It's that expensive because it's hard to farm. If it can be reliably farmed the price would likely go down.

You misunderstood, my sub is private and the only member is me. This enables some 3rd party apps to still work. I still use a 3rd party app to visit Reddit.

I am not going to install the official app.

I'm still quietly using a 3rd party app for my limited Reddit visits as I am a moderator for a sub with no content.

Which article? Was there meant to be a link?

Also, and I must say I haven't kept updated on the topic, I thought the idea of a carbon tax is to tax the emitters of greenhouse gases? Tax the companies responsible for most of the emissions. If they can't find a cheap way to do it they will increase prices of their products and lose out to competitors who can cheaply limit emissions?

I sometimes like to subscribe to the YT channel of some creators for a few months. Get some bonus content and no ads (if no ad blocker).

AFAIK the changing thumbnails are not made by YouTube. The creator uploads a number of options for thumbnails and video titles, then YouTube randomly? shows those options to users and provides statistics to the creator so they can apply the best performing (in terms of click through and watch time) option to improve video performance. It's all of course linked to how the algorithm works, so is indirectly influenced by YouTube.

Source: a video I watched a while ago but I don't even remember who made the video, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Until earlier this year I just watched the ads because in some small way it supports creators and I could deal with it. Then they increased the number of ads per watch-time to egregious levels.

I certainly wasn't going to reward a company for making the existing service worse by subscribing. Started using the apps people mention immediately and also setup pihole to block more ads.

Isn't that a Windows 11 thing?

If they break it into bits, maybe they can allow it to move to the side of the screen!

Then I can move directly from 10 to 12.

I use powertoys and have the mouse highlighting tool enable when I shake the cursor back and forth.

Before this tool I also moved it around so I could see it, now it becomes highlighted when I do.

Sure, you can get to a utopia by first destroying the old system, just look at how nice the world is in Star Trek.

It's going to suuuuuck for you though, living through the apocalypse needed to clean out the old system. It might be quicker overall, but I wouldn't wish that pain on the current generations of people living in the US.

Appliances that are typically white and large. Things like fridges and washing machines.
