  • Even if we got to Net Zero tomorrow, the world is going to continue to warm, and we have to develop and deploy adaptive measures.

    We can both support the ending of fossil fuel AND celebrate adjustments like this.

  • I think in the U.S. the nuclear permitting process is so much longer than the methane generator permitting process, and they don't want to wait.

  • loss of decorum is going to shut down a discussion

    Can someone explain why this isn't "civility politics" and simply used as a tool to further marginalize persons that already don't have enough representation?

    When a person advocates for making it harder for other persons to participate in public life, it should be acceptable to have an emotional response, including but not limited to ad hominem attacks, while also building the reasonable/logical/rational/non-fallacious arguments against them.

  • Having watched 480i content for so long, you better believe 720p felt HD.

    These days, I mostly watch 1080p content because at the size/distance I'm watching, 4K just doesn't "buy" any more joy. But, I remember the first time we watched some 4K videos on a new 4K TV, and the nature ones looked like a window and not a screen from across the room.

  • Some of them are on Nebula. But, I don't know who you watch. I have a Nebula lifetime, but I also still have a lot of subscriptions on YT. So, it's unlikely to be a total replacement.

  • I know KZ sends out notifications via Discord, so I expect they do get some sort of spike right after upload. And, as long as they are on YT, getting a quick post-upload spike also causes the video to be offered to more non-subscribers.

  • PeerTube doesn't provide a revenue stream based on views. KZ and basically anyone that outputs "professional" animations has to have revenue if they are to pay their workers. Other revenue streams (e.g. Merch) can be distractions from the main task of producing video.

    Nebula content is only available to subscribers, so the reach is tiny. Creators are free to mirror the content to non-Nebula sites, including YT, so I guess it could be an option.

    Dropout is also subscriber only, and they are more jealous about making sure content appears there exclusively, at least for a bit. "One Backflip" and "Pissing Out Cancer" both were Dropout-only for at least a month before the performers could put the specials on other platforms.

    Yes, it is possible. But, it's really hard to get off YT after building an audience there, and YT seems to have a much lower barrier to entry than other platforms, even PeerTube.

  • Yeah, I think edutainment in particular should really try to at least mirror on Peer Tube. You don't earn anything for views there, but you also won't be subject to centralized content moderation.

    But, KZ is, I think, captured by Capitalism, and would be unwilling to be hosted on a site that doesn't pay them.

  • They've admitted to using "AI" content editing tools. But, I'd bet most of those tools are using "AI" either due to exploiting hype, or due to being based on non-generative, "AI" ML classifiers.

  • I am, or at least was, an immature ass.

  • YouTube Premium Is Not Ad-Free as Advertised, Class Action Lawsuit Claims

    Jump

  • That's what it was called when I started getting it for free with my subscription to Google Play Music. :)

    Jump

  • It's not often, but yeah, sometimes I'll get a "Jump Ahead >>>" button overlay that skips the sponsor ad-read and/or a clear auto-generated "segment" that is the sponsor ad-read.

    Still, I never expected YT Red to remove uploaded content, only to stop inserted advertisements.

  • US here. I remember when it changed, probably 20-25 years ago. (Tho, of course it was gradual and localized and I'm only one data point.) I was an undergrad, and not in my first year.

    IIRC, it was because "gulf stream" was a little ambiguous, because there's a lot of gulfs many of which contain oceanic currents / stream. But, if someone in the U.S. or EU says "gulf stream" they are always talking about AMOC.

    Jump

  • Thanks for the clarification. I was too young to program the 2600. I started programming on PC-compatible.

  • Where it all began

    Jump

  • IIRC, the 2600 didn't have a graphics processor. So, you had to "chase the ray" with CPU instructions, which made for some interesting limitations.

  • browser fingerprinting

    Thing is, while it wasn't called "browser fingerprinting" immediately, it basically started as soon as JS was around. And feature-detection / media-queries actually make for better compatibility than just User-Agent strings (and other headers).

    Content negotiation never really caught on, as best as I can tell. There's a number of headers that the client can send so that the server can select a version by language, content-type, and a few other things, but in all the web deployments I've ever done content-negotiation was never a consideration.

    Almost any information can be abused.

  • The offer to pay more for the same finally pushed me to cancel Apple Music. What is a good alternative that's not loaded with ads?

    Jump

  • They used to provide like a 3-day trial, but I couldn't find any sort of offer like that currently active.

    If you are just curious about what they have on their streaming service, you can get a rough estimate by browsing their download store. It's not a perfect match, but it's very close. It is quite rare for an artist / studio / publisher to let Qobuz stream it but not sell a download or vice-versa.

    Jump

  • Another fairly happy Qobuz user here. Prior to that I used Tidal, which has a better Android Auto experience, IMO. Prior to that I used YouTube Music, and technically I still have a subscription to that because I got used to YouTube Red (now Premium) when it came free with Google Music (now YouTube Music). I prefer a streaming service; I find it much easier to discover music that way.

    For digital purchases, while that is possible through Qobuz, every artist I know would prefer you buy from their Bandcamp. ISTR Bandcamp might have been doing some shady anti-union stuff, but I could be misremembering and I wouldn't know of any great alternatives.
