InternetTubes , to mildlyinfuriating in Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...

What I really hate about shorts is the lack of video controls? Do you really have to remove them, Google? Then there’s the looping videos that are cute when you first see them then get old and add nothing fast.

bloopinator ,

It’s all intentional. They know that overall it increases engagement and that’s all they care about.

Even Instagram and Tiktok let people fast forward videos. YouTube needs to get their shit together.

cantstopthesignal ,

The zombie clicker demographic is their best customer/product

d6GeZtyi ,

You can use the regular Youtube interface for shorts, I do it everytime I open one:

  1. go to a short video
  2. replace the /shorts/ part of the URL by /v/
  3. ??? (trigger warning: old meme)
  4. Profit

Oh dear. I still see a screenful of normal videos before that batch. Hopefully it remains like so for me. I wonder if free users see ads on that page as well.

Malwarebytes once again proving that its the best endpoint scanner.

Brave is security theatre and a grift.

atyaz , to lemmyshitpost in Every bell curve meme

I remember needing to understand some math concept for some reason so I googled it and clicked on the Wikipedia link. When I realized I was too stupid for that I went back and clicked on the “math is fun” link. It explained it perfectly. Thank you math is fun.

henfredemars ,

Next time try Simple English Wikipedia. It’s really great for explaining things where the full version is still too much.

For example, try their article on quantum physics.

IDatedSuccubi ,

Wikipedia is really bad at explaining things, it’s written in a way that you have to deeply know all of the surrounding topics to understand what is going on

I used to think that it’s too hard to set up a suspension on a car because the Wikipedia pages are all weird and undescriptive, but it turns out it’s very simple for something like a double wishbone, there are even visual calculators out there

glassware OP ,

I hear you with this, I’ve ended up doing a distance learning Maths degree just so I can understand all the Wikipedia squiggles

Check out Piped, Invidious, Newpipe and Libretube! ;)

I’m gonna look into getting some PC client. I already have Revanced, Libretube and Newpipe on my phone.

Gamey ,

If you are okay with a website Piped or Invidious could do the trick

Meanwhile, in England, it’s been 18-20 degrees for the entirety of July so far

lightswitchr ,

It’s been fantastic. Last year’s heat was so draining.

Gabtraf ,

News on the TV all about this European heatwave, yet it was raining here a few hours ago.

Rivers ,
@Rivers@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah and this time last year it was a furnace. I honestly feel sorry for mainland europe inhabitants, I was dreading this summer, my pets nearly died last year.

Blackmist ,

I know, it’s fucking lovely.

Meowoem ,

I keep seeing people say UK is going to get an August heatwave lasting long into September, if the planets going to lose the ability to host life due to our own greed and opulence we might as well enjoy the fleeting trip through the window of enjoyable weather…

Mate, do you understand what a global average is?

Imagine if someone said, the average age of people on Lemmy is 22 and you were like huh I’m 12. Yeah, it’s an average, it has a range

Rivers ,
@Rivers@feddit.uk avatar

I’m failing to see your point in reference to what I originally commented. last year to the day it was a new record of 40.3°, today it was 19° I was pointing out the stark difference in comparison to what Europe is currently experiencing and to what we experienced last year.

red ,

What you are pointing out has no relevance to the topic at hand.

foo ,

It’s an irrelevant point in the discussion. Yes, it’s a range.

I generally only use the Android client. But if there’s any similarity, there’s no way to stop them spamming you with their shorts.

Fran Drescher is president of SAG-AFTRA and leading the strike against, amongst other things, studios wanting to use AI to replace actors and writers.

state_electrician ,

Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she’s the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn’t been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she’s been really active behind the scenes.

captainlezbian ,

Yeah a lot of people mostly recognize her for her very distinctive voice and it’s not what you’d expect for a union president who’s going to strike

LeafyBirch ,

It's not her real voice. She got recognized for it, but her actual voice is very regular.

fuck yeah! that was awesome! great speech!

spacedancer ,

I can still hear the nasality in her voice, but yeah she hammed it up for The Nanny. Great speech too.

thesprongler ,

She’s from Flushing, NY, so that’s just kind of a regional accent. Definitely played up on The Nanny.

clutchmatic ,

I knew this would be that video before I clicked on it… In the context of that show, this was so, so funny

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

She also used that voice in UHF, 4 years before The Nanny.

I really think this is a much better and longer example of her real voice

The other comment link showcases her ability to turn it off and on in a funny way but the above is relevant to the strike.
