Every time I see something about tinder it’s just worse and worse. why would I want to use it?
I’m a weeb girl who’s fringe in a lot of ways. Please excuse my weird beliefs, I don’t bite :3
Political views: far left economics (socialism), conservative/traditional social views. I’m an ex-atheist, turned christian gnostic. I’m happy to chat. No hate, just pursuit of truth and proper living.
Hobbies/Interests: weebshit (anime/manga/japan), video games, romhacking, ai/tech, girly cute pink stuff, politics/religion is fun. I like the occult and conspiracy stuff too.

waterfox is just a fork of firefox with seemingly no real benefits. I’d rather stay on the original build.
It’s the only non-chrome browser. And the only browser I can customize and that does what I want. I’ve been waiting for arc to release so I can try it out, but it seems like the development on it is taking literally forever.
I have pretty strict criteria for a browser, and really only firefox meets them. Chrome is way too locked down for me. And firefox has slowly been getting worse unfortunately.
If you’re going through a music label then ask the company you’re working with. They absolutely get paid per view (as per the pre-roll ads) if you aren’t managing the uploads yourself. But what they pay you may be different depending on what they’re doing.
Youtube content creators get paid via a few different methods:
Pre-roll and mid-roll ads. This is youtube’s actual and intended monetization method. These are ads that play that are separate from the video and are personalized per-user. They often have a “skip” button you can click after a few seconds. Youtube pays creators per view for these ads. You should check youtube’s monetization section on the channel settings to set this all up.
Sponsors. These are baked into the video where the content creator usually goes something like “Yeah I enjoy my switch, but do you know what I like more? raid shadow legends!” These are one-time payments made prior to the video’s release, and are not paid per view. The view count on the video and whether or not people are actually watching the sponsored section is irrelevant.
Patreon and other patreon-like services. These are entirely unrelated to viewcount or ads, and are just people paying monthly on some other site (typically patreon or locals) to help fund the channel.
For music, I’m not sure at all how the youtube music platform works. But afaik youtube music is just youtube videos in a different format, so you’d be going with method #1 with the pre-roll ads.
Typically youtube’s monetization model requires that you actually set things up, and in order to do so you need to meet particular criteria (particular subscriber counts, view counts, etc). I know musicians work with music labels, so that may work differently depending on what’s going on for you. But if you’re specifically managing a youtube channel where you upload videos, then #1 applies and just check the monetization section. I don’t think it’s “by default”.
The custom-made “sponsors” sections that are baked into the video are not paid per view. You can freely skip them without harming the content creator. iirc they get paid per video upload, not per view. it’s only the “live” separate ads that appear prior to the video, mid-roll, etc. that they get paid per view (and would be missing if you block them).
My joke was about how some apartments charge you “pet rent” if you have a pet. Naturally, your cat needs to pay his own rent.
as people say for hate speech laws: “if you aren’t wanting to show children anything sexual, then there shouldn’t be a problem. what do you wish to show kids that you think may be considered sexual?”
naturally gov overreach is a concern even for speech but that doesn’t stop people from trying to regulate speech.
I think ultimately though with the system in place mentioned, it wouldn’t completely block access to educational materials as parents could easily show that stuff to their kids if they so choose.
most cats will only pay for their share of the pet rent. if you can find a sugar kitty you’re pretty lucky.
Personally I believe that there should be at least some attempt to protect kids from seeing adult content online. Ideally of course it’d be parental responsibility, but having some sort of system in place would be good. I think the tech around porn as it currently exists is deeply harmful, both for children and for women. I’m not against porn as a thing, but like… come on, we can’t just be spreading around videos without any sort of filters and removing it from the control of the people featured in the video.
There’s not a good technical solution for these problems just yet it seems. I think the idea of age verification on-device, and then sending an 18+ or minor flag to apps/sites/etc. would be a good solution. We already click on a “I’m 18+” button, and this is functionally the equivalent but having age verification going on completely offline. Yes, people could bypass that with technical knowhow, but the point isn’t to stop adults, it’s to largely prevent kids from seeing this stuff.
I was wondering their reasoning, here:
We have publicly supported mandatory age verification of viewers of adult content for years, but any method of age verification must preserve user privacy and safety.
Basically, they don’t disagree with mandatory verification, they just wish for it to do so in a way that doesn’t violate the privacy of adults legitimately accessing the content.
Their suggestion for this is:
The only solution that makes the internet safer, preserves user privacy, and stands to prevent children from accessing age inappropriate content is performing age verification at the device level.
Essentially, do age verification on-device, and have the device send the okay to view signal to the site. This is something websites cannot implement on their own, until device/os developers implement such. I agree this is a good solution, but I think it’ll be difficult to push tech companies to do this without further legislation.
I think it might be good to seek the EU to require tech companies to implement such a on-device feature, which will naturally roll out to all tech devices.
Edit: these quotes are from the porn company, not the court.
People aren’t allowed to produce similar styles to other humans? So do you support disney preventing anyone from making cartoons?
It’s actually not copyright infringement at all.
Edit: and even if it was, copyright infringement is a moral right, it’s a good thing. copyright is theft.
this is exactly what came to mind for me as well
I like this idea provided it’s 100% opt-IN and not opt-out. Nintendo’s 3ds streetpass did something like this and it’s very cool being able to see what other people are in your area with a 3ds. A social media focused on this would be pretty neat IMO.
there’s no distinction. people are just robophobic.
no one’s art is being “stolen”. you’re mistaken.
Futurama is literally a comedy about everyday life (in the future), and black mirror is literally a commentary on modern day life. Perhaps watch stuff that isn’t focused around parodying or doing comedy on real life stuff?
That said, a lot of metahumor and political commentary ends up in western media these days because the people making and controlling the stuff have this fetishization of deconstruction and attacking everyday things. Hence why it’s so rampant, even in places it doesn’t belong.
this would be nice. the amount of skills and knowledge I’ve forgotten after painstakingly learning it is too damn high.
