Wouldn‘t be surprised if this was an accident. Wouldn‘t be the first time something gets messed up after a Youtube update where Youtube simply changed how some things work for functionality. These things can make Adblockers act up in a weird way.

I for example noticed last week the first video of a session starts at an automatic resolution of 360p. I have to manually change it to 1080p. Then it remembers this and keeps it for a while. I could blame Youtube for this but I bet it has something to do with the fact I‘m skipping ads and Youtube suddenly doesn‘t know anymore in what resolution the video should be served. Perhaps it‘s getting an error and thinks I have a worse connection than I do and tries it‘s best to load the video anyway.

What I‘m trying to say is: We don‘t know why exactly Youtube acts up. Could just be a bad interaction from an update that is purely unintentional. Either way Adblocker devs will find a fix for it quickly like they always do.

It‘s another mass surveillance bill. Don‘t be fooled.

You want to end it on Fediverse apps too, right? Riiight?

Italy just can’t help it. Playing second fiddle in a stupid fascist concerto is in it‘s nature I guess.

So can we expect ChatGPT to become a shareholder hive mind then?

Oh good. This will make it less accessible to others. Next step is a ban of the whole idea in the EU.

American tech giants are just one fascist cult.

Meaning Palantir also catalogs all your Discord chats.

Spotify lies as naturally as it squeezes musicians.

AI learning from mistakes is like asking you to not think of a blue elephant while reading this. LMAO

My pay can‘t even keep up with inflation or rising prices and I‘m now expected to use AI for the tasks that I liked to do manually and instead waste my time fixing the garbage it puts out.

So yeah, thanks a lot „Christian Democrats“ and „Social Democrats“ for slashing the social state and putting our struggling economy to a halt even more all the while giving my employer even more leverage to squeeze labor out of me.

I‘m thinking I should take more paid health breaks before they cut that possibility too.

While social spending gets cut even more. I mean sure the social state did nothing to harm the struggling economy but… look, it‘s just getting cut, ok?!

Carthaginians furious Rome stopped paying them and instead invests in a fleet of their own.

Perhaps they understand economic growth the same way the orange rapist understands tariffs?

I like how IG Metall calls out Tesla‘s lie before the article doubles down and gives examples of what Tesla is also lying about including job cuts at the site. Which is a very easy thing to debunk I might add. Those numbers are public.

I agree with the sentiment but this isn‘t really how the BND works. It‘s more like the German NSA. They have barely any real executive power and rely on other institutions or even nations to act on the information they gather. Secret services in countries like the USA, UK or even France have much greater executive powers such as a license to kill.

I see the actual Police, their powers and use of surveillance systems like Palantyr as much more problematic, personally. Or the fact that we have a de facto illegal right radical party sitting in the parliament and other parties don‘t even think about applying mechanisms to protect our democracy and freedoms from them. It looks like our secret services in Germany are at least doing their job. I wish I could say the same about politicians.

That‘s honestly less surprising or impressive than people using Death Stranding for that.

I genuinely expected them to go with the much more exploitable „Made with Europe“ proposal so this is a bit of a surprise. I‘m still not sold on this idea entirely because the EU has a lot of trade obligations with nations around the world who may feel betrayed by this. But it‘s still better than other proposals I guess.

Going local is taxing on your hardware that is extremely expensive to replace. Hell, it could soon become almost impossible to replace. I genuinely don‘t recommend it.

Even if you HAVE to use LLMs for some reason, there are free alternatives right now that let Silicon Valley bleed money and they‘re quickly running out of it.

Cancelling any paid subscription probably hurts them more than anything else.

Most people have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. You can see it in the polls everywhere.
