YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers

Jump

  • mpv with sponsorblock

    How?

    • YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.

  • The American brain can’t comprehend this

    • People are speaking with ChatGPT for hours, bringing 2013’s Her closer to reality

    Jump

  • What do you mean by the second part of your comment?

    • Iron Man-inspired material made from DNA and glass is 5x stronger than steel — and 4x lighter

    Jump

  • “So midjourney came up with this BS image and we didn’t even care to look at it closely”

    • Space is starting to look like the better mining operation | Mining in space might be less environmentally harmful than mining asteroids on Earth.

    Jump

  • I think the point is that emission from space flight to and from the asteroid (with a sufficently economic size of payload and fuel) is starting to even out. If you take that into account it’s not so obviously less harmful to the environment. But I’m almost certain that it will be way more expensive for a long time.

    • Raspberry Pi 5: available now!

    Jump

  • What windows-only tool are you referring to?

    • Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU

    Jump

  • Really interested in your thought process here

    • California becomes the first state to ban four chemicals in food, including red dye No. 3

    • The complete guide to building your personal self hosted server for streaming and ad-blocking powered by Plex, Jellyfin, Adguard Home and Docker.

    Jump

  • Are you referring to the one that lastpass blamed their own lean on? Which turned out to be a 5 year old, long fixed CVE?

    Jump

  • Curious, when did they handle hack poorly?

    • Great news — social media is falling apart

    Jump

  • Part of the reason could be that when there was a large wave of people switching, including journalists on their own instance, that instance promptly got blocked by a large percentage of the fediverse based on some unclear moral grounds.

    • How I got me sea legs back

    Jump

  • You keep your shit and it’s also generally better quality (if you pick the right stuff to dl)

    • How I got me sea legs back

    Jump

  • Install sonarr, radarr, get a usenet indexer and server account, and maybe set up a few torrent trackers that you have access to. Add Plex or Jellyfin (YMMV) and bam, happy times.

    • Bluesky sees record signups day after Musk says X will go paid-only

    • Making hydrogen from waste plastic could pay for itself

    Jump

  • Also, avoiding waste entirely is the only sustainable solution. Recycled plastic items are inferior in quality and then end up in the ocean as microplastics.

    • Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes

    Jump

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Lot’s of new people joined during/after the reddit shitshow. Naturally, not all of them like it and that’s fine. If anything, I’m surprised there isn’t more churn.

    • Environmentalists condemn Australia’s ‘woeful record’ after 48 plants and animals added to threatened species list

    Jump

  • Sure, but that’s not us creating new species. And evolving a species that is selected for thriving alongside humans does not happen in a few thousand years. So what you are proposing doesn’t make sense. We absolutely, crucially need to try and avoid killing off species because the lost biodiversity has dire implications.

    • Environmentalists condemn Australia’s ‘woeful record’ after 48 plants and animals added to threatened species list

    Jump

  • Human caused extinction is extremely accelerated compared to species going extinct due to environmental changes like ending an ice age. It it also extremeley recent, compared to billions of years of evolution. So on one hand you have highly accelerated extinction in practically a blink of an eye (consider the last few hundred years or maybe few thousand if you go back to wooly mammoths - still a blink compared to billions). On the other hand, new species are not created by humans and it’s still widely science fiction to even consider the possibility.

    • Porn is harder to access

    Jump

  • Are there even sites with user-uploaded content anymore? I feel like it’s only studio content (which is safer, but we miss out on real amateur videos)
