#USPolitics

Two things that most Americans support:

#1 https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-joint-resolution/54

It's only 3 paragraphs, but the TLDR is to reduce the amount of money in politics and limit the rights that corporations have.

#2: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/right-to-repair-reform-section-1201-of-the-dmca

Fix the DMCA so that it is once again legal to repair (and use) things you own, even if they have a "digital lock".

@Techaltar I have a portable car jumpstarter (basically a battery) that has "AI" in the name, because it automatically turns on the power when it detects a voltage drop from the engine trying to start.

It's a good feature, it adds a bit of safety, ...but it's not AI.

Most relatable thing I've seen an AI say so far, to be honest.

@dalan @Techaltar

In theory, YouTube could add this themselves, similar to the Ignore > Played on Another Platform setting for games on Steam, but that seems less likely than a community-supported mod.

@Techaltar @dalan Following up on the "scroll past on #youtube to watch on #nebula" topic - I'd love to see a browser extension/ #revanced patch/etc. that automatically marked videos watched on YT, and maybe even gave them a thumbs up.

It could be either when I watch the same video on nebula, or simpler, just as soon as the video appears on the YT channel/playlist (on the assumption I will watch it on nebula).

I want to both support the creator and train YT to recommend more like it to me.

@marco3000 @Techaltar I watch on nebula, but occasionally I'm tempted to go back to youtube, just because sponsorblock automatically skips past intros/outros/recaps/engagement reminders ("like and subscribe")/etc. for me there. I mostly watch channels I'm already subscribed to, so I really don't need any of that.

@nebula.tv could really benefit from a built-in feature like that.

I just checked, and so far on my phone, SponsorBlock has saved me 35 hours and 20 minutes!

@ahasty oh, good point, it doesn't have those. I'll let you know if I ever see any.

@Metal_Link yeah, I mean, it's not the end of the world. Amazon is going to refund me, because it's 100% their fault.

(I asked for an exchange, because it was a prime day sale but apparently they can't do that. They said to buy it again and they'll credit me the difference afterwards. It's just a lot of hassle.)
