I would sit back as my PM's are being deleted. After that I would check my bank account and put on an evil smile when I see the $ 100 000 I made with Google adsense yesterday. I would then head over to the Subscriber topic and motivate people to subscribe and support Neowin so "we" can pay all the bills. I would then let my breakfast be prepared by one of the forum slaves, err moderators, and eat it as my bank fund raises even more.

On a serious note, I would read and post like everyday letting Redmak do the work.

It would be nice if the moderators would get the stick's out of thier ***'s and let people just be people. Not everyone agrees with everyone else. Some people are harsher than others and people do hate Apple and Windows.

It's called real life not communism. Seriously, some of the warnings people get are outright ridiculous.

Most of us are old enough to be able to take a punch so let us fight once in a while.

Sorry, but this won't be a forum where "everything goes down". This is why we have rules set by the Admins to keep everything/everyone equal.

If you can't abide by the rules, maybe it's time to look elsewhere for a forum that caters to your needs?

Radish?

No I think it's time to appoint some moderators who don't think it's their opinion and nothing else or you get warned.

The fact its this is not a democracy. You agreed with certain rules the moment you joined in this community and the mods have all the right to do their job. If you or anyone have a direct problem with a mod then take it to the supervisors or the admins.

We all abide by a moderation charter set by the Admins, to make sure we do the right thing on the forums and by the members but feel free to take your suggestion to a Supervisor or an Admin.

Completely agree with both of you guys. Rules are there for a reason and should be followed. Those who don't know the consequences and should consider their options to either abide by the rules or choose other forum were anything goes. Just my humble opini:whistle:tle: .

Probably because people always inadvertently click on them. That kind of aggressive advertisement drives people to use adblock software.

That is true but a site needs around 2000 views a day to qualify for them so Neowin is very popular but admitting to using Adblock software gets you warned btw so be careful when replying :)

If I used adblock software I wouldn't be so annoyed, would I? At least the forum isn't littered with ads.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
