Or maybe you could stop being a dick and respect people’s decisions.

Looking at you c/linuxsucks

You wouldn’t be the first:

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I’m already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn’t the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It’s pretty nifty, and I’ve elected to using it for the second option.

Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It’s not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn’t outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.

Not all creators need the same bandwidth.

In time the technical knowledge requirements may be reduced. I could see a small company selling pre-setup media servers with a couple TB of storage. Just plug it in, load up your videos and your basically done.

And if you don’t have comments/users, there is little that needs to be maintained.

It’s not perfect, but there will eventually be a point where YouTube becomes so enshitified that people begin to switch to alternatives.

Reject tradition

Embrace scratch

It’s a double edged sword.

I’ve been slowly working on it for the last year or so. It’s gone a lot smoother than I thought it would.

It seems like the only shots that were fired were from the secret service.

This post is how I found out about this 2nd attempt.

I’m rewatching it again, this time with my girlfriend because she hasn’t seen it yet. We’re currently 3/4 of the way through Matt Smith’s doctor.

So maybe this time he will grow on me.

And then you promptly split the vote, allowing a party ideologically furthest from you to dominate.

Ah, that would explain it. I checked out once Capaldi joined.

That must have been the old Doctor Who, because I don’t remember seeing an episode like that.

But that’s a very Doctor Who style plot line lol

but either one of two things is true:

It’s worse. It’s both, which is in part why third parties don’t ever work.

And the solution is election reform, not yelling “just vote for what you believe”. Because people just voting for what they believe causes spoiler candidates to spoil elections.
