I have some earplugs I carry on my keyring that I originally bought for concerts. I don’t know if you can wear something like that or noise cancelling headphones, but that might help on occasion.

Whistling is where I’d draw the line though. That would make me the crazy person that would confront him directly. If he isnt receptive to knocking it off I would escalate to my boss or get hr back in the mix.

It isn’t a specific number of hours.

Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.

If it feels harmful seek help. If not, have fun.

I like Mamdani – he is well spoken and passionate about helping people. Jon Stewart would do a good job, but I don’t know if we need more celebrities.

Competent, completely new, cabinet

Review and revoke most of Trump’s executive orders

Review and reduce the budget for ICE (assuming congressional support)

Restore alliances with our traditional allies – starting with tariff reduction/removal where appropriate

Tax the rich, support the poor.

The pee isnt the bad part, even though gross.

People take a dump. Then they wipe. Then flush. Then wash hands.

Now someone comes in, pees, flushes, leaves. Poop germs are on their hand now. They go about their day and probably eat something or touch their face. Gross.

People care. The world cares. Sounds like you and your social circle doesn’t care.

If we can make it through to midterm elections I will worry then.

Put em on the tube.

Bangs with a long mullet and shaved sides. Treat yourself queens.

This will be truth social again with a pre-existing user base and better algorithms. People will drop off, but they will probably boil the frog slowly to keep people around.

Based on the image, that took off on myspace.

It’s very awkward. I think they mean you can stop the intent to cancel, so cancel the cancellation.

Certainly the CEOs will patiently ensure guardrails are in place before chasing a ROI. Right? … Right?

Uh oh…

That’s a good question. I honestly don’t know, they’ll probably try to hang him on primetime tv as soon as legally possible.

I just keep hearing about discord and 4chan and how he’s got a trans roommate/girlfriend/landlord. If anyone has any reputable sources I’m interested. I just feel like cable news, the Trump admin, and the Internet are all reporting 24/7 on something they need to investigate.

At least people face consequences for lying under oath. Well in theory.

I wouldn’t trust anyone describing his political leanings or motives until court. It’s being twisted around and rumors are spreading like wildfire in a vacuum of actual leadership.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!

I could imagine a world where whole virtual organizations could be spun up, and they can just run in the background creating whole products, marketing them, and doing customer support, etc.

Right now the technology doesn’t seem there yet, but it has been rapidly improving, so we’ll see.

I could definitely see rich CEOs funding the creation of a “celebrity” bot that answers questions the way they do. Maybe with their likeness and voice, so they can keep running companies from beyond the grave. Throw it in one of those humanoid robots and they can keep preaching the company mission until the sun burns out.

What a nightmare.

They parse the website for feeds, search, etc. It is a java library and it looks like they are using jsoup to parse the dom.

Using the website and actually establishing a connection to a video are separate things. The search side of things is essentially a headless browser that is just aimlessly looking for videos. As far as YouTube is concerned nothing is played during this process.

When you decide to commit and watch a video, the NewPipe client establishes a connection to the video stream, which doesn’t count for YouTube stats.

YouTube counts a view for long-form content when a viewer watches for at least 30 seconds, while Shorts views count each time a short begins to play or replay, with no minimum watchtime. Valid views must come from human users, with limitations on how often the same person can generate views within a short timeframe to prevent fraud from bots or artificial inflation.
