YouTube’s attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic

I’ve long maintained that the majority of programmers working for Alphabet/Google/YouTube spent more time learning how to get the job than how to do the job well. There is a lot more to coding than “Cracking the Coding Interview.”

It’s not about building cool things over there. Is has not been that way for a long time. They just want the money and reputation.

Fuck trump and his supporters. Traitors, every last one of you that still support this fascist shit.

In that case, I look forward to downloading and torrent seeding my pirated youtube videos. DRM will not stop piracy. I will pirate the fuck out of youtube.

They could have made good money with a reasonable amount of ads but they are greedy and wanted huge and endless profits. They claim to need to make these changes to cover operating costs but they still post higher than expected profits every quarter. I stopped using google search, mail, calendar, and have grapheneOS on my phone. I used to be a google fanboy, but it is so bad now I can’t stand to open their page. Fuck the people that work at google that ruined one of the best ways to access all of human knowledge so they can afford another tesla.

He used the Philips CPAP machines, developed lung cancer, and passed. He was otherwise healthy. He was never a smoker and worked in a grocery store. There were no other factors causing the cancer.

The doctor that diagnosed the cancer said it was most probably due to the Philips CPAP machine and recommended that we contact the attorneys handling the case. We contacted the attorneys for the class action and answered a few of their questions and provided documentation. We are now part of the class action.

It has been proven that the machines caused harm. The only thing in question is how long they knew and how much they will pay.

I have a close relative that was killed by the Philips CPAP Machine. The lawyers for the class action recently told us that almost a billion dollars were set aside by Philips to pay out claims. It’s not enough. The people at the top need be put in prison for this. Fines and monetary compensation for the families is not enough. If they do end up in prison it would be some of the most wonderful schadenfreude if someone used the money they get from the lawsuit to hire other prisoners to torture the Philips CEO’s every day they are in until they can take it no more and kill themselves.

Damn good point.

Catholics are also masters of protecting pedophiles.

Most of what you typed is reductio ad absurdum and I will not entertain it.

To the part that is not I will say that yes I do apply the same standard to any business or employees that uses their size to to enshittify. It’s called Right Livelihood and if more people lived by it we would not have the current problems with mega corps.

In that situation I would view the person as self serving. Doing something to improve one’s own situation at the expense of others is not conducive to a good society. I care more about the group than one friend in a tough situation. I liken it to the trolly problem.

If that engineer is coding that they should not be appreciated. They are part of the problem. I don’t care about the pay or the status of being a facebook engineer. I really don’t respect any engineer that has worked for any of the FAANG companies. Those fuckers sold out their morals the second they typed the first character of the first line of code while employed there.

I wonder how long until facebook adds it to their surveillance stack.

Yet, somehow the rich get richer, even in “once in a lifetime” economics crashes.

removed, you’re the bad faith commentor here. I have no respect for what you are doing and who you are. Please kill yourself and make the world a slightly better place.

Are you sure the down votes are not because of what you said instead of who you said it about?

When it comes to “Vote blue no matter who” it is because team red has no plan other than get their guy in office. That guy fomented an insurrection, we all saw it happen live. That guy has already promised retribution if elected. There are groups readying plans to fire “non-loyal” federal workers the day that guy takes office and replace them with sycophants. That is literally an existential crisis for our country.

In addition, team red has tried to stop aid to Ukraine, repeatedly. Nobody outside of team red thinks it should be cut. Doing so would only benefit Russia.

Team red believes so much misinformation that they do not know how far out of touch with reality they are.

There are legitimate reasons to discuss politics when they have us so close to a precipice. I think we should be fighting about politics and wealth hoarders at the same time!

Team blue is calling out Melendez for corruption. So maybe the infallible thing is false?

My reason for sharing that was to bring to light that they are commenting in bad faith. It’s not for them, it’s for other people reading.

Your not even American. Why so invested in this thread?

And why have you commented multiple times telling people to start shooting, while at the same time saying that we shouldn’t even talk about it?
