  • Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger

    Jump

  • I’ve cycled and walked in London for the last 10+ years. These silent and deadly speeders are super dangerous. I’ve seen several crashes on their account. As a cyclist, they overtake you a great speed; as a pedestrian they can be much closer much quicker than expected forcing you to misjudge if you can cross.

    Yes they are dangerous. I can’t believe you need to have this explained to you.

    Also the article literally gives you a clear cut case of exactly the danger of a pedestrian misjudging timings on account of their crazy speed - ended up dying. But it’s all just a joke to you of course.

  • First thing I do to a tv is flick it into a colour graded mode and flick all motion smoothing off.

  • Agree that it’s HDR, not actually resolution that makes that much difference.

  • And you don’t think this happens in China?

  • How much have you travelled, lived and worked in China? How far outside the tier 1 cities have you gotten?

    If you think every criticism of China is just liberal talking points, I assume the answers to those questions are all “not very much”.

  • What, you don’t think there’s work to do for a stay at home partner? From my observation, it’s one of the hardest jobs there are (that is if you actually take on all the home keeping duties as part of this - I’m not speaking about trophy-partners here).

  • YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household

    Jump

  • I agree that it would make more sense if they called it a “household” plan. That’s clearly what it is.

  • By Darwin you see a lot. I was merely stating that I think YouTube premium is worth the price I pay for it.

    Is there no product you are satisfied with? Your life must be pretty bleak.

  • Is recommending a product that you’re satisfied with “shilling”?

    Is there a product in this world that you think is worth the price? Does that make you a shill?

  • You mean removing sponsor led segments inside a video? Sort of. The jump ahead feature, which I think is a premium feature, allows you to jump in the video based on where everywhere else is jumping in the video. So when a sponsored segment starts and you skip forward 30s (double tap on mobile, ‘k’ on PC) you are offered to jump ahead. You click that and you get to the end of the sponsored segment.

  • YouTube steals other people’s work?

    I tend to watch content creators who willingly put their content on YouTube. Am I missing something here…?

  • I know. I thought we were upvoting respectful debate, not having a popularity contest. But apparently not…

  • It’s a product. You can buy it or not. If you don’t think it’s worth it, stay away, or stay on the free tier. You’re acting as if you’ve got some kind of right to use a service that’s provided by a commercial entity.

  • It’s too expensive agreed. However YouTube has a lot of discounted memberships through other services. I wouldn’t pay full price for it, but through my mobile phone company I get more than 50% off and that’s a bloody great deal.

  • Same here. I’ve cancelled Netflix, never got Disney plus, never use prime (though I think I have access to something through prime shipping).

    YouTube however; I watch this every single day, use it for learning, relaxation, documentaries etc.

    It’s a fantastic platform and well worth the subscription AFAICS.

  • If you pay, the platform remains great. I get a discounted YouTube premium membership through my mobile phone company. I think YouTube is great, I never see ads, lots of features.

    Just to offer an alternative view.

  • Paper and mobile train tickets to be replaced with GPS tracking in new travel trial

    Jump

  • Myeah not entirely an unfair comment.

    But I’ve worked in Switzerland and literally it’s even simpler there. You start and app, you say “I’m starting a journey”, you climb onboard and when you get off, you indicate on the app that the journey has completed. You are then charged the cheapest for a journey from your A to your B.

    Still inspection onboard, eg if you sit in first class with a second class tracking ticket, but it’s a two-click operation.

    Fairtiq it’s called. Pretty neat.

  • Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

    Jump

  • Sort of the same system they’re building in Denmark.

    You will log into MitID (myID), authenticate with the MitID app, then be issued a bunch of ZKP tokens which you’ll burn off against age verification services. No trace, fully authenticated, fully trusted, damn near impossible to fool.

  • Ok. I get the concept that pornography doesn’t harm children. We can debate that.

    But by that reckoning should we also allow children to buy guns online and have them delivered at home? Is there nothing we want to restrict online, on account that whoever is buying it might be too young?
