That's funny, but I love content created by individuals and small teams, especially the maker/engineering channels. I'll take that over corporate produced media any day, even if it means paying a corporation to serve that content to me.
They also have one of the best business models for creators, meaning people producing content can do it full time and make a good living off of it, instead of doing it as a charity and producing mediocre quality videos.
I agree with all your points, not using the service is absolutely an option. I suggested paying for premium because that was the option that made the most sense to me. I hate ads and love YouTube. For me, the value I get from a subscription is much higher than other services I pay for. I'm subscribed to probably 500 YouTube channels and probably watch between 50-100 hours of content per month.
Like many other business they offer an ad funded service and a paid service. I understand this is Lemmy, and people love getting things for free. But if you don't like ads, have you thought about paying for the service?
Have you considered paying for their ad free service?
They don't have anything they can use against her right now. They want to get her in office for a few months so they can attack every single choice she makes.
Maybe now's the best time to mix things up. This could be the last election before the fall of the democracy, why not go all out? I'm actually really excited for this move, and despite a little uncertainty at first I'm fully onboard.
Honestly, I can't think of a better time for it to happen. On the one hand we have youth and social progress, on the other we have a geriatric felon that wants to become a dictator. I can't think of a better final battle for this country.
I'll reiterate, if it was a null pointer exception (I honestly don't know that it was, but every comment I've made is based on that assumption, so let's go with it for now) then I absolutely can blame C++, and the code author, and the code reviewer, and QA. Many links in the chain failed here.
C++ is not a memory safe language, and while it's had massive improvements in that area in the last two decades, there are languages that make better guarantees about memory safety.
Thank you. Finally someone understands. Jokes aside though, I think we can acknowledge that C/C++ have caused decades of problems due to their lack of memory safety.
Maybe I heard some bad information, but I thought the issue was caused by a null pointer exception in C/C++ code. If you have a link to a technical analysis of the issue I would be interested to read it.
C++ is the problem. C++ is an unsafe language that should definitely not be used for kernel space code in 2024.
I never said that you said those things. You said you were the last generation to understand technology and not just use it, which is quite frankly ridiculous and untrue - especially for anyone with work ethic and intelligence.
Get off your high horse old man. Millennials were born into technology, molded by it. We live and breathe it, and also grew up in a world where things most definitely did not just work.
I think you significantly underestimate the ingenuity and problem solving abilities of the younger generations. My Gen Z coworkers are extremely smart and hard working and understand how things work just as well, if not better than older generations.
Good point, I misread your original comment.
I don't know what Canada's system is like, but I've heard it's harder to immigrate to Canada than the US, and it is not easy to immigrate to the US. You have to get your green card sponsored by a company or marry a citizen, there's a ridiculous amount of paperwork, and depending on what country you're from there can be a years long queue to get your green card application reviewed and approved. I would be interested to hear from a Canadian if it's a similar process.
I'm not sure how old you are, but George Bush won the popular vote in 2004. That was the last time a Republican won the popular vote.
Sushi is quite popular in the US, so probably.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I thought this was widely known. You diet to lose weight and you exercise to gain muscle and cardiorespiratory fitness.
