Reading this made me instantly have the gay frogs song stuck in my head again

xxd ,

Definitely agree. Maybe you could argue that you'd just need to cut out former East Germany to make the post accurate, but even overall, germanys far right is definitely strong.

In addition to the other comments: Germany has a lot of voters that are like 60+, some of which either don't care too much because they will die long before the worst of climate change happens, or simply don't want to change. Any policies that try to reduce carbon emissions are met with criticism by people not wanting to change their own behavior.

Sadly true! It seems their TikTok marketing campaign has paid off. I'm very disappointed by that.

Save $46 billion and have musk leave? Thats win-win if I've ever seen it.

Unless the casino is doing something illegal, it's really not their decision to make. If they don't want to subsidize them, all they'd have to do is be transparent and fair in their pricing.
They way CF handled it instead just seems unprofessional and deceitful.

Some of these AI results are really funny, but this has to be fake, right? Are the AI results really that fucked up? There is just no way!

The algorithm team must have been working overtime to get passable results with 85% of the data missing!

Also, it must feel absolutely horrifying to hear Neuralink decline a surgery to fix your implant. I guess they're still used to the "try, fail, abandon" strategy from their animal tests?

Tesla will be renamed to "X (formerly known as Tesla)" to keep it distinct from "X (formerly known as Twitter)". Then, once all his companies have been renamed and finally merged, he'll just run X into the ground. Way more efficient than doing it for each company individually!

The only thing I'd note is to be careful with your issue #2, because this sounds like it could break with autofill. Some autofill implementations may fill invisible fields (this has actually been an attack vector to steal personal info), so blocking the IP because an invisible field labeled "email" has been filled could hit users too.
Otherwise, 100% agree!

Working on the bleeding edge of scientific research does not relieve someone of treating animals with ethical consideration. A "move fast and break things" approach might be good for a startup and maybe even for a rocket company, but that approach isn't okay if "breaking things" includes living, feeling animals.

xxd ,

The least they should do is make sure no animal suffers needlessly and no more animals than necessary are used for testing. I don't have confidence in moral standards, when employees say the number of deaths is higher than needed because of demands of faster research.

Also there is some research on non-invasive ways to get signals from the brain. Why not try that before testing implants on animals?

Finally the plot of the movie "Upgrade" can become a reality

I think this is kind of a temporary workaround. In Apples ideal world, the Vision Pro would actually be transparent and you could see the users eyes for real, but the tech isn't ready to project what apple is doing on glasses. So they settled for a VR headset and put eyes on the outside. Eventually in however many years it takes, they will actually use glasses and won't have to do the screen on the outside.
They must believe, that being able to see Vision Pro users eyes is integral to the product, or at least important to the product being accepted by everyone.

I selfhosted Invidious a while back, but gave up on it when it stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. I have no experience with Piped.

I settled on a third alternative, but I don't want to point too much attention to it because I think it might be flying under Youtubes' radar at the moment. But let me say this: if you embed a youtube video on a third party site and have it be part of a playlist with only the video in it, you won't see any ads.
so for example I'd be embedding a link like this:
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?playlist=dQw4w9WgXcQ&vq=hd1080&autoplay=1&modestbranding=1&rel=0
on my own page and can then watch it without ads :)
if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up.

xxd ,

yeah I know, makes no sense. I'll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I'm sure I'll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.
