This is so true sadly. Talked to some friends irl who truly believe that one day they could also become a billionaire. They don't even own a company. I think many have no concept of this number. It always surprises me how many are confused about which 'team' they are in and who their allies really are.
This is what I love about the fedverse. People directly calling out such crappy articles that just spread misleading information for the sake of whatever.
So their models have trouble opening a dropdwn menu and their best solution is to implement mass surveillance of the employees?

I wonder though if pressing "skip" is a good idea in terms of privacy / not giving them what they want. I don't think this was implemented for our "convienience" and rather as yet another manipulation technique.

-
You also provide information, that you are still actively at the device an watching (I assume ad providers have more interest on having more/longer ads on content that is actively watched)

They like to annoy future programmers by letting them do binary tree insertion steps manually on paper. They also like to destroy your self confidence by telling you if you ever come up with an algorithm it is likely trash and someone else invented a better one 50 years ago.
I have the same issue, I found it also occurs for community shaders. Although I did not manage to get the game load at all with those Mods. I thought it is because of the vcredist as well, however I am not so sure anymore as I got some other mods that depend on it working.

As far as I know, not even that is certain. I read something about other topologies, like a donout shape or even higher dimentional topologies being plausible as well. Interesting rabbit hole but really makes you question our how we view our reality.
