How does that work? Does YT pay out to creators based on the subscriber count alone? I've only ever heard "like and subscribe to help fund this channel" mentioned when the videos are monetized (e.g ads or sponsors).

Or does PBS monetize their videos and uBlock just shields me from that?

Not that I don't want this to be true since it's an easy way to help fund them, but I am curious how (or if) this works.

I'm about to have my house powered by fusion energy.

'SplainedI'm installing a PV system, and solar energy is just fusion power at a distance.

Mine's only for people I know personally, so it's backed by my LDAP server and registration is disabled in Synapse. I use my regular onboarding process to create the new LDAP user and grant access to Synapse.

In theory you might be able to pass yourself off as some kind of supernatural figure, but not without knowing anything about their belief system first.

Nice. I've pretty much just used LibreTranslate for that, but will check that out and see if it works any better.

I just want more games to let you quit to desktop from the game without having to first "Quit to main menu -> Are you sure? (yes!) -> Loading screen + main menu animation -> Quit to Desktop -> Are you sure? (Yes, i'm goddamned sure!)"

so it's 30% not 20%

Fair. I was going by population numbers vs votes cast and didn't have the voter turnout numbers handy when I originally wrote that out and was paraphrasing from that to save time.

But that's still far from half, and I'm tired of people using the misconception/phrase to justify their xenophobic rhetoric.

"Half of Americans voted for this"

No, half the people who actually showed up to vote voted for the guy, but not necessarily all he is and has been doing. It's actually only about 20-22% or less of the population that actually voted this guy into office and fewer than that are on board with current events. Far from "half of Americans", so just stop it.

I understand where OOP is coming from re: social media screenshots as memes but I'll still have a bit of fun meme-ing the dilemma. No hard feelings, OOP, and I agree with you.

The only one I currently follow is !localllama@sh.itjust.works

I'm not anti-AI, but I am very much anti Big AI and also don't personally care for AI-generated images (they just look...uncanny to me), so I don't have much interest in anything beyond the tools I can run locally.

Searching "AI" has a lot of false positives, but searching "llama" has some results at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama

All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
