Probably not the place for it, but I’d be good with YouTube dying. And I’m someone who pays for YT Premium (gasp!).

Something will take it’s place, something better. I think about what it would take to scale to YT’s size from an infrastructure standpoint and the only thing close, I think, are porn sites.

How great would it be to have HubHomez by PornHub as a YT alternative. Need to work on the branding a bit but I don’t care about the platform. I’ll follow the creators to StreamyFling, a collaboration of xHamster and xvideos. Same infrastructure, different content.

C’mon porn sites. Do it. Do it.

As designed.

Can’t unsee. 💕

Preach! Looking at you, Nissan. Need a computer to change brake pads. Are you outta your goddamn mind?

I’m with you, but playing devil’s advocate… A hydraulic brake line can be damaged in an accident as well. Simple brakes with a proportioning valve or similar mechanism likey doubles your redundancy for most failures of downstream brake components but that’s not guaranteed.

It does say electric motors are a part of the system which could be like the electronic parking brakes in many modern cars. Maybe they default to a closed/braking condition if power is lost?

I will not be the one risking my life or my family’s life or the lives of other families to be an early adopter of this tech, but it could work with rigorous engineering and testing.

Time for bailouts and layoffs!

That’s US capitalism.

Prediction of how it will go:

• Ten days elapse and the response is some form of “because, nanner nanner”
• Judge issues order to clarify what that means, gives 10 days to reply
• Rinse, repeat until judge is removed for being a socialist or something

TLDW. Can someone give the TWO REASONS WHY DENTAL INSURANCE SUCKS YOUTUBE SHOCKED FACE.

This 1000x. You think that senior dev got to that level hoping one day all they’d have to do is evaluate randomly generated code? No! They want to create, build, design, integrate, share. Cut out the middle, useless step and get back to the work these professionals have dedicated their careers to.

How in the glorious fuck was this not a thing from the start? In a system this big and this critical all code should be reviewed by cognizant individuals. Anyone who thought an LLM would be perfect and not need code reviews has their heads so far up their asses they can see through their pee hole.

You don’t say?

Take. My. Money.

You’re my hero-of-the-day™ for putting quotes around AI. Thank you for all you do.

That’s why I love Lemmy. Here you have a higher chance of having nuanced and intelligent conversations with strangers than on any other social media. Written communication still has challenges with nuance and you’ll always have reactionary trolls, but far better odds here.

That’s why when I see posts like, “How do we get more users on the Fediverse? Grow or die!” I tend to chime in to keep their goddamn hands off the last place on the internet where these kinds of genuine interactions with strangers can happen.

That’s why “I can’t even” was invented. That’s “I can but don’t care enough to give the energy to do it.” Which still blames the circumstance but cites a personal choice that it demands too much of the individual.

First rule of Fediverse…

Pretty sure that’s their whole game. More projection, I guess. sigh

Art of the Deal. It has been a pattern since day one. The fact that it has destabilized modern western society be damned if he gets to feel like he has the upper hand.

This is pretty much how US politics already works. Trust me, all of us combined don’t have enough money.

Don’t you dare suggest FreeCAD.

I have a Hope/Hate relationship with FreeCAD. Sometimes I can get it to do something useful and I get hopeful. Then I try to do something simple and ruin the entire design and have to start from scratch and I curse the developers lineage for all of time. I want it to be great, and it is closer than it has ever been. But it isn’t a replacement for professional design suites.
