This seems like innately hostile behaviour. Not to other video creators, but to his audience. Stripping as much as he can using data and mathematics is the kind of thing engineers do to pull more out of a machine, not something you do when

The administration doesn't care about whether their motives appear palatable or not. Every decision is based on an ever increasing cascade of consequences they can dam up and then release on other people so said administration can go d

I've been using NoScript since 2016, and the number of things that get loaded in via Javascript has sextupled since then. This isn't an exaggeration, some websites like Wal-Mart's went from five extra domains to thirty. Going

The Wire was very good at showing the police as the villains, but it also instilled a lot of pessimism into the audience because said villains got away with damn near everything. Jimmy and Ellis probably sent more people to the hospital or

It's definitely. Notice how after the 1994 Crime Bill was put into effect you had a large wave of shows and movies that increasingly depicted police as tools of the state rather than as protectors of the public. The fact that police-ce

The thing that finally let it sink in that things were growing at an inconceivable rate was when I realized my chances of mistyping a URL and being lead to a blank page was in the thousandths of a percent. Between giant companies buying up

I can only speak for the U.S., but I know a lot of large instances where lobbying was a direct result or sibling of corruption. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Bosch all combined their efforts to kill grey market imports into the U.S. starting in 1

The original intended audience for Gundam was supposed to be college students if I remember correctly and not highschoolers. 1976 was the real start of when you had this massive wave of engineering finesse in Japan that overtook everything

Anybody who's had to look through files on multi-disc arrays knows exactly how weird the drive letters can get. Mount the ISOs of thirty six 8.5GB DVDs because someone thought it was a good idea to split zip a single archive into 7.99G

Windows 10 was spooky enough that I held on to Windows 7 as my work operating system until 2020. The constant telemetry, settings that would switch themselves back on a reboot without any indication, forced updates with forced reboots that

There's an issue of scale to it all, and interconnectivity. Back in '98 you could reasonably post something in one forum/BBS/IRC channel and it would only be viewed there. There was no way to look up who was on what webs

I don't remember if I'm paraphrasing it correctly, but "Words on paper don't stop boots on the ground." This is going to continue until there are actual physical consequences instead of abstract limitations of abstr

There are great channels that have had acceptable audience growth without resorting to bucket scraping like that. In fact the channels I see that have the most engagement and the most stable view numbers video to video are the ones specific

My father might've been onto something in my childhood then. He'd specifically kick me out of the house if he knew it was day I'd be inside playing videogames. Rainy day, snow day, school holiday, missed the bus, whatever the

I would do unsavory things to get a matching keyboard, mouse, and monitor in translucent plastic akin to an Atomic Purple Gameboy Color. I've tried retrofitting an iMac G3 multiple times, but they're so old now that taking them ap

Cinnamon is probably the best to use right now followed by XFCE because it uses XWayland by default. It provides nearly full use in both directions while still allowing both the new plugins and old widgets systems. It's also surprising

That's the biggest issue. The police aren't the correct solution, at least in their current form, but there are no other solutions. Is it worth it to unfairly limit one person's life in order to protect them and people around

There's a heavy need for rehabilitation shelters, but the public at large looks down on addicts and refuses to fund them. That leaves organizations like the Salvation Army to take up the slack, and the results can negligible. There&#x2

I can provide some, specifically the section on probation in [1] and "drug war logic" in [2], though it's not really something you need a source for. If you arrest someone it affects them for the rest of their life. Drug abus

The way that the game's instigating motivation is described, that "pick up and go" impatience, is exactly how Runescape used to be. Runescape had such a massive audience of children playing it because it was so stupidly simpl

One of the little tics I've noticed that helps weed out and LLM generated text is to CTRL+F and look for the word "therefor" in any of it. LLMs will use the word in a new sentence that isn't the conclusion of any previou

A large portion of the habitat loss I suspect isn't actually lawns, which have been decreasing in size as suburbs have been increasing in density. Many suburbs built since the 1990s are so tightly packed that you can't fit a car b

That's already happening. Roadsides aren't being cleaned up because the local DOTs aren't being paid enough. That leaves fallen rocks, mud buildup from floods, tree branches, and overgrown bushes very close to the roadway. Gr

Most of us are reticent to find some centralized place because usually those places get invaded by people trying to shill AI stuff, people spamming requests, scams, and a few toxic egos that try to push down anyone they see as competition.

The way I've been naming computers for about a decade now is formfactor, intent, and architecture. So you end up with SBC-MUSIC-ARM, TOWER-SERVER-INTEL, LAPTOP-TEMP-AMD, and so on and so forth. It's great so long as you don't

Tactile input is very very useful when you're piloting a complex piece of machinery at high speeds and need to keep split second awareness in all directions. Having turn signals be a pinkie flick for example is a major reduction in c
