It’s really not. YouTube doesn’t get to decide what I play on my browser, I do

Could use the same argument for most games, streaming services, movies that you bought etc. Games that require you run Denuvo or Steamworks to function, streaming sites that require you run that particular browser or app with that particular DRM software, Blu-ray discs that require HDCP to work etc.

You can avoid these companies dictating what you run on your computer by doing one thing...

And then put twice the amount because it's only half as salty. Still dumb imo.

It's only good if you are deficient in potassium though, which I believe a lot of people are (although I don't know how easily our body can get potassium from KCl)

Afaik most laptops with Qualcomm X chips seem to be even more efficient than Apple's Macbooks, at least when running native code. The biggest problem they are having is platform maturity, Microsoft has spent the last decade doing all the wrong decisions, and now they are waiting for software developers to port their code to ARM, while Apple has had a 4-year head start.

The chips are not bad though. As for competing, there's really no competition as Apple uses their chips exclusively on their laptops, so there's literally no room for any competition.

Italian cuisine is mid anyway someone should teach them about these crazy things called spices.

What's your favorite cuisine and where are you eating it?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Def not Italian. Never heard of it. The traditional Tuscan chicken recipe is "pollo alla cacciatora" and has nothing to do with this

How it works is that once you start getting these Server Side Ads (SSA), Youtube will create a sort of queue of videos in place of your usual video, with the first few being ads that can't be skipped and have a red bar (not yellow) and in the end you'll get your video. They are not literally part of the original video stream, they are separate streams that get injected as if they were the original video. It's called SSAP, and I've been experiencing it from the last weekend. In the meantime, they've pretty much broken their player to implement this.

Ublock Origin has released a temporary fix yesterday here

Alternatively, you can use this extension to redirect from YouTube videos to piped.video I used it, it works very well, can't guarantee for much more.

edit: fixed wording

Nobody wants to do business with unstable ~~nazis~~ people

Plenty of businesses ready and willing to do business with stable (and rich) Nazis, dictators and slavers. Look at the line of people and businesses more than ready to make deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, etc

If you are rich and have a stable government, there's no amount of human rights violations and genocides stopping corrupt fuckers from trying to make deals with you and profit.

bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword

They check all Imperial criteria:

  • confusing names
  • some used only in some systems
  • size depends on where you are
  • some may overlap
  • doesn't manage to cover all the possible needs, but do you really need more than 64 bits?
  • would probably cause you to crash a rocket

I think it's a consequence of higher interest rates drying up VC money, meaning that tech companies now have to actually be profitable, rather than just grow.

If the plan was grow now, profit later, then later has come
