The stuff about it backing up it’s own weights so it can restore itself is pretty wild.

Hell, I’d settle for just taking some Mentats.

America experiencing it’s own Moss from the IT Crowd’s Fire Extinguisher made in Britain moment.

Let’s Encrypt

God damn they literally just want to watch everything burn.

Here comes Europe, Fuck Yeah. Here to save the motherfucking day yeah.

That’s because they are betraying the poor countries.

The amazing part is that he has been the ultimate symbol of Western decline and a personification of the USA’s dark Id his entire fucking life and still he somehow got elected twice.

Mr. Xi and his Communist comrades have long believed the West is weak, divided and in retreat. He will see this week as confirmation, and he won’t have to do much to exploit those divisions.

Someone call the burn unit.

I do a fair amount of video editing with it, and I haven’t had it crash once, in Windows or Linux, in years now.

Yeah let’s all just acquiesce to war criminals, great…

disinformation on Telegram soars

Honestly, you could probably leave it at that, because Telegram seems filled with disinformation no matter where you are.

This seriously sucks, though. It’s hard enough having people not understand autism, but to have this weaponized disinformation sucks worse.

It could be that Youtube also broke how it used to work, and it doesn’t work anymore. I was just hoping maybe it did, for OP’s sake.

Sure, but what about the age-restriction bypass, specifically?

I haven’t used yt-dlp in a hot minute, but it used to have a simple bypass for age-restricted videos that didn’t need browser cookies. Anyone know if that still works?

Only semi-related: Why do they always show pictures of Gates when he hasn’t been involved in MS in a long time? Why never Satya Nadella?

EDIT: Also, yes, related to the actual question already living Linux full time and when October rolls around probably gonna back up everything from the Windows side of my dual-boot and wipe the 1TB NVMe Windows is on to use as storage.

Y’all are just really desperate to kill any remaining faith I had in humanity that they aren’t all stupid selfish jerks, huh?

I remember the pre-Youtube internet where we created content because it was fun or educational, not because we needed money for the task of doing so.

Paying for server costs and maintaining them, sure. MetaFilter has a good system for that, they’re effectively a non-profit and have a donation structure and paid admins and moderators. The rest of the people on the site, they just make good content for the sake of making good content, not because they feel the need to be paid for their time doing it.

God I miss the pre-Youtube era. “Content creators” looking for a payday via advertising are a fucking cancer.

I have watch history disabled

Man how many people fail to fucking read this is literally re-enforcing my point that maybe more people need to read. This me, quoting myself, from above. Further, someone else made the same kind of comment over a half hour ago and I responded the same, noting that I had already mentioned that I have watch history disabled, so Youtube does not and cannot give me recommendations based on my watch history.

I actually almost never watch Youtube except for the odd video game trailer or random comedy-shit-post-snippet. I don’t have any subscriptions or channels I care about. I read.

Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.

Agreed.
