- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 3 hours ago:
It’s a bit odd, but isn’t it equivalent to forking and putting up a fork elsewhere?
I guess I don’t see the problem.

Would be cool if Google search indexed public discord servers.

In their defense, advertisers weren’t seeing those same people.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 2 months ago:
I remember seeing a startup at one point that wanted to put mini-CDNs in people’s homes. Small black boxes that would automatically be a CDN not just for your home, but the whole area. Of course, sites would have to use their CDN network, etc.
I actually thought it was a really interesting idea. Almost like federated CDNs.
Imagine if every Xfinity router has a built-in 16TB CDN: it would be an interesting way to possibly change how bandwidth works and makes it back to the DCs. Most popular stuff would be closer, faster.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 2 months ago:
The problem is the term quality would be used to block out certain creators. The definition would wind up being vague and/or arbitrary.
What one person thinks is quality may not be quality to someone else. In a way that’s a niceness of YouTube. We can each upload what we think is good… or bad.
Even then if a video goes big viral (which is arguably something a creator may want), the bandwidth costs could skyrocket.
Then it’s like: maybe we need CDNs and more storage and boom now it’s even more expensive. I just don’t see fediverse video working great long term without big money to back it.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 2 months ago:
Makes me miss a time where they couldn’t tell if ads were actually watched or not.
Sooner or later, ad blockers should just simulate the ad being played (in the background) with the real content going in the foreground to act as if the ad was watched.
Kind of like going to the bathroom during commercials.
Then again I wish we had a real alternative to YouTube. (Don’t point me to the fediverse video stuff … that’s not what I mean.) There is no real competition for a place to freely upload videos … or on the other side find all that content. No one wants to scale enough to compete. (Very few probably could considering the amount of new content per minute).
If only there was real competition, then YouTube would have to fight over our attention/usage by lowering ad count.
No competition means worse for all.
- Comment on VPN by Google One is shutting down for good 2 months ago:
Kind of funny that they sent an email with like 3 benefits of Google One being dropped but nothing added back.
They should drop Google One. It’s literally just storage afaict.
- Comment on OpenAI transcribed over a million hours of YouTube videos to train GPT-4 2 months ago:
I’ll be that guy here and start a small fire.
If it’s not OK for OpenAI to violate YT’s terms of service, then it’s not OK to use an alternative frontend or ad blocker that also violates ToS.
You should be for enforcing the ToS or against it. Allowing one version of breaking it without the other is fickle.
Some people think OpenAI should stop, but they should still have their ReVanced, which boggles my mind a bit.

Exactly the same boat. But man Cloudflare is better in every way. Having an API to update/fetch records for a zone does wonders.
- Comment on When Vice Shuts Down, Where Will its Articles Go? 3 months ago:
Probably but I think the point they were making was more along the lines of: what if the Internet archive itself ran out of money or closed up.

People can abuse it all they want. I’ve actually used this feature to parse for some info in comments.
I dig.
- Comment on Please Stop 3 months ago:
If making payments in crypto back to FIAT was free it would be more popular. For me it’s mostly useless since the fee to spend crypto is more than the (often free) fee for using my credit card.
New needs to be better and cheaper to be picked up.

- Comment on House panel unanimously approves bill that could ban TikTok 3 months ago:
If the same videos TikTok had were instead on YouTube shorts, would all you people be happy? What about if Meta had it? It’s pure nationalism and old people being scared of short form woke-ness.
I believe every social media has a misinformation problem, but I’m not just pinning it on TikTok.
Heck, our fear is the same reason we don’t have cheaper EVs. We say 'the CCP… ’ and poof less competition and shitter availability for Americans.
I think it’s ridiculous. I could care less if the CCP knows what type of short form videos I like. I’m sure our government has the same type of data. Obviously users could care less too. Leave choice to the people: hence freedom.
I believe in freedom of speech. Trying to take this (stupid) app away is a violation of it. I don’t care about who owns it or gets data from it.
And no: I don’t regularly use TikTok.

What’s the biggest HDD out there? I mean at sizes this big it’s a lot of data to lose in one go if it dies. Even if you have backups or whatever that’s a lot to have to restore.
- Comment on Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth? 4 months ago:
Doing this would lose a sense of work vs home time for people. I have some coworkers on the other side of the world, I look at their time and know they shouldn’t be online anymore. I tell them things like “Go be with your family” or “Must be sleepy considering how late it is for you”.
It gives me a sense of humanity to know if it’s 8pm their time, it’s way too late for them to be working. I’m sure I could adjust if we all used UTC but it would be so stupid to change.
Also imagine hours for businesses all sounding weird as heck lol.

Actually both happen: low paying jobs lead to being below the poverty line and therefore eligible for welfare.
It’s not great; especially when companies like Walmart cash in on this by paying less and telling employees to apply for welfare.
