Shit like this is why I stopped using my TV connected to the internet. The way the TV’s also end up slowing down is so annoying too, just leave it off the internet and connect a laptop or pc

I’ve been running PopOS! for years now on a HP slice with 8gb of RAM and its still flawless and feels so modern! Making the switch was definitely the best thing I ever did

Sorry, I was trying to make a joke. I thought the idea of YT having a patreon channel was an obvious attempt at humour 😮‍💨

I’d donate to their patreon if they had one

This reminds me of something I’d heard about public transport operated by local governments, not sure how true it is but the theory makes sense. But basically the local public transport company ran by the local government, spends more on the infrastructure and enforcement of people paying fares than they get back in the fares themselves and that operating the services free of charge would actually reduce the cost of running the service.

Which when you start to think about how you need officers to spot check people on public transport, roll out the machines for tickets/smart cards, server infrastructure to run the machines, technicians to service the machines, IT staff to run servers etc etc it does somewhat make sense

And they don’t update the infrastructure, UK is also an excellent example of this and they are getting to the point that the government will have to step in to help them sort things out. All this so that a bunch of rich people are richer.

It’s an interesting argument because creators are totally at the mercy of YT in this aspect. If YT says that the audience are using adblockers etc, it’s extremely difficult for the creator to dispute this. Whilst I’m sure out of the goodness of their heart(/s) YT has something in place to accurately detect this but then again, no system is 100% flawless 100% of the time

I don’t need highly specific targeted ads telling my exhausted monkey brain what I currently need in my life. I’m making plenty of poor financial choices with the slightly targeted ads I do see occasionally right now.

Who made this comic and why is it so poorly cropped?

Why would you not want an additional layer of security in the event someone possibly gets your password? Even if it randomly generated, we all know too well the amount of times lastpass has been breached 😕

Sounds like a Netflix romcom

Unfortunately it only happens in waves… It just has to be inconvenient enough for people to put in the effort to move to lemmy

Can someone explain to me why I want the video proxied vs the video coming directly from YT via a front end? I’ve used YouTube Vanced in the past and it was awesome when it worked

I just used ublock to remove the stupid pop-up in the middle of the screen. Maybe I’m just lucky but all my videos play fine?

That’s probably the backup plan…

Get em Greta!!

Except one is a terrorist organisation which is acting in retribution, and not on behalf of the Palestinian people by their choice. The other is a military organisation created and backed by the israeli government who is also acting in retribution.

It’s definitely not black and white and is extremely nuanced on both sides. That said the killing of civilians, intentional or “collateral damage” which let’s face it, that’s pretty intentional anyway, is still deplorable.

Are we all so devoid of empathy that we can wipe away the loss of human life because it wasn’t intentional? Palestinian people should not be demonised for the atrocities of Hamas, just as Israeli people should not be demonised for the actions of their government. The people on both sides who support the actions of those entities should however, be looked upon poorly, supporting genocide should always be judged harshly.

Despicable. Despicable that they would actively kill innocent israeli civilians. Just as despicable as killing innocent Palestinian civilians by the israeli military.

+1 for forms. It’s pretty straight forward and intuitive and is easy to get up and running quickly. Anything else which you want to run locally will take a substantially more effort
