Also worth noting is that it's only available to your primary YouTube account. For me that somehow became a different one created when they foisted Google Circle on everyone. So my actual YT account, that I use every day and matches my email address, can't access my saved YT music. I have to change YouTube profiles to listen to it, which I do on occasion.

I know this is the politics community so forgive me for saying "this comment aside," but we really need to figure out a cheaper and cleaner way to desalinate seawater.

I wonder if Mozilla would've benefitted if something like Hello was still around when the pandemic hit. Hello was a Firefox feature that made video chatting easy. You just needed to click the link.

Great point. I already find this to be a problem with the recommendations that pop up when paused, and the end-video elements they throw over everything despite having that turned off everywhere I can find it. It's all so dumb. Just so damn dumb.

A string is just a collection of characters, in programmer speak. When you use quotation marks in your search to find exactly what you want. If your search was:

dog "fast drive"

Google used to show results that only had both the word "dog" and the joined phrase "fast drive" in the same result. Or tell you there were no results.

Now it feels like Google uses that as a suggestion, giving you "dog" and any combination of "fast drive", "fast driver", "fast driving", or whatever else Google thinks you want, instead of what you asked for. Or if they don't find it, they serve you up whatever they want, with a small message about there being no matching results.

This was going to be my recommendation, so I'm happy to see it.

Around the same time I also watched The Besieged Fortress. It's about an ant colony attacking a termite mound. It's staged, but handled as it might happen in real life, and narrated as if it's some massive siege in medieval times. It's fantastic.

Good luck getting to some place you're happy being.

Funny, with a harsh ring of truth. I actually would be interested if they could dual boot with the game on a partition. That would make the transition to Linux easy too. But ultimately as it is, it's "use Windows, or say to hell with playing games with your family". I'm lucky that I still enjoy playing games with them, and them with me, so I gotta stick with that.

I love the idea of using Linux. But then I end up playing Warzone every weekend with my family. Can't give that up. The best part is that they want kernel access, and still have cheating problems, apparently. (Must be higher than my level!) But it still inherently affects me, as they won't port to Linux.

If someone posts a copyright violation on YouTube, YouTube can go free under the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA. (In the US.) YouTube just points a finger at the user and says "it's their fault", because the user owns (or claims to own) the content. YouTube is just hosting it.

I don't know of any reason to think it's not the same for written works. User posts them, Reddit hosts them, user still owns them. Like YouTube, the user gives the host a lot of license for that content, so that they can technically copy and transmit it. But ultimately the user owns it. I assume by the time Reddit made the AI deal they probably put in wording to include "selling a copy of the data" to active they want in the TOS.

Now, determining if the TOS holds up in court is of course trickier. And did they even make us click our permission away again after they added it, it just change something we already clicked? I don't recall.

Sounds less like the problem is sports and more like the problem is school is also universal daycare.

The contemporary Modern Warfare series is a remake of the original series. At least a general new take on a lot from that series. It isn't 1:1 by far.

Instead of letting you launch each game individually, or creating a general launcher that you start and then pick the game you want to play... They chose to force players to launch MW2 as a fake hub, and in that game's main menu, click the MW3 option.

The article says you can tell because apparently if you want to play MW2 you just pick the game type and it starts starving for a match. If you want to play MW3 you have to wait as MW2 shuts down and you wait for MW3 to start, after you already waited for MW2 to start initially.
