I don’t think google fear Apple having to offer a choice to users. They fear Apple defaulting to Bing or something else.

While most people might choose google when presented with a choice, possibly more people are just going to keep the default settings when not presented with a choice.

I’ve built myself a Redox (Open Source split keyboard).

That one has a number row. Also due to the possibility of programming multiple layers I can hold down a key on the left half, then use the right half as a numpad.

It would also be possible to program it as a toggle button to switch to jumped more, so you don’t have to hold it down, but I prefer not having some kind of invisible state in my keyboard that I have to keep track of.

I did it last week and always got an error trying to create a new microsoft account during the migration process, even in different browsers and after disabling adblockers. Then I just manually created a microsoft account on the microsoft website and in the minecraft migration process chose to use an existing account instead of creating one. That worked for some reason.

Before youtube disabled recommendation for people with watch history turned off, having watch history turned off made it so your recommendations were only based on channels you are subscribed to and possibly videos you’ve liked, commented on, …

There are some categories where I only ever search for the category, then watch a video, but never subscribe to any channel. Those videos were never recommended to me. Meanwhile on my girlfriends pc with watch history turned on, as soon as I watch a single video from a channel she’s not subscribed to similar videos appear all over the front page.

Usually the websites and apps you use, but not what specific page you visit and it’s content.

If you for example visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States they could see that you visited https://en.wikipedia.org/ but nothing more.

This is assuming that the website is encrypted (it starts with https://, not http://), which nowadays luckily most websites are. Otherwise they can see the specific page, it’s content and most likely also all information you input on that page.

After noticing that ctrl+c doesn’t work he tried typing exit, which put him in edit mode.

Yeah. That’s normal if you subscribe to things through (iOS or android) apps.

Google and apple don’t allow apps you roll their own payment methods to “protect their users”. Apps have to use the Google/Apple payment system where Google/Apple take a 30% cut of every payment.

With YouTube being owner by Google they probably don’t have to pay those 30% on Android, but they have to on iOS.

You’re probably thinking of Lemmy.ml

I was subscribed to reddit Premium for a long time (at the old, grandfathered in price), because it gave me ad free browsing, the ability to sort saved posts into categories and filtering subs from r/all before that was available to everyone.

Premium also gave you 700 coins per month, so now I have 20000 coins saved up.

Every Rubik’s Cube, no matter how scrambled, can be solved in at most 20 rotations.
