Wow, a new unknown bacteria! Probably two pills of any generic antibiotic and it’s gone! Oh no, let me never pet a stray ever again.

Last year one guy in England went outside for a walk, slipped and fell hitting his head against the pavement – he ended up in a hospital. Me, I now do not recommend anyone in the world ever leaves the premises of their apartment.

Esperanto’s equivalent would probably be Haskell.

Python is probably more like Spanish. Very easy basics, but then people from different regions of where it’s has spread out barely understand each other

Victims?! You’re using someone’s infrastructure, very expensive programmer talent, countless content creators dedication; you’re using all of it for free, and you’re the victim when the other party tries to enforce a payment?

People like you is why communism will never become a reality.

dude

YouTube has a transparent 70/30 revenue share model for creators.

Your entire premium subscription fee is split into 70 to creators and 30 to google.

The 70 are forwarded to the creators in proportion to the watch time.

in fact it’s incorrect that “the more you watch, the more they earn”. You can only watch two videos in one month and each of the creators will earn the respective 4$

Then delete the YouTube app and go to the nebula. It’s a free country.

They’ll have to be taught a hard lesson. But realistically family was overly generous with a lot of folks essentially paying 2$/m for premium. You can definitely double this amount without many of them bothering to pirate.

Or people actually earn enough not to give two flying fucks about 10$ a month and want to support their content creators and the platform that enables them.

unpopular opinion: you can pay for premium and use Vanced/ReVanced because you value hosting infrastructure provided, and you understand that most of your money goes to the creators not google. And yet you still want control over the UI.

And you know what. If everyone actually did that instead of using Vanced for adblocking, it maybe still would’ve been alive.

Jeez, you fools. How about rolling into the lab at 11, drinking coffee till 11:30, have at most half an hour to reminiscue about yesterday’s failures, while looking at results well-knowing they’re unsalvageable, and then going for lunch with the crew?

If you start your day at 8:30, you misunderstood that it’s not your paycheck that makes a PhD great.

Years go by but the internet legend lives on.

Dunno about that science article, but I bought a poop knife a while ago and it works great!

The f are you on about? YouTube has a fairly affordable ad-free tier with a transparent revenue-share model that multiple top content creators have openly endorsed.

This ad infested hell only exists because most of the internet users think it’s outrageous to pay 10$/month for an all-you-can-eat VoD service. Some top creators did branch out to create their own streaming services, and spoiler alert, it’s more expensive, or just as expensive but with muuuuch less content.

I do care if all that YT content is gone. It’s a fuckin goldmine.

I’d really wish they actually had the audacity to just paywall the entire platform. Pay or fuck off, no ads.

And then people like you can go back to the good old days of some other random free video hosting service where a 360p video with a cat meme was buffering for a minute on a good day, or was completely unavailable on a bad one.

I hate that this is even a feature in the web standard. A result of some massive corporate corruption for sure.

You’re too far up your own ass.

Vanced got nuked, revanced constantly needs to be patched, otherwise it slips to the low quality settings. Free YT days are numbered.

And no, it’s not easy. Unless they want to encode ads into videos, and re-render the whole thing. Which is ludicrously expensive. For as long as they don’t there will be a way to not play the ad chunks.

What’s there to disagree with? you prove my point.

it stood on the shoulders of volunteers

Yeah. A classic story. A sysadmin took the old server from his work after they upgraded and now runs <insert video game guild imageboard/wiki/chat> on it.

With the amount of traffic modern web pipes through Google’s and Cloudflare’s servers, all of you homebrewers wouldn’t be enough to take over even 5% of that.

You can’t go back to the good old days because you’ll break your back trying to, and the collective lemmy anon can’t, because they’re too used to freeload while getting big tech quality service.

As a European I can perfectly feel the 0 degree. I step outside and 5 seconds later I can tell you if it’s below zero or not.

For me “it’s now really hot” in summer is exactly when it’s over 30C. It being 86F doesn’t make any more sense. Approximately above 35C I will avoid going outside. Which would be 95F, not 100. From here, the temps in summer in the south of Europe are often around 100F at peak. Above or below doesn’t matter.

All that Fahrenheit scale is good for is if you live in a continental climate, more to the south, e.g. some useless place like Oklahoma, where 0F is approximately year low, and 100F is approximately year high.

For all other places, where the temperature delta over the course of the year is not as extreme, this Fahrenheit scale is as unintuitive as celcius, e.g. you just get used to it.

Don’t come crying back when they’ll force you to either pay 50$/hour for your cat videos, or entirely block off your access to the internet as they control the engine behind 99% of the browser market share.

No, you will not come and host it for free on lemmy. It already struggles with hosting, and already needs monetary support, even though most heavy content is on some 3rd party domain.

But maybe you’ll be happy to donate 10$/months so your only source of fun content doesn’t die.

I understand. Safety and stability of embedded software is clearly overrated.

Why learn about stack overflow. Tomorrow some kid will press the “open” button on your device, will get rejected 64 times, and on the 65th the locking mechanism will crash. Makes sense to me.
