saigot , to technology in YouTube is dedicated to making itself worse; destroys SponsorBlock with ad injection changes

Not to be cynical, but how can you monetize peertube as a creator. Even if you are established enough to do in video sponsorships, your sponsors aren’t going to really accept views from peertube when they evaluate how much your worth. So it either does nothing or it sinks your career.

saigot , to asklemmy in What does the world think of India?

Yep and when they pay for better they tend to ship the engineer to their base of operations. Huge brain drain.

saigot , to asklemmy in What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?

I recently got to buy myself a new oven, and I got one of those double compartment ones for exactly that reason, and it’s awesome, especially for pizza.

Obviously I’m not suggesting you replace your oven just for that, but if anyone is in the market for one I highly recommend a double compartment oven

saigot , to asklemmy in Desk workers of Lemmy, what are your tips for appearing busy in the office even when you might not be?

I mostly wfh so not really a problem anynore. However, I had a trick from before covid. My companies av is trash, it scans any new files created with a single thread, there’s a exception for the directory we compile in (although it’s frequently failing and scanning anyway 🙄) but I keep a repo outside that directory for when I want make my compile take 6hours instead of 10minutes. I also have this as my screensaver

so why not rm -rf folder/.git/* then rm -r folder/*

saigot , to worldnews in YouTube testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers

You wouldn’t neccesarily need to pay attention to the master and all, probably easier to request the video twice from youtube, detect the bits that don’t change, skip timestamps around to only play those bits. Might have a bit of a failure rate if the same ad is served twice, and youtube could fight back by letting creators make slightly different video versions but still better than nothing.

saigot , (edited ) to asklemmy in Are niche pillows and cases worth it?

I have a buckwheat pillow. I find it extremely comfortable, it reduced my neck pain. It is hard, but molds to the shape of your neck in a very comfortable way. It doesnt get lumoy in the same way a traditional pillow does.I have replaced it once now, first set lasted about 2 years. I personally greatly value that it is renewable material. The up front is kinda high, but the cost to replace the stuffing is low. I think it’ll be comparable to a cheap regular pillow after one more replacement, which I think it’s definitely durable enough to get to I also bet im paying a but more for hulls than i needed if i was willing to shop around. It’s also cool cause you can clean the pillow itself quite easily by just emptying the hulls out. It stays cooler than a standard pillow.

For downsides, it is like sleeping on a beanbag. I’ve heard some say it’s “loud” in that your ear is pressed right up against it and you can hear the hulls(?) Move around if you move, nit a problem for me, but people with sensory issues beware. I found that the grain made a texture that overtime annoyed my cheek, but a second pillow case was enough to fix that problem for me. It’s quite heavy, I like this because it neans it moves less, but my wife finds it annoying.

I got one, had my wife get one after trying mine and I’m thinking of a gettibg a 3rd at some point. I got mine from comfy comfy and I would recommend their contour version as it seems to keep the hulls distributed more evenly than the standard.

saigot , (edited ) to asklemmy in What's the most damage a single action has done to your home?

the old owners of my home neglected to get the the eves-troughs fixed (they were shitty landlords), it cost me about 10K for the replacement which will last 20+yrs. the leaking water ruined every window frame in the house, and cost us about 50K to repair that damage. replacing those windows also like halved our heating/cooling bills (and made the upper floors comfortable to exist in). Luckily we got a nice interest free government loan because it’s greenifying our home.

they had all kinds of other landlord specials, like pouring concrete (not levelled right) down the basement drain and making the stairs to the attic out of plywood. fuck landlords. Did I mention they made over 400k on the appreciation of the house and were probably making 2-3K more per month than their mortgage from renting.

I always pronounce FFS in my head. I imagine it’s the person breathing out in frustration.

saigot , (edited ) to worldnews in Air Canada Boeing 777 flight #AC872 suffered engine fire on takeoff from Toronto

While dramatic, a single engine failing on a commercial flight is not really all that big of a deal, there is a reason they are built with a large amount of redundancy.

According to this the failure rate for the whole industry is about 1 every 375000 flight hours.

This is very back the napkin math, but there are roughly 100k commercial airline pilots in the usa alone, and about 3 pilots per plane. So if they are doing more than 9hours of flight each you’d except one of them to experience an engine failure.

I’m not saying Boeing doesn’t have some problems, the 737max should put some key decision makers in Jail, but these sorts of articles are just feeding into confirmation bias.

saigot , (edited ) to technology in What is Cara, the anti-AI social media app for artists?

They don’t appear to even have basic protections against ai. They didn’t even get rid of the context menu to download them, and the app shows up in google image search which means google has the thumbnails. It’s a losing battle, if you can see it so can ai, but they could at least but a few speed bumps.

saigot , to asklemmy in When was the last time you bought a paper map and why ?

I buy maps as art pieces, I would never use a map for navigating but I guess I rarely go somewhere remote enough that power is a concern.

saigot , (edited ) to linux in State of S3 - Your Laptop is no Laptop anymore

Nothing with a recent AMD gfx Card or APU will officially support S3, and I think Nvidia is the same. Just because it isn’t supported doesn’t mean they’ll intentionally break anything, but over time you’ll have more and more bugs related to it and one day it will break and never be fixed.

Personally I use S4 (hibernate) more or less exclusively.
