With this from chrome, and Reddit going paywalls do you think we’ll see another spike in Lemmy traffic…i think it’s a safe bet.

I fucking hate reddit so DAMN much !

No …no it’s not it just isn’t. What this is a sensationalist headline trying to sow discord, despair, and defeat.

I understand the implication of a future where Trump or his like were in charge, but as dark as it looks I still think the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again. So what if he makes the Republican nomination it just confirms their lawless criminality.

In other words STOP with the crap attitudes that trump is “Inevitable” Shit… he’s not.

You have a choice A. Be a Chad who Dumps Chrome and chromium based browsers . or B. remain a whiny loser who has to deal with ads.

I only seem to barely notice the difference… At first i couldnt understand what everyone was talking about…but yeah its a small delay over what it used to be. Also it seems any bookmarked vids will no longer autoplay… you have to click play… is that a thing anyone else has to do ?

I tried Edge and it seemed only a small bit faster to me, but it did autoplay. Are there any other anomalous strange effects google has done to youtube that i might have missed ?

I never had issues with adds on FF and ublock … still don’t.

Every one of these pieces of shit, and the people who make excuses for them (their voters) need to be deported to Russia.

Uninstall all google apps and CHROME… get Firefox…done. How many times will i have to say it before people start to understand.

Can’t wait till this vile bitch ends up in prison like the rest of the MAGA traitors.

It’s shit like this that really just makes me want to start the Butlerian Jihad for real.

Of course, and That’s fine so long as it benefits everyone there equally. But Would you wager me the Saudi Government (or any goverment) is going to be that fair about it ?

Either way we have to wait and see where the Chinese developers take this to next.

Whether or not they can scale it is always a technical concern as to if its practical or not yes, but Scaling costs $, wheres that money going to come from if they find they can reasonably scale it…Hmmm?

It’s based in China, and I’m not even sure how goverment aided funding works there, or for that matter how even private funding would. My point is there are bound to be those who will interfere with or straight up deny funding for things like this because it conflicts with OTHER competing interests. It’s like all the two dozen articles we hear about rechargeable battery innovations only worse…we get a lot of the “oh thats cool, I sure hope that comes to pass”…“Thats neat good for those guys !” crowd who are always asking the same question years later if they ever do at all, that i ask up front… Where is this product…? Why am I not able to go out and purchase this marvelous thing to improve my life and the lives of those around me. I dont expect it yesterday, but it would be nice if we could ever see things like this actually become readily available soon after such praise and promising review, but they never do, and if they do they’re never affordable…because if it’s convenient it never is. If its that cool it’s usually a tool only the wealthy can ever afford or have access to.

But usually all talk of it seems to just fade away like no one ever even heard of it… This article disappears in time, and no updates are discussed ever again, but I’m never supposed to critically question anything…I’m supposed to have faith that it will all work out just like the tech bros envision it. The basic science and development i don’t have a problem with, but the absurd dogmatic pragmatism I do, and I’ve already explained to you why.

You underestimate the greed of the .01 % …my cynicism comes from seeing them getting their way the great majority of the time because money.

Came here to say this, but i see you have it covered. I get sooooo tired of the “coulds” ,“woulds” and “shoulds” we see in article titles like this. What is more likely to happen… a promising new technology that’s cheap to produce, maintain, and reduces prices for the delivery of the worlds most needed resource is universally embraced by ALL…or Companies like Nestle, who’s massive water profiteering is threatened by this innovation, either buys out all the patents and sweeps it under the rug , and/or launches a campaign of legal litigation against it’s developers so that it never gets funded nor ever gets to the practical production stage.

I know what kind of world we’re living in… and it’s not one that favors the hope and needs of the many over the greed of the few.

I swear to fuck… All i ever hear is the latest and greatest games always crashing, and or having bugs, or some other bullshit. I sure am glad i gave up on gaming a long time ago. I simply could not function halfway right if I’d continued.

Every big game announcement and release in the last 20 years I’ve heard about you get the “I cant wait, and im on preorder 3 months ahead of time” crowd bitching that the game didn’t get released on time, and when it did they didn’t account for all the rush traffic for the start and the servers were immediately overworked, not that thats the players fault, but its always the same players who never seem to heed the age old warning of Buyer Beware and they do bare blame. One would think by now you’d have recognized this is a pattern that happens over and over and over again on the fucking regular…almost as if it’s planned that way. Maybe be done with it…Maybe it’s time to hang up the controller and find other things to do with life, if you stop paying them they will lose and you will stop losing.

What is the definition of madness people… ?

Truth

Becuase the other browsers suck.

Lets see how many endless appeals we have to wait on, and if we ever see him in jail cell i’ll be suprised.

They like to look tough saying that, but when they find out how many of their opponents are just as capable of and willing to fight such a war the reality that sinks into their faces is fun to watch.

Does anyone else ever notice that the changes like this they make are done piece mail, brick by brick ,they continue to shitify the service. That’s intentional…Imagine you tube in the year 2009. I’m betting no one really remembers, and youtube made the same bet.

How many things have they taken away that users really like over the years think about it. Now imagine they did all those changes AT ONCE…TODAY… from 2005 at inception. Horrifying huh ?

Big companies always start off with an amazing array of “Standard Features” that they allow everyone to use, so that the users get hooked on them, then suddenly they make an announcement like this and they change, remove, or premium tier a feature. They know you wont like it… but they got you hooked and they know it and they dont care. It’s all driven at profiteering as much as they can off of you. Honestly I see youtube trying to become like Netflix by continuing to increase inconvenience with ads (for their profit), and ultimately making Youtube a completely payed service subscription to everyone.

They gaslight the great majority into just giving in to more ads, shittier service, and eventually a payed subscription by breaking your outrage up into small little pieces over time. STOP LETTING THEM !

Edit: So yeah Twitter/X as predicted.

I’m no fan of the US military and I live here but you can keep your “whataboutisms” to yourself next time. The Taliban were doing this shit long before the US was ever there.
