@koboldcurrychef I just hope website metrics that show how many people instantly leave their site when the popup asking you to subscribe or rank or whatever appears ten seconds after you arrive.
@SomaFMrusty It's worth reminding people you can chromecast to Google speakers from the app (or website if you're on an Android device and don't have an app) and then ain't nobody going to insert ads into the stream.

D'you suppose Orbán wakes up in the morning hoping that today will be the day that the Russian tanks roll into Budapest again? I mean, it must poison every moment of his life that he missed out in 1956, it would have meant everything to him to see his fellow citizens crushed by Russians; the thing he longs for more than anything else in the world.

What I can't figure out is why Labour won't take the shot when the Tories' goalie has long since fallen on his face. Why won't Starmer repudiate ANYTHING -- apart from a few highly contentious and hardly reliably vote-winning social issues -- the Tories have done?
@freemo At the same time Amazon is talking about putting ads on Prime Video, and requiring a $3/mo surcharge to remove them. I imagine there are a lot of people like me who very rarely use it despite already paying for it who simply will convert rarely to never.
@freemo I expect for at least as many it's not so much can't as won't.
