actually for big youtubers, ad revenue from google isn’t all that huge afaik. i’m going only on the LMG breakdown they did, but they only get 26% of their revenue from adsense… that’s no tiny share of course, but i wouldn’t call it completely catastrophic to loose

meanwhile if my US friends come to australia and try to tip i will angrily tell them where to shove it

tipping is a fucking scourge

yeah you can’t have a ballot that someone else can force you to keep to prove how you’ve voted… anonymous, individual, untraceable ballots are essential

though perhaps that’s could be mitigated if you could print as many ballots/receipts as you like so you can submit your real one and keep a fake one… then anyone with no care can keep their real one, and anyone being coerced can keep a fake one

i totally agree this is the way to do it: the machines can even keep tallys for early results reporting, but the paper ballots are the only thing that actually matters. that would make subverting the electronic systems useless. it’d also be a good sanity check on the count

consent doesn’t just mean “yes”… consent means informed consent… consent means non-coerced consent

my state in australia has recently implemented some fantastic new laws around consent, and have done a really good job of defining some very grey areas

https://www.respectvictoria.vic.gov.au/news/affirmative-consent

specifically the section about when someone can not consent is relevant here. it covers things like coercion, feeling like you can’t withdraw consent, abuse of authority (ie covers workplace sexual harassment), age, asleep/unconscious (regardless of previous consent), AND most importantly:

Despite what a person might like to hear, they haven’t received affirmative consent if:

…

• their partner cannot consent – including because of:
  • … being mistaken about the identity of any other person involved

and in case you think that’s too restrictive, the laws have widely been praised by the BDSM and kink communities - places where non-verbal consent is common… they cover a lot of ways people might consent, and also withdraw consent

the issue with identity is that she would not have consented if she knew all the details - facts which the man kept from her, knowing that if she knew she would likely not consent

and that’s key: to consent, you have to have all the information available at the time

The word Data was originally a plural word

and because of that its not “data is beautiful” it’s “data are beautiful”

i’d modify the CPU requirement and say you can sub that out for a 2nd hand cheap nvidia card if it’s easier

here’s the table of cards with nvenc: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

i’m running an old af xeon and added a $30 entry level GPU from years ago and it was a great upgrade

slightly wet your fingers and flick little drops of water into the oil for the same “fizzy” test for regular oil… it’s not enough water to be problematic, but plenty enough to give you a light to heavy fizz to tell you how hot the pan is

afaik onlyoffice has financial connections to russia, fyi

don’t forget the original comment though: unable to upgrade without reinstall, and glibc incompatibility

i’m not saying that changes the latter comment, but it’s certainly far from the experience for every single person every single time… windows is like macdonalds: it’s the same horrible thing every time but it’s consistent

a chroot is different, but it’s an easy way to get an idea of what docker is:

it also contains all the libraries and binaries that reference each other, such that if you call commands they use the structure of the chroot

this is far more relevant to a basic understanding of what docker does than explaining kernel namespaces. once you have the knowledge of “shipping around applications including dependencies”, then you can delve into isolation and other kinds of virtualisation

i’m actually super surprised australia makes the cut… AND is about 10% of the USA with like 7% of the population… our power grid is fucking disgusting for carbon (although i guess we’re only just above the USA in per capita emissions too so that makes sense i suppose)

imminent collapse is a fairly common theme among anything we’ve learned to engineer fairly well… if a bridge isn’t in imminent danger of collapse under its theoretical maximum loading, it used too much material and was thus over-built which means fewer bridges for people

if an economy isn’t in imminent danger of collapse then it’s resources aren’t being used efficiently and that means fewer luxuries - and bridges - for people

it requires a very large investment to run a node, but the fact that it’s possible means it’s open by necessity, which means we can bridge to mastodon etc

this means that it will be a lot easier for people to migrate, since they don’t have to give up their entire social network

imo it’s a good jumping off point: people clearly have problems with the mastodon “on ramp” and are having no issues with bsky, so imo it’s a step in the right direction and we can’t let perfect be the enemy of better

okay yeah - not a perfect analogy… the point is that their argument is more nuanced… it’s still a strawman, but useful to understand their argument to predict their next moves

they’re trying to argue that it’s like if you’re building a deck and mess up your permits, and the government knows and then waits until you’ve spent all the time and money finishing before telling you to rip it all down

i’ve never understood why there’s not a good option for using one of the plethora of server management tools with prebuilt helpers for workstations to mimic group policy

like the tools we have on linux to handle this are far, far more powerful

wow yes how was my spelling that wrong and can i blame auto correct?

it does not have that on apple tv, thus it does not have that on all platforms that i care about - in fact, that’s the main, if not only platform that i really care about

heck, it doesn’t have skip buttons on any platform: it places chapter markers, which is a great implementation!… if they also added metadata that showed a button overlay for “special” chapters like this as well updated and checked again - they do add buttons now, but still not on tvos

all of this is fine, and i’m sure they’ll get there but it’s disingenuous to say that everything is at feature parity with plex

that’s fine… but it’s not necessarily what it says. it’s ambiguous at best, but if they’d meant they need you to pay them for resources then theyd probably say it more outright

bad take, people are allows to have opinions that aren’t yours
