That’s one of YouTube’s anti-adblocking measures. As far as I know, it only happens on a “cold” load (like when opening a YouTube video by going to its URI directly). You can avoid it by navigating to it from within the YT interface.
Funnily enough, the time you have to wait is still shorter than the ad you would’ve had to watch.
We do, AI companies just don’t respect it.
“Nah”? You seem to be agreeing
Can’t be too sure about that: https://sh.itjust.works/post/57524423
The whole patent system should just be abolished. And if we can’t achieve that, at least software patents.
I quoted GLaDOS saying “Don’t press that button. You don’t know what you’re doing.”
… and no one pressed the button. It ended.
The information returned by whois depends on the registry. For example, most registries for European TLDs basically just show whether the domain is registered (I say “most” because I’m not sure whether it’s actually all or if there are exceptions, but I know .de is like this). In that case, there aren’t even “whois privacy” services available from registrars. For TLDs from other countries or gTLDs, this might vary.
In either case, do note what the other comment says. Whois is not the only way to identify who runs a service.
it returns a lot of information such as registrar name, abuse contact, creation date… even though i paid extra for “whois privacy.”
If you didn’t pay for whois privacy, it would most likely return your actual name, email address, phone number, and home address instead. “Whois privacy” just means your registrar inserts their information into these fields instead, and forwards any mail they might get to you.
I feel like having to do moderation on the instance level is just not a good idea, because it just leads to scenarios like this. Unless an instance was just set up to send spam, in which case blocking it site-wide is obviously the best thing to do, you’re always going to cut off actual people who post from there.
At least on Lemmy, moderation can also be done on the community level, which actually have a topic they can enforce.
I like the different approach some games take, like Minecraft’s “advancements”. They’re per save, so mods don’t disable them (in fact, many mods add their own), and a nice indicator of how much progress you’ve made in a world already.
And people who care about “completing” a game can still do that in a single save and show off the advancement progress window there (although it can be cheated just like in any game).
There’s just no global statistics anymore.
Also reading through the post linked at the end that has more details, this proposal actually seems pretty well-designed. Most importantly, it’s very easy to use, and that’s important for accessibility features (otherwise no one will put these attributes on their websites).
Looking forward to being able to use this, but it’s probably going to take a while for it to be accepted and implemented across browsers. Not sure what the process for that actually looks like.
“Following the recent discussion, we have strengthened our safeguards,” [OKA’s] Zimmerman told me. “We are now rolling out a second, independent LLM review step. Translators must run the completed draft through a separate model using a dedicated comparison prompt designed to identify potential discrepancies, omissions, or inaccuracies relative to the source text. Initial findings suggest this is highly effective at detecting potential issues.”
Ah yes; when LLMs don’t work, just add more LLMs. Genius.
They say it’s been “highly effective” but somehow, I doubt that.
Oh that’s true, I didn’t consider that. I do usually copy the URL directly, because share buttons tend to add tracking parameters I’d have to remove manually. But I know many people don’t even bother (or know about) that. Still, that’s only the “share as link” button. Who knows how much the social share buttons actually get used.
I wonder if anyone actually uses any of these. I just can’t imagine finding an article or something and wanting to share it this way, but I’m also not on Mastodon or other similar networks.
Now that I think about it, this might make the most sense for link aggregators, as that’s just the kind of post you’d frequently share. Hm.
Yeah, that’s the reasonable thing to do. Most uses of tangents are things I do want to see, but it’s still helpful to enable the category in case something comes up in the video I don’t care about.
When I enabled this niche aggressive category I wanted niche, aggressive segments. But on videos that I liked? This has gone too far. This category is censoring jokes, it is suppressing creative voices. I can’t believe there are people out there, making this segments on these works of art. It’s a comedy channel for God’s sake! I get that this category is for jokes but these jokes are FUNNY! These submitters should be banned, as they clearly don’t understand these guidelines. Oh they removed the jokes from LTT? That’s fine their jokes are lame. Hey @sponsorblock@fosstodon.org how do I bulk upvote
Oh, they switched to Source 2? I thought P2:CE was based on the CS:GO branch of the engine, which would still be Source 1. But I haven’t kept up to date with what they were doing, so maybe I’m wrong here.
