fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with

lsblk -f

I didn't realize that. That's disheartening.

It's hard for me to imagine 2024 not being the year they do.

Someone somewhere is already planning how they will get people to work around the clock this way, and someone else somewhere is probably desperate enough to feed themselves or their family that they'll take it when offered.

OK. I'm not claiming google isn't trying. I'm claiming it doesn't matter, and this is a solvable problem for end users. Most others in this thread are saying just FF and ublock does it, so I probably have overkill going on.

I only know this is happening with Youtube recently because of seeing other people talk about it.

FWIW, with Firefox on Linux with pihole on my network and ublock origin, some component (or the mix) of those things seems to have meant that so far I have yet to experience a single one of the things Google has been doing since the adblock wars began again. I just checked now to see if there was any delay, and there is not.

I haven't seen a single popup, nor a single warning, no slowdowns, and no ads. I installed freetube in preparation for getting screwed, and although I like it, ad-wise and speed-wise it's no different than hitting youtube directly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well fuck all those artists and writers who made the original works then I guess. Licensing is impractical.

Plasma 5 made me a KDE user and fanboy. I am super excited to see what 6 will bring.

KDE team, you rock.

So then we as a society aren't ready to untangle the mess of our infancy in the digital age. ChatGPT isn't something we must have at all costs, it's something we should have when we can deploy it while still respecting the rights of people who have made the content being used to train it.

The reinstatement came after notable users such as George Galloway, a former member of the British Parliament, called out Musk for banning the accounts.

(Update at the top of the article)

I don't even use lemmy and that was interesting to read.

Sorry, my joke generating subroutine has not been updated since the time that the rocket scientist idiom you mention was popularized.
