The biggest problem with batteries is that people think that we need them.

What we need is for big consumers (heavy industries) to learn to take the electricity when it is cheap.

Yeah, that would mean everybody pays for hosting videos themselves. The question is: is that a viable strategy / are users willing to put up with that.

NewPipe stopped working for me two weeks ago, and it seems like Google won’t allow NewPipe to download Youtube’s content for free anymore. I don’t think Youtube/NewPipe will ever be usable again. I think we have to say goodbye to Youtube.

The problem is hosting (storage, network) is expensive.

IIRC some platforms (feddit.org, catbox.moe) pays $1000 per month, and that’s mostly just static images.

Videos is much more than that. Who pays for that?

Yeah, me too.

I liked watching ads 12 years ago, they were a funny interjection/change.

Nowadays the ads are so extremely obnoxious, it feels as if they’re poisoning my mind. No way i’m even gonna watch them for a second.

I think it would make sense to channel all bots/propaganda into some concentrated channels. Something like https://lemmygrad.ml/u/yogthos where you can just block all propaganda by blocking one account.

and anuses are vaginas, as long as you treat them as one.

oh come on

people are in denial that their way of life - getting paid for intellectual output - is coming to an end. it’s not the case that AI just produces slop. surely it does but so do a lot of humans. you know all the memes about human workers having imposter syndrome - feeling as if they don’t even really know what they’re doing? AI only has to produce higher quality output than them. and it definitely can.

the reason why people shit on AI so hard is because they’re afraid - afraid that AI will “out-compete” them. in that sense, you could also call it “jealous”, like a woman fears she’s replaced by another woman.

people need to respect themselves and others enough to agree to survive - and thrive, even - in the absence of a productive output. in other words, only if you can allow your fellow humans a living income without work, you are truly in a position where you can live comfortably in the future.

I’m out of the loop.

What exactly did Snowden show us?

I’m highly excited about this development!

We can’t have open software on opaque hardware. The hardware must be transparent.

true

no no keep the bot accounts so we can get a second Reddit facebook exodus wave

high pressures are scary as shit.

apart from that, there’s no sunlight down there. it’s basically like living in antarctica.

I think the reason is that most real numbers are gonna be the result of measurement equipment (for example camera/brightness sensor, or analog audio input). As such , these values are naturally real (analog) values, but they aren’t fractions. Think of the vast amount of data in video, image and audio files. They typically make up a largest part of the broadband internet usage. As such, their efficient handling is especially important, or you’re gonna mess up a lot of processing power.

Since these (and other) values are typically real values, they are represented by IEEE-754 floats, instead of fractions.

Actually, you can consider RGB values to be (triplets of) floats, too.

Typically, one pixel takes up up to 32 bits of space, encoding Red, Green, Blue, and sometimes Alpha (opacity) values. That makes approximately 8 bits per color channel.

Since each color can be a value between 0.0 (color is off) and 1.0 (color is on), that means every color channel is effectively a 8-bit float.

here, you dropped something: /s

Honestly i prefer my console window to look a bit more “simple” - no background image, smooth animations, or anything like that.

The reason is that i prefer simplicity, clarity and efficiency over “beauty”, animation, and smoothness, as the console window is a tool for work for me, not an art project.

Features that make sense to me, however, are :

• being able to save the terminal output to a file, similar to tee, but after having typed the command.
• larger “hidden” output buffer (more than the default 64K) - it doesn’t show on screen, but can be redirected into a file later on
• possibly also integration into other programs, for example being able to simply include a bash console into a dev environment.

also a feature like “format this output” would be nice - for example, cat doc.md and then “menu -> format as markdown” and it opens a new window where the markdown text is pretty-formatted.

I think it’s because somebody has to produce that media, and the one producing it gets to choose the license for it, and that license can make it free or non-free.

Now, for open source software, somehow, a lot of people came together and built software that was free. While for movies, shows, books, whatever, the same thing didn’t happen, or at least not to the same extent.

I’m all for FOSS gaming btw.
