I would make a toxic relationship joke but this shit is just not funny.

Titles like this are always funny to me.

According to our flawed understanding of the universe, the thing the universe just did should not happen.

There are always going to be more things we don’t know than we do. Discovered Cosmic phenomena that goes beyond our current knowledge should be an expectation.

It became downright personal for me. Its about accessibility.

My brain works a certain non typical way which is challenging to live with at best.

Sudden advertisements hits me like a physical punch in my face.

The ui focus on everything new rather then a nice subscription view with filters meant i who does not watch daily would frequently miss new uploads from the channels i do like.

I felt like i was in a toxic relationship being pushed to watch on their terms while openly hating that i protect myself from ad-sault by using blockers.

I realize i did not need things to be this way and am smart enough to build and alternative.

Now i have a yt-dlp script downloaded the latest uploads from chosen channels straight to jellyfin and also a selfhosted invidious with custom tweaks for everything i dont want to spend storage space on.

Basicly i take 100% of what i liked and never have to visit the website directly again.

They are waging war on invidious, it breaks on occasion. Yt-dlp though, stable as a rock.

I support palestinian action in minecraft.

Hatsune Miku supports the freedom of the people off Gaza.

I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible

It does not need to be. “Whole web” being a certain way almost implies it all follows the same standards from which point the people who set and develop those standards become the centralised authority.

I like to think of the internet as simply a carrier of digital information. This can be any information. My vpn tunnel is just as much a part of the whole as a public website.

The way i envision a positive evolution is that more people get involved in running their own network, for themselves, their family, their neighbourhood, a global community they are a part of.

They can use the activitypub protocol, a selfmade protocol or any other they want. The only thing that matters is that the people who need and use the digital information can use it.

The public internet dominated by large players will still exist but it will be (and actually already is) a small portion of everything we use the web for.

Traffic with complete misinformed expectations is generally undesirable. There have been reports of places getting lots of negative reviews because of this.

Pro gamer move here!

It can still be worse,

I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

Do you play Minecraft?

I have yet to watch it but i assume there is very little to connect with if you don’t?

Depending on how old your kids are and if you are not already playing, playing on a local server together is great family time and can provide situations for real bonding aswell as real world educational discussions.

Learning to properly configure pre existing drives with archinstall was an adventure on its own.

I thought CoPilot was just a rebagged ChatGPT anyway?

Hahaha. No. (Though your not Complety wrong)

Copilot relies on a few different llms and tries to pick the best one for the job cheapest microsoft thinks it can get away with.

I was given a paid copilot license for work and i used to have chatgpt pro before i moved to claude.

This “paid enterprise tier” is by far the dummest llm i have ever used. Worse then gpt 3.5

Tbf they don’t really claim that when you read the research, thats mostly media hype and ceo assholes spinning words.

Its good at lots specific tasks like rewriting emails and summarising gives text, short roleplay, boilerplate code. Some undiscovered uses.

Anthropic latest claims they would not hire their own ai because of how hard it failed at the test they give, They didnt do that expecting validation but to measure how far we are still off from ai doing meaningful full work.

Based on the headline this is not about blocking ai scrappers but by making them pay to do it.

Based on the discussion below which moved that goalpost the most likely answer is by making it cheaper to scrape “legally” then it costs to mimic millions of individual residential browsers with human users.

I don’t know how many aces cloudflare has up its sleep to detect secret ai but they definitely have the tools to make it pretty costly and difficult. There is also a broadband impact difference between a few capitalist megapigs scrapping secretly versus loads of global basement dwellers and smaller companies scrapping worry free.

What really grinds my ears:

Hyperlinks about alledged tools that are just links to another article about said tool.

For one by being family and friends supporting those that do have official roles in society. Like a grandma tanking care for grandkids. Or a disabled men always being there to cheer people on at the local sport field.

In another by having freedom to do what they find valuable for their communities, like creating a shared community garden, helping to organize free local events.

And even if they do decide to just sit on the coach and do absolutely fuck all and wait for others to prepare their food, which is scientificaly known to not be what anyone wants to do and cause depression, they still aint doing as much evil and damaging as Bezos is right this moment.

Go watch some star trek, it will help you understand.

Different context but the first time I heard about this it was touted as the future for VR

And the same goes for all the freeloading animals. They say there are species still left undiscovered in the rain forest, if that is true then surely the fact we dont know they exist means they are not contributing and don’t deserve those trees they live in that could provide real tangable profit. Getting rich by cutting them down that is real value /s

Seriously the notion you need to earn to live, especially in the context where that only means economic labor is toxic and the true negative.

I will remind you that “the economy” itself is increasingly negative towards society, destroying the future for a profit. And that people without jobs still provide plenty of positives if not, less negatives then “successfull” people like board directors and ceo

I knew it was a mistake to come in this thread.

You people are insane.

If your feed has lots of ai i would also recommend blocking some posters, though in my experience lemmy has way more anti ai and downvoting of annything ai then whatever is left of the mainstream networks.

Another recomendation is to join a smaller instance you align with, you will have a much better experience.

Yes we do go rather hard left. Especially when it comes to the only war that counts, the class war, ruling elites versus the exploited masses. Its part of what makes this place so refreshing because corporate media heavily dislikes the need for global change. Causing people that agree to flock here.

And yes you can easily get radicalized here, another thing which is refreshing is how up front and not secretive people are about the fact we do alot of self propaganda for our personal flavor of ideals. After all lemmy is not for children (suprisingly many older people) you have to form your own opinions and people tend to be (on average) more respectfull towards diversity in idealogy. You don’t get insta downvoted as much as you get honest replies of someone wanting to discuss it.

50?? I feel like this happened the day after turning 21, just like the hangovers i thought i could never get.
