  • Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days?

  • And where is Azerbaijan?

  • Former Google CEO says climate goals are not meetable, so we might as well drop climate conservation — unshackle AI companies so AI can solve global warming

  • We don't need AI to solve climate change; it's already been solved, decades ago. These billionaire fucks have just been too greedy to put the plan into action.

  • They're not stealing your data, they're pirating it.

  • Which monthly subscription service do you highly recommend and why?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've got a lot of channels I subscribe to. I don't know the total count right now, but last I checked it was 100+. Some of them are daily/weekly uploaders, but I think a majority of them are much less frequent. If I had the means, I'd rather financially support those creators directly, but that's just impossible for me right now. So at the very least, I'm making my views more valuable to them.

  • YouTube Premium. I watch a lot of content on YT. I work from home and will generally have something on in the background while I work, so I'm easily consuming 10+ hours of content a day. It's honestly worth it for me, if for nothing else than to avoid the cat-and-mouse hellscape of adblocking. I'd rather pay $25 each month and have everyone in my family have an ad-free experience on all their devices no matter where they are or what network they're using, than having to help them troubleshoot browser extensions and DNS settings and PiHoles and all that.

    Edit: Absolutely insane that people are upset that I pay for a service I make use out of, lmao

    What's the most political colour?

  • On the flip side, red is also commonly used to represent love and passion.

  • YouTube Shorts can now run up to three minutes

    Jump

  • Not really. I've seen plenty of sponsored YT Shorts, properly tagged and everything so YT's definitely got the infrastructure in place to monetize Shorts. But most sponsors aren't going to pay for a Short because... well, it's too short, so those tend to be few and far between.

    However, Shorts aren't profitable for their ability to directly monetize your content, they're profitable for their ability to drive a LOT of new viewers to your longer-form content. The Shorts algorithm is very aggressive at referring you to channels you aren't subscribed to, and that has helped a lot of creators get very large followings, very quickly.

    Thor/Pirate Software is an excellent example of this; he's always had a pretty decent following, but once he started putting out YT Shorts, his subscriber and view counts began skyrocketing, which has also overflown into new Twitch subscribers, as well. He started with a small but healthy community, and has blown up into a huge, multi-platform community, and has easily doubled his YT earnings since engaging with Shorts.

    Shorts are very helpful to creators right now. More creators need to realize that creating YT Shorts is basically creating ads for your own YT channel, on YT, for free. It's probably the closest thing to "IRL money dupe glitch" that there is.

  • What's an artist / band that you used to dislike, but now enjoy?

    Jump

  • I couldn't stand Linkin Park when they were first getting popular. I felt that they were too edgelord-y for me and wrote them off. Now, I wish I had actually given them a shot earlier on.

  • What's the difference between one technology you don't understand (AI engine-assisted ) and another you don't understand (human-staffed radiology laboratory)?

    The difference is that people think they understand AI. Even here in this thread, there are people confusing this for an LLM.

  • I think generally, assistive devices like Hawking's wheelchair/speech synth wouldn't qualify one for the title of "cyborg", since they're replacing lost/damaged functionality, and didn't grant him any abilities not already available to the average person. Whereas Harbisson's modification is giving him additional abilities that he didn't previously have and are outside of the typical human experience.

    Lmao no. If you actually believe that, then I'm gonna violate the fuck outta your rights.

  • Mozilla exits the fediverse and will shutter its Mastodon server in December | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Mozilla Foundation (the non-profit) and Mozilla Corporation (the for-profit) are two different entities under the Mozilla umbrella, so their staffing may be reported differently depending where you look and how they're counting it.

  • Mozilla is a small company

    I'm surprised that people consider a ~2000-person company that revenues about a half billion a year to be "small". Mozilla is a profit-driven corporation, far separated from the vision of the hobbyist coders who founded it decades ago. The only reason they're shutting down their Mastodon server is because it's not making them money, not because they lack the resources to support it.
