You could have a FB feed mostly without random Internet memes, but it was a lot of work.
Back before Trump's election made it clear that FB was irredeemable & I left for good, much of the time I spent on facebook was systematically telling Facebook to never again show me anything ever again from every company that had an Ad that showed up on my feed and filtering out friends/family that insisted on reposting memes.

For someone with fantasies of Cops stealing phones, you're awfully dismissive of others.
Either come back to reality and explain why cops would take a device away that becomes non-functional as soon as it is taken away (other than with "i hate cops") or explain why the aliens released you so quickly. Reality or fantasyland, your choice.
Still being willfully ignorant I see. If a cop asks you for ID in a state where Digital ID is accepted and you present your ID on an Apple Watch for him to verify your Digital ID, he has precisely one way to get it: having a reader it. If he asks for the watch to take it back to his squad car, it immediately locks as you take it off and is useless to him. Yeah, THATS what he's going to do, uh hunh, suuure, right before he calls up his bug-eyed alien friends to come and anal probe you. And you know this because it happens to you ALL the time...
Thus, whoever is asking for your Digital ID is bringing his reader to you or bringing you to his reader.
And what do you do when you are asked for your ID by a cop whose police department hasn't issued him a fancy reader? There are nearly 18,000 police agencies in the US. How long until all of them have such readers, if ever?
Equipping everyone that needs a reader with one is the biggest thing slowing down the deployment of Digital ID’s and I never said otherwise. By your the time a state or agency decides to accept Digital ID’s they will be equipped or not performing roles where they would need one.
Nobody will be taking your phone or watch away to verify your digital ID, _again_THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS!
Haven't used digital boarding passes or NFR payment, have you...
Yes, I have. That's how I know how they work as I described.
When scanned, the "ID" (on my phone) never leaves my possession, whoever is scanning has their own apparatus (boarding pass scanner/NFR reader).
Yes? And? What does this have to do with what I wrote, which was:
That said, I'm still not a fan of digital IDs since it's often the case that a cop takes your physical card into possession at least for a little while.
You don't appear to realize that people will be able to present their Digital IDs with devices as small as Apple Watches. When using Digital ID's the scan does not take place in your absence, because much like NFR payments, you authenticate the transaction with touchID/FaceID/tapping the crown on a previously authenticated Apple Watch. Thus, whoever is asking for your Digital ID is bringing his reader to you or bringing you to his reader.
See: https://www.apple.com/newsroom...
In particular this part: "customers will be able to add their driver’s license or state ID to Wallet and simply tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to present it to the TSA, without taking out their physical card or handing over their device."
Note that this paragraph has to do with cops who do often take your physical license away from you, for example at a traffic stop. This is a different case than my previous example of a TSA agent who does not take your boarding pass (not ID) away from you, but who often does take your ID away from you, briefly, to examine it).
Cops/TSA take the ID away:
1 To clearly see the ID in order to type it into a search and validate that it is a valid ID (and if it's a cop, to verify that the person described has no outstanding warrants).
2 To make sure that the ID appears valid and not a counterfeit.
3 To compare the small picture with your face to be sure the ID presented corresponds to the person presenting it.
The first will be moot with Digital IDs. Cops will no longer need to see the ID clearly to avoid wrong person errors due to retranscription errors because the info is sent digitally.
The second will be moot because Digital ID's are signed so no fake ID's (until certificate signatures become a problem).
The last will no longer apply when those validating that Digital IDs start using them because they will have a screen with your face & other details (height, weight, etc) displayed.
The only reason I gave the TSA agent example was to highlight that it's not necessary to unlock one's phone to show "something" be that a boarding pass or, very likely, an ID such as a state driver's license.
You're making incorrect assumptions, rendering your conclusions invalid.
Clear yet?
I'm clear on how Digital IDs will be presented and validated, you still have a way to go yet. You will not be handing your phone/watch over to an agent/cop any more than you hand your phone/watch over to a waiter to pay using NFR today. That's not how it works.
That said, I'm still not a fan of digital IDs since it's often the case that a cop takes your physical card into possession at least for a little while. Even if it's still otherwise locked, I don't want my phone in a cop's possession.
Haven't used digital boarding passes or NFR payment, have you... When scanned, the "ID" (on my phone) never leaves my possession, whoever is scanning has their own apparatus (boarding pass scanner/NFR reader).

Most lignites are also higher in Sulfur (producing acid rain) and burning it results in much higher resulting amounts of fly-ash containing the toxic metals cadmium, copper, chromium, nickel, lead, mercury, titanium, arsenic, and selenium that now have to be managed as well.
Agreed, in addition, I find it more likely that Apple would have taken the judgement as is had Epic not decided to appeal. Given that Epic did appeal, Apple wants the implementation of the minor point that they lost reversed or delayed until final judgement has been rendered.
Sooo no advertising for outside payment options in apps until Epic decides to stop beating the deceased equine.
Both times leaks have been discovered on ISS they came from the Russian parts. The only parts of ISS that are really showing their age are the US financed Russian built ones. Losing the Russian modules would somewhat impact redundancy but no critical functions would be lost and ISS reliability would actually improve.
Twitter and Facebook respect their declared moderation Policies. Parlor did not. As to the "claims" that you were belittling, read Amazon's reply to Parlor's lawsuit where they detailed hundreds of thousands of violence promoting Parlor posts that Parlor refused to take down for months. Parlor sued AWS claiming that they were denied service for no reason. Amazon's reply detailing exactly why they got the boot has shut that lie down and though the courts do take time, as Trump discovered when claiming massive voting fraud with "alternative facts", lying to the courts will get their lawsuits thrown out.
The App Store has rules, accepted by Parlor to have access to it. Parlor repeatedly failed to respect their side of that contract, thinking that Big Daddy Trump would protect them for ever and ever... Trump LOST and the presidential fig leaf he was clinging to to justify his presence on social media evaporated.
That, and the assault on the Capitol are what got Trump and Parlor banned and good riddance to them both.
As for Vestager complaining about Apple's Ad network, it's hard to see how Apple is favorizing something they shut down over 5 years ago: https://venturebeat.com/2016/0...
When they awarded Obama the peace prize just for getting elected is when I determined that it didn't mean anything anymore.
I voted Obama, twice. I value the great majority of what he accomplished as president... but there was no reason to award him the Nobel.
You're a trump supporter, right? It shows when instead of realizing that Starlink will be massively profitable, you think that it will lose money and be a write-off.
Stealing Statistical's description on Ars: Starlink isn't for people who hate Comcast. Starlink is for people who wish they had a Comcast to hate.
Even without replacing the urban/suburban markets of those who wish they could leave the Comcasts/Verizons, etc, Starlink is going to completely disrupt the Hughesnet + SES SAT, over land aviation and maritime (cruise ship & other near shore) Internet access markets. Once they activate & generalize their infra-satellite Laser links, high speed traders will be literally throwing money at them to benefit from their faster links due to the speed of light being faster in space than over fiber or using microwaves.
Oh but you think it'll be a write off...
I'm not the AC poster but agree with him: zenlessyank is an idiot.
