Of course it’s about profit, but how does censorship increase profits? In the end, I think it is because people don’t want to see bad words when they are doing something that’s supposed to make them feel good: consuming.
Advertisers would happily use bad words if that would increase their sales, but I assume it actually hurts their sales, so they don’t want them anywhere near their ad campaigns.
But why do corporations want to censor bad words when they don’t care if their products are harming or even killing people?
Yeah, but they aren’t Microsoft and have competition, so they might care if they lose your business. Unless you’re a big company or state actor, Microsoft probably wants your data more than what little money you have. Especially if they don’t get any money from you because you’re on some kind of charity plan.
A small local company is also more likely to help you with an individual backup solution if something off the shelve doesn’t fit you.
Not all clouds are equal.
What the f is this site…
It’s the third-largest newspaper in India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_times_of_india
If ads on a news site are not acceptable to you, I wonder where you get your news.
- “How about criticising the source with facts?”
- “Nah, let’s just say something sarcastic and vague to gain internet points.”
But then I’d have to open the URL in the browser which needs a minute to load, and then I have to click away several cookie banners or wait for an extension to do it for me. Opening a YouTube URL always feels like I’m installing an app.
I also noticed the youtube rss feeds are returning 404s now as well.
They are still working for me. Example: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC5rT7F0PGNuD54rJ9kzgWzw
EDIT: This is the command I use to convert YouTube channel URLs into RSS URLs:
curl --silent "https://www.youtube.com/@thecodyreeder" \
| grep -Po '"rssUrl"\s*:\s*"[^"]+"' \
| cut -d : -f 2- | tr -d \"
You are saying the planned to run him over. How do you back that up?
I agree that she made a terrible mistake. She should have to pay restitution to the family, get jail time and probably never drive again. But murder is a whole different thing. You might as well charge her with genocide.
At least she turned herself in. I’m not sure I would’ve had enough courage and selfrespect to do that.
I disagree. Everyone believes that people are greedy and their only goal in life is money hoarding. But if you ask them what their own goals are, getting filthy rich has very, very low priority.
If politicians are greedy, that’s because 1) to become a politician (in the USA), you already have to be rich, and 2) if politicians are paid lots of money, greedy people want to become politicians.
You don’t want to attract greedy assholes to represent you, but that’s exactly what you’re doing if you pay them too much. The people you do want to be politicians are those who aren’t interested in money.
Can you explain what you mean exactly?
Doesn’t really matter because they still use the Linux kernel, which AFAIK allows LLM contributions.
If all the services suck, you could just not use any of them, like everyone did for literally millions of years. I don’t understand why supporting corporate neofascism is OK if their services are convenient.
Also, when the AI bubble pops, nobody will have any GPU money because they need it to bail out the AI companies to prevent the global economy from blowing up and flinging the entire cosmos into Satan’s buttcrack.
By that time, nobody will be able to blink without AI because everyone is using it all the time for everything even though everyone knows the AI bubble is going to pop and the world will go to shit because everyone depends on AI.
I have no idea what we’re doing, but I’m sure it’s fun to watch from far away.
