Honestly this irks me to no end. We now have thousand dollar phones with all the speed, Ai capabilities, design, cameras, speakers, etc. Everything you could've wanted at its best in terms of performance, picture and camera quality, AI features.... Except now you're missing headphone jacks, replaceable batteries, Ir blasters, SD cards, extra Sim slots.... Like, really, a thousand dollars for a phone and it has less features than a 200 dollar phone? Less features than phones from 6 years ago? Why the fuck have we sacrificed so much?? We had the chance to have a long golden era of long lasting, everything capable phones, but instead we're stuck with boring bricks that do less than before, last less due to batteries wearing out, and come bloated with shit that you don't need and can't remove.

We seriously need some phone company out there to spec the fuck out of a high end phone with all these features, AND which meets GrapheneOS requirements and lets us flash the phone with whatever the fuck we want. We've gone completely backwards on phones, and it's becoming more and more pointless to upgrade, you're just changing phones for the batteries these days.

Re: Your YouTube issues: are you based in America? I'm in the EU, might be something regarding that.

I hadn't considered that, considering your regulations are light years ahead... I'm from Honduras.

Downloading filter lists? This is something people do? I've never done that.

Yep, I had never done it before YouTube started its war on adblockers. It's a 5 second matter, but I do occasionally get blocked entirely for having an adblocker. On some occasions, filter lists hadn't yet been updated to counter the new blocker, I had to go out and touch grass for a few.

..... Chat gpt can look at images now?

Serious question. Why? No, for real, why? Why are these hard to understand editors still the default on most distros and flavors? Why haven't they reinvented themselves with easier to understand shortcuts?

I get the feeling my comment will attract heat, but I'm a web dev, studied comp Sci for years, have worked for nearly a decade and have spent over half my 30 year old life using computers of all sorts. I'm by no means a genius and I by no means know enough about this or most tech subjects, but I literally only knew how to close vim with and without saving changes in a recent vim encounter, purely due to a meme I saw in this community a few days prior, and I had already forgotten the commands by the time I saw this post. Nothing about vim and alternatives feels intuitive or easy to use, and you may say it's a matter of sitting down and learning, which you can argue that, but you can't argue this isn't a bit of a gatekeeper for people trying to dip their toes into anything that could eventually rely on opening vim to do something.

I won't try to deny its place in computer history, or its use for many, or even that it is preferred by some, but when every other software with keyboard shortcuts agrees on certain easy to remember standards, I don't quite understand how software that goes against all of that hasn't been replaced or hasn't reinvented itself in newer versions.

Then again, I have no idea what the difference between vi, vim, emacs, and nano are, so roast away!

Not unaffected, I'm on Firefox with ublock on windows and it was pretty bad for a bit there, and now the videos are... Weird. Like they'll suddenly stop playing and pretend they're loading, but the buffer bar is far ahead, or the buffer bar will start stuttering and losing buffer multiple times a second, or the video will skip ahead by 5 seconds randomly, or the video will keep playing but in a frozen frame with audio continuing in the background.

It's been super frustrating, and piped is slow and the UI is super clunky so I haven't migrated to it, but the current YouTube experience is just something I'll have to put up with alongside re-downloading filter lists every now and then. I have been working on a few UI tweaks for piped that hopefully get merged in, but it's been a rough few weeks IRL and I haven't gotten around to finishing.

90% of the sites I visit don't abuse ads.

Damn so you don't use YouTube?

How's performance on that setup? I own the case and am looking to do the exact same vdev setup this next year, but am wondering if the wider vdevs negatively impact performance in any noticeable way. Also wondering if 128gb of ram is too little for that kind of setup with 20tb drives, I feel like I might have to find out the hard way...

The article makes no mention to the molecules only working on cancer cells. The molecules, according to the article, attach to cell membranes, and then the molecules are jiggled to blow up the cells. That process doesn't mention an ability to differentiate between cancer and non-cancer cells. The technique was tried on a culture growth, where a hammer would have the same results. It was also tried on mice, where half were left cancer-free, but little is said about the process, the specifics of the results, or what happened to the other half of mice.

We all get the goal of cancer research, OP is just doubtful that this achieves it, as am I, as well as anyone who's read good news about eradicating cancer in the past few decades. Most are duds or go nowhere even if initially promising, so...
