Yep, beehaw is defederated from a couple of big instances, and so we don’t get any content from those servers, including comments.

For reference, I’ve got 10 comments under this post.

I musta missed the rape joke. I just took this as an acknowledgment and maybe slight celebration that a sex offender is going to jail.

Edit: I forgot I’m on my beehaw account and see a much smaller portion of the comments

Idk all the particulars, I just know my S7 is still not bootloader unlockable, and pretty sure previous galaxy phones weren’t either. That was my last Samsung. Not sure if this was a US thing, a T-Mobile/Sprint think (who I had back then), or a Samsung thing. But HTC and Pixel phones seemed to always be unlockable.

There are models for detecting adult material, idk how well they’d work on CSAM though. Additionally, there exists a hash identification system for known images, idk if it’s available to the public, but I know apple has it.

Idk, but we gotta figure out something

Arrange a high density led strip in this layout, the individually addressable ones. Then you’ve got a new digit display style

We need more decentralization, a federated image/gif host with CSAM protections

Unless something’s changed recently, gig workers are not, in practice, independent contractors. At best you get to pick your schedule, but even that can come with penalties to your algorithmically assigned jobs. It’s full on employment minus all the benefits.

I’ve seen those types of questions frequently addressed by #VanLife content creators. Maybe look into that. I know that was helpful for the 2 week road trip my wife and I took.

I often get the impression that everyone talking about how we’re so much better than AI haven’t put any thought into our own human cognition and consciousness.

We don’t know exactly how the brain works, or how consciousness happens. But the best science based explanations we have make us nothing more than electrochemical machines.

And if we can replicate the workings of the brain, with neural nets and appropriate reinforcement mechanisms (or any other means), not bound by the limits of biological evolution… then we will have a singularity.

But that’s 2 major ifs. IF we’re electrochemical machines and IF we can make a synthetic version. But IFs that don’t seem too far fetched to me.

CPM on tech, finance, and health (a lot of what I watch) is often $5-10. And apparently google pays creators even more than that rate for premium viewers.

Even so, direct payment is likely to be more profitable to creators than just watching ads or having premium.

But even as a technical person, I’ve never really been interested in finding ways to block ads on my PC, MacBook, iPhone, Android (when I had one), and Roku/AppleTV. And potentially having to keep up with the apparently changing landscape of YouTube adblocker a for each. Sounds like a pain in the ass. I’d rather just pay for family premium, and easily share the benefits with my mom, sister, & wife without having to offer technical support for their ad blocking.

I’m transitioning to nb, does that count?
