I use Siri to control my smarthome and it's still a horrible experience so yes, the joke still works

Why not use a DNS based solution like nextdns? or an extension like wipr?
Report it
This is amazingly pedantic, I love it.

I found this super interesting, especially driving the audio

I feel like you'd be taking on a lot of pain for no real benefits though?

> it was filled with ads

You bought a phone from an advertising company?

Turns out a marketing company doesn't care about your privacy go figure
Now that is an interesting question

The line you walk past is the one you accept, x accepts CSAM

The bobiverse books are fantastic, would suggest continuing the series as it gets even better

The US healthcare system sounds horrific

Can you still advertise smoking in the US?

Why not swap to dns blocking with NextDNS or something similar? Take it out of the browsers hands?

It seems a lot of reddit communities are starting to block xitter as it's painful to use now without an account. Should HN do the same?
> told to expect to be brutalized in prison by the other prisoners and guards

How horrific. I don't understand why the people of the US accept this.

US consumerism on full display
I don't understand how "Roaring Kitty" is illegally manipulating the market.

What has he done / is he doing that's illegal? Can no one post on social media that they are interested in a stock?

> actively manipulating their users into unhealthy levels of engagement

Which is the root issue here, why don't we ban online advertising as a business model or significantly tax it to create a cost of x engagement

Do you have a non-twitter link?
