Everybody knows Facebook surveils, but seeing actual numbers is still newsworthy. Particularly when they're catastrophically high.

60% of Lemmy-instances blocks Threads.net (lemmy.sambands.net)

Based on data from https://fedipact.veganism.social/ it seems that the majority of instances blocks threads.net. I'm sure there's Lemmy instances with either approach that have slipped through the cracks as the list is a work in progress.

The percentage of users doesn't correlate to instances as the biggest instance on the Lemmyverse has roughly 3x the users of the second largest, a NSFW instance, 4x the users of the biggest "niché" instance and 5x the users of what I see as the second largest general purpose instance.

I enjoy making the gaming experience my own, so back before portable radios was a thing (even as a mod) why not watch some lore-appropriate VOD's while gaming?

[OC] Voice Synthesizer xVAsynth 2.0 - Tech Demo (5m48s) (peertube.sambands.net)

I'm fascinated by the possibilities that synthesizers and AI brings to gaming, machinima (narrative videos using game engines), streaming and similar.

In this video I'm testing xVAsynth to generate new voice-over lines for "V", the main character from Cyberpunk 2077. The voice model is downloaded from the net, but the lines are generated locally.

I'm absolutely stunned by the level of imitation the synthesizers are at - And keep in mind that this is "outdated" software.

YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet by registrert in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 54 points 11 months ago

I've used adblockers for like 15 years and I genuinely get disgusted when watching YouTube without it. There's no way I'll go back. I even do sponsorblock to remove in-video ads.

The unfortunate thing is that I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for a lot of content creators, just not via Google/YouTube.

A dollar per channel? I follow 104 content creators om YouTube through RSS. And many more if we count all the other platforms. I can't afford that.

It's a difficult situation for viewers, creators and providers. I don't have an answer, but a stop-gap solution I'd be happy to see is like 480p max for adblockers, pay for HD+. That's reasonable based on how much ad-dodgers impact YouTube from what I've gathered.

Fedi on Fire! - Streams fediverse posts in realtime (fedionfire.stream)

Basically it just displays a stream of Fediverse posts as they come to the server. Says it streams from "Mastodon/Fediverse" and links to jointhefediverse.net, so I don't know what the sources are.

But it's nice to look at!
