  • Just in time as the "but you promised 1.5 degrees" sentence expires...

  • This is a bit of me-thing, but yeah, I'm annoyed that YouTube is the way it is. It's non-trivial to embed videos from there without violating the GDPR, so embedded videos are basically not a thing these days on general-purpose social media.

    And personally, I also want to avoid the tracking from clicking through to a YouTube video and Google encourages long-ass videos, so I always hesitate before clicking through. Also, people without ad blockers go through a completely different circle of hell before a video starts.

    Basically, I miss the days when memes could just be short videos. Where everyone could see on the embed that, oh, it's a 30 second video, I can watch that. And then they'd just click play, without leaving the page.

    I do understand that likely no one would care to provide the bandwidth for dumb meme videos on PeerTube either. But yeah, I just dream of that being a thing.

  • Your question might have been downvoted, because people (including me) read it the wrong way.

    I thought, you were saying people shouldn't be proud of being straight edge.

    And your reasoning:

    I feel like it includes a good amount of intolerance and judgement.

    ..., I thought, was supposed to say that you think people, who are straight edge, are themselves very intolerant and judgemental.

    Words can just be ambiguous, I guess.

  • Of course, yes. I'm just explaining why there's more political motivation to not be hit by a car than a motorcycle.

  • They do have a history of such things happening, yes, which is why my comment exists in the first place. Normally, I would assume this to just be the result of regular shitty management practices paired with regular shitty profit motives.

    The history makes it look like they might genuinely have a higher motive here, and I'm saying I still don't think so, because it would be far too petty and I don't see them benefitting that much from it.

  • The English pronunciation of Hercules is effectively the same as the German pronuncation.

    Important for the joke is that the normal pronunciation for molecules differs, even though it also ends on -cules...

  • They were trying to show the hero-like pronunciation applied. Think of e.g. Hercules.

  • A motorcycle has a higher chance of killing its rider rather than bystanders, when compared to cars.

  • Most of it?

  • I'm not exactly fond of the space either, but man, the T is noisy. They could've gone with an underscore or something, so it actually looks like two different sections.

  • Well, typically, being married for 60 years would also involve not dying for the past 70+ years...

  • Google is blocking popular instances these days, so yeah, you basically need to find an unpopular instance, which usually means it's new and may not live for long, or it will quickly become popular, because it works, which will cause Google to block it.

  • Yeah, Google started blocking popular instances of Invidious and Piped in May this year: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3822

    Every so often, it may start working again when those instances get a different IP address, but it usually doesn't last more than a few days...

  • The thing is, I really don't think, Google would care about Firefox. Firefox is sitting at negligible percentages of usage share. The only real competitor to Chrome is Safari and that's because of iOS.I guess, they might impact Safari on macOS with this, but someone would have to try this out to actually see, and ultimately, this could still just be a dumb mistake.

    Having said that, Google holds a near-monopoly in both video content and web browsers. They have a special duty to not disadvantage competitors and even if this was an honest mistake, I do think, it deserves a slap on the wrist.

  • Das ist nicht so doof wie du vermutlich denkst, also dass die Leute von den Schweizer Alpen träumen würden.

    Der Wortstamm ist hier "Alb", ein geisterhaftes Wesen aus dem Germanischen Volksglauben, und das wurde im Mittelhochdeutschen "Alp" geschrieben. Daher kommt auch "Elb" und (als Reimport vom Englischen) "Elf".

    Also wenn du statt bergigen Landschaften eher Flüße oder Zahlen gruselig findest, dann könntest auch einen Elbtraum oder Elftraum haben.

  • I just don't care to put substances in my body that are effectively toxic. If you think, being high at all times is the best way to live life, then more power to you.

    Really, it's annoying that people think we're judgemental. I'm guessing, lots of folks judge themselves for it, but as long as everyone else does the drugs, they aren't confronted with that.As soon as I dare to exist, not putting toxic substances into my body, they'll feel judged, because I'm adhering to their moral standard of not doing drugs, effectively reminding them that it would be doable.

    If I come up with some bullshit reasoning, like I'm the designated driver, rather than the truth that I just don't want it, they'll feel more at ease. Although, I guess, that would also be the case, if they truly thought I was actively judging them.

  • I don't think, there's currently any plans to introduce a non-JS API for accessing the DOM. It would just take an insane amount of implementation work + documentation.

    But frameworks can generate access code for you, so you don't actually need to write any JS yourself. Rust is quite far ahead in this regard, thanks to the wasm-bindgen library.
