You are correct, I’m on ESR apparently.

Looks like that’s coming in Firefox 117 (we’re at 115 currently).

what does it even matter. Just ignore it.

Society isn’t really good at knowing what it requires. And sometimes it’s better to be cautious. Also capitalism breaks down in certain markets, one of which is the “job market”.

Any market that involves a lot of players and little oversight will get manipulated like crazy, including the job market. Employers try to counter that, but in the end the people that are best at getting hired for a job get that job, not the people that are best at doing that job. How could it not be?

And that includes the jobs of the people that do the hiring. So it’s a market that’s rife with inefficiencies.

It’s not just that the person would be expensive. Systems like that require system specific knowledge. So it’s possible that it would take an outsider 3 months of study to get to the point where they can fix an issue properly in 5 minutes.

You can’t make a baby in 1 month with 9 mothers. Some tasks just have an upfront cost and SOME IT automation jobs are like that.

And yes, you can try and do bodge job after bodge job “just to keep it going”. And that works for some time. But eventually the small mistakes end up causing large outages. And then you need someone that can piece together how the small issues cause big outages.

Self censorship is the best kind of censorship. If you’re an oppressor of speech, that is.

That’s probably 150 aborted campaigns totaling 900 hours and two completed 25 hour each campaigns. Source: I’m at around 1500 hours, maybe 2000. A lot of it predates steam, so I don’t know exactly.

I’ve only completed one campaign ever. At some point you know you’ve won and you’re just steamrolling. So why bother.

Like driving a Ferrari with a Honda engine.

You know that’s a thing, right?

Some people just want lossless media.

And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.

There’s an unwritten deal, you know. Youtube lets us block and in return, we allow Youtube to know we block. Because if we take that away from Youtube, Youtube no longer has reliable viewer statistics and the price of their ads will go down.

Now it seems Youtube wants to break the deal (and they can, unless we start pirating Youtube content, they can at the very least make us sit through a minute of black screen before each video). They probably think the damage that will be done is less than the additional income that the subscriptions generate.

it’s just the same old story. Grow, grow, grow, wait until you’ve got a monopoly, now squeeeeeeeeze the profit.

Twitter, Reddit, now Youtube. Welcome to the age of enshittification.

If you read it, it becomes clear that the issue is that Colorado wrote a stalking law that is in conflict with the first amendment. Something that can easily be corrected going forward, if it hasn’t been corrected already.

So he was convicted in Colorado, but the proof for that conviction was not good enough for a federal court.

There would have been more and there were probably more such posts. These kind of safe spaces inevitably attract trolls looking for the wrong kind of attention.
