Almost any music player can loop an MP3.
Automation may be difficult.

It’s literally what their entire business is based on. Filtering good and bad traffic.

There is no one solution. This is an all on the table problem. Everything will contribute. Things should stop being framed as solutions.
A better phrasing would be “whether it’ll be a part of the climate solution.”

Of course! Which is why I said 20% of his audience would need to switch with him. And obviously there would be a transition. Nobody said anything to suggest otherwise.

Sponsorships, Ad reads, Product placement.
He doesn’t need Google inserting ads, they pay pennies compared to other direct deals.

I imagine he’s one who could ditch YouTube.
He could spin up his own PeerTube instance just for him to post to. Then tell everyone to follow him there and Mastodon. If only 20% of his audience does it, he’d still make out like a bandit.

That does look like what I’d want.
The one time I tried to setup something In docker on my home NAS I failed pretty hard. But this looks promising enough to try again.

I’ve been looking for years. Haven’t found any.
When I think of notes, I think of little one off Post-It’s I can quickly reference at a glance later. Then throw away once I don’t kneed it later. But all the “Notes” apps out there aren’t about replacing notes, but instead are all about replacing notebooks. They’re WAY overkill, and far too much work for such a simple use.

But you are if the personal incentives in your situation are bad enough.
For an extreme example. You might not want to support the black market for human organs. You know how terrible it is as a system. But you’ll die if you don’t buy a black market organ. Is it reasonable to expect everyone to give their life for that ideal? No.

It is possible (common really) for individuals to make completely rational, sensible, even correct decisions, which ultimately contribute to a larger systemically catastrophic problem. It comes from improperly aligned incentives within the system. For examples, you can reference the prisoners dilemma.

Yes! You’re right!
Selling access to the algo directly would be terrible for users. The SEO companies would all know exactly how to game the system, and ruin Google search completely. That would be soooo bad.
- Steve@communick.newstoTechnology@beehaw.org•Google’s nightmare: How a search spinoff could remake the webEnglish131·1 month ago
Google CEO Sundar Pichai seemed genuinely alarmed at the prospect of being forced to license Google’s search index and algorithm
This is almost exactly what Kagi suggested.
The hardest part of internet search is building the search Index. It’s massive. Practically a whole copy of the internet. Selling other provider access to Google’s search index means new businesses and new business models can be created. My only concern is the “and algorithm” part. That almost sounds like the current state of things. Where companies can run queries to google and receive standard results filtered by Google’s algorithm. Direct access to the index is needed without Google’s algorithm, so others can use their own algorithm. But maybe they meant and/or, so companies can choose to be a real “Google white label” or something more.

That’s just growing things.
I have a few little house plants, that were foisted on me by my sister. But by no stretch of the imagination is that at all related to farming.
Even gardening at its most extreme, only might be a hobby farm.
Actual farming, is a whole other kind of annoying. Its just way different when your lively hood depends on it.

What? Is there a natural human inclination to farming?
I ask because I’ve always had a natural disinclination to anything out in the sun.

Nvidia ceasing to exist is exactly what I’m talking about here.
When people have no choice they’d make ROCm work. It’ll take some extra effort, but it would get the job done just fine.
- Steve@communick.newstoPC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Do you perceive Nvidia more as a key company for PC or AI?"English14·2 months ago
They’re not what I think of as a “Key Company” for anything.
That would require them to be irreplaceable in some aspect, on any reasonable timeline. But if they disappeared tomorrow, AMD would be able to step in and cover every use people had for Nvidia products.(Accept maybe the Nvidia Shield. But Nvidia seems to have largely quit that anyway)
The closest thing they have to irreplaceable is CUDA. But AMD has been making leaps and bounds improving their GPU software. It would take the market maybe 6mo, or a year. But it would adjust without much trouble.

We need to work on permitting of New plants. Not new construction of Old plants.
But I get it, Don likes towers.
I miss EverCrack.
Not the actual mechanics, things have come a long way since then. But the concepts. No end game. Mobs that take 100+ people all day to take down. And that last piece of armor you want, has a 2% drop rate off them. And even when it does drop, there are 10 of your class who wants it, and you have to work out who gets it. Levels took so long nobody worried about getting to cap, and just hung out. The grind and the community were the point. Not the next piece of gear.
