It's literally a system of patronage, so yes. That's what the patrons sign up for.

also essentially how many large news organizations have pivoted. $520/year for WSJ, $400/year for Bloomberg (excluding terminal-only news and other extras, of course), $390/year for NYT, $120/year for WaPo (with exclusions). For only $2,500 or so a year, you can have a balanced stream of news and journalism. -But not your household; you need to pay extra for family plans.

(or you can do what most people do)


I have no issues with mygov in firefox (on linux of all platforms). I don't even whitelist ublock origin on that domain. Check your other extensions.


Russia has elections, where people overwhelmingly vote for Putin..


So you are alleging that Reddit manipulates vote totals to affirm their biases? There's plenty wrong with Reddit, but I haven't seen any credible evidence that this is the case.


No, I'm saying nothing of the sort. Look at the context to which i replied.


That is not AI. The same voice narrates at least two years ago. Just scroll down in the channel's video list.


The description of the video states it is in fact AI:

> A synthesized text-to-video voiceover was used in the narration for this story.


Where does it say that? I can’t see it in the video description.


The second line. The video description for me says the following:

"HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - An incredible sight at the summit of Kilauea volcano on Saturday morning, as Episode 38 erupted enormous lava fountains across the caldera, destroying one of the webcams that was live streaming the event.

All images and video are courtesy the U.S. Geological Survey. A synthesized text-to-video voiceover was used in the narration for this story."


Nit: TrueNAS migrated away from Kubernetes in 2024.


Either:

I watch ten creators. I divide $10 per month between them evenly. They each get $1 per month.

Or:

I pay for YouTube premium. It costs $10 per month. I watch ten creators. The $10 goes to YouTube.

I make the following assumptions:

* YouTube only takes a portion of that $10

* YouTube divides the remaining money evenly across the creators I watch (10)

Each creator gets less than $1 per month

Which gives the creators more revenue?


> I watch ten creators. I divide $10 per month between them evenly. They each get $1 per month.

No, they don’t. How are you magically sending them this money? They all signed up for that method? And it doesn’t charge a minimum transfer fee?

You’re unserious.


By the same method I'll be alternatively sending to YouTube.

That's not the point and you know it.


The fucking start menu used to be an actual windows component that opened instantaneously. It's a web app now, sometimes taking seconds to open.

I also noticed a lot of the time windows just ignores me double clicking on things in file explorer, leaving me to sit there wondering if I have to do it again.


Now that we're ranting, I wonder what's up with the right-click context menu in Windows 11 on my machines. It literally takes a noticeable fraction of a second (in the order of several hundred ms) for the menu with fewer than ten items to appear. (The first time might take around a second, I'd suppose due to disk I/O. But subsequent clicks also have a noticeable delay.)

All the computers with Windows 11 that are available to me are fairly similar so I don't know if it's just these particular software/hardware setups. But it seems absurd that a device capable of billions of operations per second even on a single core somehow takes hundreds of milliseconds to display a few menu items.


Your clicks need a round-trip to Redmond so they can sign off on it. It's for the greater good you see.


On my 5 year old work laptop it was so bad it was nearly unusable. I found that disabling the shell extensions they used to implement the new file explorer UI helped a lot with that.


Only the Recommended section is react. The rest is WinUI.


> The fucking start menu used to be an actual windows component that opened instantaneously. It's a web app now

This is disgusting! Who even comes up with ideas like that?


intern supervised by copilot most likely.


That's a very, very expensive browser.


True and if there was a good dumb phone alternative I would prefer that probably.

I do however need to use some apps sometimes unfortunately. My bank for example implemented some proprietary 2fa method that I need to use an app for (or i buy a special device to it which also seems inconvenient).

Anyway it’s the only phone i ever bought; only used 2hand ones before and I’ll probably won’t buy another


This isn't a copyright issue. DMCA doesn't apply.


DMCA covers circumvention of protection measures.


That's Section 1201. The takedown bit is Section 512. They're two different things.

It's also not clear how an informational YouTube video would be either a circumvention tool or an act of circumvention if nothing in the video itself is infringing.


False DMCA claims are commonly used to take down videos like this.


And were not in this case.

> They don’t even attribute their quotes, and there is no screenshots I can see of these supposed notices either.

You'd see them, if you read the article. Look for the big image with the caption saying "Source:".

I should warn you that you'll have to make it through seven (7) sentences of text before you get there.

As a side note, not a single word of your comment just now is true. Did you think no one would notice?

It's the fourth sentence in the piece.

>Two weeks ago, Rich had posted a video on installing Windows 11 25H2 with a local account. YouTube removed it, saying that it was "encouraging dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death."

Stop embarrassing yourself.


Have you?


If they're just screwing things up, they're not learning from their mistakes. They already introduced the bot to the Spanish and Italian communities, with the same issues. To the roll it out further to the Japanese, and who knows who else, without fixing the issues is not speaking to their competence.


But if they had rolled-back the 2 languages and paused on the third, thr team behind this will have little to show during end of year reviews. So onwards the wheels turn, to show a large and growing rollout supporting millions of users across Europe and Asia in 2025
