I would make a toxic relationship joke but this shit is just not funny.

It became downright personal for me. Its about accessibility.

My brain works a certain non typical way which is challenging to live with at best.

Sudden advertisements hits me like a physical punch in my face.

The ui focus on everything new rather then a nice subscription view with filters meant i who does not watch daily would frequently miss new uploads from the channels i do like.

I felt like i was in a toxic relationship being pushed to watch on their terms while openly hating that i protect myself from ad-sault by using blockers.

I realize i did not need things to be this way and am smart enough to build and alternative.

Now i have a yt-dlp script downloaded the latest uploads from chosen channels straight to jellyfin and also a selfhosted invidious with custom tweaks for everything i dont want to spend storage space on.

Basicly i take 100% of what i liked and never have to visit the website directly again.

They are waging war on invidious, it breaks on occasion. Yt-dlp though, stable as a rock.

Unrelated but how do people feel about the ai images when used for something like this.

The font is very telling for being DallE

People want the means to survive, grow and live in comfort. Just because we live in a capitalist dystopia does not mean the current requirement to live is what we want.

If you have all of those and somehow cant find a passion that creates value i rather have you sit at home and do nothing because i have no expectation the work will be of any quality.

Of course you wouldn’t sit at home and do nothing because that would be boring and people with the means to be mentally and physically healthy expect more of themselves.

Point to the “dirty” jobs like swiping the streets and i’ll point to the volunteers doing a much better job keeping things clean then the career people. Passion and the inherent desire to make things better is everything.

All the important cyber security stuff is build on free software nowadays, because it is superior software in every possible way you can measure.

Traffic with complete misinformed expectations is generally undesirable. There have been reports of places getting lots of negative reviews because of this.

“Bloat” the less system there is (while still working as a modern system) the better. If i need something i can install it myself.

Learning to properly configure pre existing drives with archinstall was an adventure on its own.

Nothing happens = The rich get richer

Economy goes down = The rich get richer

Economy goes up = The rich get richer

Global pandemic = The rich get richer

War = The rich get richer

Fires/floods destroy neighbourhoods = guess what…

Good thing the people in charge of capitalism are known for their wholesome ethics and seperation of people in power, otherwise we might be worried theyd abuse the above as an Incentive to feed their greed.

I thought CoPilot was just a rebagged ChatGPT anyway?

Hahaha. No. (Though your not Complety wrong)

Copilot relies on a few different llms and tries to pick the best one for the job cheapest microsoft thinks it can get away with.

I was given a paid copilot license for work and i used to have chatgpt pro before i moved to claude.

This “paid enterprise tier” is by far the dummest llm i have ever used. Worse then gpt 3.5

Tbf they don’t really claim that when you read the research, thats mostly media hype and ceo assholes spinning words.

Its good at lots specific tasks like rewriting emails and summarising gives text, short roleplay, boilerplate code. Some undiscovered uses.

Anthropic latest claims they would not hire their own ai because of how hard it failed at the test they give, They didnt do that expecting validation but to measure how far we are still off from ai doing meaningful full work.

Based on the headline this is not about blocking ai scrappers but by making them pay to do it.

Based on the discussion below which moved that goalpost the most likely answer is by making it cheaper to scrape “legally” then it costs to mimic millions of individual residential browsers with human users.

I don’t know how many aces cloudflare has up its sleep to detect secret ai but they definitely have the tools to make it pretty costly and difficult. There is also a broadband impact difference between a few capitalist megapigs scrapping secretly versus loads of global basement dwellers and smaller companies scrapping worry free.

Mom, the billionairs are using their wealth to manipulate who gets elected again.

What really grinds my ears:

Hyperlinks about alledged tools that are just links to another article about said tool.

Different context but the first time I heard about this it was touted as the future for VR

Nah, kinda the worst time really. Take a good look at society right now and one could argue we utterly failed and should reject it.

I am not really talking about being hacked but about anyone but you having more control over your system then you.

Maybe in your case thats very little information but I am a tech hobbyist and if i do not have full control and knowledge about every aspect of a device i bought, do i really own it?

If a consumer can’t fully own it, it shouldnt be sold as such. I considered such deeply unethical and damaging to the future potential of technology.
