YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users (www.404media.co)

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

Yawnder ,

Anything to justify your stance. The experience is better without ads, but people just don’t want to pay.

Yawnder ,

Make you pay for “what has historically been provided in exchange for a fee or advertisement for the past 17 years, one year after the service launched”.

You’ll do what you want of course, but that fake outrage and righteousness is just pitiful. Just stop pretending and own that you just don’t want to pay for it as long as you’ll be able to.

Yawnder ,

You pay for those because you can’t watch them for free without ads by using an extension or something like that. They’re not “convenient enough to bypass” for you.

Yawnder ,

Copium copium.

Yawnder ,

Or even a no contest (if allowed by the judge on a serious case like that.)

Yawnder ,

Yeah, it’s easy to dismiss manual jobs as “dumb stuff for non educated people”, but when we got off our high horses we realize we’re bigots and that they deserve any and all forms of respect.

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"

Money wins, every time. They’re not concerned with accidentally destroying humanity with an out-of-control and dangerous AI who has decided “humans are the problem.” (I mean, that’s a little sci-fi anyway, an AGI couldn’t “infect” the entire internet as it currently exists.)...

Yawnder ,

This is AskLemmy, not go on a rant and spread whatever narrative you feel spreading and add a question mark at the end.

Yawnder ,

So let’s advocate for the bigger of the two terrorist states to continue their terrorist actions until the smaller terrorist state surrenders!

Yawnder ,

So that argument was used as a reason to attack them the next day. What about the other 40 days since?

Yawnder OP ,

Haha. I know it breaches protocol, but I had to let you know I did get it.

Yawnder OP ,

Ya, I got sum there and included the frame and all without cropping. Sorry

Yawnder OP ,

“but she’s in Canada”

Only works for US teens though

T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-in (www.cnbc.com)

T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-in::T-Mobile has been sued again for failing to protect consumer data after an employee at one of its Washington stores stole nude images off of a customer’s phone.

Yawnder ,

That’s suspicious.
I have a theory…
Are you sure they weren’t hitting on you, placing nudes on the background and handing you their phone so they knew you had access to their phone number (during the transfer) so they were willing to pay the price of switching phone to get a callback?

I seriously can’t think of another reason than that to put nudes as a freaking background…

Israeli army executes an elderly Palestinian after using him in propaganda campaign about its ‘safe corridor’ in Gaza (euromedmonitor.org)

Geneva – The Israeli army’s execution of an elderly Palestinian after using him in a propaganda campaign promoting its “safe corridor” in Gaza was strongly condemned in a statement released by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor today....

Yawnder ,

But since Hamas attacked a music festival first it’s ok right?
Or maybe it’s ok because Hamas hides.in tunnels under an hospital?

I need to find a good reason to say it’s ok otherwise it means my government isn’t doing what it should…

Yawnder ,

Or you could act like a grown up and accept not having everything always?

If you’re on a budget, what’s wrong with subscribing for a month or two to a service, then switching to another for a few months, etc.?

Yawnder ,

You sure like to argue against arguments I didn’t make.

Yawnder ,

And you’re at it again!

I said what I said, and theirs is nothing vague about how you got to make choices in what you can and can’t have.

You’re the one starting to make vague statements about “submitting to their demands”, and comparing the poor to the CEO (which is totally beside any points…)

It’s quite simple: there are a billion ways to entertain yourself, some are cheaper and some are more expensive, some are worth your money and some aren’t.

These companies don’t “demand” anything. They’re offering a service for a price. If you’re unhappy about that, move on?

If you were talking about something with very few players, or in essential services, it would be a different discussion. Here we are talking about entertainment, so Netflix is in the same market as Wizards of the Coast, CD Projekt Red, Penguin Publishing, and a few hundred thousand others.

Yawnder ,

I’d be curious to see the process they decided which AI faces and which Real faces they presented. It might be in the paper, but I’m too lazy to read that when I’m 95% convinced I already know the answer.

Yawnder ,

I understand why you’re cautious in the “accusation” (don’t put too much weight on accusation, it’s just the idea I want to convey, not any malicious intent) but in this case, I am saying that cherry picking invalidates the findings, as they are stated.

If the findings were framed around “it’s easier to fool people using white AI generated faces”, or something similar, I’d be on board with it. The way it sounds right now is “AI generated faces don’t have all these artifacts 99% of the time” (I’m paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)

Yawnder ,

They used a clickbaity title, they’ll get clickbaity judgement.

