A lot of the most popular YouTube creators only post every few months and their content always gets plenty of impressions
They have a rule about not swearing at the start of a video because of the auto play feature and various accessibility tools, having it is probably better than the result of not having it.
I regularly get offered videos of all lengths including variations of mr skellybones that are between 8 and 15 seconds, though since shorts were added those are normally uploaded there now. Yes shorter videos earn less money and yes of course they do, why wouldn't they? If lord of the rings was two minutes long then I
I imagine the box set would be cheaper.
Most people love YouTube, I know it doesn't feel like it when you're inside the Lemmy bubble but the big tech companies are far more popular than anything we like
Are you a climate change denier or one of these that wants it to happen?
Hydro is a fantastic power source and a vital part of the transition from fossil fuels. If you look at the list of selected projects they're all pretty decent and benefit local economies as well as the national energy strategy.
Yes it would be nice if Biden could wave a magic wand and change America into a socialist utopia but the reality is he has to work in the system that exists and which a disappointing majority continue to want to exist.
Based on the evidence presented the murderers didn't have anything against trans people, didn't misgender her or anything like that. She seems to have been selected simply because she was an easy target due to various mental health issues
Metaverse isn't doing too terribly, earnings are up the only reason we see headlines about huge losses is because money from other departments is going into research and development which is actually a pretty healthy business model when done right.
Meta have done great stuff making a lot of the most useful open source ai tools, I think it's possible zuck is just a bored little rich robot that wants to live in the future.
There's a common thing parents do though where they don't notice the point they lose total control, or lose control totally.
It's almost impossible to keep kids from the internet, they can't stop prisoners getting phones in so what hope do parents have? How do you stop them using an account accessed by school computers, a secret second phone brought second hand or even worse brought for them by a creepy guy online. And if you block the services you know of it'll push them into ones you've never heard of, unmoderated and dangerous places.
And of course there's the dream of trust but none of us tell our parents everything, especially when we've already gone too far and are embarrassed we broke the trust.
If you as a kid are going to miss out on what feels like everything that's happening with your friends then you'll find a way. Or you'll get bullied at school by groups the form online and with online memes.
There needs to be safe places that kids can access social media, just saying they can't until they're a certain age won't work and if it did then it sets them up for a lot of issues on their first day.
A lot of it is down to parents to teach internet skills and awareness, it's also down to major platforms that target kids as a key audience to ensure there are effective systems in place to combat and avoid negative situations which might result in a child being harmed.
I think the shortage caused a lot of people to lose interest because they couldn't get one, also a lot of the board improvements have pretty complex benefits so they open up new possibilities but don't really have a killer app yet. I think the power requirements have pushed it out of the range for a lot of projects though.
It's so hard to tell if they're heading towards a sweet spot or off a cliff with that one, I think the rest of their line is much stronger, zero 2 and the 3a+ or whatever it's called are Ideal little boards
Yes perfect example, people use quantum as the buzzword in every film so people think of it as a silly thing but when CERN talk about quantum communication or using circuit quantum electrodynamics then it'd be silly to try and tell them they're wrong.
Of course your going to ignore it, it's the inconvenient reality ignored by everyone that wants to feel like a hero because they wished for an easy solution to difficult problems
It's a computer science term that's been used for this field of study for decades, it's like saying calling a tomato a fruit is a marketing decision.
Yes it's somewhat common outside computer science to expect an artificial intelligence to be sentient because that's how movies use it. John McCarthy's which coined the term in 1956 is available online if you want to read it
It's just the obvious trajectory of social media attention seeking within the disaffected aesthetic. Someone that loves to feel special and the center of attention picks a cause almost at random then throws themselves into the fray as loudly as possible.
It's always happened, you can see them in every community and aesthetic - conspiracy theories, political types, sports fans... Protest communities are especially attractive to attention seekers, it's great for social media clout to pretend that you're doing these crazy things for a bigger cause
Why would I care it's probably stupid, all these groups have childishly stupid goals like 'why don't we just not use oil, I'm sure no one ever though of that, right?' and 'force everyone to live the lifestyle I personally happen to prefer'
Their plan always overlooks the fact that total chaos would ensue if anyone ever tried what they're demanding, if they had anything worthwhile to say they'd be saying it in the relevant places and people would be listening.
What's wrong with visually indicating the thing being talked about?
