YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
  • Google constantly puts Youtube ads at the top of searches for information! Countless people put their information on Youtube in the form of videos! Tutorials get put on Youtube as a matter of course! There's a trove of old media on Youtube that can't be accessed any other way! Congratulations, you've won the award for the most thoughtlessly dismissive person on the internet today.

  • Weird AF: Rep. Thomas Massie's Christmas card
  • "Hello valued friends and family! We're all metal projectile enthusiasts! We wanted to demonstrate to you our love of imparting motive force upon objects! We so enjoy translating one-use slugs of lead across space!"

  • Humiliating New Polls Spell Doom for J.D. Vance ... and Trump
  • The Vice President can't do that without "a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide" on their side. That can't happen without either the aid of people that Trump would have to select (and he's notorious for picking toadies) or Congress passing a bill to create a body to evict him.

  • The unhoused are bad for real estate values.
  • To people saying don't believe every image you see: given many US municipalities' war against homeless people, signs like this are all too plausible. I'm surprised some city hasn't done this already.

    To people saying, effectively, "gotcha har har": stop posting plausible satirical signs without explanation, in other contexts we call that "lying."

  • Be a friend
  • There are people like this all around us, an invisible sea through which we swim unknowingly. Sorrow is the human condition, but we don't see it because most people don't communicate it.

  • Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch?
  • While the "recent troubles" put energy to my leaving, I have always been uncomfortable with Reddit, Twitter, Discord, Stack Overflow, Quora and Fandom, as corporate-owned repositories who work by, in one way or other, profiting off of freely contributed work.

    It used to be that if someone wanted to help people with freely-given information, they'd offer it in a forum, on Usenet, or on a website they started and hosted themselves, or if it fit in there, put it on Wikipedia. Now, people add it to a freaking pile that corporations monetize. Don't just hand them value! Put it somewhere that won't beg you to install an app, or beg you to "upgrade" to "Nitro," or force you to watch intrusive ads, or force people to create an account to see it, or track you! Your volunteer labor should not be a profit center!
