Still becomes e-waste if Roku drops support for it. Granted, that’s not the best example as I’ve got an old-ass Roku that still works, but the point stands. Same goes for Fire sticks and other devices like that.

Just look at Spotify's Car Thing.

Just look at the industrial amounts of bullshit spewing from Elon Musk's Twitter feed.

Clearly the answer is no.

...but then your clothes might look like you've worn them before.

What are you? Poor?

It’s some sort of perverse arms race built around a shared lie we all pretend we don’t know about.

There's a lot of that when it comes to work in general. It's like it's taboo to point out that the only reason people show up to their jobs is because they get paid for it.

...this looks like it was written by a supervisor who has no idea what AI actually is, but desperately wants it shoehorned into the next project because it's the latest buzzword.

Use Firefox.

Even the Android version lets you install uBlock Origin.

There's an episode of Behind the Bastards called "How the Rich Ate Christianity" about how certain people essentially constructed the religious right. In the early 20th century, the majority of pastors were socialists.

Gamedevs would prefer that one pirate the game outright than use shady key resellers.

The "Arch breaks all the time" people have obviously never used Arch.

I've run Arch as a daily driver for the last 4 and a half years and haven't had any issues. I've tried Pop_OS twice in that time and had install-breaking issues within a week in both cases.

Pretty damn rich coming from the CEO of a website that makes no content of its own.

Reddit had similar issues. There were quite often multiple subreddits that were essentially the same thing. Sometimes it was just that multiple people made similar subreddits, sometimes there was one original subreddit that had some sort of schism.

It's just that Reddit had a large enough userbase that two near-identical subreddits could do well enough that one didn't supplant the other.
