Thanks!

A big reason for me is that people can tell who the source is more easily, instead of seeing a generic Yahoo link. If someone is blocking or flagging a particular domain through their app / front-end, then it won’t work for a yahoo link.

Also while I don’t think Yahoo is doing something illegal, my gut says that these articles are harming the smaller news orgs. When Yahoo/MSN publishes the full article, the user likely doesn’t notice who the actual news org is, likely doesn’t go to the real news orgs website, the news org has a harder time building a brand / reputation, and over time they might become even more dependent on Yahoo to stay afloat. A lot of the time when I look up a story, the yahoo page ranks above the actual original source, and that feels wrong to me

@sanitation@lemmy.today, could you edit the post to use this link instead?

They put out a LOT of updates in a row a few months ago

Hopefully the maintainers are taking a break, and they aren’t burned out.

Are they though?

At the very least, no one is doing it here. I’d rather have a rebuttal comment if/when a post that tries to do that, rather than seeing these posts

:) Thank you!

No worries at all, irl life comes first :)

Thank you for putting in the time to make it so that your new pages have a similar tone and style to the rest of the guides. We don’t require it, but it helps keep things consistent for the readers

Oh that’s annoying, the next best step might be the matrix chat

If it’s a false positive, you should be able to get it resolved by contacting the admins

Commodore has had an interesting year. A retro-tech YouTuber got into discussions with the company and ended up buying it. I think they had plans to become a public benefit company of some kind, with a focus on openness and preserving old tech.

I’m surprised that the Wikipedia article doesn’t have a lot of details on those recent developments from the past year

Supposedly you can’t install some things. Hopefully this is an optional parental control feature, and not baked in to every phone. They would be losing a lot of potential nostalgia sales if they only chase after the “forced distraction free” market. Some people can control their usage without needing the device to do it for them. 🤷

The phone also blocks internet browsers and social media apps at a system level, “using patent-pending technology, eliminating temptation and designed with distraction-free schools in mind.” This ties in neatly with the upcoming ban on social media for the under-16s in the UK, but I can’t imagine there are many teenagers who even know what Commodore is.

:(

I wonder what went wrong, hopefully all of the kids make a full recovery

Hmm…

Thank you, the account has been banned from lemmy.ca

It might be that this one can take non-PWA websites and make them behave like proper PWAs?

For some web apps, I want it to look and behave like an “app”, without the clutter of the extra menus that a browser has.

For others, I want it to have the protections and capabilities (ex. adblocking and extensions) that the browser has

It might also be the kind of data center that is being built. Cheaper data centers are noisier, inefficient with water, etc

Working class areas may already be distrustful towards large companies coming along and using up all of the local resources

I figure that the authorities will get annoyed if they keep receiving false positives from this company
