SkepticElliptic, to privacy in Looks like Facebook is following youtube with anti-adblock measures.

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.

SkepticElliptic, to technology in Peertube's moment might come soon

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?

SkepticElliptic, to android in Chrome finally lets you move the address bar to the bottom, but not on Android

It’s a quality of life improvement. You wouldn’t worry about the looks of a screwdriver if it’s better than your old one.

Illinois recent AWB has carveouts for police.

SkepticElliptic, to technology in Mastodon Is the Good One

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.

SkepticElliptic, to asklemmy in How do you feel about financing a genocide?

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.

SkepticElliptic, to asklemmy in What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could?

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.

SkepticElliptic, to chat in Why don't people get that AI copyright fuzzing is bad?

Why is it antiquated when we live in a world where you need to pay rent? And why pay for work when you can just digitally copy the work?

You wouldn’t download a house.

SkepticElliptic, to news in US student held in Dubai for weeks for tapping security officer’s arm

I don’t see how this is much different from u.s. police. You could easily be charged with “assaulting a police officer” in the u.s. if a cop wanted to be a jackass. You could get thrown in jail for months or years until it gets sorted out even if you are found not guilty.

SkepticElliptic, to diy in Vacuum Cleaner Over-heats and Cuts Out - Can I Fix It?

I would start by taking it apart and cleaning it. If there’s too much additional load from hair or whatever getting wrapped up in the roller then that would do it.
