It's so much better and worse than Wikipedia at the same time.

It's a soft reminder of that

Interesting https://www.youtube.com/Switzerland is still mine, but my user handle is gone. https://www.youtube.com/@Switzerland goes to swiss tourism but they have the handle @switzerland

This is unsurprising. They do this a lot with especially short usernames. I recently saw an interview with a German youtuber (@dima) where they talked about how youtube gave them this channel. In that case the channel still contained private videos and information of the previous owner, which I find somewhat shocking.

Easy fix: use youtube without a channel, e.g. using newpipe or yt-dlp.


> but my user handle is gone.

Did you ever have it? When they introduced handles you had to specifically claim that name, otherwise you get @(name)-(random), it doesn't matter if you had /Switzerland as a channel url.


Today I had a good day.

> Put AirPods into my ears

> Press play

> AirPods connect from my iPhone to my Mac

> iPhone starts to play music on speaker


Similar to my experience, but work.

> Put AirPods into my ears

> Connect to Microsoft Teams on my Mac

> Join Meeting

> Privately pull up mobile app discussed in meeting on my iPhone

> AirPods automatically connect from my Mac to my iPhone

> Nobody can hear me and I can't hear them until I leave, manually connect AirPods to Mac and rejoin

> Repeat two more times


yes and btw, my clock is still moving ...


They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.


I do feel like LLM's start to match certain personalities and characteristics of users which makes them unattractive to others. I assume we will need a better kind of personalization layer in the future or the ecosystems will start to drift. For example I very much feel like grok fits my thought patters by far the best.


None. I find the quality and mostly left wing bias in the current state unacceptable. Too little neutral reporting and way too much subtle opinion making on the current thing.


Without irony, I actually find the South China Morning Post probably the most unbiased, straight on US news.

It also acts as a filter for important US events since they aren't motivated to put out 24/7 bullshit like US based news.

Major US news organizations, be it right or left leaning are just complete trash. Not much higher standards than the National Enquirer at the grocery check out line.

I can't blame the news organizations though since news/politics have become a type of dominate team sport for entertainment in the US in the last decade. Really only second in popularity to the NFL.


Having lived in Hong Kong for a significant portion of my life, I have a soft spot for the SCMP. However it is owned by Alibaba now, so effectively an arm of the CCP.

Use it wisely to bias western propaganda with eastern.


If everything leans left, then perhaps left is the neutral point? Globally, I feel like the USA lies to the far right of everyone else.


Bait used to be believable.


> I find the quality and mostly left wing bias in the current state unacceptable

Except when it comes to current geopolitics that is, now we're talking delusionally right wing bias. wink wink


Openchargemap has some awesome 3D models integrated, see Zürich for example.


I want this as a humanoid robot for my personal projects
