It’s too difficult to block huge swaths of things you’re not interested in. Like sports, or memes, or music. You block one community and 99 more about the same subject appear in your feed.

Adding some sort of Usenet-style organization or sublemmy tagging might help.

Drugs actually have three names:

  • chemical name
  • prescription name
  • marketing name

How about we bring back Windows Phone first.

I feel like I need a brain shower after trying to read that article.

Looking forward to accidentally paying for someone else’s purchase at the next register over.

  • The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money.

  • Many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping.

  • Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.

  • And don’t lie to me about “Watch this long ad break and we won’t show you more ads during this program.”

I think Prime has the right idea of front loading the ads at the beginning of the program instead of interrupting thinks every few minutes.

I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $5 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.

I will add that I’ve yet to find a decent tasting store brand soda or sparkling water. I have no idea why it’s so difficult for them to get the flavoring right.

There’s plenty of good used stainless flatware out there. Older stuff found at estate sales is frequently better quality and cheaper than buying new at department stores.

Apple will happy replace your device battery for around $90 to $200. It’s not like it’s impossible to do.

I know that some people eat celery with hummus. Or put pimento cheese or peanut butter on it. Are there any other foods that you think go well with celery? I’ve got some celery in my fridge that I’m trying to eat up.

 

Just finished reading an article about how raw alfalfa sprouts easily spread e-coli, but the problem could be solved by irradiation. So why don’t we?

After all, the US is the land of GMO, pesticides, washed eggs, chlorinated chicken, and pasteurized dairy. How could irradiated produce be any worse?

 

Why is Cornyn running these ridiculous border security ads on YouTube? Midterm elections aren’t until November 2026.

 

Interesting article about all the crappy energy legislation being pushed and passed in Texas.

 

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

 

I keep hearing I should get a flu shot to help prevent bird flu — but I thought flu shots only prevented illness from the particular strains the shot was designed for. Does getting a traditional flu shot do anything to prevent bird flu transmission?
