Bilb!

Fair enough! I do wish that invidious had the “full window” option.

Why not just use the invidious instance directly?

I wonder what percentage of views are done with a general purpose web browser vs. YouTube apps on phones and TVs. Otherwise, yeah, if you have a web browser it is an option. And since this thread is about browser extensions, I too am wondering what they meant.

Your anger (scorn?) is just completely misdirected.

Yeah, the condescending “erm you’re being childish and unrealistic! That’s not possible because we don’t want to do it sweaty”

Joe Biden has run for president so many times and had never really gotten close to being nominated because he sucks. For his entire career he has been one of the shittiest, most conservative, most bloodthirsty democrats who loved every project in which he could work with the good folks across the aisle. He finally got the gig (when he was losing his mental faculties) because the media, party, and cowardly electorate couldn’t stomach Bernie Sanders and nobody liked the rest of the field. (Harris didn’t even make it to the first primary elections.) A coordinated drop out and endorsement of Biden of everyone but Biden before super Tuesday sealed the deal. Some people associated Biden with fond memories of the Obama years, but nobody really thought he was an inspiring candidate. I’d bet if not for covid 19, Trump would not have lost.

But I’m supposed to pretend he was the next FDR or something because of some bare minimum infrastructure and industry bills. Give me a fucking break.

I wonder how the power usage of running an LLM locally compares to playing a modern game at high settings. Can they be very different?

I just ordered a shitload of little soldering projects for $1-4 to practice soldering and have been quite satisfied. The instructions are only in Chinese and minimal, but easy enough to translate with a phone camera and the lack of hand holding sorta encourages learning.

You’re reading an awful lot into a cheap joke.

I feel like there would just be another set of injectable autoimmune drugs they love to sell to everyone these days.

Ah yes, globally, but also in the US

Right, I’m imagining it as a service set up to be used if wanted/needed with no broad mandate. There are people running NSFW sites and channels that genuinely do not want minors interacting or accessing, and many would integrate this type of verification voluntarily if there was trust that it worked correctly and did not collect and distribute data about individuals. But I agree, that’s not what is on offer. So far from the UK it seems like they are letting private businesses figure it out.

And that kinda sucks, because that could actually be useful. For instance, you could set up a forum for people above the age of 40 or whatever while still letting everyone post pseudonymously. A third party public service that can blindly attest that a person is over a certain age could be a great and convenient thing. It’s difficult to imagine such a thing happening, though.

This is absolutely insane. Russia is NOT the root cause of anything bad happening in the United States. Pull your head out of your ass.

This edit ruins the point of the comic entirely.

Illegal content is already illegal.

I think it actually is more complicated. There are anti obscenity laws in the United States where these companies (Steam and Itch.io, but also Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal) are based. The way those laws have been applied have been mostly permissive in the recent past, but I think there’s reason to believe that this could change quickly. We may find ourselves in a situation where the highest court decides that this has all been illegal this whole time. Procedural and legal norms are feeling a bit shaky these days. People wonder why payment processors would bend over backwards on behalf of some group of aussie weirdos, but maybe being on their good side isn’t the concern. Maybe it’s that they’re trying to self regulate to get ahead of any government action. Collective Shout may just be highlighting to them the most risky instances, making it so that they have no plausible deniability with regards to the content they are processing payments for.

I completely get it. If I didn’t have a sense of humor about it I’d be miserable.

Furry by itself is largely no longer considered shocking and may even be getting close to mundane, but the thing to remember is that furry pornography can be and often is also in another kinky category at the same time. I think people who are into furry stuff (which includes myself, I’m not being judgemental either) may be more likely to be sexually “adventurous” in other ways as well.

Webassembly frameworks.

Blazor! But only because I’m a dotnet guy professionally.

Yew? I’m not good enough with Rust to have tried it.

Not develop their own hardware, but contract an established manufacturer to do it for them. Which is good, they have no business doing hardware!
