Hardware for smartphones have gotten so good that they can handle all of my core use-cases with ease: texting, web browsing, calling, maps, GPS, photography, etc. I don't need the most demanding specs to handle the latest video games a

Ah, yes. I see what you mean. Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I think we are on the same page.

Do you know if https://freetubeapp.io/ is any better? I do most of my viewing on desktop.

Wow, this is way better. Thanks. It makes me feel like I have restored a bit more control.

The latest Facebook [leaks]( https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039 ) by the WSJ has made it clear that these large social platforms have the intent and actively do shape public opinion. YouTube is n

In general I hate how YouTube is now filled with videos from high production studios. And most of these aren't even full-length episodes, but rather ~2 minute excerpts. I miss the old YouTube when most content was produced by individua

Here's an even better resource backed by an extensive body of research: https://bigthink.com/the-present/gender-stereotyped-toys/ , which is based on https://link.springer.com/article/10.1

Population density and terrain are important factors as well. Including those two other factors on top of size actually supports my argument further. The United States is significantly larger, less dense, and has a wider range of terrain&#x

Whenever it comes to comparisons between the United States and other countries of the world, it is best to keep in mind the difference in mass between the two. I put together this map to illustrate what I mean: https://thetruesiz

Ironically Switzerland is #1 on that list — a country with one of the most liberal policies on firearm ownership. This video shows what a typical store in Switzerland is like and what is available for purchase https://youtu.be&#x

There are graphics like [this]( https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2021/california-newsom-... ) that make it easy to tell how statistics weigh in various constituencies. Does anyone here know of a similar graph, b

A lot of systems block anything by default that isn't standard. For example, if you happen to own a domain to serve as your email that doesn't end in .com, .edu, .gov, then many systems will instantly invalidate you saying you don

This got me thinking that maybe one of the other big reasons for this is that the algorithms prioritize newer pages over older pages. This produces the problem where instead of covering a topic and refining it over time, the incentive is to

This reflects one of the greatest dissatisfaction I have with touring the United States, which is the ubiquity of franchises. I can tour cities across the country and I always see the same companies: Starbucks, Target, 7Eleven, Panda Expres

Good comparison. Reminds me of an analogy I like to make of today's web, which is it feels like browsing through a magazine store — full of top 10s, shallow wow-factoids, and baity material. I genuinely believe terrible results like th

Can we update the link to the official SpaceX channel? [This one]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pv01sSq44w ) is actually in high resolution unlike the one on CNBC.

True. There is nothing that would prevent a software company within Sweden, let's say, from opening a free Facebook competitor. Given the reality, such a law as I proposed would be seen as unfair from Facebook's perspective. In ma

Yup, which points out the fundamental problem: Facebook is a product of its incentives. Its incentive is to maximize engagement. Why? Because more engagement equates to more ad revenue. The externalities of this behavior do not align with w

The ubiquity of social media has made me more reserved with the embrace of new technologies. The promise of social media was that by having everyone in the world connected, it would develop increased understanding, compassion, and empathy f

Quick suggestion to whoever created the website. Please enable an ability to make the video comparisons full-screen-able. I can't gauge as well how good the quality actually is unless I can scale it up.

I wonder how this compares to the [Webex Desk Camera]( https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collaboration-endpoin... ) which seems to be in a similar price point.

I wish someone could make a YouTube 2011 clone. Maybe call it YouTube classic — of course this would be a trademark infringement, so it would have to be named something else. But seriously, if I can get YouTube 2011 back with its human cura
