Healthcare solved rule
  • All it really takes is one person with a now terminal illness that has previously been denied lifesaving healthcare to decide they want to take someone with them on the way down. I'm sure there are quite a few people in the US in that situation.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I do, but only because the UX around federated entities isn't great at the moment. There's no doubt that it could be made way more intuitive and streamlined for the average user, and that more effort could be put into migration between federated entities so that it doesn't feel like as much of a chore to jump between instances. The average user won't care about federation, and they just want to quickly get some content.

  • Guess I'll fry
  • 10°C. Coats out, heating on.

    Never know what it'll be tomorrow though. Might be 28 and sunny, might -15 and snowing. Maybe even the sun will make an appearance.

    Regardless, it'll cause disruptions to the trains somehow.

  • YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
  • Money.

    Also I imagine the ads will be silent but animated, like a regular website ad but full screen, essentially turning whatever you're watching it on into a giant billboard.

    It's just another thing to block I guess.

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • I see your point, but it could just be that the 'best' system is just what you're used to (akin to the Celsius vs Farenheit argument). There's a load of systems that are slightly different between countries, and make perfect sense to those using the system but make absolutely no sense to anyone outside that system.

    I guess the best thing is that this has created some awareness of the minor differences which may save some confusion later down the line should anyone visit a country using a different system.

    To sort of answer your comment though, I don't see the ground floor as the "first floor" you'd be on because it's just the ground. It's hard to explain, but that's just what I'm personally used to, and saying the ground floor is the first floor doesn't make sense to me. Because I'm used to the "ground" system I'd know that if someone said something's "on the first floor", and I'm in my country, I'd go to the first floor above the ground floor.

    If I went to the US for example and someone said something's on the first floor I'd look at what I'd call the ground floor, because I now understand that it's different.

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.
  • I've not looked into it much other than seeing it in this video by Jeff Geerling and making a mental note for next time I'm in the market for a TV but it may be of interest to you.

    I'm sorry I can't provide more details than that, but it's basically a digital signage TV designed to run 24/7 for years, and as such is actually built without the absolute bargain basement parts that go into consumer units.

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.
  • Get a non-consumer TV if you can. They're more expensive but are actually built to last, have way more features and you can swap in whatever compute board you want so you're not stuck with an underpowered Android TV board.

  • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
  • It's not just large amounts of money. It's chasing more and more money each quarter, and when it starts slowing down panic sets in and they start trying to find any and every possible avenue to keep profits up. It's how we've ended up in subscription based hell and it'll only get worse.

  • Cheap, OpenWrt compatible routers with WiFi 6?
  • The BPI-WIFI6 is currently half price and good value for what you get imo. Not sure on true performance yet as I need to rewire my house but it's way more reliable than any of my other routers at least.

  • Truth
  • Technically no, but you can gain stock access to these permissions without root using AppOps and Shizuku to fine tune permissions.

    Used it so I could listen to audio from a camera as a baby monitor whilst still being able to play YouTube videos.
