Sorry i think i meant theme colors, not system colors. In any case it was better before the "you" thing that's currently used which has restricted customization significantly.

I think it may be google account settings, which are not android I'm aware. Though i recall phone settings becoming default whenever a settings menu was overhauled instead of something reflecting the previous selection.

No I'm on windows 10 still. Well aware of the difference lol

There used to be tons of customization options which have been removed/limited under the guise of "personalization". For example you used to be able to do things like choose system colors that weren't from a selection of 5 pastel themes. For some reason Google believes that pastels and pastels alone accurately reflect the "personality" of every user and that users wasn't their "personality" reflected.

There's a ton of settings that have been removed over the years, volume button behavior changed, various privacy settings reset to default with random updates, privacy settings removed...

It's still fairly functional but if it weren't for certain apps i need i would be trying out graphene or whatever.

Employer provided healthcare only covers about %54 of Americans. So in general it's not a safe assumption.

"Several months ago" ... Not exactly suggesting it would happen over night. Recognizing a schism and supporting eachother through the changes in life is preferable to doing so depressed and hatefully, no?

Your united data is going to be tied to an email. They could just use that. It's reasonable to see this as further invasiveness, similar to Meta™ account recovery.

You can simply replace evil with suffering, or ig a christian context might say sin? The point is the paradox is a structure, if any choice of word makes it work, then it works.

Big economy, long time to fall. See example: rome or whatever.

They're not even going to profit so much off the ads as they will having a new way to distribute them. Even then its, "line go up this quarter", not "what if sales go down due to this?". They'll license it out to every offer company who needs it for line go up.

  1. you've described youtube in 2008 and it was a much better platform.

  2. the issue isn't what time to show ads, or where. It's the furthering invasion of marketing into private spaces and lack of apparent concern for end-user consent. There are security concerns when devices can hijack eachother. This technology is likely to rely on some means of detecting idle time, like comparing consecutive frames as the article states, so you try reading a long text on screen in an RPG, and then you're local kroger brand ad plays.

Long term maintenance. Meaning not a simple bug fix but providing support on demand and possibly prioritizing requests by the contract grantor for an extended period.
