did user engagement drop significantly in programming forums?
Communities moving to 'chat' based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I've observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights
There's a load of cars with headlights that are overly bright, but there is an even bigger epidemic of idiots driving around with high beams on as part of regular course.
In the city there is no need for those, ever. Let alone always being on.

Basically ruins the fediverse concept, as it will ultimately lock out all small instances of self hosted instances, which really is a shame.

While I agree with this, and I'm not defending skirting regulations, before rideshare apps, taking taxis was an awful experience. At least half the time, if you try to pay with a credit card, the machine was "broken", if you wanted to get a ride at a specific time you had to call ahead and hope that a taxi would show up.
Rideshsre apps forced regular taxis to up their game and provide better service, some did and now have their own apps.

If being proficient at using teams means people can work from where they prefer, it's my opinion that it's your duty to do it, so everyone has better choices.
Obviously that isn't the opinion held here, but that is more indicative of companies trying to reduce headcount because their growth has slowed. Growing companies are meeting people where they are. Broadly speaking of course.

IRS says its number of audits is about to surge. Here's who the agency is targeting.
Werfel noted that the IRS' strategic plan over the next three tax years include a sharp increase in audits, although the agency reiterated it won't boost its enforcement for people who earn less than $400,000 annually — which covers the bulk of U.S. taxpayers.
Saved you a click.

That assumes that because they're paying they aren't also tracking. They might not use it for ads directly but they'll still sell it to others that will show you ads off Facebook.

Definitely added some coverage to less computer tech, like the car reviews and pure science coverage, but in terms of treating their readers well, they're still very good. Not that the bar is high, but still.

You're not thinking big enough.

United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screens

Until proven otherwise, I'd assume the worst. They know your identity to travel, and they link it with profiles from all the major ad networks.
