Deny access to contacts and push notifications, use DNS based ad blocker should take care of those problems.

Are people actually typing thought provoking, in-depth analysis into Twitter?

It’s £11.99/month if you subscribe via the website, instead of an iOS subscription.

I actually switched away from Apple Music when I subscribed to YouTube premium, so it’s only really cost me £2 extra per month.

YouTube music is definitely not as good as Apple Music (or Spotify) but it’s acceptable for the combined cost.

Looks pretty similar to the font used on the Tyne and Wear Metro[0], though I have heard the metro's signage is made up of hand-me-downs from the tube anyway.

I think it depends how good you need the translation to be.

I’d say current automation is ‘good enough’ for most cases, but you wouldn’t rely on it for translating a contract and it would probably still miss a lot of slang and local dialects.

Agreed. I’d like to have seen Apple use some of their massive cash warchest to subsidise the platform until it’s on its feet.

So is this just a problem with the US banking system, or are banks in other regions failing too?

Yes, I got hooked on /r/all and I ended up adding reddit to my nextdns ban list to force a total break.

Haven't missed it, it was a real time sink with very little positive return.

Not only is it still working for me (12:29 UK time), but their most recent article (published today) is titled “Most significant cameras of the DPReview era: Part 1”, implying more content to come!

How much longer would it have taken if you just used open source graphics and search engines instead of GPT and Midjourney?
