Youtube seems to regularly suggest old videos to me so I think it's less a problem with evergreen content and more that youtube pays for minutes watched so someone who does cheap reaction content can produce more minutes to watch than

Ads create a terribly perverse incentive to increase users viewing time on platforms. It's the whole reason most of the internet has become so horrible. My email provider doesn't try to drive up my engagement because they have no

It’ll get used to generate an endless stream of AI slop short form videos to captivate viewers to watch more ads.

I hope it leads to people going outside and talking face to face again.

The problem is everyone else’s kids is on social media. As a teenager I never had a Facebook account, but every other kid did and every event was organised and invites sent on Facebook. It could have been done over sms, email, or any other

World leaders pay attention to the world. Australia implemented the law and it went smoothly. So naturally other world leaders are going to see that as a green light that the general public is on board and the tech companies complied.

The optimism has faded after a decade of tech leaders all turning out to be unbelievably evil.

Of course, the social media sites were already fingerprinting you and guessing your age, gender, interests, etc for advertising.

Watching youtube wasn't banned. They just got banned from having an account and participating in the social features of youtube. As for how effective the ban was on getting kids off social media in general, I think it's a long pro

My problem with youtube is they mix everything in the same bucket. Kids watching educational content on the platform is obviously fine, but watching shorts for 3 hours isn't. Or worse, uploading shorts of their own. They need to break

I feel like this was all part of the plan, put the laws in knowing the weak tech will be bypassed, and then slowly improve the tech to the point it's too much of a pain to bypass and most teens just don't bother and instead use pl

Australian here, the under 16 ban was put in place early this year and I haven't ID verified for anything.

Maybe it's possible now. It wasn't back when I last used X. Now that Wayland is the default on most distros and works on nvidia now I don't see any reason to go back.

Windows is the result of having almost the entire market. There has been no reason for Microsoft to improve windows because it won't sell more licenses. They have already sold Windows to every person who will possibly buy it. So the on

Google still has search results but they mostly point to AI generated blog posts filled with adverts.

Also because programming is self contained in a computer where the results can be tested and iterated easily. For programming the agent can just run the compiler and tests and keep retrying until it works. If I wanted to for example sew a T

This + mixed refresh rate are the key selling points of Wayland.

Though it doesn't cost them anything of note to provide this other than maybe some lost sales to devs who would have bought it.

It's more likely we will move to a world where desktop OSs have a security model like ios/android so malicious software can't steal your data.

The AUR being hosted by the Arch project on the same domain gives an air of authority and reputation to it which is misleading.

In this case even if you skimmed it you likely would have missed it since the malicious change was adding a new dependency called "atomic-lockfile".

Everything in reality is animated. Nothing instantaneously snaps between two states. Which is why UX designers want to animate everything, it looks more natural for something to move from one place to the next rather than snap instantaneous

The difference with games is that they generally don't have motion blur, every frame is sharp like a photo, so at low framerates like 30 you can see a distracting judder from the series of low fps sharp frames which you don't see

What you have a reasonable expectation of is decided by society, not some unmoving law of physics. A country could very easily decide you do have the right to go outside without creeps recording you with spy glasses.

Sure, some people have no self awareness. In that case you can change your approach, if you are a manager or otherwise invested in the company you can put pressure on them to increase the quality of their work and to own the things they sub

Either that, or call them / walk up to their desk and pick a point from the wall of text and ask them to explain what they mean by it. Then watch them turn red as they have no idea what the message they sent to you means.

I wouldn’t say 3D printing is a misuse, even in this case, vacuum forming a tray insert is much faster, but I don’t have space for a vacuum former in my apartment but I can easily fit a 3D printer which is much more versatile.
