Yeah but my point was moreso that there are more important things to focus on that are probably easier to do. I mean, reducing shipping by just the fact you don’t need to ship oil anymore is pretty nice, it’s free reduced emissions, I’m just saying that it’s not that big of a deal. It is a nice plus however.

Yeah but if I’m not mistaken, emissions from shipping are quite low anyways. It’s something like 2-5℅ of all our emissions, so it’s pretty low priority.

If they’re following the standard, which they often do but sometimes don’t, white indicates 2.0 and blue indicates 3.x. I think there are more but I don’t remember the other colours.
- Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations. 2 months ago:
For me this is fighting over semantics. It doesn’t really matter if it’s legally piracy or not since nobody is gonna go after you for it either way. It’s about whether what you’re doing is moral or the intended way. You can use adblocker, but then you’re just freeloading. Fact of the matter is that nothing is free and everything needs compensation when at scale. You can rightfully claim that YouTube shoves too many ads and that it’s a monopoly so it abuses it’s position, but at the end of the day you’re using the service without compensating for it, so you’re stealing at least something.

Why does this have but plug support lmao.

I mean that’s just regular windows shenanigans. It often says it’s waiting on some apps forever, and when you click cancel it tells you it’s actually updating and that’s why it’s not shutting down.

No it actually wasn’t. Idk if you used basically any search engine nowadays but SEO bullshit has destroyed useful results for like 90% of searches.

I mean, what’s the problem with attached bottle caps? They’re pretty cool, and they don’t really get in the way.

Didn’t even see that one. Probably just a missclici.

The fact that X86 came after a full stop so his phone auto capitalised it.

Honestly, the worst part of the AI craze is that so many people hear AI now and immediately hate it even though it can really do some amazing stuff, e.g. in medicine. AI as a blanket term just has so much variance, there’s a ton of trash and a ton of great stuff.
- Comment on Sweeping EU rules for tech giants take effect today. Here’s what’s changing | CNN Business 8 months ago:
Yeah I really don’t get it. Signal even had something similar. They made it so you could use the app as an SMS client as well. All your contacts would show up and if they didn’t have a Signal account, you could just send them SMS’s. They removed the feature, but they can obviously do it.

It would probably just use RCS as the backend and have some different functionalities, they could easily just highlight “this person isn’t using Signal so chat features are limited”. Hell, Signal had exactly this when they made the app work as an alternative SMS client. They removed that feature, but it existed previously.

I’m pretty sure any petty theft is very hard to track down. Not just bikes, if someone broke into your house and stole some minor things it’s almost certainly not gonna get found. Bikes are the same, it’s very easy to resell them and repaint, and nobory registers bikes.

I love how his second response can also be true even if he is a robot.
