hmmm …a balanced well thought reply…Thank you. I’d tend to agree with this analysis.

Yarrr lad.

You aren’t very bright are you.

So lets say they paywall the linux forum you’re interested in … What is your next step ?

With this from chrome, and Reddit going paywalls do you think we’ll see another spike in Lemmy traffic…i think it’s a safe bet.

Furiosa was an ok watch…nothing we havent seen before… meh.

I fucking hate reddit so DAMN much !

No …no it’s not it just isn’t. What this is a sensationalist headline trying to sow discord, despair, and defeat.

I understand the implication of a future where Trump or his like were in charge, but as dark as it looks I still think the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again. So what if he makes the Republican nomination it just confirms their lawless criminality.

In other words STOP with the crap attitudes that trump is “Inevitable” Shit… he’s not.

You have a choice A. Be a Chad who Dumps Chrome and chromium based browsers . or B. remain a whiny loser who has to deal with ads.

I only seem to barely notice the difference… At first i couldnt understand what everyone was talking about…but yeah its a small delay over what it used to be. Also it seems any bookmarked vids will no longer autoplay… you have to click play… is that a thing anyone else has to do ?

I tried Edge… and it seemed only a small bit faster to me, but it did autoplay. Are there any other anomalous strange effects google has done to youtube that i might have missed ?

Uninstall all google apps and CHROME… get Firefox…done. How many times will i have to say it before people start to understand.

Right…

Just seeing who responds with the most passionate cat rant and blocking them… you win !

cats are assholes, thats not up for debate.

To Be fair…

It’s shit like this that really just makes me want to start the Butlerian Jihad for real.

Of course, and That’s fine so long as it benefits everyone there equally. But Would you wager me the Saudi Government (or any goverment) is going to be that fair about it ?

Either way we have to wait and see where the Chinese developers take this to next.

Whether or not they can scale it is always a technical concern as to if its practical or not yes, but Scaling costs $, wheres that money going to come from if they find they can reasonably scale it…Hmmm?

It’s based in China, and I’m not even sure how goverment aided funding works there, or for that matter how even private funding would. My point is there are bound to be those who will interfere with or straight up deny funding for things like this because it conflicts with OTHER competing interests. It’s like all the two dozen articles we hear about rechargeable battery innovations only worse…we get a lot of the “oh thats cool, I sure hope that comes to pass”…“Thats neat good for those guys !” crowd who are always asking the same question years later if they ever do at all, that i ask up front… Where is this product…? Why am I not able to go out and purchase this marvelous thing to improve my life and the lives of those around me. I dont expect it yesterday, but it would be nice if we could ever see things like this actually become readily available soon after such praise and promising review, but they never do, and if they do they’re never affordable…because if it’s convenient it never is. If its that cool it’s usually a tool only the wealthy can ever afford or have access to.

But usually all talk of it seems to just fade away like no one ever even heard of it… This article disappears in time, and no updates are discussed ever again, but I’m never supposed to critically question anything…I’m supposed to have faith that it will all work out just like the tech bros envision it. The basic science and development i don’t have a problem with, but the absurd dogmatic pragmatism I do, and I’ve already explained to you why.

You underestimate the greed of the .01 % …my cynicism comes from seeing them getting their way the great majority of the time because money.

Interesting fact … the pride flag invented in 1978 by Gilbert Baker…Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon released in 1973. I like to remind the idiots that had a shit fit about Pink Floyds album cover being somehow linked to the pride flag how fucking stupid they are.
