Eh, I can see your point, and the commentor also mentioned jesus in another comment, which is weird and annoying, but I think in the original comment it was being used as a way to show that this idea has been around for a very long time, and give more credence to their point.
I would certainly never quote the bible, and it is kinda weird, but I don’t think its bad enough to be worth discarding their main message.
I’m not religious, but I think that was a justified bible quote, it describes the point made, and theres even an alternative example. I get that religion has done a bunch of bad things, but that was a harmless quote.
it took a bit to learn but now its great
captain disillusion still makes videos, just very slowly because of how much work each one is
youtube might never really die though, that business model is just so incredibly dependant on scale, and hosting ridiculous amounts of data, that it seems nearly impossible for something else to start up
i dont save ALL videos, i only save videos i would really miss if they disappeared.
some people have the storage to save entire channels though, and if i had the space for it i might do the same
lol you can store petabytes in one rack, much less an entire data center.
Yeah, I got a perfectly good phone for half the price of buying new
at least you mostly know what data insurance companies get though, with tech its somewhere between all of your internet activity ever, and nothing because its too expensive.
personally it seems worth it to me to avoid large tech companies simply because I have the time to deal with some lost convenience, and if they are storing everything then they will have less on me, and if they aren’t, well I’ve learned loads about IT, and its been kinda fun.
your opinion doesn’t seem to be that unpopular here
I think it was fine, certainly a very unique and artsy style, but I can see why some people don’t like it.
idk I mostly agree with you. Although, how do the insurance companies collect that information? I know there’s car insurance apps that sense how good your driving is, but other than that is it mostly just datamining of publicly available documents etc like those background check or people finder sites do?
but everything is https so its not like they can really filter it much. idk just seems way easier to block what you want, on the device, as opposed to trying to dismantle the carefully built system of networking
It would probably help the majority of people, but would hurt some.
I use klogg for browsing massive text files, it works pretty good for me
this one wasn’t really that bad, yes they shortened the life span of the bulbs, but incandescent bulbs were a solved problem at that time, and longer lasting bulbs meant that they must produce less light. that bulb that’s lasted a 100 years or whatever, is very very dim, and that’s why it’s still going. also, dimmer (longer lasting) bulbs are less efficient for the amount of light you get, and some of the lightbulb manufacturers were also power companies, which were struggling with energy and so had reason to want more efficient lightbulbs. here’s a great video on the topic https://youtube.com/watch?v=zb7Bs98KmnY
I think the majority of ppl want that stuff better for everyone, toxic masculinity hurts women and men. there’s definitely some very vocal sexists on both sides though
Hyperspace pirate is currently working on making a cryocooler to make liquid nitrogen, out of cheap and readily accessible components. He’s not done yet, but the progress videos are very interesting to watch. https://www.youtube.com/@HyperspacePirate
hosting a local LLM to summarize search results could be very cool though
they aren’t good ideas but we dont seem to be doing much about our emissions, so research into potential methods to delay the problem doesn’t seem terrible. (as long as its not exploited to continue doing nothing)
