Trousers.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. That rug really ties the room together

I’m not in their target audience.

Ctrl + tab if LRU is set.
It’s like alt + tab for windows, but for tabs. :)

Also: Ctrl + h… What?! A searchable history of all URLs ever clicked? Tomfoolery!

Pff. You really think food grows on trees?

Please spread this message to more advanced Software engineers who understand “BYTECODE” HIDING and exe construction IN OPENSOURCE SCRIPTS AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT!

I believe chain letter is the word?

The pig belongs to all mankind!

Umm… Maybe. :)

Ever heard the sound of children on a school yard? They might scream but they are not in pain - most of the time. It’s their way of communication, I heard.

Same goes for construction sites. It’s just the worker’s outdoors voices. They use it for long distance information transfer.

chinplants? Chimplants?

Who doesn’t. It’s common sense.

I’d say, perfect.

I learned the term sovcit. Interesting concept, it isn’t mine though.

You sound angry because there are multiple point of views for a thing and I don’t agree with your pov. I think i get the gist of your reply. But without arguments this discussion is bound to go nowhere.

You say I’m wrong by using adblocking. You didn’t tell why.

• depriving content creators of their revenue. Yes. One should think about supporting them through donation platforms like Patreon. They get money from direct marketing (holy…) - I’m fine with that (no JavaScript, no tracking, I can skip ahead since I got the message the first time).
• depriving YouTube of the money they need to run their CDN. Partially. Bandwidth usage, maintenance costs. Should I mention that youtube sells/ licenses servers to ISPs… So they get paid by me, indirectly.
• TOS I didn’t sign anything, there is no contract between me and YouTube. Or is there one?

Edit: this is not about me wanting you to take my view or wanting to be convinced by you. You may disagree or even despise me. That’s fine.
Everyone has to decide for himself what’s right and wrong and life with it. And maybe I have to rethink my decisions if there are aspects I didn’t take into account or if I lied to me to justify my decisions.

Umm… Maybe. Let’s take a look.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/267606/quarterly-revenue-of-google/:

In the first quarter of 2025, Google’s revenue amounted to over 89.52 billion U.S. dollars, up from the 79.97 billion U.S. dollars registered in the same quarter a year prior.

… They’ll survive.

I guess the content creators take the hit when users block ads or refuse to use premium.

Edit: your addendum is false. Technically YouTube freely delivers (answers http gets and posts), the user just refuses to watch all of their content or take part in the tracking. No broken windows or climbed fences.

Interesting idea. I would buy one.

Armed with fresh funding, IXI is now planning to ramp up R&D, expand its team of 50 people, and move into a new headquarters with a purpose-built lab and clean room facilities. The company plans to hold the first live demos of its glasses later this year.

But maybe I shouldn’t hold my breath, yet.

That’s good and all. But we should go deeper.

For instance, what’s the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?

At least you can choose not to use their services.

I guess a smart phone would be a luxury item in NK. So one could chose not to use one instead of being tracked?

In Germany the government and police use the word Quellentelekommunikationsüberwachung (telecommunication source surveillance) when they express their desire to have a Trojan on someone’s phone - to protect the children of course.

So the phenomenon is not unknown outside of NK.

Not so fast! The judgment isn’t final yet. Plus some trials are still pending. Also the CEO seems to be too sick for trial.

To be fair. There are trials. It is not great but it could be worse. Imagine people could be deported and sent to prison for alleged crimes. Or so…

Yes. Light receptors maybe, but eyes…

source

… and light-sensing organs called ocelli, which can sense the presence and absence of light. Additionally, some jellyfish have sensory structures called rhopalia, which contain receptors to detect light, chemicals and movement.

Oh wait! This is unexpected:

… One group of jellyfish, the cubozoan jellyfish, have complex eyes… with lenses, corneas and retinas in their rhopalia.

Huh. Wiki agrees:

box jellyfish are unique in the possession of true eyes, complete with retinas, corneas and lenses.[13] Their eyes are set in clusters at the ends of sensory structures called rhopalia

Whoa.

Good.
