Man, how did you find that? I wasn’t getting anything on ddg.
Anywho, looks a little buggy (it doesn’t seem to deal with website credentials, so I’m not sure how it ever worked), but it’s got the bones to do what I want to do. Thanks for the link.
Edit: Fixed it! https://github.com/patchy-oss/fwdl/pull/1
Lots of popular Youtubers are already there, and they strip the sponsor segments out of their content too.
If you watch it, there’s an air of excitement and surprise given off by the person on screen that comes across even though their voice is heavily masked. Makes me think the dude was jacked to the tits when they finally saw it working.
For anyone struggling, lemmy web interface added the colon into the URL for the blog post link. Here’s a clickable version without the colon:

It adds that vidoes … should not be made for the “sole purpose of getting views.”
Now do the rest of the internet.
Yeah, and I see no mention of type-safety and concurrency.
Yeah except one is a private entertainment establishment, and the other is a public transportation service.
The perfect consumer-facing example of this is Clear at the airport.
Instead of waiting in line to have your ID checked by a TSA agent, you let an iPad take your picture and then have an agent walk you to the TSA agent and vouch for you.
The whole iPad thing is marginally faster than just checking your ID by hand, so really they just found a way to monetize cutting the line. This provides zero net benefit to society except for extracting money from people for something that’s supposed to be free.
Also, when everyone has Clear, we’ll be back in the same boat with long lines and they’ll probably charge more for Clear+ or some shit.
Oh huh. I just remember him winning the new shareholder vote for which I believe the stakes were “gimme money or I leave” despite there being no legal requirement to pay him.
Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.
They just paid fucking 60 billion dollars to him to keep him from quitting. Maybe a smidge of sunk cost fallacy.
Depends on how you sell them, but yes. Don’t assume that you aren’t hurting an individual when you steal IP.
“We lied and paid a $3M fine.”
Heh forgot about the App Store.
Maybe a bad example, but there is certainly a trend recently of purpose built hardware with “free” services failing to justify the expenses of the necessary backend infrastructure getting turned into useless landfill.
Car Thing, Facebook Portal, and this dumb little treat dispensing dog webcam that I used to have come to mind.
Everyone hates subscriptions, but when it comes to hardware that needs to generate revenue to function, I think a token dollar or so a month is appropriate.
Edit: also thinking about it more, core OS software features that are arbitrarily linked to new hardware (like Apple Intelligence) are definitely designed to sell more phones over just selling more software on existing phones. I think it’s fair to say that there’s a revenue link there.
I’ve been using a Sunbeam flip phone for a year or so. Paid for the phone up front, and pay $3/mo for use of maps, speech recognition, and continued bugfixes.
Even if phones never got new features, dev time still needs to be committed to security updates, and services (like Siri) need to be paid for. The model of getting 100% of your revenue from new phone sales is starting to break. If I could pay $3/mo for Siri or whatever and never have my phone go obsolete, I think that’d be a good deal.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
I floss and electric toothbrush every night. My dentist routinely complements my hygiene. Every cavity I’ve had filled in the past 8 years started from before I had an e-brush.
At a recent visit after remarking on how little plaque I had, my dentist asked if I brush twice a day. I told him no, only once a day.
He immediately changed his tune and told me that I should brush twice a day for better results.
I think he’s in the pocket of Big Paste.
You can also request all of your posts on Reddit in a neat little csv. Takes about a month to get though.
It would cost like $1k for some YouTuber to buy a few burner android phones, slap prepaid sims in them, and then talk to them about their love of Hyundai and protein powder. It would blow the whole lid off whatever conspiracy were all just resigning ourselves to.
Such an easy thing to test and yet there’s zero evidence that it’s happening. At least the way people assume.
