Ilovethebomb,

Reddit makes something like a dollar fifty per user, per year. They’re not actually making a huge amount of money off their user base.

Ilovethebomb,

If it’s a community you’re passionate about, I don’t see the issue myself.

Ilovethebomb,

I think the actual story here is more interesting than the joke, to be honest. Where did this happen?

Ilovethebomb, (edited )

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Run_challenge

Are you sure about that second one?

Ilovethebomb,

😎

Speed limits are more like suggestions in the states anyway, this is just taking it to it’s logical extreme.

Ilovethebomb,

From my understanding, the movie is pretty close to what actually happened.

Ilovethebomb,

That just sounds exhausting, to be honest.

Ilovethebomb,

YouTube’s recommendations are actually pretty spot on, I’ve found.

Ilovethebomb,

Yep. If you’re getting recommended nazi stuff, you’ve been watching nazi stuff.

Ilovethebomb,

Who is going to be competing for the eyeballs of people who militantly refuse to watch ads? I’d love to see YouTube have competition, but I don’t think the demographic here is particularly valuable to anyone.

Ilovethebomb, (edited )

Get your kid their own account.

Ilovethebomb,

Yeah, but the manhole cover was in atmosphere at the time.

Ilovethebomb,

Kinda the point, isn’t it?

It must be interesting being one of Disney’s senior executives, and being married to one of the striking actors.

Ilovethebomb,

Yeah, because we don’t particularly fancy being lectured by teenagers on the Internet.

Ilovethebomb,

If I were wrong, you’d be able to convince me that I’m wrong. We can keep going until one of us accepts that we didn’t have an accurate understanding of reality.

I had an ex like you.

Ilovethebomb,

Yeah, this one annoys me no end. Especially as its used when workplace safety is concerned far too often.

Ilovethebomb,

I understand much of the technology we use today isn’t magic, but it may as well be with how much I understand about how it works.

I don’t think you quite grasp what Arthur C Clarke was going for with this one.

Ilovethebomb,

“think of how stupid the average person is, and then think half of them are dumber than that”

So heavily overused.

Ilovethebomb,

The people saying it aren’t usually in the half they think they are, either.

Ilovethebomb,

I don’t get it.

Ilovethebomb,

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C Clarke.

Ilovethebomb,

I massacred an entire music festival.

Oh wait, that was the other guys.

Ilovethebomb,

You know, there’s only one side to this conflict that has a written policy to exterminate the other.

Ilovethebomb,

Yes, very conclusive. Much evidence.

Ilovethebomb,

Sup.

Ilovethebomb,

“side hustle” is what people who don’t want to admit they have a second job call their second job.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

Ilovethebomb,

I’ve been paying for Premium for quite a long time, it’s good value if you use both Music and YouTube.

Or, you could complain on the Internet.

Ilovethebomb,

Fair enough, I don’t get why paying for just YouTube isn’t an option.

Ilovethebomb,

It’s spectacularly tone deaf to say anything positive about Hamas after they slaughtered civilians in cold blood.

Ilovethebomb,

You really think you said something clever there, don’t you?

Of course I’m not saying anything positive about Israel.

Ilovethebomb,

2001 absolutely is a boring film though. Impressive on a technical level, but very slow burning, and there is so much that they don’t bother to explain to the audience that the books actually cover, for example Hal’s reasons for going off the rails.

Ilovethebomb,

Having read the book some time before seeing the movie, I was pretty unimpressed with how much of the story was left out. Most notably the reasons behind Hal going off the rails.

My CO2 / Smoke Detector Scared a Year off my life today, and I have questions. Long.

I have a back bedroom with sealed windows, and it gets dry sometimes. It’s for a person with horrible allergies. This room is so clean you could eat off the floor so to speak. I run a humidifier set to 60% with distilled water for the person in there. When I checked on it last night to see if it needed to be filled, the...

Ilovethebomb,

I work with fire alarm systems, as others have said, smoke, steam, dust, and even insects inside the detection chamber will trigger a photoelectric smoke det.

Ilovethebomb,

Oh Jesus christ, are you really that far gone?

She’s where she is now largely because of talent and hard work, who cares if her parents were wealthy?

Get over it.

Ilovethebomb,

So? She’s one of the most successful musicians in history, of course she’s got some cash.

Ilovethebomb,

I don’t even listen to her music, I’m just sick of hearing people whingeing.

Ilovethebomb,

She’s not a billionaire.

Ilovethebomb,

She’s an extremely talented singer and songwriter, that’s how.

Ilovethebomb,

Do you know for sure she doesn’t?

Ilovethebomb,

She could be giving a large chunk of money to charity and still be worth that, for all you know.

Ilovethebomb,

What, exactly, is your point?

Ilovethebomb,

No, she’s really not that talented, she’s famous because her dad was rich.

You couldn’t make this shit up.

Ilovethebomb,

She’s the fast food of pop music.

There’s a good reason fast food is so popular.

Ilovethebomb,

You come across as a very bitter person, to be honest.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

Ilovethebomb,

I don’t think they’ll care or miss you, to be honest. It’s not like they’re making money off you.

Ilovethebomb,

Who would pay for data on a person you can’t advertise to?

Ilovethebomb,

How? How do they profit off someone who refuses to view ads?

Ilovethebomb,

No, but having a handful of people who will never see their ads devalues the whole package.
