they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.

…pardon?
you automatically assume I’m some weird corporate drone? you’re not exactly making your case very clear and you sound patronizing.
I’m not entirely certain who this rant is for, but i can’t imagine anyone who is labeled as a “consumer of the internet and not a citizen” is going to take you seriously.
and for that matter, those with good heads on their shoulders won’t either.
Stop blaming random people for the bullshit that corporations do and get away with. you’re pointing fingers at the wrong people and it makes your cause look fabricated.
Better tech education would definitely help take some power away from corporations
If you truly believe that, then vilifying more “simple” and less tech-savvy individuals is not the way to do it. Don’t be angry that they click on ads. Be angry that they’ve been poisoned to think that behavior is normal on the internet.
Education is absolutely possible for those new to things like the fediverse. But education doesn’t work when you use those labels for people. It widens the gap, it doesn’t close it.
I’m not sure that categorizing people as “normies” is a great idea. nor is it a way to entice new people and voices to join and learn how to use the fediverse so that it can become a more reliable place.
i think blaming enshittification on “normies” is a lot easier than holding greedy corporations accountable for directly making everything worse. it’s surely easier, but the real issue remains unchecked.
if anything, it’s a good thing that more people are learning how much better the fediverse is. it helps the fediverse get stronger, not weaker.
“us” vs “them” is not a mindset that will produce anything except cesspools of toxicity. at least imho.
what exactly does that mean?
they’re carefully wording a strong email as we speak. a very strong email.
completely agree. not sure what the downvotes are for.
i would like to say I prefer Newpipe, but those guys have a pretty annoying bug that’s been going on for years now and it’s still not been fixed.
If you watch a video and then go back to a list and scroll up to the top, the app crashes.
honestly I keep a tab open with the list of invidious instances open. because every day I usually have to change the instance. or swap it around.
invidious is fighting youtube very hard, but youtube is fighting back. so its difficult to keep up with.
i would keep an eye on the invidious instances list. and change to a different one if need be.
i constantly gotta swap invidious instances because youtube is being relentless in their war against invidious.
but the ui is awesome and I use it every day.

i have tried with various formats and unfortunately none of them work, or they just ignore the attempt.
i appreciate you trying to help, though. i honestly just kinda wish it would change names again so it’d be easier to somehow block. lol
exactly this. i have a filter on certain keywords. his name is in there but there’s nothing I can do to avoid posts about the platform.
it’s super irritating.
nobody:
not a single soul:
waymo cars at 4am: “ayyyy lmao” “ayyyyyy lmfao”
oh I love CD. i do remember that video! yeah I have serious doubts about the TVs
the vending machine would be interesting for sure. i just hope it will be worth the length and cost of the development of this tech.
the HUD is what i initially thought, but in that scenario they’d need the screen to be a decent window as well.
but yeah as you said it would have to be functional as both. and I don’t see that happening.
i do wonder how often a technology is developed with vigor only to not sell well. i kinda see that happening in the future with this. which sucks because these have been in development for years.
this is a fascinating article as it goes into heavy detail about both techs and how they work.
but this did make me facepalm a bit:
“That’s why the transparent OLED TV LG demonstrated at CES 2024 included a “contrast layer”—basically, a black cloth—that unrolls and covers the back of the display on demand.”
I’m not sure I can think of many practical applications for these devices.
you’re welcome. i hate paywalls and I thought it was an interesting read.
I’m getting tired, man. these people are truly just the shittiest individuals ever.
