- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 3 days ago:
That’s a relief. I’ve been dreading the day when they introduce server-side adsm but it seems we’re not there yet 😅 I’m not sure what they think they’ll accomplish with this when it’s A LOT less painful than turning off your adblocker and dealing with the ads, though. Maybe they’re just trying random things to see what works.

It’s okay, if it takes too long to load I just use yt-dlp to download it and watch it later. You try to waste my time, I waste your server’s resources.

I’m not saying that it’s not a lot worse now, I do agree that it is. But things were already headed this way long before ChatGPT. SEO had already gone a long way in killing the web, I think AI will just be the death blow.

“about to destroy the web” ???
Where have you been these last 10 years? It’s been getting worse for a long time, even before AI. It’s just getting worse quicker now.

Thanks for educating people about the usefulness of adblockers, YouTube ❤️

sorry I meant it in a joking way, I should have worded that better 😅

There no need to feel so special, people in Paris are rude to just about everyone. My condolences to anyone who has to work or live there 😬
- Comment on What editor or IDE do you use and why? 1 week ago:
VSCode because I’m too lazy to learn Vim and I’m not enough of a masochist to configure emacs.

At least those corners are cut with shiny new knives. Have you considered buying a new set?

How can you have too many knives? There’s just so much variety… Butter knife, steak knife, fish knife, fruit carving knife, cheese knife… GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!

That’s cool. What makes it special?
Nice one. If it’s only a status thing he’ll scrabble to find something to say about it other than it’s price. And on the very very low chance that it’s not, he’ll have an excuse to explain. Who knows, he might be a watch nerd who’s really proud that he could afford that watch because it’s a special watch to watch nerds for watch related reasons and he’ll tell you all about it.

That’s actually way cooler 😂

Can your watch play Bad Apple? Can your watch run Doom? Can you install Arch on that watch? … … didn’t think so 😛

I don’t even know what to say. How can you make jokes when reality already is making them for you? Have we finally entered The Onion Timeline?
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think the idea itself is awful, but everyone is so fed up with AI bullshit that any attempt to integrate even an iota of it will be received very poorly, so I’m not sure it’s worth it.

I know you’re supposed to say size doesn’t matter and I don’t want to be mean, but really… 4GBs DDR3 RAM? 🤣 🤣 🤣

People listening to music or watching videos on their crappy phone speakers on public transports drive me crazy… I don’t want to hear the coughing fits of agony of your phone’s speakers for hours on the train 😭 JUST BUY EARPHONES

Me trying to explain why I found 2001: A Space Odyssey an excruciating an confusing snoozefest without a single interesting point… while also insisting that Barry Lindon is one of the greatest films ever made : I SWEAR MY OPINION MAKES SENSE
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 5 weeks ago:
Sure, but it takes extra steps and the results won’t be as good as direct screen capture. It won’t stop someone determined, but it’s annoying enough that most people won’t bother.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 5 weeks ago:
It’s okay people, even if the feature in itself is not awful, MS Teams still is awful. We can still bash on MS to relieve past Windows trauma.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 5 weeks ago:
I really want to dump on them but I can’t find anything wrong with the feature… That’s depressing, I’ll have to look elsewhere for my dose of “MS can’t do anything right lol”
