Presumably it loads comments when you visit a page. That would send a request with the URL to whatever service they’re running.

Sounds to me like an extension that by design tracks every Web page you visit.

9 times out of 10 I prefer reading, but there’s some videos that are absolutely worth watching over reading. That said, I don’t really want to see talking heads. And I think people should include the channel/creator name in the title.

But as a reality check, I’m looking at the first page of this community and only see one YouTube link. Doesn’t really seem like a problem worthy of a rule.

Thanks for the info. For others curious, here’s a decent short intro to K3s.

Now I’m kind of wondering if this is light enough for integration tests.

So does this setup like a one-node kubernetes cluster on your local machine or something? I didn’t know that was possible.

You SWOT m8?

Basically just a pitch for Gemini. The problem with Gemini is that we could do all that now with the web. They’re just stripping features to enforce what they think the Web should be.

I kind of get it. I like the idea of a simplified protocol. No JS engines to be exploited. I like building small static sites and wish more people would.

But also, there’s a million reasons we moved away from plain rudimentary HTML and terminal browsers. Not least of which is interactivity and writability. You couldn’t create a Lemmy frontend, forum, or any kind of database UI using this protocol.

Shy of reading documentation like man pages, I don’t really see the value.

Never. I’d personally be afraid someone might take that seriously.

Though maybe that one’s cultural and said more casually where you’re from. I’ve heard it in TV shows, I guess.

Gotta be flamebait.

So where is the line drawn? What about the teens who want to lookup how to do an exercise correctly without getting injured?

From the article:

The platform will still allow 13- to 17-year-olds to view the videos, but its algorithms will not push young users down related content “rabbit holes” afterwards.

Libertarians about to get off on having gold mines in their garages.

Sure would be nice to have another Web engine.

It’s kind of bothersome how almost blind I am to them now. I habitually find a way to close them without having to read or focus my eyes on anything. That’s not to say it isn’t still an annoyance.

A flex outlet is a type of electrical socket that allows you to wire high-powered appliances straight into your walls. Boilers, water heaters, and other electrical unit that require a continuous power source, would be wired through a flex outlet. Flex outlets are often used in a situation where a plug socket would be difficult to access. Or with appliances that do not come with a 13A plug socket as standard.

Still not sure I really get why this exists, but okay.

That’s roughly the opposite of what the article says.

I think it’s equally true for product companies. Do you know how hard it is to get a company to prioritize bug fixing over feature work? Shy of a user revolt, or a friend of the CEO reporting an issue, bugs are almost always second priority or lower.

If we wanted to remove enough CO2 to get back to the preindustrial level of 280 ppm, it would take  2.39 x 10^20 joules of energy. For a reality check, that’s almost as much as the world’s total annual energy consumption (5.8 x 10^21 joules every year).

Isn’t that over an order of magnitude difference? What am I missing? How is that “almost as much”?
