Personally whenever I find videos I like on YouTube I will immediate send them into yt-dlp and save it locally to view after the fact. At this point the amount of advertising has become so pervasive that I’ve lost all care. This “monetizati

I think a better analogy to use would be a very slow loading app. Say your app takes 5 minutes to load the first page and 1 minute to switch between pages after that. Instead of blaming the developers, blame the users for expecting too much

Pray tell what you call it then: A company takes a game that had a very lively multiplayer community, replaces the game engine that was based on software that could run on any platform as long as it supported Java to .NET where the only pos

I'm part of that range (late millennial to gen-z) and I feel that lost hope. I don't speak for everyone in my cohort, but from my experience, I lost my hope when orange guy took the chair. Him and the people who follow him seem to

Violence because some Americans just cannot be trusted with public data. My biggest complaint about living in the US, being a natural born citizen, is that most people seem to make everything about themselves and this is partially the probl

I think that's the model everyone (eg: your average consumer) likes and is most familiar with. Advertisements on TV are tolerated because it's not targeted and just a random broadcast to everyone who might be interested. Anxiety t

Container escapes are a very real security threat that need to be taken seriously. Just like you wouldn't let all your users have a remote shell on your machines even if they are locked down. Just because they can't get anywhere d
