Wouldn‘t be surprised if this was an accident. Wouldn‘t be the first time something gets messed up after a Youtube update where Youtube simply changed how some things work for functionality. These things can make Adblockers act up in a weird way.

I for example noticed last week the first video of a session starts at an automatic resolution of 360p. I have to manually change it to 1080p. Then it remembers this and keeps it for a while. I could blame Youtube for this but I bet it has something to do with the fact I‘m skipping ads and Youtube suddenly doesn‘t know anymore in what resolution the video should be served. Perhaps it‘s getting an error and thinks I have a worse connection than I do and tries it‘s best to load the video anyway.

What I‘m trying to say is: We don‘t know why exactly Youtube acts up. Could just be a bad interaction from an update that is purely unintentional. Either way Adblocker devs will find a fix for it quickly like they always do.

It‘s another mass surveillance bill. Don‘t be fooled.

You want to end it on Fediverse apps too, right? Riiight?

Oh good. This will make it less accessible to others. Next step is a ban of the whole idea in the EU.

American tech giants are just one fascist cult.

Meaning Palantir also catalogs all your Discord chats.

Spotify lies as naturally as it squeezes musicians.

I like how IG Metall calls out Tesla‘s lie before the article doubles down and gives examples of what Tesla is also lying about including job cuts at the site. Which is a very easy thing to debunk I might add. Those numbers are public.

The games I fall out of love with are always online games. They are the type of games I spent my most time with. By far. They give me the highest highs but also the lowest lows.

So yeah, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft, League of Legends, you name it. Not even an Ocarina of Time or a Baldur‘s Gate 3 can come close to the fun I had in these games. But I still love the latter and not the former. Not anymore.

I still play online and co-op games that I very much enjoy but one day I will feel burned out by them too.

That‘s honestly less surprising or impressive than people using Death Stranding for that.

Most people have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. You can see it in the polls everywhere.

It‘s so funny to me that Nexon is now known as the Arc Raiders owner. They threw money at Embark Studios and had nothing to do with development otherwise so don‘t expect anything great coming out of this.

That sounds more like the Discord I know.

Also the media landscape in Japan has become kind of a joke in recent years. Racism has definitely had an uptick since the pandemic like it had in many places.

I hate the home screen so much and that I can‘t customize it. It‘s basically just full of ads disguised as recommendations.

Intel is arguably worse. They‘re in a bad spot right now so they can‘t do crazy things like Nvidia but they totally would and will go down the same path. I don‘t think US designed hardware will ever truly come back to end consumer products.

Way too late. This has been a talking point for a while. The AI bubble will burst but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll just return to their roots. Those new data centers need a use case and they need a good reason to keep building more.

I guess the silver lining is that this plan B won‘t work out either so we‘ll have to see. But until then we better take good care of our current hardware. It will probably have to last a good while longer.

It‘s sad to see they use the very tool that has become a true menace for anyone who wants to play games right now. There are so many aspects to it that put the entire concept of ownership at risk and they just use it nilly willy. I‘m not even surprised anymore but still so very disappointed.

So they invested like $100 billion in AI just for the stock price to slide down by 10%? And Jeff was already so excited for consumers and especially gamers to not own anything anymore.

We‘re talking about running MP3s on them, you know? Something that has been done on much smaller devices for well over 20 years.
