How to become a soap opera writer

That’s much better. Op turns into soup in the laser*(edit: damn autocorrect) scene

Did YouTube decrease the bitrate again?

Personally just decided to ‘practice’ all day everyday at school without coming out to people. Had to keep a water bottle with me all the time to keep my throat from drying out. I’ve found that speaking brighter sounds more feminine but takes more air, which causes dryout.

They say that they don’t have a minimum speed requirement and the speedtest result doesn’t affect your application. Also considering that they specify that you choose the node geographically closest to you (instead of the lowest latency one) and the only other information in the test is latency, it does sound like they’re either looking for vpns or your location.

IP is quite unreliable when it comes to geolocation, especially if you have a dynamic ip

Their speedtest requirement also seems to be about geolocating you.

Edit: Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don’t even mention ogg? And what’s the point of uploading both cbr and vbr mp3s? Isn’t it ogg>aac>mp3 vbr>mp3 cbr quality wise?

On other news, welcome to my blog adshittification. The blog that uncovers the sinister truth about the ads being shown in your throat! This week’s highlights:

• Youtube still hasn’t stopped ruining my week by filling up those precious few seconds between opening a video and going fullscreenwith intrusive ads that cover a quarter of your screen, and still even then you can’t stop the wall of ads that show up after the video finishes:
  

• I opened up steam to play some factorio to calm my nerves, but I got greeted by an illegal ad telling me to kill myself:
  

• So instead I opened library home to play something alse, only to be assaulted by more ads at the top!
  

• I decided to give up trying to play. Normally I would open reddit next but I haven’t been using it since they put promotions in the post screen:
  

• Thankfully lemmy is immune to such corporate bs
  
  No lemmy-chan not you too!

It’s upsetting how news outlets can now call anything an ad to generate outrage and people here just eat it up. Something about that word seems to turn people’s brains off and they start commenting misinformation.

This is:
A feature to show you news from the game you’re about to play.
Badly designed since it can’t be turned off and it covers the entire screen.
Prone to abuse for ads.

This is not:
An ad.
A money making venture by sony.
Unique to playstation.

Aren’t all lights led nowadays? I don’t think the type of the light is the problem

It’s using ai image recognition and I doubt it’s the world’s first to do so.

How is the link file executing malware? Can you put any shell script as the target?

Who’s being exploited? It’s not like the app hides its true nature until you pay. People are upset at the idea of paying it something they don’t want to but that’s a completely imaginary scenario, those who think it’s good will pay for it and those who don’t won’t. I don’t think that justifies calling the guy names and assuming how he must’ve become (or has always been) a bad person.

I’ve no idea what you mean by legitimacy of YouTube, but if you think things like this hurt it wouldn’t it help to not have a big outrage that makes it reach even more people? Let it have a quiet death and maybe the media will stop creating these weekly how-dare-you-make-a-bad-product dramas

Nintendo noticed ai exists just now and thus dodged the hype cycle

I don’t understand why the internet is unable to say “I don’t like this app, so I won’t pay for it” rather than “I don’t like this app, so you’re a bad person”. Hundreds of people raging over and catastrophising something they never bought or even heard of until now.

There needs to be space like ::: spoiler

Huh, jerboa doesn’t render it as a spoiler and I remember seeing somewhere that it had a ‘correct’ lemmy markdown implementation

Try again and again with a full enchantment table. But finding a villager feels much easier to me

Space before spoiler

Is this klwp? How did you make them move with the accelerometer?

… an html file that loads a video from the api servers. They’re still hosting the videos, no?

Wait so this is an api to… Build piracy streaming websites?? And they claim they’re immune to dmca? Why not just make their own website?
