Advertising is inherently immoral and it's our moral obligation to drive advertisers into bankruptcy. All advertisers are liars. Even when they're not directly saying untrue things, they're presenting a one-sided view of the truth, to the extent of being intentionally misleading. The harm done by these lies is incalculable. The distraction. The loss of self-esteem caused by ads always telling us we aren't enough, don…

> Advertising is inherently immoral and it's our moral obligation to drive advertisers into bankruptcy. I agree with this on principle, but in reality I wonder how we'll pay for content online if this were to happen. Micropayments will never be a thing, and subscriptions don't make sense for random one-off videos or articles.

> Micropayments will never be a thing

Why not?

I'd love to see something like "I donate xx CPU cycles upon viewing this content" or something. Computebis a resource, same with networking, and there's already a lot of them demanded by shitty ad platforms.

I'd much rather donate those cycles to BOINC or hell, even ETH over ads

I have a set of test questions I use to gauge how badly a LLM model has been lobotomized whenever a new one is released. This post made me finally realize that google search is really going away (compromise core mission due to invalid DMCA request? really??) and that I will have to start looking for new search engines. This of course means that I need a way to gauge prospective search engines. My first attempt: - Sea…

Is "zstd" a typo? Couldn't find any sources on it (unless we mean the compression standard), including Wikipedia.

I just installed the app. Thanks Google.

I installed in yesterday. It has some bugs that really drive me insane but otherwise it's great.

To be specific: In full screen mode it turns off the screen after a while and so far I could not find any setting that disables this behavior. The things I found on the internet where about dimming the screen and the suggested solutions against it did not work for me. It seems that is goes into "audiobook" / "listening" mode for some reason.

When I press the power button of my smartphone again the video player is a floating mini player.

Classic Streisand effect

Oh man, I'd never heard of NewPipe until now. I've literally had it installed for three minutes, and I am amazed. I was able to dial up a music video that I frequently listen to without ads, I could immediately background the app, and even turn off my screen while still listening.

I also just installed the app yesterday. I like it too but this "turn off the screen" thing happens when I watch videos in full screen too to me. I happily watch a video and suddenly the screen turns off while the audio is still on. Didn't find a way to solve that yet.

Right, but the DMCA is an American law. It's irrelevant in France.

The only countries where American law is irrelevant are Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Go anywhere else, and on closer examination you'll find that American law is in fact very relevant, with local governments often bending over backwards to accommodate US legal provisions. Copyright, financial regulation, and international travel are some of the areas where this is usually apparent, but far from the only ones…

Reciprocity is the term in play

Pretty much yeah. The US is quite strong at throwing its weight around its areas of influence to enforce laws favorable to their corporations, otherwise they put you on the naughty list (US Special 301 report) and you could start seeing trade restrictions come your way. It's how they managed to get RARBG taken down all they way in Bulgaria.
