Most places in the US at least have two ISPs at most so it would probably not pan out so well if they tried to do that

Yeah, it’s (3.5 and 4) good at writing code overall. I’ve had it write me entire programs (of smaller size) and mostly I just have to correct for library usage (because it’s built on outdated docs) or small things like explicit casting in a

The advent of competitors isn’t evidence? Why would they spend millions to build an entire YouTube competitor? I’m not sure how you can say “YouTube isn’t dying” and “LTT is worried about relying on YouTube” in the same breath. Linus was al

Yeah, that's a clearer way of saying it

I get a dopamine hit when I make money because of a hobby, but for me it just continues to "develop" until it stresses me out. I don't realize I have crossed the threshold from "fun" to "stressful" until w

Just like BMW tying the heated seats to a monthly subscription.

Eventually all three of those channels will wise up and move to another platform, if they haven't already.

They aren't missing anything either. Subconciously I thought that I needed to stay on top of things like the news, how the stock market is doing, whatever the latest tech hardware releases are, etc. but now, most of the time I forget t

And to be clear this is literally what happened to Netflix and I think YouTube and a few other sites in the pre-Net Neutrality days. Of course we don't have Net Neutrality anymore either, so presumably Google is paying ISPs not to th

It boggles my mind how technology has been advancing consistently through time until the last few years. Now we have feature flags in databases dictate whether we can use technology. There's no reason to block YouTube videos from playi

It's colloquial knowledge at this point that companies suck as much from consumers as possible, just look at the "inflation" narrative. Company had to raise prices due to "supply chain constraints/inflation" bu

Then I don't want to hear about dwindling YouTube revenue on their next earnings call...

Spotify Family is taking about $20/month from me, but everyone else offers a subpar experience (especially Apple Music).

man I hate to pull the "get a real job" quip but I would bet my life that most of those "creators" are going to end up getting a "real" job in the next few years. My sister makes a couple TikToks a month to rev

yeah I'm done with Linus Tech Tips videos for that reason. Knowing them, their Floatplane (YouTube/Twitch competitor) platform has the "after this segue... from our sponsor!" bits edited out. Like even they know YouTube

Gatekeeping a thread about YouTube/subscription services because I don't watch YouTube is asinine. I suppose ultimately I am arguing that $12/month isn't "cheap" because it's really "$12/month an

It’s cute that Google thinks we’re all going to pay for YouTube Premium/TV instead of just not watching YouTube. That’s where I’m at. I don’t watch anything on YouTube anymore, and like when Reddit got “smart” and drove me away, I’ve n

I think you have it reversed, a lot of fun things suck when they make you money.

I suppose so, but unlike Photoshop is there really a competitor/open source alternative?

I’d be more surprised if they didn’t make low effort feel-good posts on LinkedIn

My current boss is this way and it’s almost certainly to prevent competition/control the narrative to upper management and other teams/save his own ass. As a result, I usually don’t know who I’m building software for or how they’r

Yes, I just share the ./Downloads folder usually, sometimes the whole home folder, but if malware is truly a concern it’s safest to share a dedicated “Windows VM” folder for just those files.

I’ve always pirated AutoCAD and will continue to do so. I use it occasionally and just for hobby stuff, nothing commercial. So why would I pay out the ass for that? Same story with Photoshop. Ohhhh it might contain malware… I don’t really g

Things like this pop up relatively often but they never pick up steam and I am still using Nvidia GPUs. I would imagine this is no different.

Yeah I guess I should have clarified that I’m really just in a consumer scenario. I mean I don’t want data corruption but every article or blog post I have read about ZFS says you should use it with ECC RAM. I would love to use ECC RAM but

Man where do you get the Linux client? They pulled the download from their website. The PWA is ass.

I don’t see a compelling reason to use BtrFS or ZFS or XFS over EXT4. Is there one? Performance there doesn’t seem to be a clear/consistent winner, features like snapshots are overblown in my opinion (there’s no replacing regular backu

It's ironic that the pilot gave us one of the best characters: Q. You can bank on TNG Ferengi episodes being terrible, DS9 Ferengi episodes being fantastic, and any Q episode being good enough to watch more than once. Like some of them

That lends itself to the notion that they think writing software is akin to an assembly line, which is quite predictable by comparison. But we aren't writing the same thing over and over and over again. It's like they see the stak
