Pihole hasn’t worked with YouTube in almost a decade. They changed their ad service to their own domain, so there isn’t any way to distinguish between an ad and a regular video on the domain level that pihole uses.

If you have a bunch of people guess how many M&M’s are in a jar you can average the guesses and you’ll come very close to the correct amount. A recommendation system can be very democratic in that way. When reddit still had their public API I would take advantage of this fact and use it to decide if something was a “deal” or not on PC parts. I was tracking the prices of computer ram at the time as an experiment. It worked very well. If they are federated properly, then their content can be filtered and appear on an instances front page.

You can’t borrow the money?

The RIAA tried to get the original YouTube dl taken down a few years ago. That is why it’s called YouTube dlp now.

Illinois recent AWB has carveouts for police.

I can definitely see certain brands doing well with their own forums. Sports teams would be a very good niche for hosting their own instances. Another one would be the entertainment industry. It’s just not feasible for companies that aren’t interesting to talk about. Like there won’t be a Coca-Cola instance worth a lot of users.

I think most people are qualified to say that killing is bad regardless of the reasons or intent. If the goal of Israel is to put a stop to Hamas attacks then they certainly aren’t going to get there by killing random Palestinians regardless. That is only going to create more people who hate Israel in the long run.

Israel is retaliating against civilians for an attack carried out by Hamas. This is what America did in Afghanistan after the attack on the world trade center in 2001. It was dumb and it’s dumb now.

It’s giving me Iraq war vibes, except my friends aren’t getting involved. The escalation doesn’t make sense at all unless you consider Netanyahu needed to distract from his aspirations of becoming a dictator.

“Metaverse” was the idea that you would use only Meta services instead of the wider Internet. Much like AOL and Yahoo tried back in the 90s and 00s.

The worst part about plastic bottles is the energy required to make them.

They go through a 2 stage process where the plastic is melted and injection molded into a “pre-form”

Then they get fed into a blowmolding machine where they are heated in different areas by many 2k watt halogen bulbs. Once they’ve been heated properly they go into the blow mold where they are pressurized with ~500psi air.

The molds are liquid cooled through an industrial pipe system with an extremely large refrigeration system. The energy required to run all of the equipment is insane. A factory can consume as much energy in one hour as a standard home will in an entire year.

This doesn’t include all of the energy required for moving materials around since performs can be made at one factory and shipped to another and empty bottles are often shipped to warehouses and then off to the plant where they will be filled, then warehoused then distributed etc.

My dad has a PhD and he’s on his third marriage. Do you think I should ask him life advise? He’s dumb as hell unless you need a complex math problem solved. However, he feels like he can punch above his weight when it comes to other issues. It’s like a pro football player who thinks they could compete in any Olympic sport because they’re good at football.

Marketplace became the defacto replacement for craigslist in my area 😔

I like the app and I’ve used it for over a decade. I absolutely hate the UI. It’s extremely confusing.

I just keep the player widget on my home screen, but everytime I go to search for podcasts or to unsubscribe from one it takes me a few minutes to figure out what to do to get there.

That’s unironically the point. Science should not be blindly trusted.

He’s the one that blew the whistle which made the whole thing blow up.
