I’m assuming this is referring to JSO.

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]
On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]
Yes, a lot of their protests are “awareness” stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it’s not just that. The UK isn’t an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.
I’m not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.
I’d suggest some kind of “press this key to view debug information” text (or make it documented but not visible, to avoid people just pressing whatever button is written on the screen)
Out of curiosity, I looked up the numbers. This is correct, they make 9.2 billion per quarter from ads and 10.7 billion from subscriptions. I can’t find expenses per-segment, but in 2023 their total “Cost of revenues” was 37 billion. I doubt everything other than youtube costs less than 17 billion, so they’re definitely making a profit.

It completely breaks them, currently: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139
This applies to at least NewPipe and yt-dlp, probably basically every such tool. Also, if you use logged-in cookies and download, they sometimes ban your account! Fun!
… which is why youtube has recently started blocking non-logged in users
Just to offer some support, you’re right and those are good questions
Fair. Powertoys is really extensive. I quite like Pop (or gnome’s? Not sure) tiling window manager though.
PopOS’s COSMIC menu is like that I think (you can search files, the web, even stuff like turning volume up and down)? But I’ve never tried to run it outside of PopOS.
As far as I know Switzerland only had one and we call it the Sonderbund war
In general: non-intrusive, non-tracking ads, with robust verification (i.e. not scams or lies), such as the ones you find on https://modrinth.com, or duckduckgo
With adnauseam: https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/FAQ#what-is-the-effs-do-not-track-standard-and-how-it-is-supported-in-adnauseam
The best part is that more ethical ads are harder to block, because trackers are one of the easiest ways to identify ads.
Hell, the adblocker I use (adnauseam) doesn’t block ethical ads by default.
Having read a significant portion of the base WASM spec, it’s really quite a beautiful format. It’s well designed, clear, and very agnostic.
I particularly like how sectioned it is, which allows different functions to be preloaded/parsed/whatever independently.
It’s not perfect by any means; I personally find it has too many instructions, and the block-based control flow is… strange. But it fills a great niche as a standard low-level isolated programming layer.
There’s a few (much smaller-scale) walls like that around where I live and I always find them so pretty <3
AI. Black guy in the background on the right has a white hand.
On the left the arms and legs are in very awkward positions too (the second guy has like… two left legs?)
Yeah I agree, I just don’t call “stuff’s gonna be bad” doomerism (it’s pretty clear at this point). I call “this is the end and there’s nothing we can do” doomerism.
There’s a pretty big difference between “it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better”, and “it’s already over, we’re all fucked”.
The original comment presents things poorly: we are past several “points of no return”, but saying the point of no return implies there’s nothing to be done.
Additionally the last point is… pretty much entirely wrong. We have absolutely made significant and noticeable progress against climate change. It’s not enough yet, but it’s absolutely not nothing.
Those last two points are just doomerism that is either
Wow, I didn’t know that! That’s absolutely wild
