@arstechnica@mastodon.social I’m sure there are Tesla execs and others that would jump at the opportunity to seperate from Musk.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social those Tubes that double as numerical displays? People LOVE those.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social I do not sign in to use Google. I do not sign in to use YouTube. They track me anyway and I’m fine with that. I am not using ad blockers.

But if they demand account level tracking from all users, they are going to be tracking, and serving ads to , far fewer users and it will be their AND their advertisers loss.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social I haven’t had a single YouTube vid play through today.
I don’t actively use any ad blockers to my knowledge. I see YouTube ads all the time generally, using default mobile safari.

It has always been an issue for published tech writing, that it is often obsolete by the time it hits the shelf.

But the bigger problem is that developers began to nurture an ‘oh, they’ll figure it out’ attitude and stopped thinking of instructions as necessary.

My biggest issue is interfaces have become some international secret code of mystery glyphs hiding functions several levels down in unexpected corners.
