Wrong question and framing.

Israel’s goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.

Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.

Interesting, that is a lot of blocking, and it seems like a really small pool of certain types of people and information!

You know what you only want to see; thanks for sharing your views on the matter.

Please, let’s not get into this habit of creating communities without having any clear purpose. It only makes things look even deader than they already are.

TIL, people follow that rule.

I try to keep my communities active, not sure you can say that about the others though.

hahaha, interesting, thanks for the questions!

do we really a whole community for that?

Why not.

It is just another new community like many on lemmy.

What do you want to talk about it there?

People can talk about SponsorBlock and the like.

TIL, cool for them.

I use other YT forks and systems that already implement similar techniques even if they are “good” or “bad” ads.

I am also for Sailing the High Seas.

We have a difference in opinion on this matter, but thanks for the small chat and the link!

This is the section you are talking about:

SponsorBlock

This year, a developer worked on implementing support for SponsorBlock in NewPipe. SponsorBlock is a crowd-sourced database listing sponsored sections in videos, which are automatically skipped by clients such as web browsers, using extensions.

While SponsorBlock’s implementation apparently takes care to preserve user privacy (you can, e.g., download the entire database for offline use, and its regular querying system is also well made), it targets an ethical advertising system. Its purpose is to help users, who probably don’t realise that sponsorship is one of the most ethical ways to fund their favorite content, automatically skip sponsored sections of videos.

Morally, it’s a very questionable system. Of course, some sponsoring may be of little relevance to the user, or maybe even intrusive or hidden. But SponsorBlock doesn’t differentiate between ethical and unethical advertisements. It just skips all kinds of sponsored sections.

That’s not your opinion.

Okay.

Not all ads are invasive soul seeking tracking nightmares

Ads are ads; it doesn’t matter if they are “good” or “bad,” unless you want to watch them like most people do because they don’t mind or they don’t know how to block them.

no, there are not “many ways” for content creators to do that full-time.

If they do not get the engagement or funds they need, they will either paywall or find other ways to support themselves; or they will just not make it on YouTube or streaming, like many people before them, unless they continue to fight on while learning and failling.

This reminds me of some small business talks; it is a harsh capitalistic world; you give up or keep trying.

I still say grassroots funding and support is the way to go if they are just doing it for the hobby or for what they believe.

IMO: Ads are ads, even if they come from the creator themselves.

People will support them if they can and if they want to.

Many ways to support them, direct funding, talking about them, making communities, and other stuff.

Jumping in:

My Android is my primary device so I don’t get the alt text.

Use a YT fork, you can customize it to some of your liking; Some come with SponsorBlock enabled right out of the box.

Yeah, I just click on video to check titles, unless you copy and paste yt url then go to a front-end website.

Or Louis Rossmann yt fork…

Edit: grammer, format, spelling, flow

IMO: Political tribalism.

They might be following the online narrative that the game is getting in their circles.

I check out other social media, so I see a bit of both sides.

On the other end, it is a really popular game that did not follow the PC culture wars that other games follow, per Sweet Baby Inc…

Sweet Baby Inc. is a Canadian narrative development and consultation studio based in Montreal. Founded by former Ubisoft developers, including scriptwriter Kim Belair and product manager David Bédard, the company consults on video game narratives during development to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within game narratives and studios.

LMK if I am wrong or if anyone has more information.

Oh, I knew I heard Mexico had a major reason for that name to stick; thanks for posting!

After CATL presented its Evogo battery swap solution in 2022 and began setting up the first locations, the company is now setting specific targets for the expansion of its battery swapping network in China. CATL is now aiming for a total of 10,000 battery-swapping stations, as battery maker’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Gao Huan said at the 2024 World Power Battery Conference in Yibin, China.

CATL currently has around 2,500 battery swapping active in China, and when it launched the brand in 2022, CATL stated that it wanted to “open to offering the service to all car companies and aims to build the world’s largest service network in two to three years.” In the meantime, CATL has launched the service in several cities, including Xiamen, Fuzhou, Guiyang and Hefei. However, the largest amount of swapping stations stands in Xiamen, with only 12 swapping stations in the city of 5 million, according to a Weibo post by EVOGO.

Now, the technology is in far more widespread demand, with a test for a Fuso eCanter with swappable batteries launching in Kyoto last month, and Kaufland Romania building swapping stations, announced just a few days ago. The African electric motorcycle manufacturer Spiro is also setting up battery-swapping stations in Nigeria.

Great analogy!

Thanks for taking the time to explain it in such a way!

