Google: Ok. We won’t show your news.

I mean, they don’t have to release the source code. A compiled version would be fine.

Why?

Because I have YT Premium.

The first party app is pretty good in this case. No ads. Supports offline downloads, including auto-downloading videos from your subscriptions. The search is obviously good, because Google.

it’s unrealistic to assume it would exist forever.

Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend.

Ubisoft doesn’t have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.

It won’t

Big +1 for Sync.

I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.

It’s an awesome app. Best app purchase I’ve ever made. (There is a free version too.)

What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch banks?

What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch brokers?

What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch from Venmo and PayPal?

Which Americans are not in a similar position?

X Payments is doomed to fail. He missed the boat. The market is already saturated, and they’ve lost all brand loyalty.

And were they any good?

My car runs Android Automotive^1 on an Intel Atom and performance is trash. I would hate to have a phone on the same platform.

^1 As in, the car runs Android directly, not Android Auto running from a phone.

So they tried to open a research center to steal Chinese talent (that has since been closed) and they released the Google Translate app on the Xiaomi store…

That’s not the same as supporting the CCP and the Uyghur genocide.

What are you talking about?

Google doesn’t operate in China, much less do work for the CCP.

“Getting fired felt like a possibility but never a reality,”

They took over an executive’s office and a cafeteria. Not knowing that you’d be fired as a result is a severe lack of judgement.

Protests are important. But you have to understand that there will be consequences for your actions. Embrace that going in.

Saying that you didn’t think they’d actually fire you comes off as childish.

That’s exactly what I’m hinting at.

My hypothesis is that this is, in fact, the case.

Maybe the reps aren’t thinking this deliberately, but I suppose some in R strategy has realized this. They can tell the reps something simple like “FEMA response is likely to be bad for us in the election,” and the reps can be willfully ignorant, refusing to consider the consequences of their inaction.

Low voter turnout benefits Republicans.

It’s easier to prevent people from voting against you than it is to convert people to vote for you.

The game plan is to ensure chaos continues for the next few weeks until the election, in the hopes that people will be too busy trying to survive than to vote.

Are you suggesting we treat North Koreans like indigenous people in Ukraine?

Why would any country allow soldiers of another to “do their own thing” within their borders?

That’s a good idea. They could probably do something similar for the audio.

They’d have to code around the rest of the animation and audio effects, but the size of that code would certainly be smaller than the rendered audio and video.

Video codecs mostly work by tracking movement, predicting which pixels will change, and striving to only encode the pixels that actually change or change dramatically. In other words, compression looks for patterns.

All of that goes out the window when you try to compress static. There are no patterns. It simply can’t be compressed. This isn’t a matter of the algorithms not being good enough. It’s a fundamental limit of information theory.

Anything fancier amounts to embedding the intro into the compressor as a well-known pattern. And at that point, you’re better off just caching a 4K version of the intro as a standalone video file directly in the app.

What are you going on about? Have you ever ridden in one of these?

They do have these buttons…

I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can’t represent 4D data spatially.

My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as “visualization”.

And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”

Sure it is.

• 3 spatial dimensions + time
• 3 spatial dimensions + 1 color dimension (grayscale)
• 2 spatial dimensions + 2 color dimensions
• etc

And that’s not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that’s projected to 2D (almost every photo you’ve ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.

(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)
