@nasser I'd say lack of generics is a big indicator of a clay language.

@klardotsh I'm still of the opinion that the correct global optimum solution is at the human and machine protocol levels. Software and people should be more delay tolerant and require less bandwidth. Video chat for example is already recommended against due to its carbon impact.

But of course if you lose your job if you refuse to participate in the bitrate churn, this is of little consequence. But as a species, we shouldn't need Starlink.

@anelki TIL of it. But it looks like a downloader, I was thinking of a player.

How come there isn't a generic yt-dlp based proxy for video sharing sites in general? Like a generic #invidious .

Tbh if you were against the #NFT and #blockchain crap because of its energy requirements, you should be against #ChatGPT and most other currently hyped #AI crap.
If you aren't, I'm really curious what you're doing that you think makes the energy expenditure worthwhile.

What if video game hardware requirements were rephrased in terms of "on average you have to earn this much to be able to afford the required hardware".

This toot prompted by People Make Games's excellent video about the video game industry's relation to class.

Would be super thankful if all my EU citizen friends signed (and maybe shared) this petition by @edri to stop the #EU from forcing backdoors into encrypted messaging: https://civicrm.edri.org/stop-scanning-me

@mark @edri Its exact title is on the page.

@bytex64 Oooh, you're repairing a printer? ?
Do you have some kind of link dump for someone who (eventually) wants to get into that? I have a few printers waiting for me to level up my electronics skills.

@noracodes YESSS. My favorite "algorithms are cool" story is when I used binary search to figure out which switch on our breaker box controlled the power to my room.
It is such a useful piece of memetic material.

@davidgerard @gewalker
Found the post I was looking for:

@davidgerard @gewalker Amazon causes way more environmental and social issues than cryptocurrencies, not that I'm a fan of most cryptocurrencies. I wouldn't be surprised if they also provided infrastructure for Palantir.
That's kind of part of the problem with them.

@Minetest Graphics improvements are nice but I *really* hope it's opt in and doesn't raise system requirements.
