- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 2 days ago:
Well, advertisement is form of expression. I don’t accept that kind of expression in general just like some people have food intolerance.

Sorry I don’t watch ads, can be funniest joke on planet if there is brand name in it I don’t listen, my immune system don’t allow me to do that.

You need to burn old books first. Also old CD, DVD, BlueRay movies don’t have ads. There are so many movies produced you won’t be able to see all of them if you start right after born and keep tv on 24/7 for the rest of your days. Don’t get me started about old books and old music. People could literally stop buying those things and they will be fine.
Most of us are just adicted to marketing, news and more things that literally don’t matter because you have no power to change those things. We’re just animals after all, we eat meat so we’re predator, we like to follow the lead.

- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 6 days ago:
I think we can end discussion here because what you wrote is completly not true.
Do you even know what P2P stands for ? Do you know that you use P2P every day and all the time, for example by using HTTP2/QUIC.
You need 0 resources to run P2P network.Cloud computing costs are way higher than colocating server anywhere. Many companies are moving out from cloud after facing high costs. The only place cloud is shining is when you want to spin up many resources for a short period of time. And that is because we don’t have kind of computing power provider on the market where you could spin up many resources from many local computers.
Do you even know why cloud took of 20 years ago ? Have you been using internet 20 years ago ? Compare connection speed of local houshold from 20 years ago with speed right now. Compare mobile internet plan and think how it changed.
You have no idea what you are writing about.
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
I think that cloud costs are pretty much hidden under the corporate curtain. Things like water usage, energy usage for those 24/7 running servers, amount of servers that are running and not doing anything, finally the environmental impact around those big blocks of servers are pretty much not existent in the media.
Torrent sharing is doing fine.
Also doing same things over and over again because USA have it so Europe must have it to is not the way to go for me. I think Europe need it’s own way for technology and have all the bits to do it. I’m not saying that Europe should do the youtube in p2p manner because that’s insane but gov administration and countries beurocracy can go p2p.
P2P energy cost will be way less in my opinion. The servers don’t need to be online 24/7 if you think about it, for office workers they just need them when they are working. For people you can just request old data on demand and spin up server once per week to send bunch of encrypted emails. We’re used to that internet is instant but gov shouldn’t be instant it should be slow and stable so you don’t get punished, that’s completly oposite from what mainstream media internet is.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 1 week ago:
You’re right that good actor makes a difference in average movie. I just want to add that Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis are 67. So those old guys started in theaters where you need to improvise to make people imerse in the play. All they had is a text and their own imagination.
Maybe this lack of improvisation is killing movie industry as I think smaller creators need to improvise a lot and maybe young actors are just like puppets, don’t have this background where they need to put themselves in the role without all this technology around where you can look on everything how other people did it.
Number of technology stimulants these days is insane.

Honestly most recent movies and tv shows look like scenarios were generated by AI or some barbie sweet happy life generator so there is nothing entertaining. Creators on the other side mostly do the stuff without script, just making their raw videos without asking if they can put something in the video, so it’s entertaining because they make mistakes or have controversial opinions that you can’t see in modern tv.
I think people feel more connected because they feel something when watching person talking on the screen whatever they want to talk about instead of person reading from script.

- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
Maybe we go back to p2p, public key encryption and desktop apps. ipfs can store all the data in the distributed manner and gov can pay citizens for keeping data as a tax exception. But who I am to question building big corporations over and over again.

The problem is that those companies are monopolies and can raise prices indefinitely to pursue this shitty dream because they got governments in their pockets. Because or gov are cloud / microsoft software dependent. They can like raise prices 10x times in next 10 years and don’t give a fuck. Spend 1 trillion on AI and say we’re near over and over again and literally nobody can stop them right now.

Yes it’s fairy simple, basically you draw random things and think about what you want to write about, then the person who needs to read it just go back in time and reads your mind from that period using your paper card. People do it all the time, it’s called Art.

- Comment on Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86] 4 weeks ago:
People don’t appreciate what they have if they have food and place to sleep and full day to do anything they want.
I never understood that, I am the same, worried about things I shouldn’t. Ambitious for what ? Earn 10-20% more ? Your mind will tell you “good job”, now spend on stupid things to feel better.
Like I have a choice. If I need to find a job I don’t have a choice because I am poor. That means It’s 99.99 chance I will be poor for the rest of my life. Deal with that and enjoy that you have extra 8-10 hours of your life back because after 20 years of work those might been remembered as best years of your life.
There are many people like you on this planet, miserable, looking for their place, maybe instead of looking for job find them and talk with them, maybe you will find same ideas and build something.
Scared to talk ? Try to write something, I wrote something here.
And look, if enough of you stop looking for a job the job will need to start looking for you because those rich asholes can’t do anything themselves and they need lot’s of slaves.
