Word. It’s not hoarding it’s “yeah I’d pay $16 dollars for that one game and I’ll give a couple of others a go”. I didn’t just never get around to Kane and Lynch, I never had any interest in it.

My government, my company, my former university and even my former highschool have all identified “understanding consent” as a significant social problem worthy of significant spending on PSAs and education programmes.

But even as people are learning about how consent is like tea, they are being exposed every day to software and services that treat it as informed consent if you don’t dig into settings to disable something, don’t actively delete your account when they arbitrarily change their terms of service, or offer a “contract” with a piece of software you’ve already purchased that you can’t negotiate.

It shouldn’t need to be said but…you don’t get to skip getting informed consent just because it would be difficult or time consuming or annoying or expensive.

I love this. Is it with reference to anything specific? (Apart from Voyager and its inconsistency ofc)

Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features

In case you’re curious, the anti-feature is “tethered network services”, as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it’s progenitor and is planned to be fixed.

Bicycle bells are to make people aware of your presence, not to tell them to get out of the way.

I know cars suck. But you’re meant to cycle on the road

This is not true everywhere.

Automation meets ersatz automation

I’ll second the community sidebar search. Almost all of my searches are searching for something from a specific community. Old habits die hard and I always end up navigating to the community, then going to search and finding myself having to search for the community again first.

It wasn’t even blue on Windows 10, it was the accent color.

I use Waistline. It pulls food data from OpenFoodFacts and has support for meals and recipes as well, although I mostly track weight not nutrition.

Not where I am it doesn’t. No idea where OP is

(Still has chocolate on top though)

I don’t know if the changes coming into affect today have something different about replaceable batteries, but the 2027 replaceable battery requirement has this as the exemption:

Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning batteries and waste batteries

2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the following products incorporating portable batteries may be designed in such a way as to make the battery removable and replaceable only by independent professionals:

(a) appliances specifically designed to operate primarily in an environment that is regularly subject to splashing water, water streams or water immersion, and that are intended to be washable or rinseable;

(b) professional medical imaging and radiotherapy devices, as defined in Article 2, point (1), of Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and in vitro diagnostic medical devices, as defined in Article 2, point (2), of Regulation (EU) 2017/746.

The only thing there Apple could even pretend is “washable or rinsable”, and I’d be shocked* if they could get away with that.

*not that shocked

Just to be clear before I respond to the rest of this comment, my position is that Peertube solves the sustainability problem and in no way am I suggesting Peertube will replace YouTube

I do not expect the vast majority of channels to survive the end of YouTube, as is normal for any paradigm shift.

P2P is completely achievable using NAT Hole Punching. I have no clarity on if Peertube is doing this but since there’s already a trusted server involved it would be silly not to.

In a hypothetical, unlikely future where YouTube dies and people generally move to Peertube, I expect the majority of content creators to pay small fees to have instances host their videos. I expect small, free but restricted instances will continue to be the home for amateur videographers as they are today. The more technical folk will likely self host, and groups of like minded creators will pool efforts to run group specialist instances (not unlike Nebula).

Frankly the most likely scenario is YouTube dies and everyone starts posting videos to Instagram or Tiktok or something equivalently anti user.

Content creators. It’s hard to host everyone’s videos, and it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary, as it prevents new entrants. It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted). It becomes harder when you suddenly become popular, a situation which Peertube explicitly compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers, which scales with popularity.

Signal makes it’s own bed like YouTube by being a single centralised server for everyone. Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP

Not precisely what you’re after but https://sepiasearch.org/

Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.

The protocol was released in 2019. The LLM was released in 2024.

Monty Hall Problem, for those who know that name

Honestly I think this is a gap in the community.

They’re more project focussed but you could consider https://hackster.io/ or https://hackaday.io/.

Maybe consider cross posting this question to an open hardware community? Such as !libre_hardware@lemmy.ml

(And ping me if you find one, I’m collecting open hardware websites)
