  • There are alternatives for the people who make money off the YouTube.

    The Youtubers who do get paid enough to make a living from YouTube also make production quality content and have great gear and staff. They might as well sell their production to any other streaming service.

    Something like Veritasium might as well be on Netflix as YouTube. Mr.Beast would fit in on Mtv..

  • If it's any consolation, at least Trump can only ever become a short term dictator, because he's old.

    I doubt even the MAGAs would support Vance or any other republican trying to maintain a dictatorship. The entire GOP will crumble in infighting when Trump is gone and probably even beforehand.

    There's no good reason for getting a non-stimulated erection at the same time that you also needs to empty your bladder after a good nights sleep.

  • I think this is actually still an issue. On PCs the space bar + up + left arrow keys conflicts on some keyboards. Try it: open Notepad, press two arrow keys and then space. Most of them works but if you hold up and left, it will not make a space.

    This is annoying in racing games, when you want to accelerate, turn left and use the hand brake at the same time.

  • the fact that developing countries will industrialize in the same way western countries have and will start to produce similar environmental emissions

    That's not a fact. It makes more sense for developing countries to skip directly to renewable energy sources.

  • Before the introduction of daylight savings, people and companies were perfectly capable of adjusting the productive hours according to the sun - if they needed to.

    Farmers who are usually (wrongly) used as an example were against the clock changes, because it really isn't relevant to them and only creates problems for their schedules with live stock.

    The actual reason for the daylight saving was saving energy and coal. This is not an issue anymore, because the energy used for lighting is negligible today.

    The only sane thing to do is to stop changing the clocks and then focus on making working schedules more flexible.

  • This isn't the first time he claims to have technical issues. Why doesn't he just bring his own shit?

    This constant whining over stuff and stiffing contractors really isn't a great flex for someone who wants to be in charge of anything.

  • Well, it IS ridiculous

  • I think of it as finished software. It's the MS Paint or Notepad for sound. No development necessary.

    The only reason I've used it is because Adobe bought CoolEdit and started "developing" it, a.k.a.: Turned it into paid bloatware and changed the name to Audition. So, I found Audacity which is free, small, to the point and quick to use.

    If you do need more features you'd probably be better off switching to something else in the first place.

  • Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year

  • Well it isn't 6.

    From Wikipedia:

    In 2002, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Celebes crested macaques in Paignton Zoo in Devon, England from May 1 to June 22, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website. Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five total pages largely consisting of the letter "S",the lead male began striking the keyboard with a stone, and other monkeys followed by urinating and defecating on the machine

    Mike Phillips, director of the university's Institute of Digital Arts and Technology (i-DAT), said that the artist-funded project was primarily performance art, and they had learned "an awful lot" from it. He concluded that monkeys "are not random generators. They're more complex than that

  • YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know

  • forced into an echo chamber.

    Yes, it does that.

    Using YouTube on a new account or through one of the alternatives will result in a wildly different feed. I was recently shocked by seeing the default non-curated feed on YouTube.

    Absolutely none of the content was interesting to me; most of it was directly anger inducing political crap or just plain brainrot. I would definitely not visit that shit page ever again if the default feed was my first impression. I don't know if it's supposed to be a right wing breeding ground by now, but it sure isn't as balanced as I would have expected.

    My regular YT feed is obviously much more interesting to me, and I can use it to find new content, but since I don't want to wait for the ads, I now only watch my own subscriptions on a different frontend, which of course will create an even smaller echo chamber.

    I get how a curated feed can benefit the user, but YouTube is just not making it possible. It will only show (rage) engaging content and without the dislike function, you can only decide not to watch the crap or get shown more crap until you do like it.

  • The whole thing is an abstraction. The nucleus isn't actually tiny ball shaped things mashed together, but rather cloudy stuff which would probably not be identical if we could actually see them. The quarks that make up protons and neutrons are considered elementary particles and identical, but they don't move around much unless energy is used to split them.

    The electron however is an elementary particle that moves outside of the nucleus and can move from one atom to another. So the hypothesis is that if we could follow one electron from the big bang to the end of the universe, and this electron could move both forwards and backwards in time, it would potentially be enough with just one.

    It probably doesn't hold up very well, but it's an interesting thought experiment.
