Yep, bible has a lot of sections about having the faith of a child. Believing without needing proof.

Who hurt you? No one was talking about people doing this shit for a living or for the entertainment of anyone but themselves.

What the fuck is going on with news lately? So many just explicitly fucking false headlines.

Not arguing the uselessness of opinions about mods, especially on reddit. That said…

You do realize that google, and everyone else, scrape the hell out of lemmy right? This shit is 100% public and the nature of federation means that even if some instances officially have some rules against scraping, it just has to be federated to an instance that doesn’t. Only reason the fediverse isn’t talked about more in terms of use as training data is that it has significantly less content, not because it isn’t being used.

Pretty, but I shudder to imagine the hell it would be to dust it well.

Wow, $300

If you dig through the pictures there’s a decent bit more to it than just the initial diorama, but still.

Hope the bootleggers do a good job copying it.

You missed some nuance. Don’t drive on their roads. You can drive unregistered vehicles on your own property with no issues. Many homesteaders and farmers do this with work trucks that never leave their property.

That’s where the edges of these people’s thinking begins. There’s so many tiny caveats that they believe there has to be some secret set of true rules out there for people clever enough to crack the code.

Don’t have a direct answer, but have you tried making the same short playlist on each, exporting as json from each, and comparing the files?

JSON isn’t a specific filetype that is interchangable between multiple systems. It’s just a way of organizing data as text. You can open it up in a text editor.

The format that invidious is exporting is for invidious. Invidious won’t have the data in that json file organized in the way that piped expects, which is why it says it’s not valid.

You might be able to reorganize the JSON or rename the property names to match the pattern that piped expects. You’d probably be looking at scripting something yourself though.

On android I use Revanced. It patches the official Youtube app (patches are open source) to greatly expand the base functionality and offer a lot more customization of the UI.

For me the best features are ad block, sponsorblock (skips in video sponsored segments), and complete excision of shorts from all aspects of the app.

It also works on Youtube Music, effectively allowing free premium (just don’t get the local downloads of your most listened tracks to help save data, but I have unlimited anyway).

The ads in the OS are disableable as well. They just aren’t off by default, and are labeled something like “software suggestions” in the settings app.

Sometimes you can’t just wait for things to get better, you have to act. Other times all the actions in the world won’t do shit but waste your energy.

Wish you luck in telling the difference, and in making it through whatever you’re going through.

While I’m not particularly against what you’re saying, I think you overlook other issues with the older internet’s culture of not wanting/taking credit.

One only has to look at things like the “cheezeburger” corporation that made millions off of marketing lolcat memes that they had no hand in creating or even much hand in proliferating to see that people not taking credit isn’t a golden solution to prevent misuse and abuse by companies out to make a quick buck.

There’s a lot of great advice here, and I was definitely in your boat, faking it for my wife’s sake quite a bit.

This is an important takeaway: what you are feeling right now is not unusual.

But seeing my daughter, holding her for the first time, watching her grow, learn, develop a personality… her first “dada”, mush mouthed “love you”, her big grin every morning when she sees me, when she hops off mama’s lap and crawls over to me babbling “dadadada” then a few minutes later crawls back to mama and then tries to get us to sit in a way where she can be touching both of us… there are so many moments nearly every day that make it all worth it.


I think your main issue is how you’re framing this in your mind (or at least how you’ve framed it here) and how I assume you’ve framed this with your wife.

This isn’t about whether or not you made the “right” choice. It’s far too late for that now anyway, and framing it that way carries a shit ton of subtext for your wife that you probably aren’t cognizant of.

Do you not want a kid? Do you not want to be a father? Do you not want to be doing this with her? Do you just want to not have responsibilities? Do you feel like you were pressured into this? Is this some resentment towards her? Will you resent the kid?

These are only some of the really fucking negative ideas that could be put into her head when you say you aren’t sure you made the right choice.

Or is this what’s going on (the far more likely situation with most future fathers): You’re scared as shit about everything coming towards you, you’re scared about the amount of work this will be, concerned about how this will effect your relationship with your wife, worried about how your life will change in ways you can’t even imagine from this side, lamenting the loss of free time and freedom you see coming, worried you might not be ready to handle this or raise a kid properly…

Fears, being scared, worrying? Those are things you might be able to bond over. I’d be surprised if your wife wasn’t scared of a lot of these things too. My wife and I were scared.

But what seems like just a subtle semantic difference between “Oh shit what have we signed up for” and “I’m not sure this was the right choice for us” has a massive gulf in terms of emotional meaning and undertones.

I highly reccomend you try to take some time to try and figure out what you’re really feeling here. Maybe you are resentful of the situation. I hope you aren’t. Like I said earlier, most future fathers go through some terror of “what the shit am I in for what did I agree to?”


If you’ll excuse a bit more ramble, what you’re feeling now might come back from time to time after your kid is born. Particularly when things feel tough, it’s not unusual to feel the weight of all the work you’ve stepped up to do. I still do from time to time, a year and some months in.

But this is what you signed up for. Just like marriage is for better or worse, and relationships can be hard fucking work, so can children. You’ve made the choice with the idea or gamble that what you get out of it will make the toughness and hard times worth it. The overwhelming amount of the time, it absolutely will be.

You’ve made the choice to do this, it’s too late to turn back. So are you going to trudge through it like a member of a chain gang, or are you going to cherish every little thing there is to cherish and be there for your wife who is giving up just as much or more than you will be?

Lol, what? db0 is a medium sized instance ran by one of the former /r/piracy admins when they jumped ship during the exodus, and it’s reasonably active with a decent amount of real users and a very active owner.

World is by far the largest instance by a huge margin. It is such an outlier that it effectively should be disregarded in comparisons with other instances.

Transport the waste out of my bladder right into the matter recycler.

Transport the nutrient and vitamin mix into my stomach.

Transport the fat from my body.

I feel like this is a very “shoplifting, public intoxication, nuclear warfare, and jaywalking” way to present things.

Does One Line Fix Google? - A “Web” filter that presents what Google used to look like a decade ago | tedium.co (tedium.co)

Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of all the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. All you have to do is add “udm=14” to the search URL....

There’s at least one public story from an ex-googler who worked on search having a big QoL feature update killed at the absolute last moment before it went live by someone in marketing/ads because it decreased click through rate for the “sponsored” results at the top of the search page.

Outlook has “rules” you can configure to route incoming mail into different folders and mark as read (if you have access to their web client, configure the rules there so they run even when the desktop client is closed).

I know Google’s web interface has similar features. If it’s not built into Thunderbird then I’d be shocked if there wasn’t an extension for it.
