  ducks, well known fish

  I’m shocked.

  Although his opinion is unpopular and you may have not of heard of it, that fact has precisely zero to do with its truthfulness.

  Mobile youtube links, gross

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you are watching live content, you are correct

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EE warns parents against giving children under 11 a smartphone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The emergency argument can be managed by not giving kids phone internet aceess (wifi or lte). Im sure there are products out there which fit that requirement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go already⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All it takes is one guy behind you checking his phone, getting distracted so he gets cut up to create another stop start system about 5 cars back.

  You’re vision of the traffic jam is a fragment of the entire pie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont want to offend you, but you’re a drop in the ocean when compared to the grand total of Youtube users.

  Pretty much everyone I know outside of tech who has ever “showed me a cool video on Youtube real quick” has waited to load ads before showing me their phone.

  If you get outside, touch grass and meet real non tech people pretty much all of them need educating on ad avoidance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember just a handful of months ago when everyone was saying how “helldivers is already game of the year”

  Lmao how the mighty has fallen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also pub/sub is already estsblished and used as common computing abbreviations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wheres the data to back up this claim? That article is purely opinion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don’t understand quantum physics⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This implies the majority of people believe they understand quantum mechanics, which I’m fairly sure is not true.

  Bell curve is the wrong meme format for what you’re trying to convey

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great analysis, you’re got it spot on there. It’s frustration from learning nothing new from something they thought would be interesting. That probably all boils down to bad the title of the article not being descriptive enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do people get frustrated about that? Someone is experiencing something for the first time, it’s the circle of life.

  I’m in my mid 30s and my wife bought a record player during the revival of records last decade. Do you think older generations than me found that frustrating? Personally I think it’s fascinating to watch technology go full circle generation by generation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never understood it, but there’s a lot of gatekeeping when it comes to older products. Some people think they have more rights to enjoy a product they knew existed for longer and it’s really strange behaviour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Glorious Victory⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t miss out on any gameplay story by waiting a year. I have a core set of friends, we’ll do just fine in a years time.

  The only thing I’m missing out on is this dramatic period of instability

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Glorious Victory⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “too long”? The game is 4 months old.

  Hot take, don’t buy any games which were only released in the last 12 months. Matured games are far more stable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t it always like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s very clear to me the top creators make far too much money, I agree that business model is far more favourable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Objectively wrong.

  YouTube could not be profitable showing one quick ad per video, especially if it’s longer content.
