Not if they track this server-side, then you just get banned or can't open any more videos after 3 videos, and won't have the message telling you why.

I don't do much except reading on mobile so can't comment from that perspective. On desktop youtube shorts is just toxic. I keep clicking the X to get rid of them but that only works for 30 days. I often just close my browser tab now if I scroll and see a row of shorts.

I want nothing to do with shorts. If a video isn't long just have it play in the regular video player. There's also no valid reason to encourage people to shoot vertical video, it hurts my brain. The absolute worst though is there being no volume control. Love having my ear drums wrecked if a short opens up.

It's some kind of bug. Half my subscriptions show that. I randomly unsub/resub now and then and sometimes it goes through. Either way it still works and the content shows up on my feed.

I think the end-goal should be that it doesn't matter. Choosing a social media app like reddit, lemmy, twitter, mastodon etc shouldn't matter any more than choosing a web browser. All the content should still be there regardless of which platform a user chooses to use to experience it.

There's definitely going to be a push for cloud gaming / cloud GPU + VDI, and with GPU pricing going the way nvidia is doing right now isn't going to help prevent adoption of that.

I guess that means more people switching to linux, assuming they eventually 100% phase out non-cloud. Not even because "cloud bad" - there will be some of that, but because of the sheer number of people who don't pay for windows, not paying for it isn't an option if they control it completely.

Both. Use imgur or whatever service you like to actually share so you don't have to worry about bandwidth and hosting. Just also keep a local copy of everything, doesn't need to be a beefy server. Just don't let a 3rd party online service be the only copy.

Ideally one that can't be opened from the inside. If only such a thing existed.

You mean that documentary "The Last of Us"?

As he finished saying this and exited the room did some shady guy hand him a burlap sack filled with money?

For the longest time tipping was very stable and nobody said much but with the covid-inspired tipping greed hopefully you're right. If enough people get pissed off maybe something will happen for tipping to be eliminated. I personally haven't sat down in a restaurant since the end of 2019, haven't done a food delivery since 2021, and that won't change until tipping is gone.

I mean you'd be able to make as many as you want just that it would be compatible everywhere.
