  Invidious sadly doesn’t allow for an account and subscriptions, at least not without running your own server which appears… complex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warehouse automation hasn’t made workers safer — it’s just reshuffled the risk⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Last time though there was a one generation gap before new jobs appeared and a bunch of people got to die of cholera in overcrowded conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspiring. Innovating.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading your comment makes this concept even stranger because you can sustainably farm trees to get the same carbon removal benefits and then also make money selling the lumber which will keep the carbon locked up just fine if you make sure to sell it for long term use applications like carpentry.

  McDonalds where I live also still just uses the behind the counter menus (no kiosk menu) so you kind of need to walk over there anyway to be able to make out the actual text of the menu underneath the constantly scrolling advertisements that keep covering it.

  The problem with conservatism is you eventually run out of others peoples stuff to sell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video game addiction in teens likely stems from preexisting mental health issues⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, We created an increasingly awful world to live in, its no wonder people want to try and live in a different one as much as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I went to the UK last week. Nothing about my trip was legal.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The majority of British citizens would not pass a british citizenship test or even those same customs checks. The customs checks are so broad everyones going to ding at least one flag and the citizenship test has stupid innane stuff like sports questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we can find information by asking GenAI, who needs the Web?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What I really don’t get is that there are in fact models that you can feed a document too and they will directly copy/paste quote relevant parts of that document in their reply complete with a little reference to the correct page. Basically a smarter ctrl-H function that can take sentences as input.

  When that exists why is google using the probabilistic shit in their search?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unions are part of the social contract, its very simple. Those that have aren’t too harsh on those who have less, or we drag them into the street and tear them limb from limb like wild animals. We’re simply working through the various stages between complaints and dismemberment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just out of curiosity how does one connect to the snowflake in the event that normal Tor does not work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your thoughts on this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They could always use a poster…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Black Holes...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair even our attempts at describing a technically possible but implausably simple version of a blackhole are essentially educated speculation. Although worth noting that black hole like objects did appear in fiction before they were discovered IRL.

  Congratulations to the meat sellers on their new increase in profit margins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who fawn over generative AI haven’t tried to use it for more than 5 seconds. I wish it could run a ttrpg game for me or even just remember the details of its original prompt but its not even close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3129: Archaeology Research⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This kind of happens accidentally sometimes. Like it turns out you can use pond scum as a very basic medium for some very shitty but functioning solar pannels, we could have invented solar power as soon as we could work copper and tin if it werent for the whole needing to know all the reasons why you would even want to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Governments fail to implement incredibly obvious, easy, and proven solutions all the time so yeh they can be pretty dumb. Not to mention historical examples of governments (paricularly the UK when it was a world superpower) investing their entire economies in nigerian prince tier scams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Byeeeeeee⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could probably gradually get it moving across the surface fast enough to escape though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget the game development is increasingly shoving the hardware burden onto the consumer by using poorly made tools to streamline development with garbage optimization which is why a gaming rig now has to be powerful enough to simulate a gaming rig from 10 years ago down to the atomic level but the graphics haven’t gotten appreciably better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overheated homes: why UK housing is dangerously unprepared for impact of climate crisis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it feels like such an obvious regulation, any unused roof space should by law have one of the following:

  • Heat reflective paint (This is mostly there for particularly fragile roof structures or people who can’t afford the others)
  • Solar pannels
  • Artifical meadow
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  • Super mario world

  • Mechwarrior 4 mercenaries
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3126: Disclaimer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  iirc its m-dash as well as constant rule of threes and generally using incredibly formal sentence structures even when the language involved is not formal in any way. Kind of like what I just did there though probably with an extra comma after m-dash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK cyber vigilantes generating mock IDs of local MPs to protest Online Safety Act⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that many online services currently asking for ID have a proven track record of massive data leaks I’d argue that demanding people upload photos of their ID is complicity in identity theft too.

  Any good reccomendations for an alternate youtube client?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the USB superposition was just a meme… I need to go lay down, maybe get a rum n’ coke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok booting from USB can’t be that advanced is it? I mean you just plug the thing in then mash F2 on startup, select the USB from the boot menu which is no more complex than browsing a picture folder and hit save and start.

  Don’t forget that saying rich people should obey the law is also illegal.

  Could limited bandwidth perhaps be transmitted via ham radios?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The explanation I saw for this is that fascist rhetoric changes every 5 minutes so AI just can’t keep up with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is a problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this smart lightbulb that I got for halloween last year because I thought it’d be cool to make the porch glow purple for trick or treaters. Now I have to replace it because the app that controls it has decided to try and blackmail me for camera and location access and the bulbs default state without the app is to flash on and off in a way seemingly deliberately designed to cause headaches.
