An ad interrupted my video today, it was Tom Hanks in a podcast talking about his prostate. The ad was (not so obviously) AI generated; both an AI clone of his voice and an AI-generated face-swap/ lip replacement. This seemed pretty surprising because it was fairly convincing. He looks like he is saying the dialog of the ad. It's surprising because there's no way the creator of the ad got Hanks' approval to use his l…

… but look! NEW HUE! We’re not diluting it either!

I could tolerate Mozilla’s annual pontifications on colour and shape, but YouTube is tone deaf. The design changes they are making aren’t going to shape or mitigate the harm the ads they host are bringing.

Am I right that this article nowhere compares against the current red or even has anything with the current red in it, anywhere?

Is that a policy choice there? They don't want to.. not be future looking or something? I don't really get why. It made the article frustrating to read

PC GPU architecture has special handling for cursors to ensure there is as little latency as possible. GPU's have a special buffer and position register for the cursor. But for design.google they hijack the cursor rendering and this low latency goes out the window. First it's annoying that my expected cursor is replaced by some weird circle. But then that it's a laggy circle takes the cake. On a design website too. M…

I watched the Steve Jobs interview when he described Windows as pedestrian. This blog can be described as ”high browery”.

A bit off topic, but I noticed get this weird feeling when my cursor changes style. Something between a "let go of [free] my cursor" and "I wonder what secondary state I accidentally activated". It creates a weird sense of distress. Might just be me. Though I did find it cool how it inverts the underlying thing. I thought it was a text-clipping type css property but it seems to invert media too? Any ideas how thats d…

It's a div with a white background and mix-blend-mode: exclusion

And yes I hate the cursor being messed with for no good reason. It also creates accessibility issues

Six well-paid Google designers trumpeting a new…gradient. Maybe I’m too curmudgeonly for my own good, but that is quite underwhelming.

What’s frustrating about tech industry is that they are probably getting paid multiple hundred thousands of dollars for this. Meanwhile I know of engineers at Google who are being managed out for “performance reasons” after being gaslighted into working 60+ hour work weeks.

Ultimately, average engineers are not a valuable resource they can be replaced within hours.

Even a few actual good design talents is going to have a much bigger impact on product success than an entire room of average engineers who’s skill tops out at react spaghetti.

I now hate YouTube so much because of ads that I wonder which is WORSE for their company — watching the ads or paying for premium, just to take the option that gives them least benefit.

Non-sequitur aside, what specifically do you want to post on YouTube that's not allowed? To me it seems like you have to go pretty far off the rails before they'll step in.

Major television news media have been globally banned from YouTube due to war. Free debate on covid-19 and the vaccines were suppressed and banned on YouTube. Maybe still is, I don't follow that. Those are probably the biggest censorship issues with YouTube. And more are probably to come, as the world spins around.

The down votes are kind of telling. There exists no censorship and anybody who says anything to the contrary has to be censored? If people don't like the answer, they should probably not ask the question.

Now you know why everybody loves the great leader. Because they make sure that the people who don't love him shut up.

I was born in a place where everybody agrees with everybody else on every issue, because if you don't agree in every detail you are shunned and shamed as a heretic or suspected enemy spy. Then you cannot have open discussion of anything except of discussing how much you hate people who don't think like you.

At this point, if someone is not using UBlock and Revanced, it is 100% their fault. Megacorps has very clearly told us that they want ever profits even if it destroys lives, our planet and our future.

Or paying for Premium. I do that to make sure the creators get something.

I have had premium on a family plan for almost as long as it has existed. It's great to add family members who use YouTube on their televisions giving them an ad-free experience without the shenanigans of setting up blockers at a network level.

I very much don't understand the opposition to paying for some of the services we use every day. I get not wanted to pay 15-20/month for something like Apple or Disney, if you only want to watch a single show/film. But people act like you are crazy for paying for YouTube or Twitch, meanwhile they lose countless hours experiencing the frustration of advertisements. It's common to find discussions online where people are both completely opposed to paying for YouTube, with no real justification for that position, and highly upset at having to watch ads. Same goes for Twitch, which is arguably worse as the ads interrupt live broadcasts.

I use adblock everywhere else, but I thoroughly enjoy not having to worry about it on the platforms I use the most. It's not a scam to pay for something you use and enjoy every day.

This is probably the type of ad you ran into: https://www.404media.co/deepfake-youtube-ads-of-celebrities-...

That's all BS. It works like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9ZK_NjBoJI

Just lazy training. The relaxing power of the golden shower. Enjoy.
