totally. and if scraped, they must be able to provide the source. I don’t care if it costs them money/compute time. They are allowed to grow with fake money after all

jeanma ,

if it dies, will he have to pay the debts ?

It is a good idea to post a TL;DW when posting a video link.

I have noticed that some users here don’t have time to watch videos. I think on most of the video links I share here, there are always users commenting that it is better to read an article than watching this video. To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying....

jeanma ,

Why do you think there’s always a comment summarizing video being little 'bailty, because it is a freaking waste of time. 5sec comment summarize a 12min! If summary is engaging, I would watch the video but most of the time, I don’t.

yes, sorry youtuber that you have invested 5000$ in this streamer gig and you copy-cat ikea-youtube-room

jeanma ,

paywall that finances both creation and the providing material.

Finance creation? It promotes lazy copycat contents. Even respectful (at least before their YouTube career) tech/artisan/DIYers etc are falling for the clickbait, the YouTube’s basic/teen humor… I pass on the tabloid stuff.

You want to make views. use these keywords:

  • Apple
  • I spent $$$ on …
  • AI

The thing is that platform is just a TV.
I guess content creators should also pay for their access on the platform, not just a cut on the revenue. it will enforce good/honest creation .

Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group (www.theguardian.com)

It uncovered eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi)....

jeanma ,

just pointing out that corrupt behavior doesn’t negate the science itself.

But when corruption doesn’t let the science happens? You know, in 2020.

jeanma ,

Don’t want to be pedantic but you don’t “own” children, you are parent.

jeanma ,

Any proof ?

I go regularly on Twitter/X, I still have to see suggested hate/nazi/whitethingy in my timeline. How people get exposed to this shit ?

jeanma ,

Do you realize there’s a difference between one or few “events” and a platform promoting it? There’s a fishy attempt to bind Musk to any right-wing/nazi shit.

jeanma ,

What gnome-bluetooth does that bluetooth-manager can’t? It’s just a button reorganization in GTK4.

jeanma ,

True.

jeanma ,

To be honest, those never really worked reliably. i don’t know where really lies the issue but loading a bunch of file and some file can freeze, make the app unresponsible that only a kill can resolve.
Is it a gstreamer issue? Rhythmbox has always looked bloated and never able to do what a simple audacious can do with the same file collection.

Regarding RHEL, they are pushing ITs to the cloud and not their own, I mean, I will do the necessary to not promote, support their products.

jeanma ,

I have think really really hard to find an event in the last 14years where I would have needed a water resistant phone. It doesn’t need to be IP67

jeanma ,

Industrial design is about tradeoffs

Nope, for battery removal, nope!
Are you going to say that pentalobe screws is also a trade-off.

Also, smartphone are just too thin and it’s because you use a case that you tend to forget about it.

jeanma ,

I take in account what has been done by the past in the last decade, a Samsung Note 4 (8cores, 4Gb, etc…) had its battery easily replaceable and it is not any bigger than an iPhone 14!

jeanma ,

I personally have been bringing my phone in the shower for years.

total valide use case. (hem!)

In my mind, in a shower, I use both hands and it doesn’t take more than 5min.

jeanma ,

I don’t say I would need it, but that’s not an excuse to not have replaceable battery. A so called waterproof sticker is $0.05. So, it could be sold with the new battery.

jeanma ,

where did you live the last 10years when battery were replaceable on highend smartphones?

jeanma ,

I am not fighting you, pal. I just want to avoid the argument “it’s not because you don’t need it that bla-bla”, of course, I prefer protection but we need to find the right tradeoff, Glueing case, removing and risking to break a glued expensive and serialized screen to reach the battery: nope

Sorry, but that’s an awful comparison, and it isn’t even true. The Note 4 was actually ~10% thicker than the base iphone 14,

You don’t get it, first 10% (actually ~6%) is pretty ridiculous and I took the biggest phone at the time that people were buying and using, actually I still have it. :) We could take the Note20, which is 0.830mm thick (0.785 for the 14 Pro Max and as big). Clearly, in this model, the backplate wouldn’t have needed to get glued, if +0.020mm is all it needs to get a removal plate, let’s got for it. I take extreme high-end smartphone as a ceilling, smartphone too big to my taste but which people buy and use.

