Re:Making the dislike count private across YouTube

> Those in the experiment could still see and use the public dislike button, but because the count was not visible to them, we found that they were less likely to target a video’s dislike button to drive up the count.
I don't understand this part. So, hiding the dislike count means less people will dislike.
Then what's the point of disliking a video? It provides much less feedback to a creator than just commenting, it's more often used as a signal to other viewers. If it's hidden, there's really no point of including it at all. In fact, why not remove likes too? And while we're at it, let's remove the view count too.
This is a really strange change, and I'm not sure that I'm happy about it.

Looking through the demo site, it really seems like it's just a copy paste of the real thing. It even collects analytics the same way.
This is not how you build a FOSS alternative.

I remember hearing about this a while ago, but back then it was based on Electron for some reason.
Looks like it has been completely rewritten since then?

Re:Archive.is owner on “continuity of his project”

Does any one know what's up with all the different domains for archive.is?
The blog is at blog.archive.today, it calls itself the "archive.is blog", but when I visit archive.is or archive.today, I'm brought to archive.vn. When I click the "archive.today" logo in the header, I'm taken to archive.ph

If I made a "now page", I'd probably forget about updating it for a while and then it would become a "then page".
Re:Google considers switching FLoC to a topic-based approach

I am much happier with this system, but I don't really see how this would help Google.. Early web advertising used basic page topic based targeting, but clearly more targeted ads make more money, so what monetary benefit does this provide Google?

YouTube should autoplay the video, at least it does on Chrome

Thanks!
I prefer the rickroll, however I can make a special case where if you input a specific code it'll be a "friday-roll". What should the code be?
A video conferencing service – that rickrolls you
With everybody at home, something that is really important is video calling. And thus I show to you, my amazing creation "co-vid"!But it's not actually a video calling service. It's a rickrolling service! Simply tell someone that you want to call them, and then tell them to use co-vid. https://co-vid.github.io/join then tell them some random meeting code to use and you're ready!heres a sample...
