I’m ok with YouTube. I pay for a large music service and get no YouTube ads.

Every other service has only made things worse. Netflix has done the least by not yet pushing ads.

They could relive major streets and create dedicated bus lanes.

They could prioritize the surface train stoplights.

They could create protected bike and scooter lanes.

Or they could blame the residents for trying to get around town.

I liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.

Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.

Let’s be fair to MC, she created some Christmas bangers.

I like how democratic it can be.

I dislike how democratic it can be.

There’s too much fragmentation. There also isn’t an “anchor store” that brings people in and increases activity in more niche areas.

All high rise office buildings should be incentivized to have residential space. Let’s try and fix the housing issues and reduce cars/traffic at the same time.

I don’t understand the issue. EV buses have existed for decades. EV buses that run two routes a day and are parked the rest of the time sound like a perfect option for EV. Combustion of any sort results in pollution.

Big propane can eat their own accessories for all I care.

Shallots. It’s an onion-garlic but tastes better.

They literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.

Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.

Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.

To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly

Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.
