Boggled my mind since I had a hand pump.

61·5 months agoSouthport was a tinderbox, but the current trends if you’re actually from the UK shows that there’s a bonfire incoming.
You only have to watch a couple of YouTube live streams…wait. Tomorrow I wait for age gating to see if Google is that…nefarious in stopping me watching YTP vids without a passport.
Ima gonna giggle

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit will block the Internet ArchiveEnglish
2·5 months agoI wanna see if YouTube is that stupid they send my 18+ year old YT account an age verification check. April 2007 feels like a long time ago…
Dumping YT / gMaps / Google SSO etc and replacing them bit by bit is a hard vice to break, but I’ve got others using self hosted shit now (yay Immich and Jellyseerr arr…) and I’ll keep on doing it for others too.

2·6 months agoYou got me curious, because while I don’t have the app installed for the longest time I do have a female fam member who used to demolish me in rewards and still uses it.
But, only blocks adverts at (yay Adguard)home while on WiFi and pretty sure she doesn’t have PrivateDNS enabled.
Seems she’s only getting surveys whilst out and about shopping so I’ve asked her to enable her exit node at home next time shopping.
For science…

6·6 months agoThis, and something to note is never lie to Google Rewards as you’ll then stop getting surveys altogether if they catch you out with their trap questions
Have you ever visited XYZ waterpark
If you haven’t, even if it’s a real place just say no and wait for the next survey because they’ll trip you up trying.

Pretty old since I haven’t nuked it yet, but I’m not even signed in above as you can see from the above screenshot

I should really login sometime to see if I have lots of threats from mister greedy Spez piggy again, but the headline here doesn’t match up to me trying it in the UK rn.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.English
1·7 months agoSee the thing is I know it offends many
Indianspeople when they shittalkpost about their respective countries.A quick skim of your post history shows you like Joe Rogan, and stuff from Yankland and their politics.
But the most funny thing is when people get offended by “bad news” from their “Country”. I’m from the UK and some of the shit we see in the news is hilariously stupid these days and I take shitposting with a pinch of salt. You should try it too ;)
ninjaedit for example: “Oi mate, did u get stabbed 'cause u didn’t av a TV Lociense fella?”

Technology@lemmy.ml•Self-hosting your own media considered harmful according to YouTubeEnglish
8·8 months agoAre people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?
Of course they are, and you can stream the media or download it via many other means including youtube-dl.
They also still actively thwart users who are on a CG-NAT’ed connection so I ponder if the legality is now starting to bog them down.

Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish
1·8 months agoI have, and that’s my point.
I’m a lowly drone pilot that isn’t really made to understand what those lights mean but did out of my sheer curiosity.
But the average pedestrian is going to take some, teaching?

Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish
11·8 months agoPossibly, and I’d be interested in some sort of 360° LED on top of a vehicle to indicate to pedestrians and other drivers alike of its (de)acceleration.
But jamming some non standard colours in what is a long term understanding on the front of a vehicle I can’t really get with and would like to see the impact to people with partial / colour blindness with using such a system.
Like, does the average pedestrian know what the green and red lights mean on an aircraft? I bet not.

Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish
7·8 months agoLike someone said in the hnews comments, this might work for auto transmission but with manual gearing you’ve got people using engine braking on hills.
Also like stated in the article the colouring is going to be an issue and trying to see some green lights whilst the headlights are on (full beam fog lights perhaps too?) doesn’t seem practicable to me.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated article summaries to WikipediaEnglish
3·8 months agoBut in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse
Maths is a really good example of this.
At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don’t exercise that sponge…), it becomes lazy.




I liked their inflection via video editing with their suffering
