddit's head a shake.

I don’t use Reddit in the sense that I have an account, instead I go through teddit.net using a privacy redirect browser extension, this lets me bypass their redesign by using a different front end.
