What is mediocre about it? What would be an example of a good browser, and what are the differences?

That’s what I said. AI haters are attacking, and he was defending against them, telling them to look in a mirror

Lmao, as if they’d wait a day. I’ve seen multiple people get fired for “No call, no show” that same dag when management forgot they gave them the day off

It’s not a matter of technical implementation, but a procedural one. It was never a secret, it was just too expensive and impractical to do. If you changed how you implement ads every single day, the ad blockers would have to change their rules every day. Just keep going forever, and eventually the adblockers won’t have the resources to keep up.

It’s like if a food truck driver was trying to operate without a permit. If they sat in the same spot every day, officials would see them and easily catch them. If they moved to different apots around town every day and repainted their truck, they could evade officials. That’s not a secret, it’s just that it’s more work than it’s worth. While not a great analogy for many reasons, the idea is that it was never a secret how to get past ad blockers. It was just never worth the money. You’d spend more money implementing the evasion than you’d get back from the ad revenue.

At this point yhey are probably using AI to do the job of adjusting ad formats, so humans especially couldn’t keep up. Perhaps AI could be used to counteract it, but that’s expensive to setup and keep running. A free software obviously can’t aford that.

Sure, they could have been silent about it, but they would still get reports about missed ads. There would be enough hubbub online they’d eventually have to address. Maybe this way they can use the attenion to get more contributors

I copied it from a site and removed all the nuance. The point was that recorsing laws vary for several states. I hope nobody is going to my list for legal advice

I’m not sure you understood. That quote is defending against AI haters

What stand does he take? “Don’t use AI”? How does he enforce that? He is working with volunteers, so it’s not like he can cut their pay

Companies absolutely can pay people solely to combat ad blockers. That will always win. Facebook doesn’t have a “system” other than always changing their system. Any company can constantly change how they display ads. The ad blockers are just always playing catch up until the corporation exhausts the volunteers energy.

If the solution is to get new volunteers to keep up the work, why don’t we have people willing to take on that role? Most people that have the know how arent using facebook anyway, so there’s no motivation from them.

Without legislature to enforce some rules on corporations, the ones with the money will always win.

It doesn’t matter which meaning it is. Either way, if a call might be recorded and you stay on the line, you agree to the possibility of it being recorded. Like wise, them saying the call might be recorded could easily mean it might be recorded by you. There is not an instance where they can consent to only them recording, and not consent to you recording, without a much more legally binding contract.

I always understood it to mean “this call might be recorded” but they are definitely recording. It’s like a cheeky “who knows, maybe we’ll record maybe we won’t” when they are always recording…

The following states are all-party consent:

• California
• Connecticut
• Delaware
• Florida
• Illinois
• Maryland
• Massachusetts
• Montana
• New Hampshire
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania
• Washington

IANAL, but if you are in a one party consent state, and they are in a two party (aka all party) consent state, typically all parties must consent.

If you call a customer support line and it says “This call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes”, then staying on the line means you consent. I absolutely record all customer service calls, because if it goes absolutely terrible, I love knowing I can just play back what they said. I haven’t had to resort to that yet, but it’s always good to have it as a backup.

For reference, I just use BCR on my rooted android

I disagree. His videos are still good, and his experience with the every day scrubber built in America has been very interesting. He has only mentioned he’s a Christian a few times in his videos.

YouTube is not like a town square. YouTube is one way communication, not talking to a friend. It would maybe be like a printed announcement posted at town square that ends with a prayer or Bible verse. You can just stop reading when you get to the end of the announcement, except most people only read the very beginning of the announcement anyway. It would be like saying “I’m done reading any of the announcements from this person because they end with a Bible verse”

You don’t have to look forward to that. We are enjoying it already. It’s great not having to wait on Rockstar to enjoy not playing their games

sensationalized headlines aren’t new. If anything they’re more important now than ever

It’s a human thing, above all else. If they wanted logical reasonable discussion, they should talk to robots. Except that’s the thing they hate

how long could the queue be? If someone can’t wait 60 seconds for the queue, but can take the 8 seconds to ask if it’s about X incident. I do imagine it will be smart enough to check their approximate location before giving the prompt

“religious people” are not the problem. Entitled, judgemental, hypocritical, and bigoted people are the problem. Many of those people would be the same with or without religion, but granted they are doing it under the guise of religion. People are always going to have beliefs about our existence, so it seems foolish to be done with anyone that has some form of belief and discusses it.

Religion should not be forced on anyone ever, which is why separation of church and state is so important (and being actively being destoryed). But adding a small expression of your beliefs to ythe end of your video is hardly pushing it on anyone. The worst impact it’s had is all the comments being more about the prayer than the content of the video.

All that to say, you’re absolutely allowed to refuse to consume anything made by someone with faith in something. You definitely aren’t missing much from Network Chuck’s videos. But I do think it’s a slippery slope to generalize, given the amount of objectively good religious people throughout history. I wouldn’t group them with the objectively terrible religious ones

I don’t get creeper vibes from him around kids, he seems like a good teacher. Where I get bad vibes are all his scams. The “golden ticket” he did in his science boxes just seemed like an illegal lottery. You cannkt have a giveaway where you must purchase somethong for entry, and idk how they would distribute winners to online submissions and golden tickets evenly

lmfao, I’m not religious, but why are his videos no good now that he prays at the end? He only does it at the very end, and most people stop watching before then.

If it’s an assumption about his political beliefs, that seems unfair. Educated people in technology are typically left leaning, even when they’re religious (I work with a few, and nobody I’ve met in IT is right leaning in a red state). I just don’t watch his videos to the end if that’s a useful video

Where does bigclive deny covid?
