YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
  • Google constantly puts Youtube ads at the top of searches for information! Countless people put their information on Youtube in the form of videos! Tutorials get put on Youtube as a matter of course! There's a trove of old media on Youtube that can't be accessed any other way! Congratulations, you've won the award for the most thoughtlessly dismissive person on the internet today.

  • Incognito
    Humiliating New Polls Spell Doom for J.D. Vance ... and Trump
  • The Vice President can't do that without "a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide" on their side. That can't happen without either the aid of people that Trump would have to select (and he's notorious for picking toadies) or Congress passing a bill to create a body to evict him.

  • Be a friend
  • There are people like this all around us, an invisible sea through which we swim unknowingly. Sorrow is the human condition, but we don't see it because most people don't communicate it.

  • Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch?
  • While the "recent troubles" put energy to my leaving, I have always been uncomfortable with Reddit, Twitter, Discord, Stack Overflow, Quora and Fandom, as corporate-owned repositories who work by, in one way or other, profiting off of freely contributed work.

    It used to be that if someone wanted to help people with freely-given information, they'd offer it in a forum, on Usenet, or on a website they started and hosted themselves, or if it fit in there, put it on Wikipedia. Now, people add it to a freaking pile that corporations monetize. Don't just hand them value! Put it somewhere that won't beg you to install an app, or beg you to "upgrade" to "Nitro," or force you to watch intrusive ads, or force people to create an account to see it, or track you! Your volunteer labor should not be a profit center!

  • Donald Trump Suffers Triple Polling Blow in Battleground States
  • I understand this impulse. It is popular to demonize people on the other side, and truthfully, their voting for Trump in the past is a severe issue. They once in a while ask me for computer help, but this whole matter has made me reluctant to do it.

    I'm not going to call them good people because voting for Trump has identified them as not being among those. But in some ways they're decent? They don't think they're evil. They don't stab people in the back personally. They work hard. They're honest face-to-face. it's mostly on the national stage that their odious beliefs are brought out.

    There are lots of people like that here. I feel like, if they can be brought to see, viscerally, what the effects of their political decisions are, that could be the breaking point that changes their political beliefs. January 6th might have been one such event.
