Geez, ads baked into an OS. What a time to be alive.

This summary literally strips out the most important part 😂

Google's default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser, Bloomberg reported.

Bad people can do good things. And good people can do bad things.

The technology and drive to get this rate of growth is amazing.

I didn’t realise android did free SMS over satellite when there is no cellular connection

Probably so people click the link more often to find out what it’s about - which Musk then can take to publishers and say “look how much traffic we generated for you”

I think mdma will do it

I see why they are “former” Apple designers.

The idea that every manufacturer has the same problems, and that whilst this is not good, Apple is more across it than many other companies.

Survivorship bias.

I thought the point of Android was that we don’t like to conform to the walled garden. Why is there such an obsession with jumping Apple’s fence? Might as well get an iPhone then

You’re right. They absolutely need to ban coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco. Can’t wait

What a clusterfuck

Classic case of design by committee.

The alleged is probably more a policy thing.

Like where does the organisation draw the line between “obviously guilty” and “obviously not guilty” - there has to be a bar set somewhere. And right now, it is the legal definition.

“36% cut of safari deal”

is very different to

“Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser”

The former implies some sort of fixed cost arrangement.

The latter implies a revenue share based on traffic and volume of advertising. It could even include all search revenue for ads displayed in Safari via Google owned ad networks - even if the ad placement did not originate from a google search.

For my Aussie friends - there is a free Take Home Nalaxone program, you can go to a huge list of chemists and get it for free, no prescriptions, no intrusive questions, super easily.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago 😄

One touches children. The other does not.

Using this same logic, Hamas must not want Israel gone; because they are still there

Actually with some print heads they will be damaged if there is no ink

Awesome!

I agree, but Apple built this tech for their users, and for whatever reason people choose to use it.

Some people choose not to use it. So why expect Apple to open their walled garden? If all your friends are inside and they love the flowers, maybe the answer isn’t to ask for free flowers from inside, but either go in yourself or choose to stay outside without the flowers?

Isn’t this like going to someone’s house and not liking their cooking, and then demanding they order pizza for you to accommodate what you want?
