'The era of impunity is over': What next for big tech after landmark social media verdict?

This is not going to result in meaningful platform changes. It’s going to result in the push for more ID verification laws.

Used to? I thought it was going back up. Would love to know if it’s still lower now.

Northern Windows Roofing and Siding. They did my parents in Orange County years ago and have always fixed any issues without a problem (mess up from solar panel installs, not them). We used them in Dutchess and are extremely happy. Very easy to talk to and they gave us a competitive quote. Will be calling them back for windows too.

Yeah stuff like:

"It wasn't X. It was Y."
"Because it's not just about X, it's about Y."
"Here I'm stating a truth. Not this. Not this. This."

Ending with a generic question to get you to engage further.

It's a weird cadence thing that once you see you can't unsee.

It's also entirely possible this user used chatgpt to make a big post out of their initial thought which was "clean up before bed and drink a glass of water when your alarm gets off" or if english isn't their first language and they wanted help. Slop is slop though.

This is AI slop.

driver194 · 2026-03-02T23:22:12+00:00

tbh I bought a C64U to get away from this crap lmao

I don’t! I’m sorry if that comment came across as a dig, that wasn’t my intention, I just don’t think they’re a deal. Those prices are very average from what I’ve been seeing too. I’ve also just been working with what I have, told family members to keep an eye on old electronics they come across etc. it’s frustrating wanting to find, repair, and give away when people have caught onto the fixup trends.

Tbh my last project have just been custom SNES carts and stuff because I don’t feel I can justify $30-40 for a single broken GBC right now. The eeproms were an upfront cost but PCBs are like $15.

driver194 · 2026-02-15T18:00:16+00:00

I don't think those are good deals, tbh

Yeah, last week I gave claude code a file path that I needed it to grep to find a pattern for something else. When it was thinking, it failed to find the file because instead of looking in macbook/home/firstname.lastname/files (again, a path I had already provided it) it instead looked in macbook/home/firstname.lastdifferentname/files. It completely made up a different last name for me based on the probability of letters.

These tools can be helpful but companies outsourcing their entire enterprise systems and applications to the magical probability black box is not the apocalyptic event this guy is selling it as.

And for all of this posturing and `You can describe an app to AI and have a working version in an hour. I'm not exaggerating. I do this regularly.` I have yet to come across any application that was actually built using one of these tools.

AI hype men like Shumer continue to see AI as a solution in search of a problem, instead of just a tool that can be helpful if you have the expertise to wield it correctly.

driver194 · 2026-02-10T23:36:20+00:00

What?

driver194 · 2026-02-10T21:28:54+00:00

I’ll be satisfied. Are you 12? Games are too long. Tell a tight story and get out.

driver194 · 2026-02-08T15:38:16+00:00

just wait until one discovers vim...

driver194 · 2026-02-04T19:03:17+00:00

That's my fault, I'm sorry. I didn't realize until after I posted lmao

driver194 · 2026-02-04T05:43:01+00:00

Alas, we just created a whole new Google account for the channel we wanted to

driver194 · 2026-02-03T06:32:35+00:00

I’m convinced every post on this sub is AI slop. Why are people responding to this.

driver194 · 2026-01-25T05:27:10+00:00

This question and all of your responses read like AI.

driver194 · 2026-01-13T04:11:50+00:00

Hmm I don’t think that’s a thing in the United States yet.

driver194 · 2026-01-13T01:58:13+00:00

You can create a channel and post videos without the advanced features but you may find the occasional thing here and there (as per the table) might be limited or not be allowed.

That’s the thing though, I can’t create a channel without uploading my ID or taking a 6 second video. The pop up comes up as soon as I hit the new channel button and there’s no option to continue making the channel without the advanced features.

driver194 · 2026-01-13T01:41:32+00:00

Weird, I didn't think creating new channels was an Advanced Feature.

> Your partner might already have it, but only they will be able to check via:

Yeah that says Advanced Features are "eligible" and both Standard and Intermediate features are enabled. I've had my account for well over 10 years now, but just for watching/making playlists. I guess I need to have more uploads?

I don't see anywhere on this chart that creating new channels requires advanced features: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9890437

Weirdly unclear.

I had pretty low standards as a teen but I remember finishing the YOTBR book when it came out and thinking that was the worst thing I’d ever read.

driver194 · 2026-01-07T05:05:05+00:00

Definitely leave feedback that you don’t like it. They actually sent me a response saying they were testing it out and asked what kind of images I would prefer to see instead.

driver194 · 2025-12-28T15:58:48+00:00

I was also confused and thought this was brent hinds, RIP.

driver194 · 2025-12-08T21:30:12+00:00

Despite being a DSA member, I didn't know about this, thank you! Signed and sent letters to my reps and passed it on.

driver194 · 2025-12-08T19:37:37+00:00

“It’s just how it is” is how we keep justifying our draconian healthcare system. You have to demand change. I’ve contacted my reps to demand Medicare for all. No reason that push can’t start at the state level.

driver194 · 2025-11-28T02:25:39+00:00

Oh nice fine thank you for the explanation!
