Definitely seems like Djokovic had reduced movement; I think that was why he was coming to the net so much this match & the whole tournament really. Seems like he wanted shorter points, but Alcaraz just blasted passing shots, and Djokovic volleys weren't good today.

Alcaraz played so well though I agree, even without the knee I couldn't see Djokovic beating him today.

Theoretically they might be able to, but it would be a very difficult case fought against a massive corporation. I doubt they'd consider it worth the trouble and legal fees, especially given there's no guarantee of winning.

Easily one of my favourite episodes in years. I'm a sucker for creepy monsters, cosmic horrors and monsters whose origins are only vaguely hinted at and this had all of that. Overall much more polished, better-paced and intriguing to me than The Star Beast (which I still liked!). This was Doctor Who back at its best for me.

Somehow, Altman returned.

Oh, so it's shit in the way I originally thought, then.

And also shit in the second way I thought, since adblock is a symptom of how terrible they've made the experience on their platform and if they want less people to use it they should make that experience more reasonable.

Given the shit big companies have got up to in the past and continue to get up to, as exposed in past and ongoing antitrust cases, that conspiracy theory you mention really isn't all that unrealistic. Yeah, it's not what happened in this case and it isn't the simplest solution, but it's absolutely a believable thing for YouTube to do, though I think they would have hidden it better if they had.

Ah, I was wondering why YouTube was taking so long to load recently. I thought it was just because their code was shit, and it turns out I was right, but not in the way I thought.

Do you mean automate the actual transcribing process? If so, section 2 in this FAQ explains a number of reasons why AI isn't suitable for accessibility purposes, though it's not an exhaustive list. Or do you mean something else?

Still needs to be checked over to make sure it didn't get anything wrong. In my experience the mistakes AI make with monospace fonts tend to be very awkward to notice (like 1 and l and I and | being interchanged), so I'd have to go over with a fine tooth comb which, for me, since I type quickly, isn't noticeably faster and is a lot more boring.

 

NOTE: I am now using Photon Lemmy links for this archive because they actually work, whereas standard lemmy.world comment links are disabled due to attacks that utilised them.

 

I've noticed very recently (last two days or so) that when I get a direct link to a specific comment, it won't load anything under certain circumstances.

Following the link from the button on the comment, either from the profile or from viewing other comments on the post, will work, but using the link as the URL for a post in a different community, or opening a new tab and pasting the link in, don't.

In the former situation, the UI of the post I gave it as the URL for just freezes until I press the back button, still showing the post. In the latter, Lemmy doesn't load at all.

I'm using Librewolf 116.0, based on Firefox 116.0.
