  Renting doesn’t just mean that you can’t afford to buy. It’s got other advantages, like not having to deal with repairs, upkeep, being able to move pretty much on a whim… Guess that’s worth it to some ppl

  What about a CDN for JS libraries?

  What about YouTube embeds?

  What about images from Imgur?

  Why should all of this be handled by me, on my domain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So how is this related?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI companies have all kinds of arguments against paying for copyrighted content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He might’ve borrowed them from a library.

  OpenAI could’ve trained on borrowed ebooks as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  lmao you’re so wrong on ads being more profitable than premium, especially on a per-user basis

  According to this you can expect to make around $18/1000 views. That’s with 55% going to the creator and 45% to Google. Which means that Google makes around $14.5 per 1000 views.

  Coincidentally, that’s also rougly the price of YouTube Premium. Are you telling me that you watch a thousand videos per month?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They might be allowing them to run the boxes for free, but the ISPs are saving money on bandwidth, too.

  Get enough users for the ISP to care and they’ll work with you. Otherwise, you probably don’t have all that many users to begin with, so the overhead that maintaining and distributing these boxes would create wouldn’t be worth it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it’s based on watch time)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pays Apple $18B to $20B a year to keep its search in iPhone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s literally it though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t fit very well into something like a smartphone though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decision to allow wider truck bodies paves way for electrification of big rigs in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The operational overhead is often too time-intensive, among other issues.

  You can either send a lad with a truck down the highway or you can send one to a train station somewhere, have him unload everything, wait for the train to leave, the train to get there (you’ll be lucky if it’s going straight where you need it to), have someone go to the destination station, unload it into another truck and finally deliver it.

  It’s might only be worth it for veery long trips, and the start and finish have got to be in good locations (harbors f.e.).

  It makes sense to use trains, but as soon as you look into it, it becomes almost undoable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ireland: Wind power outstrips electricity demand for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t be so sure, at least yet. In Europe, everything’s connected, so they’ll just end up selling it to other countries.

  Can imagine that it’s better than selling it to random local companies for next to nothing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had three cards from Kingston and SanDisk fail on me quite regularly while using the Pi.

  M.2 / external storage is definitely the way to go

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The water does get back into the ocean sooner or later, at least most of the time, see - rivers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the IT guys see the users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was mostly kidding, though it depends on the problem itself - if I need an explanation for a function argument, no point testing shit if the docs answer it in 15 seconds. If it’s something more solution-y, I might do some testing before consulting the papers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the IT guys see the users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea coz that’s boring and for nerds

  He meant it as “wasm will be invoked by javascript” and not the other way around.

  How exactly would Mojang enforce this for private servers?
