- Comment on The US population only accounts for 4.2% of the world. 4 months ago:
I'd like to see stats on that, because there are equally many 2nd language speakers in English speaking spaces as well. Not to mention the brits, irish, aussies, kiwis, canadians, etc, and that's before we get into this list of places with a non majority first language population, like many countries in Africa.
I think the percentage of Americans on the internet will be higher, but still not a majority
- Comment on Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 85% of threads retract in 1st 5 months ago:
I prefer flipping that number on it's head. 15%. They delivered 15% of what they promised and are now saying "fuck it."
It's the equivalent of writing your name on the exam, and then sitting there doodling for the rest of the time.
- Comment on Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED 6 months ago:
I feel this. I'm well aware that if my partner wasn't on Facebook, we wouldn't have a social life. I HATE that fact, but that, sadly, is where people put their events. I don't think I'd join if she left, but I can't deny that I benefit from her being on the platform.
She won't leave until everybody else does, and they won't leave until everybody else does, and so nobody leaves. It's dystopian.

You're forgetting about the schmuck on the other end of that equation that has to answer the same question a thousand times over.

To. Protect. It.
You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

Net neutrality is the status quo, it's not trying to "solve" anything

"VR in the 80s" is my go to analogy. Sooo many promises, such tantalizing potential.... and zero follow through
- Comment on How do you model complex curves? 7 months ago:
My idea is essentially to match the official stand that ships with it, but flip it and put a stand on the "bottom." I think it'll be really nice aesthetically but unfortunately it seems like it's not as simple as just mirroring it. To tell the truth, I'm probably going to end up going this route anyway, but I feel like I have to at least try the hard way first
- Comment on How do you model complex curves? 7 months ago:
Thanks, that gives me something to go on! I realise I'm probably taking the hard road but, eh. Worst case scenario is a little wasted time and filament. No one ever learnt doing it the easy way anyway. If I get anywhere I'll report back

- Comment on "No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated pages of spam in Google results? Fucking pristine on Kagi – the right answers, over and ov 7 months ago:
I take your point, and agree when it comes to Google
But here's rabbit hole for anyone interested. That brand name being synonymous with the product thing is actually fairly regional.
We just call them tissues here. I think you can get Kleenex brand here, but I don't think anybody cares about the brand of tissue. There's a particular kind that has some kind of aloe Vera extract which is all I'll use if I'm sick, but I don't even know what brand they are.
On the flip side, we call marker pens Biros, and where I grew up we called them Khokis

so I've just giving it a quick test vs google with the query "open source chromecast alternative"
the first result for both is a reddit post about NymphCast
it's the rest of the results that are interesting though.
Google has a ycombinator news article about NymphCast and then decends into the usual "17 best chromecast alternatives in 2024" rubbish
Kagi on the other hand lists the github for NymphCast, and then goes on to list others... mirrorCast, pyCaster, free Cast, an article on using a raspberry pi as a chromecast alternative.
obviously this is only anecdotal, and very unscientific, but it's got me interested for sure! Gonna bookmark it and see how it goes

it's on the chromecast remote as well now. Is there an open source chromecast alternative?

Imagine watchibg let alone even having the option for shorts.
I like shorts for the most part
Report for what?
Misinformation and hatespeech mostly. They have some crazy, false pseudoscience to back their "opinions" and they express them violently. Like it or not, these videos "promote hatred against a protected group" and are expressly against youtube TOS. Reporting them is 100% appropriate.

So that looks like main long form content. I'm specifically talking about youtube shorts which is Google's version of TikTok

Youtube Shorts is the absolute worst for this. Just recently it's massively trying to push transphobic BS at me, and I cannot figure out why. I dislike, report and "do not recommend this channel" every time, and it just keeps shoving more at me. I got a fucking racist church sermon this morning. it's broken!

- Comment on Public trust in AI is sinking across the board 8 months ago:
So I'm mostly in agreement with you and I've said before I think we're at the "VR in the 80's" point with AI
I'm genuinely curious about the legit use you've seen for NFTs specifically though. I've only ever seen scams
