I’ve had YouTube Premium since the days when it was called YouTube Red, so like a decade. I’ve grown used to not seeing any ads from Google and anytime I watch a video not using my account it’s torture.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
A lot of creators have just turned into corporate shills. I stopped watching ETA Prime’s channel about tech reviews because it was becoming pretty clear that mostly everything he got was paid for by the company. Also, most creators are putting their own ads into their content.

Thanks I remember using this the last time I tried to use MO2 and it worked well, it was everything else that was the nightmare.

Heh, third time’s a charm I guess! I love how they went from Nexus Mod Manager to Vortex and now back to Nexus Mod App 😂

I’m a Linux SysAdmin, so I’m well versed in Linux. My server, laptop and phone all run it, but my desktop still runs Windows 10 because modding Skyrim (via MO2) is a pain in the ass (apparently there have been a lot of improvements in this area in the past year or two since I last tried).
Windows is such a garbage OS. For the past week or so, ModOrganizer2 would hang for a few seconds anytime I attempted to explore the files of a mod I had installed. MO2 gave no hints regarding what the issue was. I searched for an answer last night and found it on GitHub: a disconnected network drive is the cause…even though everything I was accessing is local 🤦♂️ This apparently affects various programs and isn’t specific to MO2, since the person that posted the solution found the original solution in a Steam bug report from over 2 years ago!
I unmounted the network drive and everything was back to normal! Fucking garbage OS.

- Comment on With AI sexual abuse on the rise, the White House is tapping Big Tech for support. 3 months ago:
I was just talking with a friend who is a software dev (I’m a Linux Engineer so I do software as part of my job, just not my main focus) and we were just commiserating on how 75-80% of the world doesn’t understand that “AI” is just regurgitating information it has collected and it’s not like Jarvis or Skynet and thinks for itself.
I agree that the term “sexual abuse” is definitely misleading, I think “sexual exploitation” is better. I agree with you it’s no different than face swapping, but the difference is that it’s a lot easier for the general public to do it now than it was 5 or 10 years ago. It’s also pretty fucked that a fake image of you could potentially put you in “hot water” years down the road and you have zero control over it.
While I definitely hate the “AI bubble” that has grown tremendously over the past 2-3 years, we definitely need to figure out how to place limits on it before shit really gets out of hand in another year or two. The problem is that anyone that knows anything about this stuff doesn’t work in or for the government. The woman in the article that said that this needs to be regulated at every point of course doesn’t work in tech, she works for some rights organization 🤦♂️

Musk made 151 tweets on Sunday
Assuming he’s awake for 16 hours, that’s over 9 tweets an hour. Someone is definitely scared.

- Comment on [Repost] Reliable alternatives to AWS Deep Glacier for ~5TB? 5 months ago:
5 TB for $150 seems awfully high (didn’t click the link). I’m on my first year (and did it before they doubled their first year prices) and I got 50 TB for $500.
1 TB is $15 for the first year.

I remember seeing this back on Reddit a while ago, but you may be Casein intolerant rather than Lactose intolerant, it’s less common but the same effects. Some dairy products have more Casein than Lactose.