IIRC: Data has not been overwritten yet; it is just shown to be open to being rewritten.

It can still be recovered with minimal corruption if the device was not used too much, where open storage would be eriten over.

It would depend on the type of necromancy, but at the end of the day, I think it would still be a conflict of interest since the person bringing them back would have great say, unless they are considered some type of expert witness necromancer.

Necromancy is the practice of magic involving communication with the dead by summoning their spirits as apparitions or visions for the purpose of divination; imparting the means to foretell future events and discover hidden knowledge.

The necromancer’s capacity to create minions and command them to fight for him or her is generally enough to satisfy even the most critical of viewers. As necromancers might easily be termed one-person armies, they are usually compelling and feared. The fact that they dabble in magic and the supernatural does not help their image as upstanding citizens.

Cross-post comment:

Geerling also demonstrated that the 2GB Pi 5 comes with a couple of unexpected benefits that Upton didn’t mention in his announcement—that the 2GB Pi 5 runs a little cooler and uses a little less power than the 4GB and 8GB editions. The 2GB Pi used just 2.4 W or power at idle and 8.9 W during a CPU stress test, compared to 3.3 W and 9.8 W in the 4GB version. The SoC of the 2GB Pi measured 30° Celsius at idle and 59° under load, compared to 32° and 63° for the 2GB version. Those are all small but significant differences, given that nothing has changed other than the SoC.

As to the exact functionality that was removed from the chip for the 2GB version of the Pi, the company hasn’t gotten specific. But Geerling speculates that it’s mostly related to functionality that’s being handled by the custom RP1 I/O chip—RP1 handles the Ethernet and USB controllers, display interfaces, and GPIO, among other things.

So is it worth stepping down to a 2 GB Pi 5 just to get the simpler D0 chip? No. But is it cool to have a cheaper 2 gig option exist? Yes. Just make sure you have a use case for it that doesn’t need a ton of RAM.^[1]

FTFY: Fuck Google Alphabet. They’re too lazy profitable to care to do anything correct.

Thanks for sharing!

Although he claimed that he was 22 years old, he was actually 18.

Poe served for two years, attaining the rank of Sergeant Major for Artillery, the highest rank that a non-commissioned officer could achieve. He then sought to end his five-year enlistment early.

Poe revealed his real name and his actual circumstances to his commanding officer, Lieutenant Howard, who promised to allow Poe to be honorably discharged if he reconciled with Allan.

Perhaps softened by his wife’s death, Allan agreed to support Poe’s desire to receive an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.[26]

Poe was finally discharged on April 15, 1829, after securing a replacement to finish his enlistment.

Poe traveled to West Point and matriculated as a cadet on July 1, 1830.[32] In October 1830, Allan married his second wife Louisa Patterson.[33] This marriage and the bitter quarrels with Poe over children born to Allan out of extramarital affairs led to the foster father finally disowning Poe.[34] Poe then decided to leave West Point by intentionally getting court-martialed. On February 8, 1831, he was tried for gross neglect of duty and disobedience of orders for refusing to attend formations, classes, and church. Knowing he would be found guilty, Poe pleaded not guilty to the charges in order to induce dismissal.[35]

Awesome!

Crying is an important safety valve, largely because keeping difficult feelings inside — what psychologists call repressive coping — can be bad for our health. Studies have linked repressive coping with a less resilient immune system, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, as well as with mental health conditions, including stress, anxiety, and depression. Crying has also been shown to increase attachment behavior, encouraging closeness, empathy, and support from friends and family.

Scientists divide the liquid product of crying into three distinct categories: reflex tears, continuous tears, and emotional tears. The first two categories perform the important function of removing debris such as smoke and dust from our eyes, and lubricating our eyes to help protect them from infection. Their content is 98% water.

It’s the third category, emotional tears (which flush stress hormones and other toxins out of our system), that potentially offers the most health benefits. Researchers have established that crying releases oxytocin and endogenous opioids, also known as endorphins. These feel-good chemicals help ease both physical and emotional pain. Popular culture, for its part, has always known the value of a good cry as a way to feel better — and maybe even to experience physical pleasure. The millions of people who watched classic tearjerker films such as West Side Story or Titanic (among others) will likely attest to that fact.

There are times when crying can be a sign of a problem, especially if it happens very frequently and/or for no apparent reason, or when crying starts to affect daily activities or becomes uncontrollable. Conversely, people suffering from certain kinds of clinical depression may actually not be able to cry, even when they feel like it. In any of these situations, it would be best to see a medical professional who can help diagnose the problem and suggest appropriate treatment.
