YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% (mas.to)

YouTube Premium users across the globe are facing significant price hikes as Google increases subscription costs in over a dozen countries. This follows earlier price jumps in various regions, including the United States last summer. The latest increases vary by region, with some countries experiencing hikes between 30% to 50%....

Yeah I’m affected but will probably keep my subscription. Spotify has a shitty track record as well and the price difference is still worth it to enjoy ad free YouTube on the TV. I feel like it’s still a good value to be honest. But it also does suck to get squeezed.

There’s a bunch of electric garbage trucks in my city. My kid is obsessed with any heavy machinery these days so we were watching one and I got to talking to the driver. He told me that he absolutely loves them. They are easy to operate, they accelerate fast, they seem to break down less.
I have seen them accelerate, they go hard. And it’s just so fucking cool to have a big dump truck be silent?! I cannot get over how happy it makes me that they’re just chilling silently when they’re stopped. Makes my mornings more peaceful.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Most of the drivers of these are also waste collectors. He told me he appreciates that it’s less hassle to operate. No gear shifting, no noise, good acceleration, they feel more nimble.
I suppose range and accessible of charging ports in particular would be a concern for a long haul drivers but that’s not an issue if you have a relatively (range wise) tour through the city, and get back to and central hub every day.

How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy?

I have given up trying to find a girlfriend. Even though, I am outgoing, have hobbies (I dance, which is actually filled with women), go to parties, talk to plenty of women. But I keep hearing the same thing over and over again: “I am just not so into skinny guys.”...

Your last statement stands out to me. Have you considered that it’s the way you interact with whoever you’re interested in? Rather than your looks? Are you nervous, self-conscious, whatever? I’m asking because you keep insisting that your interested in individuals out of your league. That thought would make me nervous. And on the flip side self-consciousness or awkwardness or nervousness or whatever is not very attractive. Socially it’s more acceptable to rejected someone based on looks though.

Very big brain moment aktschualluy. The AI will start maintaining all the dropped projects! Right?!

pufferfisherpowder ,

Thank you!! I read the first article about it and was worried Google killed support for the cast protocol. But it’s literally a rebrand for a new product. Yes, they are discontinuing the 4k basic Chromecast but I guess it didn’t sell enough? I don’t expect any company to indefinitely offer a product because I seem to like it personally.

Not that I want to particularly defend Google, they do have track record of killing useful products. But this is not that.

The one with Google tv is an excellent ship for sailing the Black Sea. Get yourself a vpn, streamio, and realdebrid, and you’re set. Not that I would know

How you gonna take 3 weeks vacation when an iteration is 2?! And how you gonna expect any dev to do anything without a daily stand up??? You need to be more AGILE dude

pufferfisherpowder ,

I just started a corporate job a while ago and they still can’t really tell me what I’ll be doing. My onboarding plan suggests that in month 2-3 I’ll be ready to get into it. Like, dude, wtf?

pufferfisherpowder ,

Ha, yes! I’m also enjoying the second most important thing: the fat paycheck

pufferfisherpowder ,

Doubtful they can do that at the same altitudes as a helicopter though

OneDrive automatically backups folders in Windows 11 without users' permissions (windowsreport.com)

According to the latest reports, Windows 11 has made an independent choice by automatically turning on OneDrive folder backup for Desktop, Pictures, Documents, Music, and Video folders without your permission. This signifies that, whether you approve or not, everything is becoming coordinated with the cloud....

pufferfisherpowder ,

Funnily, or sadly enough, OneDrive integration is one of the things I miss from my windows days. It’s just extremely convenient how it’s integrated into explorer and office. And how well the smart/ on-demand sync works. I can’t find a setup to replicate this on Linux.

That being said I don’t intend to go back and this move is insane.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Thank you! I thought was going nuts. It’s been such a long time since I had think about whether something is synced or a way to set it up. With OneDrive I could just grab the files I needed from the cloud and push them off the drive if I needed space. It really took away any hassle about sync.

It really feels like moving to Linux is a step back 10 years when it comes to cloud storage.
I also tried nextcloud but the smart / on-demand/ virtual file system is experimental in the Linux client and doesn’t work as seemlesly as OneDrive. Besides being turned off every time I restart.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Thanks! I looked at it but I would like to stop giving money to MS. So my plan is to ultimately move away from OneDrive.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Yes, but I can’t get the virtual file system/on-demand sync to work properly. It turn off every time I reboot. I gave up after a while since it’s experimental for now anyway.

pufferfisherpowder ,

The client works fine, it’s just the virtual file system option that turns off after a reboot.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Yes, contradicting the claim that it’s “more objective”.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Lol Jesus would hate that, remember when he went to the Pharisees and went like

You guys fucking slay, LOVE IT

Moon wen? 🚀🚀🚀

pufferfisherpowder OP ,

It’s a shitty Synology Nas with extreme slow speeds. That’s only amplified by slow upload speeds when I’m not in my local network.

