I think they are just using AI to put a positive spin on it. They know hard times are ahead and they need to reduce headcounts to preserve cash.

Based on global reactions, I think there will be a minority of yes and no’s

Then the vast majority will be “I don’t care anymore”

Yep, many identity movements exist in order to foster us vs them politics.

Taking the pot off the stove, throwing away and starting again, then repeating it many times is not giving it time to cook

The free option is not sustainable and does not reward the correct customer/business relationship.

I’m with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.

I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.

This is actually bad for the discriminated parties as well.

The South African government is using race based restitution legislation as a vehicle for bribes and corruption. They use it as a gate keeper to make sure that only those in the good graces with the political elite get opportunities.

If you open them and start googling part numbers, you will notice that entire subassemblies are off the shelf parts from China, not just components.

Some arch+hyprland would be awesome on even this hardware.

I don’t think registration is a problem. It’s the fact that you can be deregistered.

In South Africa, you get automatically registered as a voter when you receive your national ID document at 16. At that point you only need to register where you intend to vote once. We usually get 3 voter registration weekends at every polling station weeks before any election.

Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

I would like to thank Lucifer for our salvation. Damnation is a marked improvement over unregulated capitalism.

Excellent work by Zapiro. Probably South Africa’s best political cartoonist.

As someone allergic to horsehair, this explains a lot.

Drugs cooked his brain.

Germany and Italy learn from their mistakes. The US keeps repeating them more than any other country (except for Argentina)
