Newpipe was having issues a month or two ago. I had to go a couple days without a decent frontend. I tried the official app, off course, but I decided I'd rather go have a nice walk in the woods and do some mindfulness exercises.

What is it like seeing ads on Youtube? by abbadon420 in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Same. Back when there was just a single ad at the beginning of a video and you could skip it after only 10 seconds, I would just mute and look away from my phone for 10 seconds (counting out loud). Those days are gone. The petty "look away" is almost becoming a petty "go get some groceries".

fully AI-based

Okay, so it's just a marketing scheme, not an actual new and improved product. Got it!

Like in this post that showed up on my all feed: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/14828436 (nsfw, of course)

There's an image in the post url (which blurs on my feed) and there's also an image in the post body (which does not blur on my feed)

Naam, adres en email invullen voor een petitie. Is het raar dat ik daar moetie mee heb? Zou jij dat zomaar invullen? (lemm.ee)

Ik kreeg zojuist dit "burgerinitiatief" onder mijn neus. Ik wil het met liefde steunen, maar ze vragen om mijn naam, adres en email.

In deze tijden van privacy bewustwording en greenwashing, merk ik dat ik daar toch moeite mee heb. Ik beeld me in dat een datazuchtig bedrijf een campagne als deze kan inzetten om informatie te verzamelen van mensen die met passie, en misschien zelfs een beetje existentiele paniek, alle kansen willen aangrijpen om (passief) aan de verbetering van het klimaat bij te dragen. Om vervolgens die data door te verkopen of voor andere commerciele doeleinden te gebruiken. Ben ik paranoide of is het juist verstandig dat ik mijn adres gegevens niet zomaar online in wil vullen? En hoe zit dat met deze specifieke partij, is dit een betrouwbare partij?

I recieved this email today. I don't use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don't know these people and I'm a 100% certain they don't know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

I teach a course in java and springboot for beginners. I would like to walk my students through the code of a real world java or springboot application. Can anyone recommend a good example?

[History] An editor letter by Edsger Dijkstra, titled: "go to statements considered harmful" (march 1968). (dl.acm.org)

In this letter, Dijkstra talks about readability and maintainability in a time where those topics were rarely talked about (1968). This letter was one of the main causes why modern programmers don't have to trouble themselves with goto statements. Older languages like Java and C# still have a (discouraged) goto statement, because they (mindlessly) copied it from C, which (mindlessly) copied it from Assembly, but more modern languages like Swift and Kotlin don't even have a goto statement anymore.