It’s also not in their abstract, which is supposed.to contain the most important facts. Their first sentence is about how AI generated faces are indistinguishable. No, they’re not. It’s like saying “writing random numbers solves any numerical equation”, not mentioning that I took a gazillion random numbers and did my study on the ones that matched.

Yawnder ,

They would do that, but to make it realistic, they HAVE to make them for real.

Yawnder ,

There is an easy solution to that!

You could pay your taxes all year round so you’re not stuck with a large bill in April!

Oh, wait, you wanted to stop funding that? Nevermind then, the leaders of the two parties are happy about that…

Yawnder ,

Then they can just, you know, “not expose their child to that lifestyle” and stop forcing other people to do what their theocracy says?

Yawnder ,

Hahahahahahaha

You’re funny. Sure, there are no gays in wherever you’re from. Everyone claiming that has been proven factually wrong, but I’m sure your claim is the one that’s true…

Yawnder ,

Same.

Yawnder ,

See, guns don’t kill people, bullets do!

Yawnder ,

If it wasn’t for that pesky gravity meddling, this wouldn’t have happened!

Yawnder ,

FFS
Thanks

Yawnder ,

Build a wall all around the US please. We can then fill it with water.

Yawnder ,

If you can swim though, just take the slide in the Niagara falls and we’ll get you out!

Yawnder ,

So no speeding tickets, no health inspection, no mandatory safety procedures, etc.?

All of that is enforced through laws that originate from lawsuits.

Yawnder ,

So many people here are missing the nuance between providing/selling TO SOMEONE and performing SOMETHING.

No, if you’re a snow removal company you shouldn’t be able to say “not shoveling your driveway because [insert reason]”. No, a cook shouldn’t be able to deny serving a regular club sandwich on the same basis.

Yes, a tattoo artist should be able to refuse to tattoo something (not someone) for the reason they want (and they do). Yes a cake maker should be able to deny making a specific cake because of the specifics of that specific cake, but not because of who the cake is for.

Yawnder ,

“you shouldn’t be able to sue unless you are harmed” means there wouldn’t be ground for protective things. That’s what I mean.

You DUI? As long as this time you didn’t hit anyone, no fines / lawsuit?

Yawnder ,

I agree with what you’re saying at 95%. For the pictures for example, the photograph instructs their subjects “move a little closer”, “look this way”, "kiss lightly ", etc., etc.

If the photograph isn’t at ease with that, I’d argue they should be allowed to ensure not to be in a situation where they can’t render the proper service.

Yawnder ,

Humn… that’s a tough one tbh.

On one side I would say what the others are replying to you said, but on the other side I could see myself not wanting to dispense the drugs for an execution. (I know they’re not going through the pharmacy, but let’s pretend they did.)

I would be inclined to say it’s not “performative” and say they have to though.

Tough one.

Yawnder ,

I gave just one example, but there are others like copyrights, patents, etc., in which you sue without having damage.

Yawnder ,

I pretty much already stated all that. When it’s about performing some act, and where “what you don’t agree with” impacts the work being performed.

Something I would say is that any industry that has regulations preventing entry in the domain should forbid denying service. For example, a telecom company since you are limited in the bands you can use, etc.

I still think the best way to deal with discrimination like that is educating people (and shaming by their friends!) but it’s not something easy with how the different “pockets of similar mentality” often don’t mix.

Yawnder ,

Hypotheticals are quite a useful thing when exploring ideas. And yes, I’m quite satisfied with how I approached it since I tried to contribute in a positive way rather than just go around and write shit comments that don’t benefit anyone.

Yawnder ,

It’s all about opinions, hence the should.

Yawnder ,

Using extreme is actually a common way to test scenarios…

Yawnder ,

Yea, that’s a good example indeed. I did think of it because for me there is no moral contention there.

Yawnder ,

What a dumb request.

Yawnder ,

A family even!

Yawnder ,

Is that larger.or smaller than a large boulder the size of a small boulder?

Yawnder ,

Can confirm. I’ve seen a small studio abuse one of the sole dev that wasn’t an owner and ducking him so hard…

Yawnder ,

Fits with their sponsor’s habits!

Yawnder ,

I’m glad it went away sir!

Also, I would never laugh at you getting that, especially since welding is something quite useful for society, inline NFTs 😛
