And yet my own skills and experience are still at my fingertips.

I’m just hoping whatever comes next isn’t space junk that makes colonization and satellites in general impossible.

The sooner the better. Less LLM infatuation means better customer service, less overall environmental impact, and more water available to cities.

C’mon, be fair. Country writers are toiling in their Victorian libraries to come up with such literary marvels as rhyming “suds” and “buds.”

There are only so many words in the English language to describe one’s ideal pickup truck going down a long dirt road.

I pay for it. Finding good results in the first page saves me time and I enjoy the optional AI filters and domain-based weighting.

And welcome to the jam!

I think you would have an easier time searching for those who didn’t.

“I never visited that island with its dated room decor, poor WiFi signal and awful water pressure in the showers after 8am.”

That $7/myth also likely involves 30% platform fee surcharges. If there were more Peertubes and similar federated or community-owned models the fee could lower as more money goes directly to the creators.

If there was an easy solution more people would be doing it already. Just food for thought.

It’s going to take a big cultural shift to get enough people to pay content creators through subscriptions to compete with ad-driven models.

Eventually YouTube’s hubris will cross the line where enough people will just assume the ads are so bad it’s not worth trying to watch a video. As somebody with technical means and no tolerance for ads I’m astonished more people aren’t there yet.

The black screen on the TV could be related to your TV’s HDR settings. Only recent TVs have started to decrease that temporary stutter between SDR/HDR.

It was annoying as hell in ad rolls before I started to pay for YT lite so my kid wouldn’t be advertised to.

No longer paying since they shuttered the YT Kids app on TvOS.
