- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 3 weeks ago:
The new design seems more lifted, I think it should be fine to fit your finger below there without having to lift it.

That’s… the whole point of this idea.

Time to place a supermassive black hole right next to the other university to slow their progress!

the s in ‘scrap’ is silent
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
Tesla will be renamed to “X (formerly known as Tesla)” to keep it distinct from “X (formerly known as Twitter)”. Then, once all his companies have been renamed and finally merged, he’ll just run X into the ground. Way more efficient than doing it for each company individually!
- Comment on There’s a 5% chance of AI causing humans to go extinct, say scientists 10 months ago:
Currently, AI is not advanced enough, I agree. But it could be eventually. The thing is, it doesn’t even need to be mad at us for us to go extinct. It’s enough if it has different goals and human survival is not a priority of the AI. And goal alignment is a surprisingly difficult task from what it seems like.
- Comment on Piped/Invidious 1 year ago:
The thing is, I do see ads when I open the embedded video/playlist on youtube! I don’t think businesses would specifically avoid embedded playlists, but then happily advertise on playlists on youtube. It just looks like an oversight rather than a business decision to me.
- Comment on Piped/Invidious 1 year ago:
yeah I know, makes no sense. I’ll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I’m sure I’ll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.
- Comment on Piped/Invidious 1 year ago:
I selfhosted Invidious a while back, but gave up on it when it stopped working and I couldn’t figure out why. I have no experience with Piped.
I settled on a third alternative, but I don’t want to point too much attention to it because I think it might be flying under Youtubes’ radar at the moment. But let me say this: if you embed a youtube video on a third party site and have it be part of a playlist with only the video in it, you won’t see any ads. so for example I’d be embedding a link like this: www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?playli… on my own page and can then watch it without ads :) if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up.
