Basically, you can make any kind of 2D videogame with neural AI. In 2026 (gotta wait 3D model generation to mature), you should be able to make any kind of 3D videogame too

YellowArchitecton How to steal user data – just autoupdate a year later

Just let the user create something and make his creation dependent on the software. Then update the software to lock itself, unless he gives personal data/verification. Never trust auto-updates, literally a ticking bomb which will eventually turn into spyware if not already.

YellowArchitecton Finally a Good GUI for YoutubeDL

Hello, I have been using youtubeDL for a year or so now, almost daily, and honestly, using the command prompt is so unwieldy, and all GUIs I found are either bloated or missing features (mentioned in the link)

I made this tool, free for everyone, so people like me can download any video, to bypass censorship

Yes, there are other video downloaders, but none are near this good. Aside of the expected casual features, you can put arguments on the input line (e.g. download only vids with over 1000 views) and it also automatically pastes your clipboard once you open/focus it, if it detects a video URL, saving you the trouble of clicking and pasting.

Obvious disclaimer, I am its creator, but I can promise you my shilling is not without something worthy to back it up. I hope it's useful :D
