Heat is heat, “low density large volume” or whatever, they’ve successfully used it in cold climate locations to heat residential homes already.

I’m not sure if it’s changed, but in places where the PSN isn’t available, are the players still able to play?

YouTube can burn.

They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

Give directly to the creator.

Yes.

If they ever do a second season, I’d love it if they refrained from trying to shoehorn in any radical changes.

Ayyyy! Now yer talkin’!

It won’t be a terminator style takeover by AI, mankind will simply lend all of our trust and capability to it rendering us dependant. Even to the point of liking our computer overlords.

I think that particular apocalypse is a long time off and can be avoided, but it’s coming.

It’s because they dissolve within 5 minutes of use after poking them through the plastic lid.

I was gifted a metal collapsible one recently because of my bitching about it and it’s a better experience.

So I become a Sol baby? Everything I have would need to be changed.

The only winners here are the January babies.

That’s what I try to explain to my friends. Keto can be looked at two ways.

Red keto - mostly meat, eggs, cheese

Green keto - getting a majority of nutrition from vegetables and avocados, etc

The red keto diet isn’t as good for you as green keto is.

The whole point is that there is a lack of ethics in China. Me saying that doesn’t mean China is the only one, just one with means and ability.

How to use this, and what to do with it, need to be discussed globally. Because whatever is done with it will have far reaching impacts.

The chode of all pyramids

Gorgeous pictures regardless!

Is that a different kind of flute? It’s not like one I can recognize.

My grandma called it the doodely-woodely music.

Thank you for the information. I needed some brushing up on all of it.

Finally a good argument, thank you.

I agree that premium splits the percentage of my cash equally and easily but only 55% bugs me. That’s an arbitrary number based off of some black box calculation.

I do not trust YouTube to have my or the creators best interest in mind.

If this number was 90% for creators I would consider it fair. The majority of the work comes from creators and is the reason YouTube has any people at its doorstep.

In the meantime, I can still far less effectively make use of my money the way I want to until a better alternative comes around.

I’ll just have the sweat it and try harder to be a better consumer, I guess.

What phone or service is this? Not in the states right?

I would be fine if YouTube crumbled and was put into second place by a better platform or two.

Yes it’s the best option currently which is why they can do such ridiculous practices.

But once they have actual competition, I expect them to bend over backwards for my attention. Because if they don’t change the current trajectory, they’ll go the way of the other digital giants of the past.

Do not worry about having a viable platform in a future without YouTube. I am 100% sure there will be one.

I’m not saying you didn’t, but your previous comment was about supporting premium which equals supporting a business model that thrives off of hurting creators.

It helps them, sure, but giving to creators directly is the higher road here and that’s what should be done instead of buying premium.

I’m just pointing out the vibe in the room here.
