The idea of them is incredible. I grew up watching sci fi galore with holographic AI personal assistants, and AR glasses, and 3D printers, etc. The idea of these technologies is amazing.

The reality of them is a little different. It’s hard to get behind certain advancements when they are completely in the control of a handful of people on Earth who have more wealth than everyone else combined. It’s impossible to ethically endorse these projects when the companies responsible have time and again proven themselves to be untrustworthy. And I mean, you shouldn’t trust them with your name and age, let alone videos and pictures of you—and strangers!—naked in a doctor’s office.

The technology and the possibilities are awesome and awe inspiring. The society we live in is not ready for them. Hell, much of the world still hasn’t caught up with how to adequately regulate and legislate for the internet revolution that happened over thirty years ago, nevermind for smart glasses that can always be recording.

I don’t really have an interest in running a public board, and the reason I use(d) that subreddit was because I am also not interested in looking for the deals myself.

However, from another comment, redlib looks like a decent solution for the time being.

There’s zero reason to go to reddit intentionally

Know of a viable replacement for r/bapcsalescanada?

Really neat of you to do and to share, thanks. Not to sound ungrateful, but honest question… What good are these numbers if they are the floor?

Edited to add: filthy clanker.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

||reddit.com^$header=referer:

No bueno here, it just redirected me to a blank page. Still couldn’t use old reddit.

Would love to have a viable alternative to r/bapcsalescanada on Piefed.

I mean, I guess I’m not informed enough to know. I just know that this one has a GUI, and certain automation functions. I got it all set up and now I don’t even have to think about it, it just downloads my desired YT vids, which then get scanned by Jellyfin and show up there, which is what OP wanted. 🤷

I’ve been using YouTube-DL

From the article:

Hate, unfortunately, sells. Right-wing extremism researcher Kaz Ross told ABC that Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”

It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues.

Americans would rather have thought crime and mass surveillance than give up their guns, because they need those guns to combat a tyrant or fascist.

So anyway, how’s USA’s government going these days? Surely not fascist or tyrannical with all those guns around, right?

Right?

“It is a one time fee that you pay annually.” One of the best Portlandia skits.

Note about the network: it really doesn’t matter how fast your server can go if the rest of the stuff connected to it can’t also handle it.

You have a server with a 10 gigabit network port, you also need the cabling, router, switches, and other hardware that can handle 10 gigabit.

I’m not at all defending this asinine “solution” to school shootings, however eight minutes could be a significant amount of lives saved.

Game changer is a great way to phrase it. It’s no exaggeration to say it changed my partner and my lives. It gave us the confidence to save for and buy a house. I’ve never felt more in control of my finances before.

Or secure, often.

I mean, not quite the same logic. The tariffs that Nintendo paid were deemed illegal. The price consumers paid was not deemed to be illegal. At least, not yet, as the case is ongoing.

I hate genAI, but this is dangerous. I’m a writer and I’ve had my stuff accused of being genAI when it’s not. And there was an incident several years ago on a prominent art subreddit where an artist was banned for posting AI art, and when the artist proved it wasn’t by sending layer files, the mod upheld the ban and told the artist they should change styles because it “looked” like genAI. It’s not a great feeling.

TOS get rewritten way more often than once every ten to twenty years lol, that it really not a big deal.

I may be mistaken, but I had looked into Paperless before and saw they had AI features before this. Is it just more, or more in your face? I was under the impression they were optional, at least when I looked into it.

GenAI as it currently stands is a fancy text predictor. You ever had your phone suggest the next word in a message you’re typing? It’s that, on crack.

When you really wrap your head around the fact that that is all it’s doing, it loses a lot of its appeal imho. Especially for the cost to do so.
