Walgreens and other retailers have swapped out the clear fridge and freezer doors at thousands of stores, instead adding opaque doors with iPad-like screens showing what's inside. Some customers really, really aren't into it.

The screens, which were developed by the startup Cooler Screens, use a system of motion sensors and cameras to display what's inside the doors — as well as product information, prices, deals and, most appealing to brands, paid advertisements.

The tech provides stores with an additional revenue stream and a way to modernize the shopping experience.

"Why would Walgreens do this?" one befuddled shopper who encountered the screens posted on TikTok. "Who on God's green earth thought this was a good idea?"
"The digital cooler screens at Walgreens made me watch an ad before it allowed me to know which door held the frozen pizzas," said someone on Twitter.

"The work we do reminds people to recognize the power they have to demand change. This change will help free their own digital lives, and their loved ones'." -- Zoë Kooyman, new ED of FSF. Read the full message at u.fsf.org/3id

notes.trom.tf will be removed from out TROM.tf services. It is already removed from the front page but we will keep it alive for at least a few more months in case people are still using it. Why the removal?

1. This is an open source project by some people who are also making money out of it. This pushes them to add artificial barriers. Trade, as you know, creates these situations. In order to properly use this Notes app one has to set it up manually. It used to be a simple 2-3 steps process. But now, in order to add all of their "premium" yet open source extensions, so you can access them for free (basically in order to use this app properly) one has to do some 15-20 steps to set it all up. They made it more difficult for no reasons other than, perhaps, trading your currency to them in order to "unlock" all of these features.

Basically this app became littered with "buy this, buy that" buttons, and we cannot allow such perversions on TROM.tf.

2. We think that it is best to keep your notes locally and not rely on any server. Imagine if that server does not work anymore, and you don't have access to your notes. Here you can find a lot of trade-free note taking applications www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - We especially recommend Zettlr.

That being said, if you use notes.trom.tf please save your notes to another app. #tromlive

Hey everyone! Could I solicit some feedback?

Aside from my travels and nature photography with my regular camera, the Fujifilm X-T2, I also shoot a lot with my phone, an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Would you want to see the occasional post featuring some mobile photography as well, or not?
