if they were to actually ban it, it’s collectively good for our attention spans, But honestly it’s a quelling of free speech, and a monetary hit to the lowest incomes of America.

I think the differentiation is in who’s placing the ad.

There were sponsored ads before where a company reached out to Reddit and bought advertisements and read it took the money for them and posted them. They were labeled as sponsored.

But since the beginning of Reddit, advertising firms have just posted nearly blatant ads without notifying anyone.

Sounds to me like reddit’s just removing he sponsored indicator from their sponsored ad sales.

Oh not only will I say no I’ll go one further. I was looking for chef John’s recipe for chicken sausage potato onions but the one pot version. I was hoping to find the YouTube video for it but I couldn’t spell the weird name he gave it. It would only give me the baked version. I did a search and found the web page recipe for it.

In the web page it started auto-playing the video that I really wanted to see. It pissed me off and I stopped it because I didn’t feel like watching a thumbnail of it without comments or adequate controls. I did an inspect look up the embed ID and left to find it on peer tube.

Sometimes I want to video for something and just to shut my brain off and take it all in. Sometimes I’m looking for an exact piece of information and I just want to skim as little as possible collect the info and move along.

If I want one then they give me the other I’m not amused.

Which is kind of surprising after his incredible string of extremely smart moves over the past several years… /s

Quick everybody stand back! They’re MAD!

So go and be the change you want to see. Lemmy is not so big that you can’t make a difference.

Even if you don’t pretend it’s way down from where it used to be.

GPS signals are incredibly weak and super vulnerable to interference.

We all deserve the right not to be tracked.

The solution to this isn’t in GPS jamming the solution to this is in data collection laws. They should absolutely refuse to sell cars that don’t have the option to turn off cellular links and GPS tracking.

And on top of the tax breaks everyone’s talking about, they also don’t have to keep developers, community staff, or support on the payroll anymore.

If I wasn’t going to throw it away, I’d probably fill the handle completely with food grade silicone caulk and score the s*** out of the plastic plug before I forced it together.

But unless I had a damn good use for the rest of the tube of caulk there’s no good reason to burn a $10 tube of caulk for a $2 spatula.

And if you took the food away kids would still want to go there. If you took the entertainment away nobody’s going there for the pizza.

I’m not getting vice as a project on it :/

“They” (collectively large lobbying corporations) own the US government.

Tubular, it’s The same as new pipe plus sponsor block but it’s currently active.

Also if note keep an eye on value when selecting sizes. Rice and grains go down in price per weight drastically when you buy larger quantities. I buy extreme bulk for flour and rice. The flower lasts me months the rice lasts me years and I’m paying less than half as much for my rice and flour

I moved to a newpipe fork about a year ago. I stopped using their suggestions altogether. I’m not going to lie it was a couple of months before I was able to get used to it. I’ve come to believe that having YouTube on permanent autoplay based on their algorithmic calculations of what I’d want to see is not entirely healthy for me.

At current, once I’ve watched everything from my chosen creators for the day. That’s it I’m done, I go and find something more useful to do.

Now I see only the shows from my chosen creators,and if one of those guys recommends a different creator that they enjoy I’ll usually throw a follow in that direction. Very organic very much not in someone’s pocket. I’ve avoided TikTok like the plague. I think that, as much as possible, no companies financial statement should have a serious impact over my content consumption.

They’re algorithms are extremely accurate. The date of their collecting is pretty sweeping and the chances of China being able to access it as much higher. I don’t think honestly that that’s enough to shut it down but everybody needs aliens to go after.

Strategic alignment. Getting his taxes cut counts. Of course, could be some deeper conspiracy. I’m not so anto- conspiracy that I don’t think people aren’t making grand plans to install trump.

I personally don’t really mind TikTok. But the algorithm is a bit too addictive. The short form 30 second content consumption format is slowly eroding our attention span.

He kept the 70% he wanted, it’ll be a propaganda engine and communications platform for the right wing.
