A couple years ago YouTube decided to F up their search. It used to be mostly things you are searching for, now it’s:

20% thing you searched for,

20% Shorts,

10% people also watched,

10% related [extremely tangentially]

10% For You

and 30% ads.

I don’t blame anyone for wanting someone to suggest a link after YT’s search became hot garbage.

Yes, which is why a delicate mixture of both is best because they spend their efforts fighting each other rather than fighting your freedom.

How are you able to generate images so quickly? When I tried to run Stable Diffusion on my nominally comparable GPU (RX6800M, similar to 6700XT, 12GB VRAM), it took over a minute to get halfway to generating a medium sized image before my entire computer crashed.

Does this mean that the global warming potential of gaseous polyethylene (plastic) is something stupidly high? Even Methane (4 springy balls radiating from 1 bigger ball) has a way higher (28:1) global warming potential than Carbon Dioxide.

I don’t like that first article, it gives contradicting information about the energy usage per image, saying 0.29kWh/image then saying 0.29kWh/1000 images.

The other problem with Photoshop is that it now scans your projects.

Just price it right and people will rent. For a single person this is all they really need.

I think that YT should open up APIs to make a better frontend for third party apps, like what Reddit had, at least to premium users.

If you aren’t signed into an Apple ID it’ll give you nag pop-ups.

If you don’t accept the iCloud T&C, even if you never use it, it’ll give you nag pop-ups.

If you haven’t set up Apple pay, it’ll give you nag pop-ups.

It’ll also give you a double nag pop-up for every new minor iOS version until you update it.

I’m sure I’m missing a bunch here.

I use Calc84 on the Google Play store, free with minimal ads and a one-time fee to remove ads.

But it seems like others have found FOSS versions here.

Most Android skins. Even stock Android can get naggy at times.

And don’t even get me started on iOS if you haven’t done what Apple wants you to do. It’ll give you a pop-up at least once every day.

Oh, and Smart TVs? Don’t even think about having any control; you are a slave to the OS.

So you’re saying I can get away with anything as long as I somehow legally declare myself a corporation?

Don’t forget the few artists that do exist are forced to make state propaganda

Thanks!

The Soviets killed Nazis. They were simultaneously one of the most brutal regimes in history, especially under the leader (Stalin) that had the Nazis killed

Or just the 10 commandments translated to the language taught in language classes. Seeing the phrases drilled down into your head for years in another language is interesting.

I thought Mediatek was even more closed off than Qualcomm.

Not that much when the weather is great motorcycle riding weather, but I’ve just gotten to level 16 in Palworld and beat the first 3 boss fights.

Ford Maverick? Same price as a Civic, good mpg (for a truck), and it can replace your car.
