Async programming is really quite hard to wrap your head around. Currently I’m mostly struggling with excessive memory consumption.

I completely agree with you, and that’s the reason I block them as well. I was just trying to give an explaination for the app’s behaviour.

As I’ve mentioned in another thread, I believe YouTube provides analytics on this (hence the “most replayed” parts for some videos), and I’m certain I’ve seen some creators mention sposors requiring that information before a deal is made. So it may really hurt some small youtubers that can’t rely on merchandise sales.

That said, I personally use sponsorblock as I don’t feel like wasting my life on nordvpn ads, but I have to admit sponsor segments are a whole lot better than regular YouTube ads.

Edit: And as I far as I know they pay much better than regular ads.

I believe this is because sponsor segments are like traditional TV ads. They don’t use trackers, they are not targeted and they respect your privacy.

Do you know if there is a EU-wide place to report such behavior?

The biggest privately owned TV channel in my country not only does that, but actually just redirects you to a pdf file if you want to “manage cookies”. And it’s not like I can submit a complaint on a national level, as the ruling party’s website uses google analytics without a cookie notice at all.

I never knew why people need to conflate the personality or political opinions of the artist with the art they make.

In my opinion, even if the artist is a terrible human being they can still produce some good art. And even if the art they produce is crap, it can still prove valuable, as it can be parodied, modified, transformed or mocked.

I would guess mostly because python interpretes are just about everywhere.

Also the binaries compiled with nuitka end up being much bigger in size. A simple script of a few kb can and up in the hundreds of mb when you start compiling the dependencies, so it’s not a perfect solution.

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn’t have to remember how to do it. And I didn’t even name it after her…

Not only that it’s basically everywhere, but even if it’s not, you can compile it using something like nuitka and still use it.

Pretty fly for a white guy. It’s not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

Not only that. If all you need to deal with are still images Inkscape, Krita and to some extent GIMP are quite enough for my students, and I teach at an art university.

The community has been very calm and respectful so I’ve never really had to think about the moderation. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a deleted comment for example, and I’ve certainly never seen a hateful post or comment.

Other than that, the admin, db0 is quite left-leaning (or at least anti-capitalist), but so am I, so it never really bothered me.

To be completely honest, this is the only instance that I have an account in, so I can’t really compare it to the others, but it just felt like home to me.

When the reddit went bad I started looking for anti-corporate communities that would migrate.

r/cyberpunk was the first place I checked, but there was no discussion about migrating at all there. r/selfhosted was another obvious idea but people there seemed very reluctant as well.

The only sub that pointed to some clear migration path was r/piracy. I really appreciate the integrity of dbzer0 in this situation.

I’m using Linux and never really bothered scanning for viruses. Is ClamAV a good start?

Does the resolution really matter? I may be wrong, but I think nobody runs a Tor node, giving away their bandwidth for free and risking jail time, just so that some random dude in Arkansas can watch some porn.

I’m not sure if streaming 1080p video over Tor would be very appreciated by the rest of the network. Or that it would be a very pleasant experience.

Don’t know if you’re into that kind of minimal, but lately I’ve been using epy and it is just amazing.

Can’t see anyone mentioning this, but have you tried the johncena releases on 1337x?

All of them are neatly compressed, don’t need Steam and I haven’t seen a single one that doesn’t work out of the box on Manjaro.

Is there anything a person can do about it, other than using Firefox and degoogling?

Oh, I see. To be honest, I never really cared about HDR, but as far as I know it’s not supported on Linux at all.
