Apple pulls the controversial "Crush" ad and apologizes.

"The ad, posted on social media Tuesday by Apple CEO Tim Cook, was met with backlash from internet users who felt that the ad celebrated technology’s destruction of human creativity and art."

Are there any known issues with Friendica's OAuth login flow? Or maybe recent breaking changes?

I'm starting to find ads even more irritating lately.

What's up with sites that take work funded by the public and putting ads over it? One site I looked at wouldn't even load a NASA video with an ad-blocker on, because of the pre-roll ad.

Or, what about when you watch a trailer for a movie, which itself is an ad, really, but first you have to watch another ad. What's up with that?

The web can be such a small world sometimes. Has this ever happened to you?

You look up an answer to a question you have, or come across someone's fun side project, look at the author, and -- hey, that's a friend of mine!
