The irony of this post is that you deserve to be blocked, for spamming this in irrelevant communities…

First reddit didn’t go down, despite having an user base which had some kind of a brain.

While YouTube has everyone as users. Even like the most normie, boomer, zoomer users that think YouTube is the internet. No way they are going to switch for ideological reasons, unless the app just stops working.

I wouldn’t really mind a smaller pool of videos, if it’s guaranteed to have a standard of quality.

I’d even pay for YouTube if they offered such a service, where they curate their creators. E.g. I sometimes like to watch repair channels where someone tinkers with something. I have a handful of channels that I like for that… but what if there are many more that I just can’t find?

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

The ads are just extremely bad in general. Betting ads for a legitimate casino would already be a huge step up form the shit I get…

Double_A ,
@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah it’s horrible. For it to somehow be worth watching with ads, the ads had to be for a legitimate and relevant product, and the algorithm / video quality had to be much better.

Double_A ,
@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

You get ads for actually real products? Literally the only ad for a real thing that is available to me was about a cleaning company for house fassades… but I don’t have a house. Everything else is stupid games or apps, or porn or straight up scams.

I think the issue with this is that posts from other instances would have a huge delay. Basically the mods would have to appove EVERY single post.

Am I the only one that really hates huggingface? It’s such a confusing website to use, and most of the time the things just spit out errors. And I’m never sure if this is just a free thing, or a demo, or something that I have to pay.

Like what is the proper way to use that thing?!

Double_A ,
@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But what exactly is a model? Can I download and run it? Do I need to access it through their API? Do I need to pay for some server that has all the needed software already running on it? It seems open and not open at the same time.

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

Double_A ,
@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The commute time is kinda worse than work time, so the 4 days in the office are equal to 5 days WFH timewise. And I would still be missing out on benefits like cheaper lunch at home and wearing comfortable clothes, and not being tired all the time. On the other hand, I would always have 3 day weekends.

@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I mean, if you are a designer that needs it but doesn’t know how to download and crack stuff, 12$ might be worth that time.

That’s exactly the problem. You need learn how to game the system, instead of actually contributing to the network.

Officials can’t interfere with local Tennessee Pride festival under anti-drag law, judge rules ( apnews.com )

How to share services with non-techincal friends and family

I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don’t love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won’t go...

No I like not to have to worry about food every day and potentially die if I have some medical issue.

Bad content feels much much worse to me. E.g it is so infuriating to see those fake prank videos with tons of likes and positive comments. It kills my hope in humanity every time… At least an ad could be for some interesting legit product. 🫠

This is funny because “C-food” sounds like “Sea food”, and there is a tiny ship in the bottle and ships are used to sail the sea.

There should be a rule that every post must have an explanation in the comments… 99% of those are just not funny, maybe it would at least be interesting to have a historical context.

Nothing, I’m just mocking those comics because they are often not really funny.

I don't mind the taste, but I'm extremely sensitive to it. If there is one bit in the dish, all of it tastes like cilantro and nothing else. Is this also part of the soap gene?

Is it just me being dense, or are most of those comics just not funny in any way?

Yeah, this is the only one of those comics that had a hint of humour in it…

PSA: If you need windows, and you can install it yourself, install the Education version. It comes with slightly less crap preinstalled. (For the license just massgrave.dev that shit…)

@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That’s exactly the issue… you need to properly use it. Most people don’t, and can’t be bothered to when Windows is just pre-installed and mostly doing its job alright…

Double_A ,
@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

They are probably referring to distros that for legal reasons don’t include things like Codecs or proprietary drivers and stuff… and then you need to first research how to manually install those, after figuring out that you even need to do that at all…

It’s not helping to disprove that thinking if you need to create a separate protected league for women… Also what does it matter what other people think? It’s not a team based game… Also even if the clubs are separated by gender to create a nicer atmosphere during training or whatever, why should tournaments be?

The problem is that I as an user don’t necessarily know what I want to see. What if there is some super interesting hashtag out there, but I don’t even know that it exists?
