Nah, the US govt is actually usually pretty good these days about solid infrastructure, website designs, security practices, etc. It is unknown why this particular website (if it ever existed?) got hugged to death, but much of the Governmen

The fact that I had to read this far in to determine that a) this is an EU law (I think?) and b) still have no idea what this (proposed?) law is/does is frustrating to me. This link could have used some context. I don't have an is

As much as I dislike the current AI hype, a local on-machine AI model that can read/interpret videos/thousands of images (basically a recording of screen time combined with video/audio/handwriting of my everyday life), s

I get it at half price ($5.99/mo, no yearly sub), and between my spending at Amazon dropping by 90%, rarely ever watching prime video, and the price increases, I can't even justify it at that rate. I'm sure most will stay sub

I came to this thread WITHOUT reading the article because I figured they were going to try classify "people with disabilities" as singular.

I have a 10gb connection and I still see that. Browsers, despite being excellently threaded, are also poorly threaded. Who knew?

I could not get the links to load. "Americans"? Are Canadians included? (They are part of "America" being half of the North American continent and weed is legal there) Including Canada probably skews the results. Also a

For movies, this is mostly a solved problem. If I buy a movie on iTunes, I can access it on other participating platforms.

You don’t consider vendor lock-in to be outlandish? Particularly when it is trivial to support much more? (literally just changing a setting)

You are aware that iPhones have many alternative messaging apps right? The second part of your comment is simply not true.

I am surprised nobody has thought about looking into page content itself to help fight spam. If a blog has nothing except paid affiliate links (Amazon, etc.), ads, popups after page loads (news letter signups, etc) then it should probably b

Admittedly, I haven't clicked on the link, but you appear to have avoided their question altogether. You offer product demos. Those demos source data from something, be it a JSON file, REST API, etc. Where is the demo data sourced from

Ooh, sorry, but I have to chime in on this. Percentage based pricing is the norm for any transaction for any amount. 30-50% is typically the retailers take. This also applies to claimed "low margin" PC hardware, games, etc. Manufa

Well, Netflix DOES control how you view video in your browser, however. Open a video in Firefox? No 4K for you. Hardware DRM is also used. Don’t have an HDCP-enabled display/GPU/Driver? Low bitrate welcomes you.

That revenue drop isn’t necessarily correlated with adblockers. Across my sites, adblockers have only been present in 20-30%. Ad engagement little changed. Only CPC/RPM has fallen. My data goes back to 2012 or so. Advertisers are payin

The internet predates advertising, and Google advertising use to be sane. Don’t tell me what to do with packets on my network, either. If you want to use a broken business model that is on you.

perfection is subjective IMO. I quit reddit when Apollo died. I use Lemmy, but no longer find myself getting sucked into a doomscrolling vacuum. For me, Lemmy IS the perfect replacement because I use it less.

The issue with YouTube isn’t the ads, it is the number and length of ads combined with a monthly premium option that is far too expensive for what it offers. You may make the argument that YouTube includes music, but the quality and capabil