The main difference, and that’s also the difference to the way Gnome handles cloud storage like GDrive, is that I don’t want a network storage. I want integration into my file system, and I want automatic upload of what I’m working on. And I want the ability to say: this directory needs to be available offline. Without having to copy it from my nas to local storage and back again.

pufferfisherpowder OP ,

Excellent, I’ll have a look at it. Thank you!

Google has a deal with reddit as well. reuters.com/…/reddit-ai-content-licensing-deal-wi…

But I don’t think it’s just an issue with the dataset. It’s the false promise of these LLMs having a fucking clue what a good search result is and what is not. They don’t. They are just good at creating text that sounds plausible. That’s not what searching for factually correct information is about though.

pufferfisherpowder ,

While correct in the sense of word and versioning via mail being a nightmare, I really don’t think you can expect anyone to learn latex just so they can comment in your document. I would have offered to send a pdf. Shoot me.

Holy fuck I’m jealous

When the girls start to strut
You could look at their butt
You shouldn’t do that
The gyal dress is just as pretty
Not just there to cover her kitty

I do it with many drinks and then send before I sober up. You just have to pray that you never see that text again.

We need to tax the fuck out of the dIsRupTIve vultures called venture capitalists. The only disruption they cause is offering an existing service with extra little value returned to society and workers until the competition is dead. Then prices are raised and society gets squeezed a second time. It’s fucking disgusting. The raised tax on these fuckers can then be used for public transport, amongst other things.

So, no, we don’t get public transport from banning Uber doing this. But Uber wouldn’t do this (or exist) if the investors of this shit company would pay their fair share and if Uber had to follow proper labor laws.

Powertoys Run is really good as well, and developed by MS which is just en extra layer of absurdism considering how bad the start menu search is. I mapped powertoys Run to the windows key and have not looked at the start menu since, literally.

pufferfisherpowder ,

It’s such a slippery slope I think. Yes, we all have to change our behaviour. But what does it help if I do it when the market is not regulated in a way that discourages climate damaging behaviour?
It’s like, yeah, I can boycott Nestlé, and I do, but in the end they will push as far as legislation will let them. So my boycott is essentially meaningless beyond feeling good about myself. And it’s potentially even harmful in the sense that it shifts the responsibility for change unto the individual.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Bro such a great idea!! Like a long city in the dessert, like a line, bro, like this line right here, like it’ll totally, fucking climate change, like it’s the future, I swear, the most insane, just imagine the internet, in like, it’s a line, and, hear me out, it’s in the dessert, that’ll show that we don’t, like, it’s not just oil and patria-, bro like get the black AMEX r.e.a.d.y., I need the concierge service to deliver me some fucking Canadian lobster up this bitch right now,

Because if they were serious about negotiating they would give on some points, the same goes for the Israeli government. Tbh to me it seems like neither Hamas nor the Israeli government has any interest in a ceasefire or pause or whatever you want to call it. This ongoing conflict serves their individual power agendas well.

pufferfisherpowder ,

I don’t know, I’m not a political or diplomatic expert. But they took a bunch of hostages, made demands that they know will never be met by the Israeli government and won’t move away from them. On the other hand the Israeli government has been shitting on them for years, invaded their territory, makes impossible demands, and won’t move away from them either. Neither of them is right. But from the outside it doesn’t look like either party is really interested in a ceasefire.

Note my comment is not about which party is morally right. An issue I, by the way, don’t really feel equipped to give a definite answer to either. But suffice to say I don’t sympathise with the murder of civilians neither by the IDF nor by Hamas.

pufferfisherpowder ,

Are you giving out a license for all your posts? Are you following up on the usage or is it more of a symbolic act?

pufferfisherpowder ,

My Biology teacher put it pretty neatly: “Fungi are Fungi.”

pufferfisherpowder ,

Just use NeXtCloUD

The reality is that there is no real alternative to the office suite including outlook. That is a real problem but just using Linux is not the answer.

How do you like it better than chat gpt? Isn’t it the same thing?

You mean the worse they treat them the greater the greatness, right? Like Sparta, right bro?

How about crucifixion? Some fresh air might do you well!

pufferfisherpowder ,

That’s a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don’t want to deal with random people whining about it that’s their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.

pufferfisherpowder ,

It’s your prerogative to find them insufferable is what I meant to say. Your criticism and opinions are fair enough.

pufferfisherpowder ,

But it arguably lacks the physical response of a button. When in doubt you still have to look at the screen. If it has some kind of haptic feedback it might be the same.
