We repurchased 10 million shares totaling $1.2 billion at an average price per share of $119.

They are just greedy. They have the money, but giving the money to the rich is evidently more important.

What holds youtube from blocking all videos to addblock users just as other sites do?

It's a constant game of cat and mouse, an arms race till the end of time. You can't block videos from ad-block users if you can't tell which users are using adblock and which are not.

I don’t understand why self hosted videos aren’t more popular

It's quite complicated technologically, and requires quite a lot of storage space. Viewers only go where the creators go, and the creators have no reason to go to someplace that is more of a pain in the ass to host videos.

It's not a perfect replacement, and I never claimed as such. But for most people's needs, gimp is perfectly capable.

That, and Gimp is quite a capable photo editing tool.

While the moon has basically no atmosphere, I don't think it would matter much. Plenty of lunar dust would get blown around by the force of the engines, and the mass or that dust would contribute. Beyond that, the exhaust itself has a lot of force, and is probably plenty.

Look at the Apollo missions taking off, it's quite violent for the surround area.

That's exactly the first thing that crossed my mind. Whenever I get a depressive episode, the last thing I want to do is cook. So the least effort, quickest meal is the meal I have. And meals like that are generally processed, terrible foods.

But how are their parents going to get them to work? /s

That is basically what is going on. We do technically have representation in the same way La Croix has taste.

More or less, yeah

People have tried with minimal success to do something like this IIRC.

The biggest problem is that corporate America has shit loads of cash. So much so that even if Americans were to pull the money together, it just wouldn't compete.

The solution is to vote politicians into power that don't accept bribes and are willing to criminalize them.

Gotta love a bribery based legislature system.

 

The two week old article is about a recent event that occurred within the last month, here is a section of the article:

Published 12:05 PM EDT, July 14, 2023

A Capitol riot suspect who had guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested near former President Barack Obama’s Washington home has been indicted on federal firearms charges, authorities said Friday.

If posting an article that is older than two weeks is considered "old content" deserving of being removed, then the rules on the sidebar should represent that. I'm not sure which mod removed it so I'm making this a general post instead of talking to the mod that removed it directly.
