I love walking and I do it every day, but I don't want to have to do it.

To answer the "why not" part of that question, copying from one of my previous comments:

There's an enormous amount of content uploaded to YouTube, as much as 30,000 hours of video uploaded per hour. That's around 1PB per hour assuming most videos are uploaded in 1080p.

I wasn't able to find an official source for what YouTube's total data storage is, but this estimate puts it at 10 EB or 10,000,000,000 GB of video.

On Amazon AWS that would cost $3 Billion per month to store. The actual cost to Google is probably much lower because of economy of scale and because it is run by and optimized for them, but it is still a colossal figure. They offset the cost with ads, data collection, and premium subscription, but I would imagine running YouTube is still a net loss for Google.

Don't forget Connect

The developer has been incredibly responsive to community feedback and there have been almost daily updates.

Per Newsweek

"In the week ending June 3, Bud Light's sales revenue—the brand's dollar income—was down 24.4 percent compared to the same week a year ago."

"The company's global CEO, Michel Doukeris, said on May 4 that the declining Bud Light sales represented about 1 percent of Anheuser-Busch's global volume.

I've never noticed this.

"In addition, we have received this image submission earlier today from an anonymous member of our community, who also offered the c/reddit moderation team, and I quote, "one Barbie-llion dollars", to set it as the community banner. We’re not sure what to make of this"

Schools cannot force students to learn. A lot of people are having kids because of social/societal expectations, lack of sex education, or lack of access to birth control rather than because they actually want to. As a result they are much less involved in their childrens' lives and expect schools to take care of raising their children for them. Stagnating wages and rising cost of living from inflation or corporate greed or whatever you want to call it means that even parents who do care are often too busy trying to make ends meet to be active parents. I suspect all of the above factors also correlate to parents who are not very well educated themselves.

If kids do badly, rather than encouraging or incentivizing them to do well or addressing their behavioral issues, these parents will instead blame the teachers. It is getting to the point where this is the case for the majority of students in many places. I have friends who teach in selective private schools, which would in theory correlate to more resources for students and more involved parents, but even there they are starting to see this.

Schools don't have the resources to address this crisis properly; schools are funded by tax dollars so teacher pay and overall school funding have stagnated along with wages. Schools cannot fail every student or hold them back a grade, and they are also incentivized to have high average grades, so they end up lowering their standards and graduating students who are not properly educated.

My personal, cynical take on this is that a subset of people in positions of political power realize that uneducated people are easier to manipulate for their own gain, and therefore deliberately support policies that have lead to the deterioration of educational standards. Additionally, business profits are maximized, at least in the short term, by maximizing the number of people living on the brink of bankruptcy. Every cent that the average person saves or invests or passes on to their children is a cent that is not being added to the billionaires' hoards. Less educated people are easier to manipulate into voting politicians who allow this to happen into power, which gives large corporations an incentive to help the aforementioned politicians get elected.

I think the big players in the AI space want excessive regulation because it raises the bar of entry to the field. It will be mildly inconvenient for them, but prohibitively inconvenient for most startups and open-source projects.

They have stated they have measures in place to detect anyone trying to do that and will require them to return the TV or pay for it.

The saturation is cranked to hell. I love the photo otherwise but the sky is not that deep blue at that elevation.

You could try getting an external hard drive/SSD enclosure, putting the hard drive/ssd from your old laptop in it, and plugging it into your new computer to copy the files over. Twice as fast as copying to an external drive and then copying that to the new PC.

The main features of the reddit app I used (joey) that I enjoyed:

• More condensed/streamlined interface with less wasted space compared to the official app. Also much faster and more resource efficient with imperceptibly short loading times for text posts.

• Ability to set custom filters to automatically hide posts with a given keyword in the title or subreddit name from my feeds.

• Way better built in image/video viewer compared to the official app.

• Option to move the title bar to the bottom

• Subscribed subreddits shown as tabs in the title bar with the ability to swipe left and right to switch between them.

The feature I miss the most: anytime you opened a post or followed a subreddit link, you could swipe right to instantly go back to where you were like the back button in a browser. So if I clicked on the subreddit name from a post on the frontpage to open r/aww, opened a post in r/aww, and clicked on a link in the comments to open r/illegallysmolcats, I could then swipe right and be back where I was in the comments, swipe right again and be back where I was in r/aww, then swipe right again and be back where I was in the frontpage. And this stacked indefinitely so you could be 15+ subreddit links deep and still go back to where you started in a few swipes.

