Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say “Ads? Oh yeah, I don’t even notice them anymore, I got so used to them.” whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.

Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.

There is nebula.tv which works like that, but it lacks content. I am a subscriber, but I’m running out of interesting content to watch there.
OBviously there is network effect in play here. If Youtube switched to subs-only model tomorrow, they would have much wider content offer from the get-go.
- Comment on How we can make solar power at night | DW 1 month ago:
It’s been in commercial operation ever since it started operating, and the company running it have since started two more solar projects in Spain, so I’d say it is economical.
Kinda makes sense, Spain, and especially southern Spain, where these are located, is getting a lot of sun all year.

There is also one in Spain, near Sevilla - en.wikipedia.org/…/Gemasolar_Thermosolar_Plant
- Comment on Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says 2 months ago:
No, the article definitely could not be written for any country in the world, because it lists concrete actions, numbers for past few years, and concrete plans for next few years.
But judging from your comments here and elsewhere in the thread, you do not care about discussion, and will move goalposts whenever it suits you. You are not a nice person. So, PLONK.

Well, that’s a bald-faced lie. Maybe if we were only talking about Lithuania, which does import big chunk of its energy budget from Sweden, but Estonia and Latvia generate most of their energy on their own - and according to the linked article, plan to generate even more in near future.

FWIW, Baltic countries are going hard for solar, see lemmy.world/post/17098210
- Comment on Firefox CTO Responds On Collecting User Advertisement Data 2 months ago:
An experiment should be opt-in, not opt-out.
- Comment on Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome 2 months ago:
All through the same network, I’m afraid. I haven’t felt the need to separate it like that, although it should be doable using docker networks, or maybe on even lower level, via Linux network namespaces.
- Comment on Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome 2 months ago:
I just use my own custom built docker images and have a few aliases set up for different “instances”, e.g. one for banking, one for tis eshop, one for that eshop, etc. Each with its own firefox data dir and own downloads subfolder. Plus an alias to launch a temporary clean instance that gets discarded after it exits.
- Comment on Solar leading Baltic states to energy security 2 months ago:
But at latitudes 55 to 60, days are really very short in midwinter, so wind and waste wood are the likely candidates in future - after oil shale leaves the scene, but before synthetic gas becomes feasible.
I was wondering exactly this - the Baltic countries are quite far to the north, so the feasibility of solar energy must be bordering on questionable there. Thank you.

Then I suggest adding www.goodnewsnetwork.org to your mix of news sources. Sometimes we need to balance out all the click-seeking negative-only news sources.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 2 months ago:
The language choice was because Ladybird started as a component of SerenityOS, which is also written in C++. With this separation, they are free to gradually introduce other language(s) into the codebase, and maybe eventually replace C++ entirely, piece by piece.
In Hackernews thread about this, the head maintainer mentioned that they have been evaluating several languages already, so we’ll see what the future brings.
In the meantime, let’s try to be mature about it, what do you say?
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 2 months ago:
That’s a web rendering engine, not a web browser application. You need a lot of stuff other than the engine to make a browser.
- Comment on Ideation - What to Run? 3 months ago:
Back in college, we had this huge LAN spanning hundreds of computers, and we had a central instance of a search engine that crawled all the Samba and FTP shares, so anyone could just look up whatever media or software they were looking for, and if the particular computer was online at the time (people do turn off their PCs sometimes, go figure :) ), download it.
Of course, I’m not sure if having unprotected SMB/FTP shares is something fitting into your idea of a local intranet, but it’s an option. The guys maintaining the crawler even put the code online, and it should still mostly work: github.com/fslts/lase
