Google screwed up like a lot of companies do. YouTube was never profitable to run. They were just burning through cash to keep the lights on and become the number one video host online.

Internally there became a mandate to try and turn it into a profit making machine and the advertisers caught wind so they stepped in with their demands knowing that they were going to be the source of the profits. This is where the content restrictions started to happen as videos needed to become ad friendly.

I wish YouTube would have figured out another path to help provide the service and pay video creators. At least with Premium you don’t get ads and Sponsor Skip means you don’t see embedded VPN and game sponsors.

Mine took almost three weeks. Was sat in customs for days and then out for delivery for three days because my address was labelled incorrectly.

I just got a Q5 Pro myself and use the End key all the time so I reworked the keys and flashed the firmware.

[del] is now [PrnScn]

[pgup] is [del] / [insert] (Using + [fn] key)

[pgdn] is [home] / [pgup]

[home] is [end] / [pgdn]

I’ll have to order new keycaps to match, but so far it’s felt good to use that way and I find that the only time I mispress is when I look at the keyboard.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos “digging” into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

Not dying.

Us (humans) vs. Them (aliens)

It was a “trust me bro” claim that the media blindly ate up.

According to witnesses, there was a strong smell of gas before the blast.

Might be important. Given the wild nature of events right now, this might not be a terrorist related event.

Running the Memmy update today with dark mode and I had moments where my brain thought I was scrolling through Apollo. Gonna be very happy with the app if it continues down this route.

I go on there once or twice a day, I find I get to see posts about things I don’t see elsewhere and I like that the conversation often has people from within certain tech-sub spaces or even within the companies being discussed.

more than 300 subreddits had committed to staying dark indefinitely, SpicyThunder335 said. The list included some hugely popular subreddits, like r/aww (more than 34 million subscribers), r/music (more than 32 million subscribers), and r/videos (more than 26 million subscribers). Even r/nba committed to an indefinite timeframe at arguably the most important time of the NBA season. But SpicyThunder335 invited moderators to share pledges to keep the protests going, and the commitments are rolling in.

spez is playing his hand too soon. If he’s trying to play this down as a bit of noise that will pass, then it’s just a signal to keep it going.

please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.

sigh. That feels like he’s angling at being the victim here and trying to pull his staff along with him.

The recall covers certain 2022 and 2023 Grand Cherokee and 2021 to 2023 Grand Cherokee L SUVs.

Important bit.
