You’re right about the forums. While they’re useful as smaller chat rooms separate from the “main ones” (for example, someone in a Discord server I know started a forum for fanart and discussion about a specific upcoming video game), they’re completely useless as a replacement for traditional forums.
Also, like you said, the search feature simply isn’t good enough to be able to efficiently search through all those forums. While Reddit’s (and probably Lemmy’s) search engine isn’t great either, it at least has the benefit of being indexed by other search engines.
its completely unbearable
How so?
“We hate ads, too!” — some window asking me to turn off my adblocker
No, you don’t. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be showing me this notice asking me to turn off my adblocker. Either that or I hate ads way more than you do.
And, once they discontinue it, I hope someone creates an add-on to bring it back like they did with dislikes.
It’s a bit out-of-scope, but it’d be a great SponsorBlock feature!
Yeah, the dislike bar used to be a thing. You could see how many dislikes there were compared to likes, all represented on a line below the two buttons. It was sort of like this image, except imagine the “yes” and “no” as a single line (but retaining their separate colors).
They’re at least understandable (usually), but they’re like 5-10 seconds behind the video (sometimes longer), and they can be difficult to interpret at times.
Honestly never seen that happen.
Most times, I see it used on ads, political figures, and Elon himself.
I recently blocked that instance, so who knows?
That assumes every ad is exactly the same (or at least the same length) and at the same spot for every user.
That’d require a bit more knowledge than the average YouTube user has, unfortunately.
Careful - if we ever detect evasion, that’s a lifetime IP ban.
And lose out on any potential future profits? Probably not. Especially if the IP is dynamic.
Yeah, definitely not impossible. I had to install some TamperMonkey scripts to get Twitch adblock working, but it works.
No, silly, that’s Audio Over Ethernet! /j
This isn’t a joke I made up on my own, either. That’s legitimately what Sony calls it.
PlayStation doesn’t have an X button, it has a Cross button. /j
Just based on what I’ve seen from other AI implementations (including Windows Recall), it seems like he was at least right that it’s a security nightmare.
I’m not saying he said that out of the goodness of his heart or whatever. He definitely only said it out of jealousy or some other self-serving reason.
My broken clock statement wasn’t meant to be taken as a compliment. It’s the opposite. He’s been wrong so many times that I’d gotten used to just pointing and laughing at anything he says or does. And it’s gotten to the point that I’m genuinely surprised he actually said something “right” for once, even if it was for his own selfish reasons.
In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
People can usually unlock the carrier on their own. Many phones (or at least every phone I’ve ever gotten from T-Mobile) even come pre-installed with a carrier unlocking app. It’s just not automatic, and certain conditions need to be met.
People may also sometimes be able to buy phones already unlocked directly from the manufacturer if they want to. (Whether or not they’re able to do this depends on the manufacturer.)
