in my search for a youtube replacement i have found a few small yt-like alternatives that are fractured and niche in content. which at the moment is the only model available against a monolith like yt.

the problem is that once any of these smaller site were to gather as much content as yt they would have to use that advantage like yt does to make it profitable to keep the servers running and the support/dev staff happy.

so i haven’t seen a path forward away from yt until that basic issue becomes solved. perhaps lots of small yt niche sites gathered under a federated website i don’t know

First people were complaining that US Americans weren’t standing up.

Now, apparently for the economy, some people think too many people are standing up to strike.

Must be Hollywood/Soros paying them off ?

it is the boston dynamics demo that i want to see is a robot burglar entering a home from a side window and stealing a laptop then ordeing a waymo getaway accessory.

they did it explicitly with the prices of RAM

so yes

and 45% of those respondents were A.I.

i remember reading about north koreans using smuggled usb sticks to distribute media censored by the government

i guess i should be finding all my all usb thumb drives

yeah i think so, too. i think that automation should count.

irobot as of 2024 sold 50 million roomba says bing

i would prefer not to use auction style estimates

I’m going to count that as (11*t)*1,000,000,000 and use it as a statistical bumper in the final analisis

Player’s choice. That idea is eschewed for hopes of an finding a community first estimate. Then either parring or adding from there.

I’m not convinced that there might not be more robots now than humans.

Did you know that fascist regimes generally prefer audio dubbing films and tv shows instead of subtitles because then they get to control what the dialog says to their captive citizens ? And if most citizens can’t speak the foreign language and can’t read lips they never find any changes because how could they ?

Google is doing the same thing here. But with your own content.

funny way to express the sentiment “death to xians”

make a reservation at a fancy restaurant and show up in flannel pajamas, jacket, necktie, shoes heck throw and in spats and a monocle and i’ll watch this space

Cities are such a blight on the landscape. Better to let the land grow wild!

I’d had to think that The Harpers would frown upon such machinations against nature.

How many zvin ads do i have to sit through so that Sergey can be that much richer ?

What a fucking joke that would be on US American networks.

We are ranked like 30th in the world for bandwidth. No fiber dropped to the curb but the billionaires. And shit slow 20th century wireless speeds with technical acumen that we see today in Verizon’s ongoing 8 hour outage.

Bezos is so out of touch it is clown-like.

They want a data center heavy world but have no fucking pipeline to get data in and out for the rest of us.

What a human dildo.

Verizon tried to charge me a dollar for an emailed version of some instructions their CSR was flubbing on the phone.

Glad to see that they seemed to have found their dollar somewhere else.

I’d prefer you lost your internet privileges instead.
