YouTube Premium Is Not Ad-Free as Advertised, Class Action Lawsuit Claims in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (10 children)

Ads or promotions may also appear during live events streamed on YouTube, such as sporting events.

I don't have strong opinions but it looks like they're referring to this phrasing in the ToS which suggests ads will only appear in sporting events. That's the ToS connection. But otherwise, they advertise YouTube as an ad free experience which just isn't true.

You can't advertise one thing and then just add "nah j/k" in the ToS and think you're off the hook

TIL that the US spans about 10% of the Earth's circumference in c/til@lemmy.world

That's driving distance. And if you're ignoring latitude and focusing on the lower 48 states, why not measure diagonally?

Google plans to exempt sanctioned nations from Android developer verification in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I'm basing this on OP's comment

Someone in Cuba or Iran can keep installing APKs with no new restrictions, but devs will suffer.

I don't want to distribute apps, I just want to be able to install whatever I want on the hardware I own.

If you could make a clone of yourself that has all your memories etc, would you do it? You wouldn't know which one of you was the clone and you'd only have one set of government documents etc, so you would share your drivers license, government ids, tax returns, bank accounts, etc. Would you do it?

If open weight models are the future, U.S. AI companies are going to have a hard time in c/technology@lemmy.world

I've got 128GB RAM + 24GB VRAM on a 4090. I've managed to get a 400B parameter model running on a single board computer with 64GB RAM by using MMAP. But I want to run Kimi K3 locally so I would need a lot more RAM / bandwidth

Strait To War - a Strait of Hormuz blockade tanker transit game (straittowar.com)
 

I made, "Strait to War", where you have to get a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. You can't pick your side, you just spawn in as either a tanker, an Iranian drone, or a US frigate. You have an objective but there is no real winning the game. It's an anti-war game disguised as a war game.

Sound doesn't work yet. Let me know what you think. I will add Iranian speed boats next. And I have no idea how it will scale with lots of users.

Is it impolite to crosspost someone else's post to another community on Lemmy without saying anything? (lemmy.ca)
 

cross-posted from: https://piefed.europe.pub/c/asklemmy/p/266879/is-it-impolite-to-crosspost-someone-else-s-post-to-another-community-on-lemmy-witho

I feel like on mainstream social media this is done pretty thoughtlessly and it's a norm but on Lemmy, with the much smaller userbase, I kinda felt like... it's like riding on someone else's coat tails? Or is it just me? > > Edit: of course if it's artwork or text, obviously then I'd make it explicitly clear it's not mine but I mean news articles, memes, things like that.

Do these look like fake cigarettes or used tampons? (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm going to a cabaret show tonight and I wanted to get in costume. I tried to make some fake cigarettes but now I'm worried I'll these will make me look like a perverted vampire. What's the consensus team?

The Canada US border along the Detroit river should move 250km north to reduce tariffs for the automotive industry (lemmy.ca)
 

This may be an unpopular opinion but we should consider moving the Canada / US border 250km north along the Detroit river. Moving the border north 250km would reduce the amount of cross border trips for the automotive industry negating a lot of the tariff issues. And I don't think the geniuses ruling the US would realize that moving the border north along this stretch would result in Canada gaining over 9000km² of land.

The reason this may be unpopular is because Canada would inherit the Detroit Red Wings.

I'm not affiliated with Michaud Toys, I'm just a very happy customer. The craftsmanship is amazing. Prices and delivery costs were very reasonable too ($45 for the board + $15 for delivery to Belleville Ontario). Their website has loads of games michaudtoys.org

Purple mash potatoes (lemmy.ca)
 

My 3yo wanted purple mash potatoes, it didn’t really work because I used yellow potatoes. Then my 3yo decided she didn’t want potatoes so my wife and I were stuck eating prison gruel.
