Yeah, that’s what we want: A guy who couldn’t handle waking up in an emergency. /s

Face it libs, he looked like he was ready to croak. And I fucking HATE Donald Trump. But you are pulling another notorious RBG if you think keeping Biden in the race is good for the country. Instead, it’s just becoming easy to see who the neolib shills really are; they’re the only ones desperate enough to defend this.

For real put in literally anyone else and you can beat Trump. Fucking literally ANYONE.

Are those posts/comments/images available on other instances?

If an instance just shuts down, we just lose all that content? Sounds like a pretty fatal flaw.

See, it must have made their passwords easier to guess…

Rent seeking, theft/copyright infringement, walled garden you can’t escape (if Microsoft holds all your files good luck getting them back on Linux)

Microsoft needs to die.

SmashBurger did the same and also had a spicy version that was awesome; also gone 😔

Hey guys not to be a downer but like…what DO we do when a federated instance goes down and takes all its content with it?

Oh my god, I saw a meme about this and I didn’t think it was really a photo from the event.

God he sucks

Correct. 65% of all human internet traffic is unmodified Chrome.

When Firefox was slow, Internet Explorer was clunky and didn’t render anything correctly, and scrappy upstart with a “Don’t be evil” slogan and great search engine Google came out with a new fast, memory efficient web browser, all us nerds ran out and told everyone “look! The internet doesn’t suck anymore! Use Chrome!” We were all amazed that we could have like 5 tabs open on our PCs with a whole gigabyte of RAM.

The normies echoed this through time, never unchanging - “my kid says ‘Chrome’ is the good one”. Even when sites started breaking when viewed in other browsers…didn’t we just finish fighting this “standards” war? Isn’t this what we destroyed Internet Explorer for?

Mist-Alovoa ‘lovoa, alovoa, Mmm

They call me mista bombastic

Gitlab can be self-hosted. GitHub is a cloud-only service.

So they could do git.mozilla.com and it would be their own instance of git, on their own hardware (or, probably, from their own AWS account). They control it entirely.

This is why Chrome browsers wanted Manifest v3 or whatever- they took away the APIs for extensions to do stuff like that.

Instructions unclear, I installed something called “Project Bluefin”?

Seems if the messages are sent in an inherently insecure fashion, all one would need to do is set up an instance that purposefully does not filter out all the things it’s supposed to be kind/competent enough to filter out, and boom it has everything.

The ads are not part of the stored video file, they are sent in as chunks of the stream in place of the actual video. When the ad is done, the regular video starts playing again. They are not “editing in” anything to be permanently stored as part of an uploaded video.

Imagine thinking they can’t detect when you try to skip forward during an ad.

All of that targeting data lives on Google’s servers already. Your computer isn’t trying to figure out who you are and what you like each ad play, Google already knows who you are when your browser makes a request for a video. Everything you are talking about is already server-side.

The ads won’t be baked in beforehand, they’ll be injected into the stream in real time. Videos are broken into chunks and sent over HTTP, they’ll just put ad chunks in during playback. There is no need to re-encode anything. If you deep link to a timestamp, the video just starts from that timestamp as normal. If you are a Premium user, the server just never injects the ads.

But you are correct that the client needs to be aware that ads are happening, so they can be indicated on screen, and so click-throughs are activated.

This is why Chrome went to Manifest v3 - so you can’t have any code looking for ad signals running on the page to try to counter it.

This is true, no matter what ElevethHour and their downvote brigade want you to believe.

This is not true, creators get paid for Premium user views.
