It’s not a complaint, just being honest.

Too long; only read half.
They’re not mutually exclusive.
Rich people can still be very racist, they just don’t need to express it directly because they can hide it behind classism most of the time.
In a way classism is a way of thinking extrapolated from racism similarly to the aristocracy. By pretending they are a completely different superior race within their ethnic group who stands above all other ethnic groups.

I am well aware, the first sentence of the person you replied to is a direct responds to the article, the context was not far off.
But sorry if my reply bothered you, my reply was just as much intended for the random scroller/reader and nothing personal.

Um… You are aware you made your comment about ai being much more then just llm within context of a discussion on wether the ai bubble will burst or not?
Cause that’s what this post/thread is about.
The ai bubble will burst nonetheless. I was also playing on the “sir, this is a Wendy’s” meme. In a way joking that your comment is actually not relevant to the discussion.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 2 weeks ago:
Once the ai bubble breaks for llms it will drag general machine learning down with it once panic sets in. People wil dump any stock that even faintly smells like ai.
Some actually valuable business may disappear, on the other hand those that survive and are undervalued may actually be a good investment opportunities.
This is not financial advice, to gamble your money is dumb.

Can you give me some channel recommendations cause my main struggle is that I don’t branch out.
The few channels I do follow I have for followed for years. Veritasium, Steve Mold, Kurtzegesagt.
Some of those might have partreon/flowplane but that’s to rich for my blood.
Especially good tech/science oriented channels i’d love to know whats out there but I don’t want to follow algorithm recommendations.

That’s a bit quick to start shooting people with a ban don’t you think?
I thought they where just trying to be funny.
I have the option enabled where I can see how often i up/down voted specific users and I have been positively suprised on the amount of times i encounter people who I have disagreed with, in agreement on different topics.

Ok so first, congrats on your archievement!!
I am involved with very similar things, writting scripts to yt-dlp the last good content creators to my jellyfin server and using a custom invidious setup. (Aided by claude).
I also sympathise with your vote remove scripts, I am altering websites to my own preference similarly.
I was going to talk about how invidious is still not true freedom from YouTube, just its crap website.
But then you never mentioned invidious in your actual comment? How does your daily setup actually look. What do you do with content that Is still exclusively YouTube?
And a big point of critique, that bold end quote, its a hyper common AI structure statement of “it’s not this, - it’s that” ai does it all the bloody time, it’s cringe and makes me feel sick. Ai is horrible at this kind of rallying message.

The handful of decent cops in the uk and europe: “Am i joke to you?”
Obviously they still have plenty of incorporated rot but some countries actually train police to de-escalate and are held to standards.
It also helps that gun violence is exceedingly rare when guns are regulated well. Having to fire a bullet can be a legal a nightmare for a cop because of the paperwork and immediate investigation into wether it was appropriate for them to do so.
- Comment on Is Twingate good for remote access to a selfhosted Nextcloud server? 3 weeks ago:
Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.
But thats not always an option.
My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.
If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.
- Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug 3 weeks ago:
Well said.
Did they ever give any reason why they even consider it an acceptable thing to do?
Imagine making an art piece to be displayed in a museum only to find they allowed an interim with next to zero experience to paint over it.

- Comment on Is Twingate good for remote access to a selfhosted Nextcloud server? 3 weeks ago:
I never heard if twingate but i see no reason why not to selfhost Wireguard.
Its a proven open source vpn.
As far as a little research went. Tailgate is proprietary software and caters to enterprises, it has some open source alternatives that have a similar functionality. Most if them using Wireguard under the hood. Look for tailspin/headspin or netbird.

Supposedly Australian aboriginal groups have lived in the same region for 40k+ years.
They have regional consistency, genetic continuity over which culture gradually evolved each generation.
Does that count?
- Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know the type of flashes causes by this glitch but the post specifically warns for epilepsy.
That part of the post might be wrong, that’s completely fair and i trust you have less to gain from lying.
Though my point is, if it is dangerous. What are they supposed to look out for? The “recommendation” should be google stop doing this shit.
- Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug 3 weeks ago:
If you have epilepsy, watch out so you don’t randomly see something that could potentially kill you.
Great job google.

- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 3 weeks ago:
Ah i completely missed that context.
I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations
Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.

I don’t need one but i know plenty of old/disabled people for who a straw is a necessity.
I am happy we moved away from plastic straws being mainstream but i also feel like there should have been possible exceptions for medical use. The paper and aluminium alternatives are really not that good.

I get it but its rather ableist.
Also you never tried drinking from a fast food drink cup full of ice. Freezes your damn lips.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 4 weeks ago:
Must be different requirements indeed. But yours don’t sound like typical consumer requirements. Why do we need the same scale as a large corporation?
Me and a few of my friends all work in IT and each have a dedicated proxmox machine that runs all of these things just fine. Nextcloud has so far only failed me once when i needed it and it was actually a cloudflare issue.
Navidrome i use all day every day and need accessible from anywhere. I have not updated or checked the container since setup and it has been stable as a rock. Fuck spotify which doesn’t have the bootlegs i listen to anyway.
The endgoal, which i archived is that i have no need for subscriptions and actually own my data which is the point right?
My actual hobbyist goal is to create something that can persist locally if the internet one day disappears.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 4 weeks ago:
My jellyfin can stream 4K just fine, even remotely through a vpn so i am not sure what you mean.
Without transcoding you might require a gpu but still not a standard “gaming spec” pc cant handle.
Come to think of it, my internet provider does allow upload up to 25mb/s and this is the highest end available for consumers in my area. Technically thats a subscription but realistically its bill similar to water/electricity.
The upload limit is also purely and artificial cap, they could easily quadruple it if they wanted.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 4 weeks ago:
What kind of subscriptions require large infrastructure?
Music/media/cloudstorage can all run on a single pc/server costing maybe half a day of setting it up by most people at the level of having switched to Linux.
Acces to a big multiplayer game server is the only one that really comes go mind.
If it’s just for a few people there is very little need for maintenance, rarely any developer work.

- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 4 weeks ago:
Few things are so normal and natural as a human consuming substances that change their conscious perception and mind.
Caffeine, often forgotten is by far the most consumed drug in the world being used by roughly 85% of people globally. “First coffee, then work” is a testimonial to how benign this fact is.
But what if you don’t like caffeine, what if you simply prefer the effects of something else? It’s your body, no one should be able to tell an adult what they can do with their own body and mind.
Just be conscious about it.
Know what you are taking.
Understand why you take it.
Study, learn what it actually does and how different doses/methods affect you.
Find how it does not affect you, what it can’t fix.
Look for help when you need it and don’t feel shameful for asking such. You are human after all.
