Thanks. Gives me hope. Would you also say the males are less constrained by the macho culture of older generations? More capable of talking about emotions?

And women less constrained by their own old stereotypes?

I find it hard to be sure because both stereotypes are still alive and popular. The gender benders have been around for decades but perhaps not as flamboyant now so they merely seems more mainstream now.

younger people today are skilled in ways could have only dreamed of.

Any examples?

There is no mention of the compensation amount to be paid to Grant.

Not even the linked order says (which I would have thought makes it a "reasons for decision" not an "order"). It says "The parties have now filed cross-motions for partial summary judgment." So I guess it isn't over yet?

My point was about free apps going commercial (not about selling data).

Give FreeTube time to get bigger.

Open source cannot be commercialized.

Steam is commercial, Firefox received about a million dollars from Google to set it as the default search engine.

Wikipedia, Whirlpool, GiHub are the only big sites I can think of which resisted going commercial. They may still be selling user data though.

Can you think of others?

Sorry, I didn't read the article. Thanks for picking me up on it.

I just use my Brave browser which avoids ads and doesn't require login but I see now that FreeTube offers a few customisation features and allows you to import your subscriptions.

And there are privacy benefits too. With Freetube your watch history is stored only on your computer, not YouTube’s servers

Really? I imagine it is free because FreeTube collect data on you.

Isn't this exactly like the original YouTube?

They get users to provide free content with the impression it is a genuine grassrots community then when the site becomes popular enough they cash in. imdb was like this too.

Not necessarily. It might be because of the crimes in the public groups and channels in Telegram. That makes it no more immune from responsibility than Facebook or Twitter.

See this thread

Signal doesn't have those.

A Petabyte would be a thousand movies. No cinema has a thousand movies on its program.

Brave browser. No need for plugin.

Steady on, you post here and then get annoyed when someone offers troubleshooting help?

I couldn't run an internet radio station without it and imagine there are many other similar stations.

In the old days labels used to secretly pay AM Radio stations to play their artists. The rort was called payola.
