Yeah it was, but goddamn I really wanted that Alien vs Predator game.

UK here. Quite a rural area in the mid-90s, and worlds away from US gun culture, but one time our school was playing rugby against another rival school and a lad brought in a .22 air rifle and shot one of their players in the ass from the edge of the pitch. It was hilarious for those not involved, kid got a telling off and may have been briefly suspended, but thinking about how that would have been reported these days it would probably have caused national outrage.

I am. And this amounts to selective censorship.

I don’t think there is one. The Impressia app (iOS) does though.

Absurd take

My money’s on Chappers filling in.

Thing is though, There’s plenty of sources I haven’t blocked. It’s basically just the Daily Mail and a shitty red-top, so I can’t believe they only curate the sources that I’ve blocked. In which case the feed should consist of headlines from the other huge array of other news sources.

Cheers - this would work, but first requires whitelisting all the sources you’re happy to see news from, rather than simply not showing you news from sources you’ve blocked.

I mean, this is specifically mildly infuriating, and there are other positives to it.

Fair enough. Although I would say that the magazine aspect (which I use it for primarily) couldn’t really adhere to that. The printed publications that you’d buy in a newsagent contain printed ads. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not different. Paper copy or digital, you’re getting ads with whichever one you pay for.

Isn’t it the publications themselves that contain the ads rather than the app itself?

Well now I’m going to have to try it aren’t I.

Not sure I’d agree, as the sources are configurable, but this sort of shit is far from a great user experience.

Apple Arcade for me

To be fair, the magazines available on News+ are great. I have Apple One because it covers all the household’s music/storage/fitness solutions for a reasonable price (considering how many people are on my subscription). News+ is included, and the list of magazine subscriptions bundled within it is surprisingly extensive. The app’s not perfect though, as this crappy design shows.

No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.

It’s what’s going in the appliance I’m asking about, not the appliance itself.

Yeah I know, that’s why I was focusing on UK egg-fanciers.

Did they try redeeming it up to 15 times?

That’s why we take no chances and mow them down with blue light vehicles.
