It's more for the advertisers Google hosts on YouTube than any values Google is trying to project on their users, I bet. Advertisers don't want their products advertised next to explicit content.

Google search is a little different in that the content is fairly separated from ads, unlike YouTube where they're inescapable.

Umm, yes. Breastfeeding doesn't come to new mothers naturally. It's a learned skill. And many new mothers have never been taught. When my wife was shown by a lactation consultant at the hospital, they were so busy they only were able to stay for 10m. And this was with a mother and baby having issues.

Easily accessible videos properly demonstrating techniques with a real baby would have been extremely helpful, but at the time exposed breasts for the purposes of breastfeeding weren't allowed on YT at all, let alone monetized. This has been huge effort by feminist groups for a reason.

I'm a software sales engineer. I was a systems administrator that learned a really in demand product front to back, and incidentally had good people skills and presentation skills. The company contacted me when I left that job and I joined on.

I scope installs, perform architecture reviews, compete with other products, give presentations/demos/conference talks, do hands on training, happy hours, dinners, triage and escalate support issues...

It's been life changing. No more oncall, West Coast / Silicon Valley benefits, lots of fun with customers, and absolutely stupid money in a good year.

Not everyone is cut out for it. It can be very stressful and high pressure, but those who can do very well for themselves.

GitLab and GitHub were always developed separately by completely different people and have never shared code.

LazyGit may actually be black magic from Satan to tempt programmers into sin. And to that I say: 'where is a goat I can sacrifice to my dark lord?'

Can't agree with you on Brave. You're putting a lot of trust in a for profit company with no real transparency or accountability mechanism.

But the title also neatly sidesteps all of the nuance that a user needs to actually understand what is happening. But "Norway experiencing unintended consequences from poorly executed EV incentives" won't drive clicks the same way

I just love how my printer has become an appliance. Like, shit, I need to print something. I just press print. No print head cleaning, no alignment, no driver download and crapware games, no color cartridge wack-a-mole to print black and white. It just... Prints. Every time.

It's become as exciting as using my toaster, and I love it for that.
