Decades of very gradual democratic backsliding followed by a more rapid collapse

Honestly not sure. There are other such third party YouTube players, I'd suggest searching around for newpipe alternatives and I bet one of them will suit your needs

Newpipe?

What a time to be reuploaded in high quality

Definitely looks suspicious

Definitely! My Nvidia shield, which came out 6 years ago, does 4k upscaling. Oddly, despite the ancient tech and the current AI obsession, no one is competing with that ability! Machine learning is great and has been developing for decades, making life better in various ways. Large Language Models are what is overhyped and limited in utility.

I remember trying to investigate using crypto as a replacement for international bank transfers. The gas fees were much larger than the greatly inflated fee my bank was charging. Another time, I used crypto to donate to a hacker I liked the work of. I realized the crypto transfer was actually more traceable when accounting for know your customer laws and the public ledger. That was when I realized crypto was truly useless. AI is mildly useful when coding, to point me to packages I wouldn't have heard of, provide straightforward examples. That's the only time I use it. The tech industry and investor class are desperate for it to be the next world-changing thing which is leading them to slap it on everything. That will eventually wear off.

I don't think it's a false alarm, in the sense that it is totally reasonable to be alarmed. They are cutting crucial stuff before they know what it is. There are a lot of things being cut where we're only going to understand the impact years from now.

It's messed up that there are still ways lead is used in this country. Ammunition, also, is a huge scourge on our environment, and sometimes people. I'm very sorry about your daughter having that problem.

In fact, the industry did sue and win a lawsuit in 1991 narrowing the range of asbestos compounds banned by the EPA. There have always been huge waves of resistance to every harmful compound banned by the government, from leaded gas to cigarettes to chlorofluorocarbons that harmed the ozone layer. The difference is that the present consolidation of wealth in the hands of a small group of billionaires, who control a consolidating group of media corporations, allows for unprecedented ability to control public opinion. Meanwhile, the amount of junk information floating around in social media, and failing public education, has disordered our systems of discourse. There is much more limited ability to vet quality sources of information, leaving people to worry more about fictional chemtrails than about the very real pesticides in their food

Many black holes remain in the gravitational influence of the galaxy or star system where they originated. Rogue black holes do not, so it is often harder to observe them

Yeah, I couldn't get through it. Even as an audiobook read by Wil Wheaton

I used to use old phones (Nexus 6P, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X) as security cameras, stopped for exactly this reason. They all got really warm, even with the screen off, and I was uneasy about it. IIRC my Gnex removable battery started expanding a bit! That's when I stopped using them for it.

The repeated harassment of the Sentinelese is accelerating and it is makes me intensely angry. There should be a steeper penalty- it's essentially attempted manslaughter in my mind, considering their vulnerability to disease.

Hell yeah, that's what this group is all about!

Now I want to fight the man and have some blackcurrants

Money well spent.
