It seems you don’t see the value in having one integrated provider for everything. Other people clearly do.
Also if there were GOOD European alternatives to those google service people would use them, but there simply aren’t. Low salaries and terrible regulations are to blame.
I know the law and how bloody stupid it is. Third party cookies and ad blockers are configurable in your browser, if you don’t configure them then it’s your fault.

Which is absolutely all of them. I guess the legislators wanted the popups to be annoying so publishers would be forced not to import their party scripts. Turns out publishers can’t stay open without the ads that pay their bills which means popups are the new normal, to the point where when I see a website that doesn’t have popups I suppose they are just in violation of the law. Thanks EU!
>I don’t know how many people this bug affects (anyone with 200-300 icons is hitting a modest version of this, and it gets progressively worse with more) and I have no power to fix it. So, I filed a bug. I am not hopeful that it will be fixed. My last quadratic-in-Windows bug has had zero comments since it was filed a few months ago.
What’s the way to report a bug in Windows? The closest thing I know is the feedback hub which is an unmoderated public forum full of spam and dunces
You say you’re sorry to be that guy, but you seem happy to be that guy. Don’t be that guy, because it’s your comment and the successive noise that is below the level of discourse of HN, making this discussion pretty retarded.
If you’re on Twitter you will see 99.9% of tech people spend all day posting left wing political takes. Just a bit of counterbalance is not going to hurt you lol
The truth is that the future of Armenia is either with Russia or with Azerbaijan, a Muslim country. It’s their choice, but I know what I would choose myself.
That just means that with time more and more poor people will get online and buy their first smartphone, which obviously will be an android. That doesn’t mean google cares too much about those poor people because they don’t make google much money. iOS users on the civilised world, though...