*When I’m back from traveling, I will compare my wife’s iPhone Pro max and my Note4, to see if this one is unacceptable. :)

jeanma ,

that’s fine, pal :)

jeanma OP ,

I forgot to precise that Porco Rosso, Chihiro and other Miyazaki are actually available in the non family/kids profile, hence my little breakdown

jeanma ,

OP never said he/she commits such code but wants to iterate, test, explore.

Of course, unused var should not be part of a commit.

jeanma ,

it baffles me that people are still using Google Chrome.

jeanma ,

Adobe because Adobe tells them Firefox isn’t supported.

And why? It has nothing to do with Firefox. So here, You are not using Chrome for its pretending superiority, you use it because of sabotage.

Don’t get me wrong, you are totally free to do whatever you want, pal.

jeanma ,

Of course. Sure, AI image generated stuff are impressive but no way those companies could cover the operational, R&D cost if VC were not injecting shit load of fake money.]

jeanma ,

true, not AI but it’s doing a quite impressive job. Injecting fake money should not be allowed and these companies should generate sales. Especially in disrupting in some human field, even if it is a fad.

You can compete OK, but you use your own money and benefits to support your cost.

Yeah I know, something is called “investment”

New Anti-Consumer MacBook Pros - Teardown And Repair Assessment - Apple Silicon M1/M2 (youtu.be)

No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

jeanma ,

The issue is not so much Apple but the lack of real challenger. If only Sony didn’t give up on the PC market. I guess they bought in about tablets killing the conventional PC.

jeanma ,

and no royalties? $3000, would be few, even for only one professional writer.

jeanma ,

Couldn’t the massive fires (energy and compounds generated) exacerbate these values?

Don’t make me say what I didn’t say.

jeanma ,

Thank you, but I was talking about heat generated by the fires and compound build-up (eg: co2), while the last one might bring its effects later.

Just to be sure, I talk about these figures, not the global climate deregulation.

jeanma ,

They had long longevity cause you didn’t need a fucking client/gatekeeper (win only) to be allowed to use it, no DRM, was cross-platform from the beginning, was light, still light and the gameplay is simply awesome.

jeanma ,

So what? should you bring your “democracy” over there? It happens in Kuweit (8000km away) for a stupid american movie.

I am rather shocked by the amount of money this dump made, it gives quite an indication on the level of maturity of this f’d up society.

Yes I know, i’m uncool

jeanma ,

how long before our beautiful UE thinks about doing the same?

jeanma ,

UI is still a bit weird. I enjoy Lemmy but linking or getting back to the context of a comment is still not possible (on Firefox/Chrome)

jeanma ,

I know about the PinePhone Pro and I am quite experienced.
But even hardcore hairy dude like Drew Devault disavowed it (source).

jeanma ,

This is something typically American to be astonished by such thing or to talk about diversity all the freaking time.

jeanma ,

Russia at the center of a whole hell of a lot of the tension and strife that the world has gone through over the last few years. He is trying to destabilize the West in hundreds of different way

USA you mean?

jeanma ,

OK captain binary. Saying what I said does not imply that I support Russia.

jeanma ,

Since when is it a point?

jeanma ,

I could trade my WFH for a room with a view and a door. :) fuck openspace and flexdesks!

jeanma ,

jeez, using boomer at every sauces is so cringe. grow up, little fluid-anime keyboard warrior.

jeanma ,

Yes, people didn’t get my comment. We don’t have all the choice and luxury to work for a great company or good project. In old Europe, a 1 WFH was an ultimate privilege before COVID. Nowadays, It should be choice, I don’t mind coming 2 days a week but it to be a “mandatory minimal” 2 days is a bit ridiculous. Still, If I have my own or max 4 seats offices, I’ll be okay with it.

EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime (www.propublica.org)

The Environmental Protection Agency approved a component of boat fuel made from discarded plastic that the agency’s own risk formula determined was so hazardous, everyone exposed to the substance continually over a lifetime would be expected to develop cancer. Current and former EPA scientists said that threat level is unheard...

jeanma ,

what about pharmaceutics ? “oh no, they couldn’t, it is heavily regulated and it is science, b*tch!”

jeanma ,

I remember my internship at google 10y ago, with all the free perks, service to make you forget about chores, the cool attitude, etc…

jeanma ,

it took me 5s but I got it :) I never saw the movie though. However I really those two comedians.
