Redd's really going to put his foot up Hyde's ass for this one
  • I musta missed the rape joke. I just took this as an acknowledgment and maybe slight celebration that a sex offender is going to jail.

    Edit: I forgot I’m on my beehaw account and see a much smaller portion of the comments

  • Recommendations of non-Apple products with similar longevity?
  • Idk all the particulars, I just know my S7 is still not bootloader unlockable, and pretty sure previous galaxy phones weren’t either. That was my last Samsung. Not sure if this was a US thing, a T-Mobile/Sprint think (who I had back then), or a Samsung thing. But HTC and Pixel phones seemed to always be unlockable.

  • I dont like drama
  • There are models for detecting adult material, idk how well they’d work on CSAM though. Additionally, there exists a hash identification system for known images, idk if it’s available to the public, but I know apple has it.

    Idk, but we gotta figure out something

  • Amazon Workers Delivered Packages During Destructive Tropical Storm
  • Unless something’s changed recently, gig workers are not, in practice, independent contractors. At best you get to pick your schedule, but even that can come with penalties to your algorithmically assigned jobs. It’s full on employment minus all the benefits.

  • iPhone vs Android
  • CPM on tech, finance, and health (a lot of what I watch) is often $5-10. And apparently google pays creators even more than that rate for premium viewers.

    Even so, direct payment is likely to be more profitable to creators than just watching ads or having premium.

    But even as a technical person, I’ve never really been interested in finding ways to block ads on my PC, MacBook, iPhone, Android (when I had one), and Roku/AppleTV. And potentially having to keep up with the apparently changing landscape of YouTube adblocker a for each. Sounds like a pain in the ass. I’d rather just pay for family premium, and easily share the benefits with my mom, sister, & wife without having to offer technical support for their ad blocking.

  • Relaying of Mastodon hashtags to Lemmy instances
  • Kbin has a separate tab within a community called “microblog” I think. Any hashtags set by the community are automatically followed in the “microblog” feed and can be fully interacted with.

    This doesn’t bring threadiverse content into mastodon, but it does bring kbin users at least, into mastodon.

    And with the @ing of lemmy communities, you can post from mastodon to lemmy. There’s some work to be done, for sure, but I think we’re close to a decent solution.

    But also, 100% compatibility would be odd, wouldn’t you just switch platforms if you wanted the different functionality.

  • Its been an interesting morning
  • no no no, its not a critique specifically of you. Native english speakers do this all the time. And I'm sure its inevitable that "comparatively" will make that transition too.

    I'm interested: is there a german word to replace "vergleichsweise " to more explicitly mean "comparison"?

  • Its been an interesting morning
  • True, true...

    Aside: Back in my day, we could use the term "relatively" to mean "in relation to" some other thing. Over time it became "in relation to the average thing" instead of a specific thing. Now it just means "a little bit"/"sort of". Now people use "comparatively" to convey what "relatively" used to mean. Except... you just now seem to be making that same "relatively" transition with the word "comparatively". I just find language interesting, and wonder what the next "relatively" will be once that meaning has been lost even to "comparatively".

  • has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature?
  • Idk, I watch a lot, a variety too. I thumbs content, mark not interested. And my recommendations are an absurd over representation of the last 3 or so topics I’ve recently viewed mixed with a small selection of my subscriptions it’s decided I want to watch.

  • Casually Explained: Photography

    He keeps talking about DSLRs in a mirrorless world, but aside from that, this is wonderfully stupid funny.

    Anyone recommend a good ADHD psychiatrist in the area?

    Recently moved here, really struggling with my ADHD and want to see a legit psychiatrist to find the best course of action for me.

    If they happen to accept Aetna, great, otherwise I’m willing to pay a decent amount out of pocket to get out of this ADHD depression rut I’m in.
