Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube
Honestly, it’s the terrible content moderation policies that are going to kill YouTube, not a certain type of video.

Apple pulls remaining Lightning-based devices from European stores
The title makes it sound like Apple did this of their own accord. In reality, this was the deadline for no longer selling these devices inside the EU.

Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks
Reply in thread
This is an idiotic argument. Lyme disease can cause extensive and chronic suffering. A cold is rarely fatal, but if you were going to live for a year with one, you’d probably be miserable.
Anything that can make a positive change in our lives should be regarded as exactly that. Yes, there are other problems out there, but sometimes we need to invest into smaller ones to better how we are able to deal with the larger ones. Disease research and study is a perfect example of this, as better understanding builds a pathway to future successes.

Nokia to deploy the first cellular network on the Moon
We believe delivering Nokia’s 4G/LTE system to the lunar surface is a transformative moment in the commercialization of space
Absolutely love the lack of regulation for space. Going to love seeing the Google ^tm^ Moon in 50 years.

Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac
Wouldn’t these subreddits just immediately pop up elsewhere. For example, if r/pics was paid, what’s to stop someone from creating r/picsfree?

17 Dolphin File Manager Tweaks
I wouldn’t say most of these are tweaks, given that they’re natively built into Dolphin. This is more of a feature list.

Why aren’t motherboards mostly USB-C by now?
Reply in thread
Not to mention the numerous amount of accessories that use USB-A. My keyboard, mouse, and flash drives all use USB-A.
In my cable collection, odds are that if a cable has USB-C on one end, then either USB-A or C is on the other end. That means every other connector still requires USB-A or a dongle.
USB-A‘s longevity (~20 years) basically ensures that until it’s much cheaper to use USB-C, it won’t replace USB-A.

Topics for a Linux intro course
You should probably explain what a distribution, a DE, a WM, and a DM are. I feel like this is something that Windows users lack in particular, as they have little control over these features.

Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
Reply in thread
They’re not becoming Apple 2.0, Apple is becoming Microsoft 2.0. If you look into the history of Microsoft and Windows, you’ll see that they’ve always been this way, but have received more pushback in the past. Microsoft is the OG tech giant empire.

Assuming that it’s actually reverse engineered, this is great news. If not, there’s a massive lawsuit brewing.

Tinkering and Stability

Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.

Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate
Reply in thread
I feel like your negative opinion of censorship is so strong that it overpowers your morality. Would you let a serial killer walk around shouting that we should kill everyone just for the sake of preventing censorship, or would you insist they’re locked up? See, even you have your limit.
Its a less extreme example, but the same logic applies here. We shouldn’t just let misogyny grow for the sake of ‘freedom’. That’s how you end up with stuff like the Nazis. Classic bystander mentality.

Selfhost alternative to sharedrop.io?
I use Tailscale (Taildrop & Taildrive) to send files between my devices no matter where I am. It’s a very simple install (maybe 10 minutes total), and just works.

help with jailbreaking
**There’s no jailbreak for iPhone 13 on iOS 16.0 yet. ** You can check jailbreak status here: link The discord server also will let you know when jailbreaks are released: link You’re lucky to be on iOS 16.0 as you’ll have access to both MDC and KFD exploits. These give some of the jailbreak functionality. You’ll want to install Sidestore (to sideload apps) and Cowabunga (to remove 3 app limit) to get access to tweak functionality.