Awesome, will start using this.

Twitter probably doesn't take to that much space (comparatively) because it's mostly text with some images.

YouTube is another matter. There's an enormous amount of content uploaded to YouTube, as much as 30,000 hours of video uploaded per hour. That's around 1PB per hour assuming most videos are uploaded in 1080p.

I wasn't able to find an official source for what YouTube's total data storage is, but this estimate puts it at 10 EB or 10,000,000,000 GB of video.

Some of my favorite content on here tbh

The settings menus (input switcher, etc) will be on it. Also it will collect data on anything you view using the main screen (HDMI input, etc) regardless.

RCS is Rich Communication Services, it's a newer protocol that is end to end encrypted and adds more features like replying to a specific message, emoji reactions, typing indicators and read receipts if the user has that turned on, and sending more types of files.

Your phone is supposed to check if the other person's phone supports RCS before sending a message using it, and automatically resend via SMS if an RCS message doesn't go through, but it doesn't always work.

In the default Google messages app it is the first option at the top of settings.

Let's say, hypothetically, that I were to transform myself into the hamburger helper.

They have said that they can't stop people from doing that, but that the settings menus, such as the input switcher, will be on the bottom screen.

It was the top post in my feed so I thought I had somehow opened the reddit app by accident even though I've uninstalled it.

I have done destructive strength testing on carbon fiber. It would not shatter like porcelain. Carbon fiber is made of thin, very strong but very flexible stands of carbon embedded in more brittle resin (plastic). The resin by itself probably would shatter. Carbon fiber will snap suddenly as the resin fails, but the fibers keep it from flying apart.

With steel, it would depend very much on the alloy. Some are very ductile (will bend very far without breaking) whereas some are more brittle and actually will shatter with enough force.

This video gives a good idea of how steel would compare to carbon fiber. Carbon fiber starts at 3:57 and high speed steel (a very brittle steel) at 6:19. There is no ductile steel, but 6061aluminum at 2:48 fails pretty much the same way just with a lower force.

I have no idea what the picture is, but I'm guessing that it is a still from a movie/tv show/etc and in between the two posts the poster finds out that one of the characters in the picture dies.

This is not built into Lemmy at the moment so the only way to do it is browse using a 3rd party app/website that has added this feature.

The only one I'm aware of at the moment is Connect for Lemmy on Android.

I have no doubt people will be able to hack it. What I'm saying is there is no way it could be hacked without the company finding out and forcing you to return it or pay up. When you sign up you have to give them your personal information and credit card. If you disconnect it from the Internet, filter its Internet traffic, or modify it in any way they will tell you to return it and if you don't return it they will charge the credit card.

From their terms of service:

In order to use the Product and Services, You will:

(a) Use the Product as the primary television in Your household;

(b) Keep the Product connected to WiFi and internet; and

(c) Not use any software on Your WiFi network that with advertising blocking capability.

(d) Not make physical modifications to the Product or attach peripheral devices to the Product not expressly approved by Telly. Any attempt to open the Product’s enclosure will be deemed an unauthorized modification.

If we discover that You are not abiding by the requirements above or have disconnected the Product from an internet connection or WiFi for more than short periods each month, You will no longer be able to use the Service and You must return any Products in your possession to Telly. Failure to return Products to Telly will result in Telly charging the credit card on file.

There's a star wars show where that literally happens.

Sadly I don't know the name of the show or the episode, just ßaw a clip online.

It's called social media, the entire purpose of its existence is for other people to see what you post. This is true for Reddit, Twitter, literally any social media site. I'm not saying, well other social media is just as bad, I'm saying, this is inherently how social media works. If you're expecting anything you post on any social media to remain private or be completely erased from existence when you delete it, you're either stupid or hopelessly uniformed.

There are some sites where you can allow only people you've friended/followed can see your posts, but that is not the default setting and doesn't prevent someone you've shared your content with from saving and distributing it.

Most social media sites ask at the very least for your phone number and birthday when signing up; Lemmy doesn't, they don't have any personal information other than an email address and only if you choose to add that for account recovery.

If this article is news to you, then so might this headline: Warning: when you drive your car from one place to another on public roads you can be seen by other people. Car users should consider this carefully before driving.
