Some lost JAV. Specifically some of Kaho Shibuyas. Haven’t been able to complete that collection yet. VRs and some older videos that the publisher doesn’t even exist anymore. I’d pay even. But until I visit an old DVD shop in Japan they are lost to the Internet.

People give JS a lot of shit. And I do too. But it’s meant to continue running and not fail like C code would. It’s meant to basically go “yeah, sure I’ll fuck with that” and keep trucking.

So you can always make it do stupid shit when you use it a stupid way.

Is this bad? Maybe. Was it the intention of the language? Absolutely.

Typescript fixes a lot of these headaches. But I feel like JS is doing exactly what it was meant to do. Keep trucking even when the programmer asks it to do stupid shit.

If you’re using JS and don’t understand this then it’s your fault and not the languages fault.

Do we all want to live in a world of typedefs as strict as C and have our webpages crash with the slightest unexpected char input? Probably not.

We don’t notice all the time JS goes “yeah I can fuck with that” and it works perfectly. We only notice the times it does that and it results in something silly.

TLDR: JS does what it was made to do. And because of that it looks absolutely ridiculous sometimes.

ipleak.net to confirm your VPN is not leaking your IP too. Add the magnet/torrent link option and keep that page open. Your client will connect and will show what ip address is being exposed to peers.

Also a good page to test your VPN in general.

As a joke. That’s kinda why we’re here.

Yeah if I didn’t buy lifetime pass for like $50 years and years ago I’d be done with Plex probably.

That would basically require ending capitalism at this point. Maybe at the birth of the digital era we could have had a balance between them. But capitalist fought tooth and nail to ensure that existing systems based on scarcity and demand would be artificially enforced in digital form.

Instead of restructuring our economic systems by benefiting society as a whole we sadly forced the existing economic systems onto a digital world that it didn’t work on.

Those contradictions are still coming full circle though. I do not think these current systems can be maintained. It may take another generation or ten to see this digital oligarchy collapse.

Copyright is not there to protect the “mom and pop developer” like some might try to argue. It is there to ensure capitalist structures are enforced in the digital world. A world that is in complete contradiction to them. (Not unlike the material world but just more extreme)

Nice. I don’t think I saw SmartTube before. Will check it out. Thanks.

I changed to the projectivity launcher on my Android TV and it was night and day in terms of performance. No ads. The UI doesn’t change every other week to make me look at some new show I don’t care about. I can literally just hide everything I don’t want to see.

I should probably look into actual entire OS swaps available for my TV but I don’t have the time. Changing the launcher and using ADB (over lan) to disable updates and apply some optimizations was worth the day it took me.

Turns out the hardware on the TV is fine. The software was just complete garbage and got worse with every update.

Now if only I could fix the UI in the actual apps like YouTube. But still it’s a lot better. I’ll probably install the YouTube alternative app one day when I have time.

My wife started using the TV over her tablet after I changed it. She said she hated how slow it was to just turn on and start that she just would go to her tablet instead.

I mean wouldn’t it just be “ways to cheat tarrifs”

Like I guess they don’t want to promote that but they could just say “ways to cheat tarrifs we will punish” to try to sound hard.

But this phrase just makes no sense.

I think you’re trying to convince yourself more than anyone else at this point.

It’s funny how you completely fell apart unable to defend your own point and started rambling about completely random shit. Still haven’t even given me a whisper of a response to your insane idea of public shaming to your kids.

Literally talking about paying kids to snitch on your children. That’s next level crazy parent shit. Something my initial comment hoped (in good faith) was a joke. But instead of clarifying that; you doubled down instead. Which only makes me believe you are actually that insane.

You are still making assumptions about “me” instead of responding to the single point of criticism I gave you. You hit some next level “debate lord” levels of incoherence at this point. Desperately trying to redirect from your initial comment.

Literally all Ive given you is a criticism of your initial comment. How you shame your kids publicly. That’s it. Anything else you’ve said has been shit you’ve made up to avoid talking about that. Which is really boring at this point.

But I’m sure you’re ready to respond with assumptions about me instead of trying to defend your own position.

/Yawn

Can you address my criticism or not? Because this is getting old.

Do you think publicly shaming your kids is good parenting? Because that’s what you gave advice for in the first place.

My initial comment hoped that you were joking about paying kids to snitch. Literally give me a crumb of denial (jest) mate. That’s all I’m asking.

Recover from that initial insane perspective.

Yeah. That’s not how conversations work mate. You say something and someone criticizes you for it. You address the criticism. Not start rambling about shit you made up in your head.

You asked questions to change the topic away from my criticism of you publicly shaming your kids. Which you still have not addressed.

Are you having a conversation with yourself? I don’t owe you any answers until you address my initial criticism. Or do you want to keep making up stuff I never said and then refuting it?

Shaming your kid in the way you described is what I’m criticizing. Maybe address that.

I’m sorry but this is awful advice. Bordline psychotic with the shaming them at school line. Paying friends to be snitches? Like i really hope this is satire.

Sounds like my parents. So forgive me if you’re joking. You just end up becoming someone your kids circumvent and not someone they come to for help.

Teaching a kid “how to live under your rules” is doing nothing to prepare them for how to live.

It really sounds like “talk to them” is just “command them and punish/shame them if that doesn’t work”.

Again, this is by design. The point is GitHub is for developers. If a non developer reaches the page they SHOULD feel a little intimidated. They SHOULD be either forced to read some notes or come back and ask for help (like the commenter did).

This is for their own benefit. Its meant to give people pause about what they are installing or downloading. Since GitHub can host anything. It SHOULD feel different than downloading Discord or some other app.

It is not meant to be a friendly UI that says “Install here!”. It is meant to make the user have some caution over what they are doing.

And, again, it’s designed for developers. Not end users.

I think it’s a good design in some ways and worse in others.

For this case it’s annoying because it’s just a .zip that has the binaries ready to go i assume.

But you really want the focus to be on the README and good install instructions. Especially when the releases are just uncomiled source code (which is common).

So I think GitHub leaves this focus on the README and let’s the dev decide what is the focus of the people visiting.

Yep. And I don’t have to use 10 different video player UIs. I can just use Plex. That lifetime pass from years ago has been worth it. Even if I know people are critical of Plex.

Same but photopea usually replaces Gimp for me now. Works in the browser and is basically Photoshop but without all the automated tools.

That’s likely safe. But…

Most malware isn’t trying to make your computer unusable anymore. That was the old days when people just wanted their “hacking” acknowledged.

You can definitely still be running a crypto miner if you sudo’d something stupid you downloaded on Linux.

He’d probably just upgrade your drivers to the latest stable version for your distro and fix all those W: prints you see whenever a guide tells you to “sudo apt update”.

You know who you are and you’re me.
