on YouTube will now count a view as soon as a video starts playing in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
What the other guy said.
The counter for advertisements are based on the number of views, hence counting a video as soon as its playing as a view, they’ll be able to jam in more advertising.

This is nonsensical. Anything valuable is copied anyway. What they are destroying is thousands of small books about local histories and technical matters that are being disappeared entirety.

They only print a few dozen copies and then Google destroys the only one left.
It’s not a difficult concept.

The theory is that you can own a fleet of robotaxis while you have a job without the hassle of maintaining vehicles or employing drivers.

on Linus Torvalds says AI has made 'huge' Linux kernel updates the new normal in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
…and 99.9% of what it identifies as errors either aren’t, or are so minor they’re irrelevant. And “fixing” them breaks piles of other code.
Projects that hasd no more than a dozen requests a year are now getting swamped with hundreds of requests a day. People in the third world are using agents to generate thousands of broken, garbage “patches” to claim money.
But why would Torvalds give a shit hey ? He can fuck over those people just like he did with C++ developers.

Production is usually sold a year in advance. This includes orders from retail outlets.
They have stopped making optical drives because they are obsolete. You could see it coming a few months ago when the disc version was being dumped off at only $50 more.
